How to avoid knee bulging?

[jdniii]

I am looking into getting a new pair of tight raw denim. The problem I have had with my past pair (levi, yeah I know) was the knees got quite baggy and I really hate that look. I have been checking out pictures of many different brands, and the only denim that doesnt seem to do this after wear is dior and samarai. Any cheaper brands that seem to stay tight in the knees? Thanks!

ALL tight jeans will bag at the knees. Your best bet is the find jeans that contain stretch, which slows the bagging down a bit.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

if the jeans are cotton and you bend your knees there will be knee bulge

i am wearing sams now and the knees are bulging

[jdniii]

so it's impossible? Maybe taking them into a tailor?

[denimdestroyedmylife]

to cut off the legs below the knee?

cure is worse than the ailment

[denimdestroyedmylife]

a quick soak will shrink them back into shape

[PG2G]

Do a search. Some people spray water on the knees to shrink that area. There are probably other techniques too.

That said, the more knee bulge, the better the holy cows

You are kidding right? Everyone knows in order to keep the bulges away, you walk around in crutches. Some people use a wheelchair with the leg elevator.

I definitely seen jeans which don't have knee bulges after many wears, they are usually in Japanese fashion mags. I think another trick may be to have stacking in the knees.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

well if the jeans are looser in the knee area there will be less tension and thus less bulge

[netsleh1]

I think stacking (near the shoe) makes it worse. Specifically, it pushes the fabric up a little and makes the bulge stick out more (as opposed to cuffing/hemming, which seems to make it drape better).

p.s. A tailor.....wtf?

Tight ass jeans = knee bulge. Chicks dig em.

Walk like a penguin, or rather, w/o bending your knees.

Seriously I think its utterly impossible to avoid those buldges.

I had a dior raw some time ago and after only like a few days of continueous wear, the buldges started coming.

How can you tell how many times the jeans have been worn from the picture in magazine?

Knee bulging is cool.

[-questionmark-]

spray the knees with water then turn em inside out and iron them. although you will have to do it like every week or so.

if they bother you that much then just get some jeans made with stretch denim. i know apc has jeans made with stretch denim but i dont know which cuts are available.

[jdniii]

Thanks for the stretch suggestion, I'll look for new cures in a stretch.

[jdniii]

you can tell how many times raw denim has been worn in mags.

Learn to love the knee bulge. It kind of goes away after a long time when your denim softens and sort of flops over itself.

[soundbomber]

Hot water.

Thread's over.

Exactly mang. Get your knees done.

[Lucas0607]

Um, if you want honeycombs, then you gotta have the bulge.

It's part of it. just learn to love it or maybe get stretch denim.

so there would really be no way to tailor this? it really looks retarded on my favorite pair, everything else fits *perfect* except the knees =/

for your own sake i don't think anyone's gonna be like "heyyy those are really sick jeans, but your knees are really fucked up, yo"

think about it this way

if you tailored it, your jeans would look more retarded later on

then there's gonna be that one time you need to run somewhere, and your jeans rip because your knees can't bend

[panikEpenguin]

just rip off your knee caps like muffin tops...top of the muffin TO YOU!

my crates have slight knee bulge that slopes into the lower half of the jean so it's not too bad. plus crates are cheap.

it's just annoying that's all. besides, whoever really cared about a little knee rip?

i wonder if it will shrink/get better after the first wash. these are still very new

[>++fishb0neR]

oh i understand, heh..

my legs are pretty thick, so when i'm wearing jeans with a taper or slimmer leg opening my knees bulge quite a bit

after the jeans soften up (a few washes) they should fall properly
