Johnbull Sewing Chop SC003

[martinjmadriaga]

I'm looking to get into raw denim, and I'm looking at BiG and I see that these look like a good jean to start off. Nice, Japanese denim, and i'm looking for a pretty slim cut, something like a Levis 514 or a Nudie Thinn Finn, do you think these would be it? Also, if I purchased these, would I have to soak them one more time to get the measurements I want, because they say one wash already.

^^^ I also want to know.

I was just about to post a question about the Johnbull Sewing Chop SC008 jeans. I am also looking for a selvage jean close to Thin Finn. (someone told me they don't make selvage in tapered fits, but I guess they do? yay!)

These look like they will shrink to tag size, so if you wear a 30, buy a 30. A long soak and trip in the dryer will get a lot of the shrinkage out of the way, and you won't lose much indigo. Look in the encyclopaedia for more info on this.

I normally wear a size 32, but got size 30 in the sc002 and after a 2 hour long hot soak, the waist did not really shrink much at all. Then again, I did put them on and chill in the tub for a bit to make sure they wouldn't shrink. Let them drip dry overnight. They shrunk a little bit all over except the waist really.

That being said, Johnbull makes great jeans, you'll love them. Been wearing my 002's for about 4 months now and have to say they are one of my favourites.

when i first went to BIG i tried on a bunch of jeans I looked atthe john bulls because of the Price point But i liked the pbj's better cause the indigo was darker

gordon just emailed me back saying they don't really shrink, but they are tagged bigger cuz they are low-rise for the sc008. sorry for a dumb question: they are one wash so i can just wear them without soaking right?

Thanks! Yeah the SC002 are selvage and have hidden rivets on the back pockets.

Sewing Chop is quickly earning a place in my heart as the next jean I will buy.

According to BiGs' site they're one-wash.
