haha yea sort of. so when did u discover the "art of breaking into selvedge jeans" ?

the contrast will appear at all the places where most wearing takes place, usually the front pocket areas, some on the knees, and at the honeycomb areas.

the higher the temperature, the more the contrast, and the more the shrinkage. tht would be bout 60deg. machine will be fine, turn the jeans inside out, the leave it to dry.

[smallkuku]

is it really ok to wash at 60 degrees coz the tag says wash at 30 degress ?? i tot cold water shrinks the denim??

[evanism]

yea it is. hot water shrinks the thing. 30 degs will keep the dark indigo colour as much as possible. and will reduce shrinkage. if u wannan be safe just go for 40.

woah. those evisus are nice.imo one of the nicest pairs around for evisu.

[lek]

not very nice leh, imo.

But have to go down to check out the real thing in person ....

[minya]

Are those black or blue denim?

[Gogeta888]

^^ HOTT

"My Name goes Here"

[aLKayeL]

Its dark indigo but my cam sux so it came out black

[smallkuku]

heard the jeans is not selvedge

[evanism]

yea they're nt. hmm u only dig selvage jeans? why?

[tweeds]

The marina square puma outlet only carries the regular and relaxed fit jeans for men, and only in the worn in and worn out washes. No dry stuff to be seen, and only skinnies in the shop are for women.

I'm going to check out Venue at Club St which sells the full range of evisuxpuma, according to the sales assistant at the puma shop (who was apologetic for not having all the stuff)

[lek]

since i put on a pair of selvedge jeans a little more that 6 months ago, i've not look back on the other commercial produce.

if anyone wants to know the true feelings/sensation etc. of wearing jeans, i think high quality wide-loomed denim are still not the answer ....

educate me otherwise, please, for those who beg to defer. . Thanks.

[backinthetrees]

hahahal. the local beasts have caught up on the game a little man..

i saw a beast in some bape tee x apc ns x uncocoa snake af1s..

i know not many of them are into evisus.. having said tt, most of them are def into the whole bape/nbhd stuff. nbhd jeans are all selvedge tho... i think.

i was at redwolves the other day, and i didnt see ANY no.2 jeans at all..

i asked the store worker if they carred no1 specials.. and the guy was like... "umm what do they look like?"

i was close to infuriated..

oh well, bottomline, if you wear what you want to wear and not give a fuck.. it wont matter who wears what.. i'm still wearing dunk sbs sometimes.. but i feel i dont like beasty at all.. so yeah

peace.

punk me, bitch.

sup lek.. if i;m not wrong, i think the denim tt nudie uses arent narrow loomed.. as far as i know, only evisu does the whole vintage looom thing.

selvedge has now been massproduced man.. even zara has selvedge jeans.. so yeah..

mebbe you're referring to the breaking in of dry jeans? but tt can happen, regardless of selvedge or not..and not to mention tt after 1958 i think, lee has stopped producing jeans with selvedge edges altogether.. for levis it was only in 1983 they stopped..

punk me, bitch.

[lek]

Yah yah yah, i saw the Zara 'premium selvedge' too! At first i thought it was quite nice, but after staring at it for 3 minutes, i thought they've tried too hard! hahahahahahahaa .......

Is Samurai also done by narrow loom? How about those used on the LVCs? I'm assuming they all are .....

I haven't wear my No.2, but am wearing the Samurai S0110XJ, 1944 & 1947 LVCs & a Sugarcane. I figure it'll take me YEARS to break them since I only wear jeans from Fri. to Sun ..... .

Reasons I like these jeans are that they are rough, thick & stiff.

Spells "tough" to me, & I thought that's the whole idea!

Wide-looms are very comfortable though. Come to think of it now, I thought they feel a bit "Gu-Niang" besides the narrow-looms !!!! hahahahahahaaa ..... .

bro, told y'all redwolves cannot make it already ...... They're, IMO, a disgrace to SG's retail scene ......

Why are Bape, nbhd, visvim, surrender etc so hot ah?

I just fail to understand.

I don't see anything so special to them that justifies their asking price leh .......

Don't tell me anything about "Limited Edition", or "Limited Availability". To me, it's just another way of saying, "Sorry man, our company's too small to make more, but just as well, I can market differently, jack up the price to fill up my cash registers & satisfy your non-conformist mindset ..... " !!!

Not really uncle's cup of tea sometimes .......

[smallkuku]

coz they see edison etc in their fav brands..kekeke

[aLKayeL]

i cant say the same for the other stuff but some of the bape tees look good

I've seen Lee green selvedge when i was staying in sweden a year back. would have bought a pair if it wasn't S$300+, price on par with LVC.

[backinthetrees]

sup bros.. not sure if samurais are done on the narrow looms.. gotta ask ringring on tt one. haha

LVC claim tt they use their old looms of yesteryear to produce their present day LVC line.

dunno whether true or not. hahahahhaa

nice jeans you got lek.. heh. not many pairs of SCs around in SG. was in tokyo a while back. tried on the SC1947s.. but i decided i wasnt really me, so i went for a pair of APCs instead. i dont really regret my decision tho. : ) loving the NS.. and my creases are coming along really nicely..

bape - sanrio for men at a much higher price. jap "underground" label.... so yeah. and... Pharrell.... i'm sorry to break it to you guys, but the world's made up of sheep.

nbhd - i dunno man.. you know how the japs do stuff. altho, some of their jeans are pretty nice. having said tt, i still dont really agree with the asking price.

visvim - i actually like their stuff.... i mean, their shoes are seriously DAMN comfortable la.. and well, their bags are pretty hot too. haven;t seen much of their clothing so.. not too sure man. quite like what i see tho.

surrender - well.... obvious reasons.. james lavelle. who really has some good music out there, respect on that. well, the label's still young. so lets see what they're gonna come up with in time to come.

well abt edison, if you've read his blog on www.honeyee.com , he's actually really down to earth, and i guess, i have quite a bit of respect for that fella man..

lee green selvedge.. not too sure how the lee's work.. i know they still manufacture the half-selvedge.. i know there are full selvedge seams, but i'm not much of a lee fan.

well, as you can see my fellow singaporeans, i'm REALLY bored. yeah.

anyone ever wonder if we shld be called lky-ians instead?

punk me, bitch.

[uL7iMa]

has anyone been to style nordic recently?

does anyone know how much do they sell the RRDS for?

and do they carry the straight svens?

[tweeds]

they carry most of the range. jeans at 319 and up. basically, don't buy from them.

[backinthetrees]

i think RRDS are 369.. maybe more.... def not cheap.

punk me, bitch.

[pugsfly]

There's a writeup in Straits Times URBAN on cult jeans. Mention of Evisu, Tsubi and Red Monkeys..

[lek]

bros,

bought a pair of A.P.C. New Standard in over-dyed black from the APC website store last 2 weeks ago. Front Row was waiting for them to arrive but I couldn't wait, so I spent S$20 more to buy them online. Reach me on the 4th day morning via FedEx from France, so I think, it's not too bad to get them online. Front Row is still the best, if you're not in a hurry.

Anyway, I spilled a cup of strong coffee on them on my debut wear to the office early that morning. Rushed home to wash it. LOST A FUCKING LOT OF BLACK DYE !!!!!!!!

IT WAS ONE OF THOSE SUPER BAD-HAIR DAYS ........ !@$#%$#^$% ......

Now it's become A.P.C. New Standard - Black ........
