Just wanted someone to confirm for me, are Lindas sanforized? I'd like to order some raws for my girl but not if they are going to shrink over an inch in the waist. Do they stretch out more than an inch in the waist? I know my 5507s have stretched quite a bit...

Where does the discrepancy in measurements between the raw and one-wash Linda's (on the Fabfour site) come from? I'm guessing industrial tumble-dry to shrink?

Heres a little update on my GS, ive lost count on the wears but i havent worn them loads and they are coming a long really good, my previous pictures id only had them a couple of days. Ignore the socks lol.

[crissyw]

^

those are a good fit, just the stacking at the bottom seems a little excessive ?

[lorna]

I like it that way They havent been washed or anything yet so when they are im sure im gonna lose about an inch or something from the length, but i love stacking

[crissyw]

ohhh damn yeah i love girls who take the risk to stack! <3

STACKERS

STACK YOUR SHIT!

^

also would rep but must spread

[hollowsleather]

I have a pair of GS slims coming tomorrow for my lady. Hope she likes 'em.

yes! they are sanforized. they will stretch plenty, so if your girlfriend is between sizes, opt for the smaller size.

you are right about the size discrepancy. despite being sanforized, all cotton will shrink in its initial contact with hot water. if you were to order the raw version and hot wash/hot dry them 2 or 3 times, you will have a pair that measures very similarly to the one wash equivalent.

^Thanks a lot for the help enojy! I just tried to send an order through fabfour direct but with all the Japanese I can't work out if they will ship international. I've ordered direct from Hinoya and 2nd, but anyone ordered from fabfour before?

I found a pair of Academi's in a slim cut. I'd never heard of the brand before, but I liked the feel of the denim and the price was right for experimentation. I've been looking for a cut that was straight but higher rise than my Linda's and these fit those requirements.

(excuse the cuffing. I'm waiting to soak them and see how they shrink in length before deciding if I need to get them hem or just stack)

I think the butt part looks weird because the denim's still hard and crunchy, so hopefully it'll calm down after it gets more wear.

where did you cop?

[nakedsushi]

^ got them from American Rag. They also have the baggier cut (relaxed?) available. I think some people on sufu found them at UO onsale for pretty cheap though.

[crissyw]

ah yeah I thought it'd be UO.

Any girls here wearing Dior? :\ I'm looking to buy some on the cheapppz.

I think the super huge cuff looks cool like that. I think ever since seeing the stock photo of the fabfour girl wearing lindas with a huge cuff, I'm sold on the look.

[kino]

i tried dior, didnt really fit my body well

[crissyw]

^ which ones?

I'm looking into the 17.5cms but they're pretty pricey, hard to find in my size, and rare in general.

[kino]

i tried the 19cm mij raw. The 17.5 cms might work though!

[crissyw]

coooool when I get to NY that's probably going to be the first thing I look for.

I'm finally ready to pul the trigger on some Lindas. I'm having a horrible time with sizing though and can't try them on. I'm a size US 6/8. Any suggestions on what size I should try?

[nakedsushi]

For raw: If you're a 6, I'd go with a 3. If you're more of an 8 or have larger thighs, go with a 4.

When I was a 7, a 3 fit fine, but now that I'm more of an 8, I find that it's too snug in the waist and thigh.

take all of your measurements -- waist (i.e. hip area,) thigh, etc. try to match them up as best as possible to an appropriate size on the following chart, which is very accurate.

if you end up being between sizes, i would recommend going for the lower size if you're looking for a figure-wrapping fit (not tight.) my girlfriend ordered a pair that measured just under true to size, and they ended up stretching a bit beyond what she would prefer, mainly throughout the leg/thigh.

it seems as if you'd garner the best results getting a pair that initially fits tightly in the waistband. her pair required a belt from day one! however, everyone is shaped differently, and ultimately it's a crapes shoot when ordering a pair of jeans online. good luck!

what's the best denim for women available? Such as, on par with Dior's for men...?

Flat Head's Balder Slim Jean

PBJ Slim

I'd say it's those two if you're talking about the quality of the denim combined with cut.

[crissyw]

Awesome, I've already got the PBJs looks like I'm getting FH's next. They're still at SE right?

Waist measurements look pretty big..?

Any in store? I might stop by over the weekend.

[iGIT]

Balders are pretty nice. I just recently got some for my sister. We went true to waist and after 2-3 days stuffing the waist with all my text books, they now fit perfectly. Also the value of my textbooks went down because of all the indigo stains on the them

Yup, we've got them, come on in... They shrink 1.5" in the waist after a hot soak.
