I would guess 32 would be right but I can throw some measurements up when I get home if you want.

[snuff_daddy]

^ya please do, noticing any stretch?

[snuff_daddy]

i just called N&F since their email was down, talked to the owner/designer

he seems real nice...couldnt give me an accurate size to get since he doesnt own a pair of APC NS

[freestyl]

He's mentioned to me before to size down 1 on N&F though. Did he mention the same to you?

[snuff_daddy]

na he didnt tell me anything about sizing down or up

can i order the N&F denim direct by calling the N&F guys? I'm staying in Singapore and I can't find any websites that stock the Weird Guys Grey selvedge in size 29..

[mmm]

I just measured my size 30 greys again

waist: 33

rise:9.75

hem: 7.25

knee: 8

they stretched out about 1 size in the first hour of wear but havent stretched anymore. I would say to size down 1 from your normal size for the greys and true to size for the silks.

oieja message me, I think Maybe I can help you.

[iralex]

i just sized down two but that's for slimgirl and i want them tight

[scotty2]

Just finished drying after an initial soak.

Weird Guys Deep indigo

As you can see, theyre pretty tight

[.sm.]

^^

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

[Stylish Pilot]

why did you soak those?

[Johnnylazar]

thinking the same thing

[scotty2]

I soaked them to get rid of the starch and that is it.

[原料かば]

did the tightness make your knees buckle?

[PeterParker]

I soaked them to get rid of the starch and that is it.

From my experience the 15oz Deep Indigo denim actually does shrink after a soak, although I soaked mine after wearing them for a couple of months. They definitely shrunk past the original dimensions though.

The soak also got rid of some of the excess indigo, which was a good thing because these things are overdyed and bleed like a motherfucker - also helped to get the fades going faster. For these reasons, my recommendation IS to soak the Deep Indigo denim prior to wearing.

However, soaking them isn't going to get much of the starch out. Mine were stiff as new after the soak, if not stiffer due to the shrinkage. Felt like wrapping cardboard around my legs, and it felt awesome.

did the tightness make your knees buckle?

+1. Sorry dude, but you got some fucked up knees.

[Hendodo]

^^ a buddy of mine soaked some of his Deep indigo weird guys b4. After they dried, they had this weird starch mark near the back of the knee. he had do wash it off...

[jaychiz]

I soaked them to get rid of the starch and that is it.

is denim stiff because of startching or the quality of denim?

[bradl]

Starch, and the thickness would have something to do with it as well.

[scotty2]

did the tightness make your knees buckle?

Ya a little bit.

[dellji]

just got some indigo selvage weird guys, they arent nearly as starchy as i was expecting. Both my apcs and pbjs were MUCh starcher in comparison.

Hey Guys,

I'm looking at a pair of either the APC PS, or the Naked & Famous Skinny Guy in Natural Indigo Revival. I've tried on both in person and they fit pretty similarly, but the Skinny Guys look lighter and I'm wondering how they will fade. I've heard that Natural Indigo takes a little more to knock off, but rope dying alleviates some of this (Naked & Famous claim to do something called "long chain" dying, is this the same?) I'm also wondering if the N&F will stretch as much as APC. I'm looking for some fairly quick, defined fades, as this will be my first pair of decent raw denim. I haven't seen any faded examples up here, so even if people have predictions it would be appreciated. Another thing to keep in mind is that, since I live Canada, the APCs are $50 more. With that in mind, which should I choose? I know this is the Naked and Famous thread, so your recommendations might be a little bit biased, but I am more here to find out about the fading properties.

Thanks

[jaychiz]

i personally go for the made in canada, being canadian and all
