The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

[tweeds]

lovely jeans. real tight!

[headtowall]

Ha, yeah. For a second I thought that was a comment about the jeans being tight and was like "jeez, that's harsh and sort of weird," but then I remembered that the cat happened to be in the pic.

In regards to the size, they're a 30. I'm considering unwashed Okinawas for my next pair, and am wondering what size to get. I'd want them slightly looser. Any advice, experts?

of course they make them, but do they sell them raw is the question...

Using chain stitch, your train of jeans is fading wind.

i can assure you that if you buy any pair of jeans in the world they will not be as tight as those. unless you go for a mix of lycra/cotton

Stand tall or don't stand at all

poly800rock and ddml, excuse my newbiness but SC40301N should be unwashed and for sale right..? I saw them on History Preservation. I'm actually thinking about getting a pair of them too.

yeah, looks like they do have them unwashed. I'm basing my assumption on what i saw in Tokyo a few weeks ago...but then again, i didnt buy the blue ones. But the question is, what's the advantage of unwashed vs 1 wash as the shrinking is already finished for you in 1 wash.

some people don't trust factories with the first wash

also, if you get them raw, soaking with them in the tub whilst wearing guarantees a perfect glove-like fit as the jeans won't shrink smaller than your person

and some purists don't intend to ever wash and want to keep the jeans as close to loomstate as possible---thus raw

Thanks, Tragic. I made my bed just for this little shoot. I live in a loft in an old factory building in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

It was a raw space when I moved in and part of what got my jeans worn so nicely was building walls to convert the loft into a 3 bedroom.

Word? I live in Bushwick too.

"what's the advantage of unwashed vs 1 wash as the shrinking is already finished for you in 1 wash."

I like unwashed because it gives me a little more control in sizing as odd as it sounds. I can always shrink more with a hot wash, shrink minimally with a cold soak, etc... And I do like the way the raw looks, even though it may not last long.

[poly800rock]

from my perspective, 1 wash is always better simply because no jeans length ever fit and I like to get hemming out of the way asap...just my 2 cents

^ so why not just soak and dry once to get the shrinking over and done with , and then hem to your taste ...

doesn't seem very hard at all

[cheapmuthafukr]

here are pics of some double rl jeans i bought, and altered to fit. they were very baggy, huge rise. think evisu worn oversized, and they fit my waist. they fit much better now. i took the rise up about 2", which brought the leg to at least 38" and makes for great bunching at the bottom. made the legs fit slim but not tight.

i need to stop sliding on my ass when i skate. these are less than 5 days old and the wallet is fading.

[Chicken]

sweet. i think you're taking cheapness to a whole new different level.

[cheapmuthafukr]

well... i would rather pay 25$ and spend an hour at the sewing machine and have a perfect fit than spend a ton of money for a perfect fit. and the denim on these is beautiful. japanese selvage, made in the usa, blah blah blah....

[Chicken]

cheapness be an art, boy! your double rl kind of looks like dior to me now. i like it.

[cheapmuthafukr]

yeah... kinda what i was going for. only hedi didnt cut these, i did. so well call them CMF homme. now i just need some cool logo to put on them. maybe a monkey head. no one has done that before right?

[Chicken]

next thing, cmf homme is up on eBay as a fake bape going for $200...

[cheapmuthafukr]

better be more than 200... im sure these are nicer than any bape out there.

[Airdrian23]

Dam headtowall after that warm bath those are sick fit.

[almondcrush]

that's some ill tailoring cmf

i'm considering some leg tapering surgery but i'm scared to risk losing the patient
