2009 Superfuture Conest - Dry Bones

[PG2G]

I took a fit pic of mine. Size 32, which is what I buy in pretty much every brand

[dkatz]

looks sharp, PG2G.

['lejandro]

PG2G, height and weight?]

[PG2G]

Thanks. I'm 6 foot, around 170 pounds.

For reference, I went 31 in the WHxSUFU660 though I typically go 32 in everything else.

well, what happens if he throws them in the washing machine after a few months? won't they shrink too much then?

As long as he never washes with hot water, it will be fine.

i usually read that you should shrink unsanforized denim as much as possible right from the start, so what is the way to go?

It really depends on how it fits before you soak unsanforized denim. Sometimes you miscalculate and it ends up fitting pretty damn good pre-soak. In that case, when it comes time for a wash you just use cold water and don't bother getting max. shrinkage

You only do max shrinkage if it will stretch out to your desired waist size eventually.

PG2G,

Granted i can't see your entire body in that photo but you seriously look an entire foot taller in person, maybe more.

Hey guys just got my sz31s in today. Denim is something else . Sorry for crappy phone pics but was too excited to find a camera.

Pre-soak pictures:

Quite pleased with the fit, was pretty much what I was going for. Whats dyou guys think? Going to soak them soon so ill post presoak and post soak measurements up soon. Special thanks to kiya for sizing advice.

I would wear them a little higher than you are right now, looks not good imo.

[PG2G]

Kiya, I was actually thinking that pic makes me look much shorter too. Not too sure why. Maybe I have funky lower body proportions I'll grab a full body shot soon.

i swear i'm not sarcastically asking this... but i've become so accustomed to slim and/or tapered jeans for the past five years, i've forgotten how to wear straight leg cuts with such a large leg opening. what do i do with these, man?! little pinroll? tuck them into the shoes? junior high style scissor-off-the-hem? aside from tapering, since i can't find any local tailors that aren't totally lazy and refuse to do an inseam taper.

Just got my size 28s in the mail (5"8 about 130 lbs). Fit is better than I expected. Whats the easiest/proper way to sew on the tab if you were to put it on the back pocket?

[enojy]

WHAT TAB?!?!?!?! i don't know what you're tal

[Mekkah]

Here comes the post-soak pics.

[bustinxjustin]

I'm loving the flood of pictures in this thread.

So what has everybody been doing here as far as size goes? Are you getting the same tagged size you wear in other jeans or one up or down?

Im a 34 in IH 634s, 34's in Flat Head F380 and I went with a 33 here. Waist isn't the problem, they're a little tight in the thighs. Might try a 34, but according to the chart it's the same size thigh.

[JohnnyRed]

I got a size down from what I wear in sammies.

31 in s5000vx

30 in APC NS (which fit a little big now)

30 in these beauties

[milosz]

Got my hemmed 36s in the mail today, but I may have to put them up for sale - love everything about the jeans except for the rise. There's no way to get them safely above plumber's crack range without copious amounts of man-toe.

I was a 32 in APC NS which stretched out to about a 35. The thighs were bigger in those.

Yeah I mean, if I could go back I would have got a 29 in the APC. So for me personally, I'd recommend going up one from APC

yea i didnt get a redtab either

whats the deal with that?

never felt so left out before in my life

[echau]

Hope this helps those looking at size 33...

Pre-soak measurements for size 33 hemmed to 36 inseam:

Waist: 36

Inseam: 36

Thigh: 12

Leg Opening: 8.75

Rise: 10

I'll soak tonight and put up the post-soak measurements.

[enojy]

got used to the rise. keeping my pair :-) officially started wearing 3/13/09.

i guess everybody who owns a red-d should be fine with the rise, its almost identical.

good to hear you are staying in the contest, enjoy.

i am still debating which size to pick, but based on how the red-d fits me i am leaning for a 34 (size down - wear a 35 to 36 in everything else except the red-d)

You have much to learn.

Not exactly... I own the Red-D, and since putting the SExDB on twice (i've been staring at it sitting on my futon for a week now), it is pretty low relative to the Red-D.

^^^^

well ive never ownd a db before but im assuming our rep bar took the tabs place.

ordering true size was a mistake, should have sized down one~

i hangd dried after a hot soak... but im trying to get them to shrink a little more so i just cold soaked for 15 and put em in the dryer on high heat..

i figure even if they dont shrink more and they will expand out again.. it's not that bad.. i can just wear with a belt..

agreed, i could've gotten away with sizing down one. the waist on mine is entirely loose, but i always wear a belt with my jeans, so it's a non-issue. using the dryer will definitely gain you a bit more shrinkage, especially in the waist.

sizing down one would've given me an even lower rise, though... that's something i don't need! 9.7" -> 9.2" :-O
