EDWIN RAW DENIM SIZING

[jimmyweave]

yo

planning to purchase some Edwin ED-47 'sanforized raw denim rainbow selvedge' online (only place i can find them), but am not sure of their sizing. It says they are 34x34, will this be a true 34" waist? thanks in advance for any info

cheers

If they're sanforized, then they're not intended to be shrunk during wash. Whether it's a true 34 or not, I'll leave it to the experienced to answer.

I'ld say go true to size, or one size less.

They stretch a lot (as do all Denim really). I'm somewhere between 32" to 33" normally (thought I was a 34" but turned out I was wrong ). I tried a pair 33" and they were way to big. The 32" were a bit tight, but now they've stretched out really nice and even look a bit saggy in the back.

And, as mentioned, they are indeed sanforized so I'm not expecting much shrinkage.

Many jeans aren't sized to the tag, as it seems. And there can be variations between each and every pair as well, I've experienced this a few times when trying on jeans in stores. A 33" in one wash or model fits like a glove while the same model, different wash is tight or loose as hell.

I find it very hard ordering online, but as far as Edwin's go I'm a 32". Even ordered a pair of Nashvilles, and they too fit well. Only thing I have a hard time recommending, even for dry denim (sanforized) is oversizing. Unless it's specificly Raw or STF I can only assume that it will stretch out again. It's happened with all my jeans, specially my 33" and 34". Fit nice or comfortable after first wash, and then stretches out again...

I would say go true to size. But they can get nearby an inch more over time in the waist area.

I have some brand new, tagged Edwin Selvedge for sale in the classifieds that may be of interest to you guys.
