Warehouse Denim Contest [pics and discussion]

[Aquaphor]

Anybody body else's twisting as extreme as mine?? It looks like racing stripes on a car! I guess I can't wear these cuffed

[fndmybetterhalf]

why not? embrace the leg twisting...i perosnally like the leg twisting.

[dunkin deeznuts]

I thought about that aswell, sort of useless with how tight mine are though, but just for looks maybe. What suspenders are those btw? Look nice.

they are stronghold braces

awesome fit man...gotta say, seeing that piece by piece shirt really brings me back...

I got it for $5 on Bridge 9 a couple years ago. Probably the best $5 i've ever spent.

Another hot wash and dry definitely slimmed them down some more. They need to be sent out to Gordon for final hemming but I'm happy with them.

I'd recommend two good soaks/washes and drys before you get them hemmed. For me, they've turned from a loose fit to one that is very similiar to a sized down 2 APC NS fit.

#107 checking in. I went true to size, so I put them in the washer and dryer under the "whites" setting, hopefully they shrink a bit. I'm looking for a pretty "normal" fit, not slim but not relaxed either.

Denim #156 has been sold to Spunkey. I really wish I could participate in this:mad: but my jeans were way to big. Good luck everyone!

Alright, one quick question...

I just brought these things out of the dryer, and there are tons of little "wrinkles" in it. Little creases and wrinkles that are annoying the shit out of me. Do they go away with wear?

XD. Thanks for the heads-up. ...

I've got a left-leg leg-twist going on right now and if it weren't for the fact that my jeans are too long to wear them uncuffed, I wouldn't be bothered by it. Is this caused by the drying of the jeans I'm assuming in a tumble dry?

The leg twist is just a characteristic of the denim when it shrinks.

[Fookums]

Too late to wash + dry em now so I'll do it sometime tomorrow + pics.

more complicated than that. has to do with the amount of hand pressure of the person that is sewing the fabric together and such that when shrunk, the leg twists. not sure the exact details of why and how it happens but i know it has somethign to do with the person sewing the denim together.

[Dex_star]

its the weave of the denim that makes it twists

por ejemplo... rht twists right... lht twists let... broken twill no twist

ya dig???

[fndmybetterhalf]

ooooo ok so i was completely off haha.

[fre-co]

Dex_star is right, as is Billiamphan. This is a characteristic of Raw denim shrinkage. Wear them cuffed and show off your leg twist! It's something to be proud of.... one of the wabi-sabi elements of unsanforized raw denim.

[john11f]

ah... Wabi-sabi... It's what make jeans alluring - to find beauty in imperfection.

[cmo]

Just got mine this minute......... Number 200. Last but not least. Going to bung em in the wash and see how they turn out.
