PRPS

[stickshift]

I got my Prps tagged 34 measure 36 and stretched to a 37-38.

How much did the thighs stretch?

[ILHE1S]

thank you!

hence, size down 3 from your true waist...

I told everyone i sized down 3 for prps but got Neg rep instead, demanding that i need to size up and have children!

You have to be very specific on here cause ppl will jump on something you say! Yeah you sized up 3 from the tagged size but probably 1-2 from the actually measured waist size. Feel me!

[ILHE1S]

How much did the thighs stretch?

Sorry for double post.

Have measured thigh lately. Will do so soon and post!

Just grabbed a pair of raw Ramblers in a sz 28 for $190 shipped off Bluefly. More than what I would've liked to pay, but been trying to get these for awhile now. Pretty stoked - just hope they fit.

[deadstock23]

will be soaking them today... pics up later

pre-soak

looking great!

[Luca5446]

those do look great...anyone have any luck with a pair of Barracuda Dark wash? I've had mine for 6 months, starting to fade a little bite, but I don't get to wear them enough

I hope kyle achieves some good wear n tear and posts up here

^those looking nice.

here are mine sized two down and after a month or so. Really a pic to show off new nikes

Are raw selvedge Barracudas unsanforized?

[PandaXS]

to my knowledge all prps are sanforized so nah totally sanforized

[909]

please, anyone knowledgeable, some help...

after waiting months, i just received a pair of prps raw barracuda is size 34 and the waist is just a tad bit loose in the back. and yes, the waist measures about 3/4 of an inch larger than marked. the front and back rise and upper thigh is pretty skin tight, which is somewhat new for me, though not uncomfortable, but based on what i've read it should significantly stretch out.

ok, my questions... if i size down, one more, to a 33 waist, as it is currently available, are the front and back rise and upper thigh measures the same as the 34 or proportionally smaller? additionally, would i be better staying with a 34 or downsizing one more as I'd like the denim fitted but not super tight? and right now i could use a bit of stretching in the front and back rise and upper thighs...

[PandaXS]

if its skin tight everywhere but the waist i would stay with that size. prps do love to stretch but they wont stretch more than 3/4ths of an inch in the thigh. a fit pic could help determine what the perfect size would be

Need advice/help.

Took my border collie out playing by a pond while I had my black Ramblers on and now they've got some mud spots all around the lower legs. If they were indigo I wouldn't really mind but it just looks trashy on dark black denim.

I tried taking a brush to the mud but it's just not really that caked on to where a brush would be effective. It was more of thin, watery mud that's now dried on to the denim. Should I just say to hell with it and soak the lower parts of the denim in cold water or would this undoubtedly leave me with uneven loss of dye?

Advice appreciated (besides telling me not to wear dry denim to a muddy pond - lesson learned).

Thanks!

[PandaXS]

just do a quick soak or say f*ck it and wear it until it leaves naturally. i'd wear it out

[poly800rock]

[PandaXS]

Thats what I noticed when I started looking to buy prps ramblers online. None of the stores that were suppose to be selling prps actually had them in stock anymore. Just happened to be walking past a denim shop in the city and they had 1 pair left which fitted like a glove so I impulse bought them.

[PandaXS]

oh nice!!! how long ago was that? you got any progress updates on them?

[devilva]

I havent put them in my rotation to be honest so no progress to speak of. Im not use to a tight fit like the ramblers, grew up on looser jeans so I rarely find myself reaching for them but thats not to say I dont like them. Im hoping once I break a couple of the newer jeans I have in I'll have the ramblers next in line.

I have been looking at some PRPS raws on the internet, but on some sites there are no fold-over pockets on the raws, but on some sites there are. How come?

[PandaXS]

they are different models. the most made ones are the folded over pockets but every couple years prps make either red selvedge limited edition ones with riveted back pockets or purp line riveted ones(even sometimes with the folded over pockets) I think this year was red with rivets

[element02]

I'm about to purchase a pair of the Barracuda in raw indigo denim. I wear a 36 in LVC 1947 and Edwin Nashville. What size Barracuda should I buy?

Thanks

[PandaXS]

a 34 or 33. 34 for pretty a more straight fit and 33 for a more slim fit. they stretch quite a bit and come inches bigger in waist.

Judging by the description, it seems to me it is the standard edition of the barracuda raw. I can't find the fold over pocketed raw barracuda on any european retailer

edit: btw I found a sale on Barracudas for americans http://www.bluefly.com/PRPS-raw-wash-Barracuda-selvedge-straight-leg-jeans/designer-cat60004-4294957542/305253501/detail.fly 209 USD, bargain. They only have 29, 33, 38 left though.

[burningbright]

Yeah I recommend sizing down to a 34.

And yeah, I know what you mean about trying to find the Ramblers anymore. I grabbed mine for $50 off of Gilt but that's only because I'm a 36 waist.

Glad I went true to size too.

I'll be sure to post some evo pics as I break them in more. As of now I've only been wearing them sporadically because I just don't wear black denim all that much.

Is it the same fit for both the fold-over back pocket and standard back pocket versions?

[PandaXS]

Yea all barracudas

And the pic of the ones w/o folded over and judging by pocket fabric looks like a wwII model

[acabucca]

hi, possible stuid question but...

I've just got the rambler one rinse and they are kind of creased/crinkly.

should I iron or will creases fall out.

I dont want to be left with "crinkly fade!

where the fuck can i buy the ramblers nowadays? need raw in 28 or 30

bluefly is selling raw ramblers, but they are mislabeled on their site as raw barracuda.

i have a size 33W here (p37p19e), which i ordered to compare the fit against my 34W raw barracuda (p37p19e03). this is the second pair of raw ramblers they've sent me instead of barracudas...

:confused:

so they are going back

i should have been content with the 34s as it has been murder waiting nearly two weeks until day to actual start wearing them.
