Dior Homme Denim

[Gavroche]

Here's a possibly tough question: were the SEXI04s exact replicas of the DH19cm? Was the sizing the same?

The reason I ask is that I own 21cm Diors in 30 and they fit great after stretching, even a little relaxed in the waist. I have sz 30 SEXI04's and they're horribly tight at the waist. I just got a sz 30 in 19cms b/c they were cheap, and I'm hoping that the difference is the stretching quality of the denim.

Can anyone who has owned both help me out?

Are these the ones you had altered?

I'm pretty sure all these 19cm cuts are "inspired" 19cm cuts.

So they aren't going to be identical if that is your question.

I think...

Yeah, those new RJBs are "19cm cut" but the measurements don't match up and the RJBs seem to taper more from the knee down than dior 19cms

[Gavroche]

Thanks Panda and Elysium, that was my question.

I second jjkchung's request: I'm always casually looking for a good faded example of the DH bks. Is there an iconic shot for the blacks much like we have that original one from Tragic Bliss for the indigos?

Just got a pair of 19cm mij indigo raws, was wondering did anyone else have loose threads behind their belt loops? Behind several of the belt loops (the inside portion where your belt actually touches) where the loop is stitched onto the jeans on the pair i got have some loose cotton threads, and was just wondering if this was normal or if i got a lemon?

never had any problem with any of my diors

Are there different versions of Jake jeans? Like UMC are different from each year?

No, they were only made once.

As far as the ref tag being moved, that must be new.

[dhaddict 82]

yea jakes are only fall 2007, but i once tried on 17.5 cm jeans that looked almost like the jakes at a dior outlet, they were spring 2008, and 100% cotton, unlike the jakes which have stretch. should've ask, but any ideas?

[Deiv]

Need opinions, should I hem or not?

[xh0llyw00dxx]

Keep they look good

[milanestar]

I think it's look good. keep it bro.

[RyanF]

looks gewd to me

[vjiforlife]

good fit indeed. now, just find me a pair of black mij 19cm's please.

[dhaddict 82]

no need to hem, looks good

[ally fu]

I got a pair of 28 waist MIJ Black Raw 19cm. They're FAR to tight in the thigh (bruising my hips) and even after a week of wear they don't feel like they've loosened any. Should I persevere or swap for MII 29/30's?

[Cubzor]

unless you are 1 meter high, i dont understand why pple hem diors

i guess everyone does as he wants, but the stack is parth of the jeans

[dhaddict 82]

i agree with Cubzor, one of the reasons people buy diors is for the great stacking,

[GreenFrog]

Would I lose the creases on my honeycombs, stacking, and whiskers if I put my jeans into a wash?

I bought these in December and they probably have 3-4 months of wear into them, but there's no noticeable fading, especially in the honeycombs. In sunlight, you can see some fades in the whiskers and kneecap region, but other than that, these are taking FOREVER to fade.

Should I just wait it out as long as possible until I wash?

[teardrop explodes]

A lot of your fades will be more noticeable after your first wash. Unless for some reason they need a wash though, I'd hold out. I also got mine in December. I don't think I'll wash mine till at least the end of the year. Mine are black though

[GreenFrog]

Wow.

One whole year without a wash? damn. I guess my nerves are getting the best of me and I just want awesome jeans asap.

My jeans don't smell at all; there are no major stains, so i really have no good reason to wash them, other than the curiosity I have over how they would turn out after washing them.

I guess I'll hold out too. fuck!

[shark jacobs]

washing won't give you sick fades if you don't already have sick fades

it will quite literally fade your jeans in the sense that they will noticeably lighten colour all over, especially if its your first wash

but i assume that what you want are contrasts fades, creases and rubbed areas

once you already have visible fading on your thighs, ass, assorted creases, then washing will increase the contrast of those, but until you actually have visible fades a wash won't do what you want.
