Warehouse Denim Contest [pics and discussion]

hey miz i think hes a paperboy

[RobZ]

everything boxed... ready to ship. these are the last of them kids...

That is beautiful.

[apocalypse later]

I think I'm going to get these things hemmed or tapered a bit--they don't fall well on my shoes. But I love the fit of the top block and the thighs are perfect for what I wear. I'm more into the normal but slightly slim fits, I don't really go for the SuFu fit. So I went true to size, hot washed and hot dried them. They also have some weird creases in them still, but I had this same thing going on with my Skulls when I first washed+dried them, so I know they go away soon.

I apologize in advance for the dorm pics. I usually have to wait until later at night when campus dies down a bit because I hate taking WAYWT/Fit pics in front of people.

personally like the way they look right now...agreed on tapering it a bit though...BIG measurements say 7.5" leg opening but mines measuring at slightly over 8" after a hot wash/dry + hot soak

[mizanation]

the leg opening shrinks after a couple soak/dry cycles.

I received mine in Vancouver without any additional charges - is it because you are so small?

[destructodisk]

HAHA you got SONNED, son.

[poly800rock]

probably because it was addressed to DIAMONDS

Couriers are evil--never use them to ship across the border. My USPS charges were only $12, mostly the $8 "handling" fee.

Forgot to measure pre-soak, but post-soak + a day of normal wear:

Waist: 32"

Front Rise: 10"

Back Rise: 14.5"

Upper Thigh: 10.5"

Knee: 8.25"

Leg Opening: 7.5"

Inseam: 33" (Though I asked for a 34" post-soak, it's fine)

Now for pics:

Starting..

Then a hot wash + dryer...:

Close Back:

P.S.: The "close front" pic is the best representation of the color.

fookum, is that tagged size 29? i cant seem to get my leg opening to shrink up to 7.5 from 8" after a hot wash/dry + 2nd hot soak

[Fookums]

Yeah, tagged 29.

The shrinkage seems all over the place.. I haven't looked that closely at the other people with 29s, but are most leg openings larger than 7.5"?

'cause i'd only get 'em tapered if I was sure they wouldn't shrink more.

Oh and to Apocalypse Later: It might just be falling weirdly on your shoes cause the denim's still a bit stiff. I'd wait a bit to see if it's cause of the leg opening or from the denim.

[fndmybetterhalf]

well after the initial hot wash/dry, my leg opening shrunk down to 8" so i figured a second hot soak will take care of that and take it down to about 7.5" but at most, its at about 7.8-8" right now...thinking about tapering it maybe half a inch or so...

[Fookums]

Huh, well, it's not exactly 7.5, more like, 7.6, but the .1" is pretty neglible. Hm, I guess you could get it tapered, but if it's not too bad I'd probably stick with it at least until another wash. You can always wash it more, but once you taper it, it's tapered (Unless you don't mind it shrinking more after you taper it)

10.5" measured like BiG? Cause it says 11.25 on the chart there, I sure hope mine don't shrink that small in the thigh

[Fookums]

Yeah, I was surprised also, cause the other measurements seemed kinda close.

But it seems that the shrinking measurements are all over the place. I think I'll go measure again to check that one..

EDIT: Made a mistake when measuring, it's about 11"

[chantheman]

It took 2 days to get to Hawaii since they sent everything 2nd day air. At least in the US.

5 days for me

looks like mine was sent ground too. wont get them till friday. hoping to get them before I leave for Wisconsin friday and get some midwest wear on them, guess thats not happening. Sorahikos it is then

[kert]

i measured 11.5 pre soak and 11.25 post soak. i went from the crotch parallel with the waist band. same way big does it.

[mrjuby]

got #181 on friday but i realized that i could size down from a 29 to a 27 so i called big and they said i could trade it in. the waiting game begins again.

[apocalypse later]

Forgive my denim newbiness, but I don't understand why so many people's denim is stacking so nicely and mine looks awful. It is all about the leg opening? Do I need to get them tapered?

[holotekor]

got mine on oct. 30th at the store. #85.

[Fookums]

^^

Apocalypse: yours look like they stack fine. I cuffed mine cause they stacked kinda weirdly also, but I think it's due more to the stiffness of the denim than anything right now.

[ThugLife]

got my email!

Oh for rallz? mine stack better than any of my other pairs do.
