Selvadge Denim & Fit : Search Has Too Many Results

[Nobody]

Hi All,

I'm looking for a pair of dry selvage denim that fit slighty loose in the leg with a little bit of a bootcut.

Does Levis make a jean like this? The cut of some WE jeans I like, but they're all artificially "worn" and the denim seems cheap...

Put it this way, I've been wearing APC Rescues and i think the bootcut is too subtle so I want to switch it up.

I've used the search function here, but there is way too much information to wade through so I'm hoping one of you just might have a few suggestions. I'm not too fussed about price, but I'm smitten by top-quality.

Thanks for the help,

Nobody

sounds exactly like a pair of Nudie RRDS (Regular Ralf Dry Selvage)

[ringring]

Bootcut & Selvedge aren't natural bedfellows, as the selvedge outseam necessitates a straight seam.

But I'd echo the suggestion above. Nudie Reg Ralphs.

Thanks Ardeetee!

I'll look into them ASAP.

Any of you other dudes want to weigh in on this?

Happy Thanksgiving!

They are loose and I swear they bias towards a bootcut.

Okay, then!

How much do the Nudies Regular Raif Dry Selvage go for?

And lastly, does Levis make a jean like this, or is that just way off the mark?

I'm just not too jazzed on the super-heavy back-pocket stitching but I'll live with it if the cut is great.

Again, thanks.

You can take a seam ripper to the back pocket and remove the stitching when it's brand new. There won't be much of a shadow (if any at all).

levis doesnt make a dry selvage jean to the loose bootcut fit of the RRDS.

they go for 265 usd

i got mine back in march for only 220 but the price has steadily increased since then, and they wil be pushing 300 soon.

chwa?

[LIVENUDEGIRLS]

RRL makes a selvage bootcut that you'll likely only find on Ebay. They are not dry though.

honey, you're my religion

Checked the Nudie Raifs today, and the cut seems just like what I was after. they didn't have them in dry selvage, but I can order them. My question is in relation to Wild_Whiskey's comment:

Can I really take out the back pocket seam without leaving a mark? Has anyone done this successfully, and better still, does anyone have a picture of it?

Seems like it would work, but I'm a little apprehensive spending nearly $300 on some jeans and then messing them all up.

Once again, I really appreciate all your help.

Best,

Nobody

srry i don't have a pic, but i did it to and you could only see it when you looked really close, but now that i've been wearing them for a longer time you see it less and less so i wouln't worry about it, good luck

Wow what coincidence

I was actually considering a pair of RRDS myself and have some questions (i been lurking for too long, using the search function to no avail)

If the length was too long and needs to be hemmed, would you wear it in to wear it in, wash it then hem it (so it looks stupid for the length of time the projects going on) or would you hem it first then risk it shrinking too much? - how much would u expect a pair of 30-32s to shrink in length after washing?

2nd question. is it stupid to hem a pair of selvedge denim since you lose the edge?

[horriblyjollyjinx]

a pair or 32L Nudie's would probably shrink about 1-1.5". It would be best to hem them before wearing them in, because it might look weird if you hem them afterwards, but you have to account for shrinking.

It's not stupid to hem selvedge jeans and you wont lose the selvedge.

You will lose the chainstitch, however, unless your tailor has a chainstitching machine (which is extremely unlikely).

Purchased my rrds for 160 shipped to the US.

if you're worried about them shrinking too much I heard you can stretch them back out (hang them with weights attached or something of that sort.

I have a pair that i want to get hemmed but was wondering if i could just take it to a normal tailor to get it done.

[swyche]

do jeans shrink my proportion (32L shrinks 1-1.5, so 32R shrinks ??)

or would u expect them all to shrink 1-1.5?

weights lol. i'd have to steal some from my friends physics/ engineering lab
