First Pair of Raw Jeans. I'm Nervous!

[Roflcopterpwnsyou]

Oh and by the way I just turned 13.

I worked at a Party City when I was 14 to fund shows and band merch from a bunch of bands I'd currently like to avoid discussing. God damn. The internet has ruined adolescence

[shoejuice]

Lol. Its funny though because at the same exact moment I'm taking pills. Well its Tylenol but screw that. Now theres only one thing left. I'm probably going to rip a hole in them or something. I treated my previous pair of pants pretty bad (they were cargos not jeans) and got holes in both knees. Any tips?

and to roflcopterpwnsyou theres like one party city here in New York, NY but like its boring. One messed up job I did was dress up as spiderman and spongebob to entertain autistic kids. Lets just say that event has scarred my life and I hope these jeans will let me forget about them.

shit i dont think id even WANT to be 6'7".. thats just too tall. how do you ever find stuff that fits? how do you find girls that even approach your height?

i find plenty of stuff that fits, i just buy larger sizes than you of the shorter stature. my current lady friend is 6'1", so its all good

the universe has a way of balancing itself out.

[shoejuice]

6 inches can be a big difference. Thats half a foot. The last girl I dated was 5'5 or 5'6. more than 3 or 4 inches is just weird

[homme.homme]

Try to forget about getting cool fades and all that. Just wear them in the same way you would any other pair of pants. albeit more frequently.

Stick to the Dukes. You have already saved up the coin. If you go for something like APC and stay here at SuFu you are going to want to upgrade in a matter of days/weeks so the Dukes sound perfect.

Good luck. Look forward to seeing pics in 6 months.

[shoejuice]

ok. Lets hope this japanese denim has what it takes to stand the horrors of going to school and partying and playing minor sports.

+rep for that. I was once rudolph at a holiday event probably when i was about 12 or 13. Fuck that shit. Enjoy though. I still cant save money for shit

[corter]

just hope you dont stop growing yet. i hit 6'3" in 8th grade (14 or 15?) and stopped for good.

p.s.- the ex is 5 foot nothing. that difference was interesting.

[shoejuice]

That jig was the backbone for my savings. Since it was for autistic kids they paid a lot of money cause they wanted to get sponsored and stuff. The jig was 4 hours long in a huge suit lol. Well actually when I was spiderman I had to wear spandex but it was weird cause some kid uh grabbed my ass. The gig was 200 for 4 hours which means $50 per hour. That was pretty good. But I had to buy head phones and besides becoming a denimfreak I am an audiophile. So 100 dollars off the 200

get to 6'7", i dare you. in fact, i double dog dare you.

Shit! I'm 6'5 1/2" but 6'7" is huge, although I met a guy who was 6'10" once and looked 17, he was an angry person...

[kenthenoob]

my first pair were 501xx STFs.... i'm waiting for my APC NS to arrive in the mail...

i figure i'd slowly work my way up to better jeans.

[Roflcopterpwnsyou]

shoe have you considered any of the Kicking Mule Workshop stuff? I've been looking over them more and more lately as my next possible purchase. Imperials are nice, just figured I'd throw my two cents in about a different brand.

[shoejuice]

well I'm a GROWING Denimfreak so I have never heard of them. Edit: I just looked them up and damn they look good. The AWA's are Nice . I think ill stay with Dukes for now and after Dukes I'll get RRDS and then I think I'll get those.

[Lab]

shit i dont think id even WANT to be 6'7"..

I agree. The ideal height: tall enough to dunk, but not enough to require a 4 button suit.

[shoejuice]

6'7 is way more than you need to dunk. Spud Webb is my height and he can dunk. And he can wear a suit. Lol. But he's just abnormal.

[theshonen8899]

goddamn and i thought i was youngest here at 15 >_<

Haha, I'm 15 too. The most expensive pairs of jeans I've bought as Levi's Matchsticks, which were on sale for $60 bucks

I don't think you understood my post.

Just figured I'd mention. If youre dropping that much money just make sure its for exactly what you want!

[netsleh1]

Wow, you're getting an early start on your new life as a denimaniac (a hopeless existence of living paycheck-to-paycheck, having more/better pants than anyone you know, and having 3 pairs of "favorite jeans"). Welcome. Wear them often and when you decide it's time for the first wash, wait 3 months.

[thegr8est333]

i'd reccomend APC's new standards. They can stretch if you get bigger. plus theyre kinda tapered so you can stack em' and if you grow the stacks will just unravel with your height. and you can spend the money you saved on some beer.

[Pandemonium]

you need to level up some more before you get the real denims.

+++rep for you for saving $20 bucks a week until u reached ur goal...lol i had to do the same thing..sucks being a member on sufu without a job...

anyways...i recommend buying from self edge...totals out to be 288 if i remember...

you can return em if you get the wrong size and they're great to work with

but starting out...i'd have to recommend apc new standards...its slim like the dukes but 150+ cheaper..i started out with a pair of sugarcane 47's from the supermarket for $100 then got a pair of dukes afterwards

...only reason why i bought the dukes was because of the levis lawsuit, wasn't really planning on purchasing it for awhile...if you really want the dukes though...fuking go for it!!

i was 15 5 months ago woooo

[sohoADDICT]

dam shoejuice, when i was your age i thought sean john and rockawear were the shit, and my most expensive clothing item was probably a $80 jersey lol

[shoejuice]

before this my most expensive peice of clothing were my dunks. bout 150. I didnt have anything more expensive cause I was saving up for this. Damn my dad's not here so I couldn't use his credit card last night. I have to wait till he comes back tonight so I can exchange my 288 dollars for his credit card. Argh nervousness is coming back again.

[Roflcopterpwnsyou]

Argh nervousness is coming back again.

I still think if you're that nervous just purchase something with a lower price point. Just to get acquainted with it and look around to see what you really like.

[Louis]

... just buy something you idiot

[zelah]

when i was 13 i didn't give a fuck about clothes, i skated and played videogames

because i was 13

[shoejuice]

My nervousness now comes from the fact that I wont get a good fade. I used to not care about clothes well cause I didnt have the money. Now I care and I still dont have the money. Eh, thats what I get for growing up with two sisters

[Dick Danger]

As long as you don't share underwear it's all good.

[neonlights]

hahaha yo man i'm 13 and 5"8 too hahahahahha

except i'm a 29-30

I'm 5'8. i am 31 around and i dont know my length.
