Are all Dior Homme raw denim jeans made with japanese denim?

[sphoxx]

I'm about 83/84 cm and the 29 fits me extremely comfortably after stretching; I'd go with a 28 if you can find it.

edit: yeah, they soften up after a month or so

Whats the differences, and the sizes down there. The US size, is it inches at the waist? If so they only have 30" left for the lighter ones.

Please please please help me with this, im addicted to buy Dior Raw

I believe the second pair of denim in those links is the 21cm. And the Italian denim is a bit softer than the Japanese denim.

What do you measure your waist to in cm's?

[wild_whiskey]

Just to chime in, "made in japan" doesnt mean they're made from Japanese denim, and "made in italy" doesn't mean they're made from italian denim.

[derdankhund]

nor does the sourcing of the denim from Japan necessarily indicate a higher level of quality. 1921 gets all their denim from Japan, and I wouldn't rank them above a lot of the LA designers that use turkish or other "lower end" denim

Ok.

Well it doesnt say sizes in inches at the waist. What size do i need in US or EU?

Someone knows how i know which size i need?

[Mums]

Still need help with the size

And whats the diff between http://www.rakuten.co.jp/2line/601577/801536/ and http://www.raffaello-network.com/raffties/detail.php?itemid=59943&rangeid=483 except that the rakuten are 19cm's?

Please i need some help before ordering my first pair of raw denim!

So sphoxx you're around a 33in waist and the 29in works for you?... i'm about the same

Tragic, How you liking the black raw diors? any idea how they will wear?

Edited by downbeatdroog on May 16, 2006 at 10:47 PM

[sphoxx]

Yep, just about; The 29 fits like they're designed to, ie. a tad slouchy and low hung. If I wore a 28 they'd be fitted around the waist and wouldn't really achieve the same look. I'm loving the size more and more as I wear them; I'm really looking forward to the first wash though, they're going to be perfect.

[Mums]

Huh? Whats your waist in centimeters?

The black raw Diors are great. They're Japanse "Finished" I guess? People are saying that just because they say "Made in Japan" doesn't mean they are Japanese denim... But I figure, what the fuck would Dior be outsourcing to Japan or Italy if it wasn't denim? Whatever. They're def. stiffer than the Italian raws I have, really slubby and have these tinny little imperfections of white cotton... Just beautiful. I'll take pictures later today when I get them back from the alterations place, I had them hemmed a little shorter.

The wear hould be pretty nice. I'm thinking of trying to go a year without washing them instead of 6 months, just because I've heard that black denim doesn't wear as easily... But we'll see.

I don't know the actual measurement of my waist. I can wear anything from a 27-30 in defferent denim. I'll have to measure when I get home later and I'll let you know.

TYVM

Think i should buy the 21cm:ers in 30" and test them?

[jimmyweave]

alright fellas,

bit of a raw denim 'newbie' so please resist scornful and sarcastic remarks...

just got some DH jeans, Made In Italy, appear to be raw, 21cm

problem is they are size 36 (im quite a big lad) but they are too big. If i wash these will they shrink, and by how much? What would happen to the fabric?

thanks for your answers and patience

cheers

[darkanimal]

They won't shrink even if you wash em.. it will just become looser n looser the more you wear em

[downbeatdroog]

The NYC Dior Homme only carries the raw black "Made in Italy". Where did you buy the made in Japan? Thanks,

[sevenjeansareoverrated]

how many different types of jeans does DH have, and what is the asking price? i tried searching, but as you see, im new. i want to buy some at the flagship store in manhattan, and need to know the price. i would prefer a tube leg type slim in a dark cast

Anyone got any pics of their dry DH denim after a wash? I have been weraing my dry Diors (made in Japan - never seen a made in Italy pair of Dry Diors here in London) for 6 months now and I still love them. Have worn them nearly every day (!) but not getting a huge amount of fading so not sure whether to go a further 6 months or just wash them now...

Also, it's hard to tell how the Diors are going to fit - you really do need to try them on. I am a 27 waist in the dry, a 28 in the washed black denim and a 27 in the washed blue denim and a 28 in another pair so it really does depend. Alwyas try them if you can...Also I don't wear them loose or low - don't think it looks right with skinny jeans or straight legged jeans - I like them to fit without being actually tight (if you know what I mean) skinny jeans worn low and loose on the waist make you look like you haven't got an arse which is never a good look IMHO

[Tobe]

could you post some pics of you wearing the raw diors?

that'd be great

thanks

Haha, you're getting quite a bit of attention for these tragic

can we see the black ones too?

[TragicBliss]

I was at the DH boutique on Rodeo today and there is definitely a difference between the Italian and Japanese jeans. The raw Italian denim indigo is much much darker than the raw Japanese indigo. The Italian denim is woven in a different direction than on the Japanese pair as well. Same thing for the raw black. I got the impression that the Japanese denim was produced in lower numbers and might have been limited to Dior Homme boutiques.

Just in case anyone was wondering.

So I'm about to pull the trigger and order some of the Japan from the LA boutique - would you say it's worth the extra $70? I'm about a 33.5 in waist so i'm going for the 30 raw cuz i hear the Japan will stretch out less than the Italy. This seem right to you guys? Thanks
