[wild_whiskey]

Haha, no you made my day.

The Nudies are RR Dry Selvege (didn't say anything about greycast, but look really grey). I got them from Fos5.com. Those people are seriously great. Ordered on monday, 199.00 shipped, got them today, and love them. The APC's are Rescues, as Geowu and Brian stated earlier, and I am glad someone like my shoddy job on the bootcut!

[superposition]

Wow you paid 199? The price is $265 now. Damn... .

[high_contrast]

wow that's pretty shitty they raised the prices. just this morning they were still $199

[high_contrast]

what do you guys think of the rr authentic selvage deluxe? i don't think i can handle a dry denim project and the deluxe wash is pretty sick. about the same price, 265?

[YoungPunch]

Hey Chad,

Did Fos5 ship your RR dry selvage with the box they come in?

[griffin]

Nice photo essay, Chad.

I have a 2 year old pair of authentic deluxe. They come out of the factory with a high level of contrast, but it's only become more and more pronounced over the years.

I like my dry selvage and this other, lighter wash (which they don't make anymore) the most. Otherwise, authentic deluxe is probably my favorite of the current washes, and I still wear them all the time. There's a reason why it's been a part of their line this long.

I ordered the same pair of Nudie RR Dry Selvage (199.99) and they didn't come in any special package/box. It was just the jeans in a USPS box.

okay, thanks for the info.

It sounds like you lucked out dude, You ordered your jeans before they raised the price....

[Geowu]

Volls.de possibly has them for less than $265.

[FRESH]

APC 1 year, 1 wash

fresh

[Teddy Boy Rocker]

wow, just yesterday the RR dry selv was $199, now they are the same price as retail stores ($265).....you snooze you lose.

i was wondering why the price on dry bootcut ola was a little bit higher than a couple days ago (149 up to 155)

[Geowu]

FRESH, they look great! when was the wash?

Fuck! Look at all this jean porn! I'm in love with your jeans FRESH.

Nice shit too ChadR.

[Serge d Nimes]

Yeah fresh, those look fricken awesome! Did you wash them in some hardcore detergent? I have washed mine 2 X in 6 months in Woolite black in hot water with no scrubbing and my are a lot darker. Mine really need a wash, but I am going to resist a little longer. I hope to get a fade like that!

Yeah Serge, I really like how his jeans came out to be a nice shade of blue. I'm working on my APCs right now, thanks to the advice from you and others on this board. I hope mine turn out like that.

Thanks. I actually just washed them in the bathtub with a bar of soap no scrubb at all and hang dry. I cheated a little bit when I started to get sharp whiskers, I exagerated the effects by lightly sanding it with sand paper and rubbing some wax in the creases and rubbing them shits into the carpet sloppy style. I also used sand paper around the back pockets with my wallet inside to create sihloette. i suck at spelling.

fresh

[FRESH]

strangly, they dont really smell that bad after 1 year and 1 wash iether? O yeah, I also left them in the sun on my balcany outside for a while.

Does anyone know if its possible to go to a factory and try to buy shit of the employees? for example, Im flying out to Macuao tommarow and I know APC are made from there. I wonder how hard it would be to find the factory and try to swoop up a couple pairs extra cheap? anyone know anything?

[Geowu]

Yeah, but they got no stores in Macau. I figure if they did it would be cheaper.

[nkwu]

^find the factory addresss/subcontracter address and just appraoch the employees randomly....

But, I've always wondered, how's your wallet looking? all stained?

ChadR, I noticed that ur APC Rescues are size 29. What size did you get for ur RR dry selvage? Or does anyone else know a good equivalent to an APC size 29 when its unstretched?

[super]

In my experience, Nudies seem to be true to size so there is no "size guessing" involved.

[ChadR]

I got a 31. Same fit pretty much, but they are cut a lilttle looser in general. I have muscular thighs.
