Warehouse Denim Contest [pics and discussion]

Spunkey, I actually think the stacking looks good on those. Before you get them hemmed, why don't you try wearing them around like that for a day or two and see how you like it?

[batorizer]

^^ what he said. don't hem 'em; they look nice with the stacking

i agree that stacking looks good on you but maybe take them up an inch or so. it might look more natural, imo ... .

[wild style]

Stacking is alright and shit, but that's just a little bit too much.

[MirrorLockUp]

I've never been a fan of stacking, but I'm also kind of short. I don't think having a bunch of extra fabric folding up at the bottom of my legs helps me. I feel like it makes me look like I'm borrowing a much taller person's pants. But I also think it looks better as the fabric softens up. Maybe I've just never given it a chance.

these jeans look good stacked actually. im 5'9" and i had mine hemmed to 33.5." maybe give these a try ... .

[tyson31]

FYI.

for those of you who have issues with the patch getting all fucked up when you dry, i put that neatsfoot oil on it and left over night to soak. the patch is much more pliable now. but it turns dark brown which i think looks better.

I'm really short too (5'4-5'5) and normally I'm not a fan of stacking because depending on the cut it'll just make me look shorter and stocker but I did stack a pair of slim jeans and I think it looks fine although it doesn't make me look taller either. I think for anyone around my height they shouldn't stack these pair. The legs are a little wider all the way through and I'd imagine the stacking will just emphasize your height. But for tall people where these jeans actually look pretty slim on them it'll look just fine. In the above picture I think just a couple inches less of stacking and it would look just as good as cuffing.

i'm about 5'11" and i wish i hadn't bought these in 36" length. stacking doesn't work well either because the denim softened so much after the 2 hot soaks and 2 hot dries... the hem is also too wide to keep them from dragging, but i guess that's because i wear low profile sneaks. i should get them hemmed and tapered :\

[Panda-san]

I'm 5'10" and I normally get my jeans hemmed to 31.5. I had these hemmed so they'd shrink to a 32, and I'm happy with the stacking on mine. IMO, it only works due to the small hem. My w38's ended up with a 8.5 inch hem, half an nich below what BiG's say they should be. If they'd only shrunk to 9, they probably wouldn't look as good.

Hi Ron, did you cut them? I cant imagine that they will shrink that much?

WOW www.irondenim.com

Im the same height and feel like im going to have to chop of more than half of the length below the knee.

[kapay]

This is my first pair of selvedge denim so I decided to cuff. I requested a 30 in. hem and it was a 31 3/4 in. presoak and a 29.5 postsoak. So that's like... 6 1/2 in. shorter than unhemmed. Yikes.

[kenthenoob]

....??? what?

why could you just get them hemmed after you shrunk them?

[kapay]

A lot of people requested to get them hemmed presoak. Also, I think the length is great right now. No complaints. I'll take pics tomorrow, hopefully.

[meta]

I feel you man, I definitely overhemmed my jeans. It pisses me off but I guess I will just go with a different style, zero stackage.

highwaters can actually look quite cool. (0)

[meta]

Yeah, it's it's own look. It's kind of funny though, when I am riding my bike sometimes my pant will get stuck on my bike crank arm due to it, it should make for some interesting wear.

[TFK]

And feel as if you have obtained maximum shrinkage, what is your inseam measuring?

[kapay]

Haha sorry, I just meant yikes as in, yikes that's really short by comparison to the original hem because the TopVillian said he would have to cut about half the length below the knee.

[Fabulaz]

still haven't received me jeenz.

sweet....

[tyson31]

Mine measured 35.5," but that was after 3 hot wash/dry's. I doubt that anybody will get anything lower than that. but they have since been hemmed to 33.5."

[kenthenoob]

cool number, guy.

[lilldavid]

Yeah and you dont stop, cause its 187 on an undercover cop

[ThugLife]

Wow, quoting Sublime playing with a quote from Snoop Dogg in a Dr. Dre song, then saying you hope we know it right after someone quotes the original in the thread. Postmodernism in action, folks.

[ThugLife]

i wasnt asking if they knew that it was sublime, i meant those were the guidelines of the contest, sarcastically.
