Self Edge x Sugar Cane - SExSC06

[PeterParker]

These jeans do stretch out a lot. I should of sized down one.

FUCK YOUU.

.. your fit is perfect.

jackers, any recent fit pics? Fit looked pretty good last time I saw them.

Everyone who's saying they should have sized down, how did you originally size them?

I've got them TTS but not ready to wear them yet (no soak, still need to hem). Pretty sure that I'll get a good slim-straight fit. I actually prefer the looser fits that I've seen of these than the tight, "sized down" fits.

[jackers]

haha thanks solix

peter, no recent fit pics to lazy to take any. I went true to size on these the waist has stretched out a ton

[Markmont]

I got them tapered and hemmed and I love the fit now. I didn't get the ankle tapered enough, so it doesn't "stack" very well, but it still feels a lot better than it did out of the box.

I haven't even worn them a week yet and I LOVE EM. Great job on these kiya

Stopped by the tailor today to check on my jeans, the cut is lookin great, UNFORTUNATELY there was a miss-communication and the guy cut the selvage instead of the inner seem so bye bye selvage edge : /

If anyone is interested in a damn near new pair of sexsc06s sz.33 cut to 7.5 leg opening ( no selvage edge ), lemme know if your interested. I'll take low offers and even trades. If not, these are going to be my club and bboy jeans. Fit pics to come.

Oh man, I think I would have had a major fit. Good lesson in how important communication is, cannot be overestimated!

[WillKhitie]

Yeah, that's the second time around that a tailor's screwed up a perfect pair of denim. There's another case in the Imperial thread where something like thats happened as well.

Seriously turning me off to having the fit altered on mine.

[Markmont]

Naw, I'd still recommend it, just go to the right tailor heh. The fit is far far more desirable. Just send them to the denim doctors to do it. I had my size 33s tappered to a 7.5 leg opening.

--Markmont.

[jackers]

denim doctors tapers from inner seem?

[Markmont]

denim doctors tapers from inner seem?

Yes indeedy. I called them up to check after the fact.

--Markmont.

[Markmont]

SEXSC06

Sz. 33 tappered to 7.5 leg opening, 36 inseem

A world of difference, strongly reccomend ( just at the right tailor of course )

[grouse_allergy]

wait, i thought they tapered the inner seam? they lie???

[aho]

kiya must've been pisssssedddd

[Markmont]

kiya must've been pisssssedddd

Actually to the contrary. He said regardless, they are still selvage denim : P

Just to be clear, I was joking around as kiya has on more than one occasion expressed his belief in NOT tapering jeans...not referring to the selvage...but its all good and they do look great!

[grouse_allergy]

Did they at least chainstitch afterward?

[Markmont]

Naw.

[glimmertwins]

Why didn't you just leave the edge on and have a wider hem edge? I did that with a pair of LVC 55s and it's actually pretty cool in a bold kind of way. Not that it matters in the long run.

I have a pair of those and love that green line selvedge.

[Solix]

Great job on those, even though I'm personally against tapering. And all homo intended, but it looks like you've got the same problem in there being an excess amount of material in the crotch.

I'm actually fine with that part, any less material and I wouldn't be comfy - pants would be riding up too much and I'd be gettin' some undesired d*ck fades heh.

There was a miscommunication. I actually wanted him to tapper from the inner seam so as to not touch the selvage edge at all. If he did however leave the edge after tapering it on the selvage seam, it would have been a ton of fabric in there. But oh well.

[akuma no uta]

Forogt if I gave you rep for those badass sideburns mark... If not I will next time I'm on a real CPU

[jackers]

thats a great fit on you markmont

Yo Markmont....nice fit fer sure....so I'm thinkin of gettin my sexsc06's tapered @ denim doctors. I have a size 34 n i want a fit pretty dead on to urs in terms of tapering....All i gotta tell them is 7.5" leg opening from the knee down and don't touch the selvege right? anyone know if denim doctors will rechainstitch? let me know. thanks

[Markmont]

^^Thanks jackers, thanks akuma, rmc - since you've got a sz. 34, I'd probably go to a 7.8 leg opening. But it's all preference really. I just took a pair of jeans that sat on my sneakers really well and stacked well and used its leg opening as my model. You could also use some pins to mock-up what size you want the leg opening to be so you know EXACTLY what your getting. Since I didn't want the thighs to be any tighter, yes, I had the taylor taper from the knee down. Yes, denim doctors does do chainstitching. If you call them up, they will be more then glad to guide you through the process.

--Markmont.

[Solix]

Just a random bit, has anyone gotten nice roping on their pair? I've got none, maybe it's because I've hemmed them with a simple straight stich vs. a chain?

[stig]

Mine were hemmed and chainstitched by Atsui, and there's intense roping on the inside but none on the outside.

[WillKhitie]

Well, here's a tiny bit of contribution to this thread at last. Pretty uneventful post wash photos of my pair. Relatively worn on and off since they came out.

I figure I can attribute the lack of wear to the relatively "sit on your ass" all day lifestyle here in Manila. That and the relative looseness of the fit. Don't get me wrong though, their still an awesome pair of jeans none the less, just size em tight.

Back

Close up. See how hairy the denim is?

Post wash photos if the warrant it. I soaked mine with the hottest tap water I could get from the shower and then proceeded to scrub. I hope it shrinks to a fit that'd be a bit more flattering.

[youngluc]

really wish i had gotten a pair of these..

[grouse_allergy]

willkhitie is right, if you get a pair definitely size them tight. I'm trying to come to terms with the fact that my pair won't have awesome fades (due to being more relaxed, as well as a softer denim). But I love them just the way they are. They might end up having at the very least back pocket fades and some honeycombs.

[maenterus]

i bought a size 30 pair from someone.. my true waist is 31.

hope that they'll stretch to fit just nice (although now the seller said that the waist measures 29")

definitely looking forward to try them on. oh and nice evo will, slow but steady

[grouse_allergy]

post pics when you get them. my guess is they'll fit perfect. they stretch quite a bit, and all the hype about them being superslim is misleading imo.
