If I remember correctly the wifey does not share your addiction or fascination with raw denim....

[denimdestroyedmylife]

i finally convinced her to pick up a pair of APC raws a couple weeks ago

so i have had a small victory

[Chicken]

You mean the original cafe racer jacket ? You got to be kidding...

if you're thinking of bucos, yeah i have to be kidding. but they are brooks -- they aren't bad and are worth something, but nothing crazy like a buco or a langlitz.

^ Neg Rep!

evisu 2000 32w 35l raw.

hmm.... these could lose an inch in the waist and work... but they will probably shrink more than that. i think we should be able to do it tho with a bit of discomfort for a day or two.

[mizanation]

hmm. 32 waist? i was thinking 31 might be better, how's the fit in the waist?

tg, we will miss you at the party. i will drink copious amounts of alcoholic liquids on your behalf.

[cheep]

fit at the waist is good... but they are raw so it will be tight after a wash.

also, gordon offered to give us a tour of the garment factory he works in... old school union run. im down.

[mizanation]

so are we going with the 32? i think i tried that same pair on at BiG.

[cheep]

i thought they smelled funny.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

IIIIIIIIIIIICEburn!

[mizanation]

ouch!

.......

[cheep]

but yeah... these are really nice... i dont want to give them back.

[tweeds]

gordon works at a garment factory? :confused:

[cheep]

yeah.. thats his day job.

[Chicken]

prewash, you're looking like a guy from hinoya. he he.

shit, could shrink the crap out that one for us to wear it.

tg -- we need to start buying you some lottery tickets.

[dave023]

Maybe a stupid question, but aren't there supposed to be some gulls on those jeans??

[cheep]

prewash, you're looking like a guy from hinoya. he he.

shit, could shrink the crap out that one for us to wear it.

tg -- we need to start buying you some lottery tickets.

the waist is the thing tho... it will be tight as shit after the wash i think.

[Chicken]

hmm, might have to do the ol' wear them wet until it's dry technique.

at any rate, i could easily pull of an anti-fit for a month.

[cheep]

yeah, i am gonna love wearing these. i really dont want to give this pair back, but i think i have to.

[cheep]

ok... these will have a 29.5 inch waist after shrinkage... can everyone work with that or should we go up to a 33?

[denimdestroyedmylife]

29.5 is perfect

[beatle]

Ouch..maybe I'm the only fatso...but I'm down for 1 size up - maybe it's the female hip thing - there's really no fat but bones - and they measure 31 if I put a waistband around ...

Damn you , DDML for your tiny bones ..

Judging by the fit pic these will shrink a lot in the ass area..

It's really up to you , Cheep , I was hoping you could soak them end find out about the waist shrinkage...

Anyway - those will be beautiful...

[cheep]

i think if we size up the legs will be too full... the waist is just small on them. i also think that after a little bit of wear there wont really be a problem.

your womanly hips should be fine if you wear these a little higher.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

they will be all stretched out by the time you get them beatle.

i wear my jeans low. i stretch jeans out to 32" without fail.

[Chicken]

i measure at 31, too, beats. so no worries. we'll all stretch the hell out of it.

[beatle]

Good ..if all else fails I'll take a sainchaw and cut these motherfuckers open in the waist and glue them with that miracle stuff...

[cheep]

i think up 1 may be good for us... ill tell gordon to make the project jeans 33... should end up 30.5 after shrinkage.

[beatle]

i are sad.

i cant even afford to stowaway on a leaky raft to ny.

one day ... one day ... sigh

Keep checking ..sometimes New York comes up lat minute - especially if you are in London right now...I need some female support..these guys are gonna get me waisted..

[denimdestroyedmylife]

unacceptable, cheep.

did you not read my post?

[cheep]

i did, but i also think these will be wasshed regulalry... at least once a month. they shrink alot... i think for everyones comfort, you will have to deal with it doody
