did you get those 510s tapered, setone?

[lowrider]

My GF's Geishas - got them 20 mins ago. These Lot 10 are actually smaller than BiG's Lot 11. It's 1.5" smaller in the waist and 1" narrower in the back rise and thigh.

^ hey im kinda trying to get this friend of mine to cop the geishas, BIG sells the lot 11 now? and the measurements are correct on the website?

if not i would like to know how the tagged sizes compare to the measured waist size. but, if its like BIG's site i'll just look there. thanks

This pic is from the BiG site and not a stock Samurai photo so I assume that their current stock is Lot 11. I got my GF's new but from another SuFu member who I assume got them from 2nd (since their site shows pics of Lot 10 Geishas) and they have the red tab.

Can't really compare tag to measured size since tag sizes aren't in inches like men's jeans. I'd assume that BiG's sizing is dead on for their Lot 11 but the Lot 10 size 0 that we got measures smaller than BiG's Lot 11 size 0.

BiG only has size 3 though... They are expecting a new shipment in the next couple of weeks. I have a another female friend getting a pair and doing a denim dual with my GF. Have your friend get a pair and join in. We'll just have to end on different dates to keep the same duration of wear. We're not too far from you - Seattle.

Those fit your girl really well.

Nope. It's angle of the camera/pic.

Final fit pix after hot wash. I'm surprised by how much indigo they lost - Bottom pic. is most representative of color.

alright man lol sounds like a plan, she's just not use to spending that much on a pair of jeans. so i dont know how long it will take to convince her.

it's an easy sale. tell her that she'll have to wear the jeans everyday for at least a year and only hand wash them every month of two. that means a number of things:

1) her cost to usage ratio will be out of this world - great value for the money

2) she'll be saving lots of cash over the next year since she won't have to buy any other bottoms

3) she'll have very little to think about when it comes to dressing herself every morning

done deal.

My lady likes a bit more variety in her diet... when it comes to clothing that is... not men. She would never wear the same pair of jeans for a week straight, let alone for months on end.

haha true but really most girls will be like hell no!

my girl is a total no go on the whole wearing the same pair, never wash thing. She lets me do it and has no problem, but she basically thinks I'm out of my skull. Lowrider makes some good selling points, but the vast majority of women want no part of that shit. Jean fading is a mans game!!

[tralexander]

^^ ditto.

my girl likes picking out what to wear in the morning.

and the whole uncomfortable for a month thing is kind of a turn off for women who can spend that 200-300 on many or one pair of really comfortable jeans.

its a man's game

[rnrswitch]

I have used the price per wear argument many times with my lady when she gives me shit for $600 shoes and $300 jeans. I will spend a couple grand a year on clothes. Mainly about 2 pairs of jeans, some t-shirts, and a couple pairs of boots or shoes. She can blow about $5000 a year on the stuff she wears, but she won't be able to wear that stuff next year, because it is already unfashionable.

run and hide cuz beatle's gonna whoop your asses...

on a positive note, i guess i'm hella lucky to have a girl like mine! there are few other girls on sufu that are into jean fading. check out the raw for women thread.

It's not too hard to convert em...denim addiction is extremely contagious!

My gf and I have made a little game of pointing out the worst/tackiest denim (this is a great way to kill time when sitting in the airport).

Took a pic of my bk's before I left the farm today with my phone. They got beat today.

[lowrider]

christ. i just sit at a desk and go to meetings all day. no-fucking-wonder your jeans look amazing (esp. your XX-007).

[arjan]

Just wear them and the waist will stretch. I suppose you could cold soak them, stretch the waist with a hanger and hang dry them.

[deadlycrayon]

cooooool fit

[opethrapture]

Those are already looking really beat farmer!!

Stay tuned for Chapter III: Crossing the River!

[blm14]

lets hope yours dont tear as quickly as mine did. They're already getting their second repair...

He was referring to me.... I hate posting pics on the bottom of a page - no one looks

^I looked... <3

<3 you too!

[Baeyer-Drewson]

^I looked... <3

LOL@Subprime... Sup unfounded hostility?

[lowrider]

blm14 - I'd love to find out your exact break in process on these jeans starting from the moment you got them to how and how often you soak / wash them. I've had mine for a couple of weeks wearing every day with no issues what so ever.

stacks - fucking dope, glad you pulled the trigger on this crush - you have the fucking james bond edition shogun! i have a feeling you're going to have some separation anxiety when you hang these up before bed...

[lowrider]

stacks - what's the pair on the far left?

I've been wearing them only very lightly since I was determined to dent my S510XX AI-Ns. The Onis are mad slubby like the S5000 AI-10SPs, but white weft as you can see.

It's weird, I sized down a bunch on my S510XXs (not by choice, it was all that was left), and they have yet to need repairs (knock on wood). Then again, the most intense wear they get are at concerts.

I'll probably end up rotating all 3 of these after my S510s hit the year mark in August. Frankly,. this new pair is so dope I'd rather it not fade and last a long time. Like a fine wine, better to sip slowly than chug.
