about a brand called Jean Shop

[rnrswitch]

Everyone talks about these stretching. What about shrinking? Particularly in the length. I happened on a pair of raw Classics and they fit great, but there isn't much to play with in the length. If they come up a half or an inch, I'm OK. If they go up two or three I'm getting into highwater country. If these things are going to act like ShrinkyDinks (anyone around here old enough to remember those?) I'd rather keep them raw and sell them to someone slighty shorter.

They shouldn't shrink too much. I believe I wore mine raw for about six months and the shrinkage was about .5 to 1in., but I also think they can be stretched back out pretty easily.

Nice pair of jeans. I really enjoyed mine when I was wearing them and they typically get pulled out for yard/house work. There should be some pics of them earlier in the thread.

edit: I might have mispoke. Maybe I didn't post them in this thread. Go back a couple pages and Serge's are on there. His look way better than mine anyways. Hmmm I kinda miss have serge around.

Thanks for the quick info. I guess I'm still on the fence. I don't mind slacks or chinos that ride up your shin, but not as much with denim. And it's kind of a waste to not be able to cuff with that orange stripe. At least I have food with which to ponder now.

Cross post from evolution of jeans thread

Jean Shop Classic; Worn for seven months with two washes

this thread is pretty dead, but i thought i'd post some pictures of my pair..not too fond of them but got them on discount from a relative working at AB Fits and i grew out of my ande whalls :(

I've bought my first pair of jean shops about 3 months ago with an 80% discount. Although they are nice, I wonder why they are that much more expensive than $150,- selvedge denim. They don't really seem that much nicer. The fades that I've seen aren't that impressive aswell.

Oh well, I can't really go wrong with a €50,- pair of jeans .

[yliafp]

i paid a lot more i kind of feel like i got hustled by family which bugs me but..whatever i guess i supported him

[Kaaspeer]

Nah, I just got lucky. The store I bought mine from was closing so the jeans were heavily discounted. The retail price was about €270,-

Went to a Barneys outlet and got these Grey Jean Shop Rockers

couldn't find any info on these online so overloaded on details

Jean Shop X Barney's Co-op 25th Anniversary

51/215

dated Aug 18 2010

Grey RHT denim with a very interesting color there are specs of white and black mixed in with the grey

Rigid texture I'd estimate 15-16 oz denim

orange and white selvage

Hidden selvage coin pocket and selvage fly

Orange chambray pocket bags and half lined back pockets

Very nice RIRI Zipper

Best part was they were $35

I don't know how often i will wear these but I hope i can get some good evolution over time

The fit is not great so I may taper them.

I'm selling a pair of size 27 Rockers ... new and raw!

While my 28 Rockers have stretched out, I sadly cannot even button up this pair of 27s

Is this Jean Shop denim?

Just wondering as I've seen it for sale

[Kwaker]

the orange and white line does suggest their denim

[jonmhenderson]

Got some new Jean Shop Classic fits off eBay. Love the stiff denim and all the selvedge edges inside the jeans as well.

Thanks Hog! Really impressed by the quality.

[Kwaker]

The cut works for you, maybe you should try the off-white version.

If you need a 32L, I've got a pair of Jean Shop Classic in natural for you in my signature.

Thanks Kwaker, I'll see how these break in.

[jonmhenderson]

Worn raw at a little over one month, denim getting really interesting. Vertical fading coming through. Still very crisp feeling.

[Kwaker]

Jean Shop is moving their store.

They have some items at 60% off listed on their site.

 

FYI ... I have a pair of size 27 (fits 29 waist) Jean Shop Classics in natural selvedge for $45 ... see my sig.

Trying on some old pairs … bought in early 06, wore them for about 2 years all in over two stints. Alot of patching esp around crotch, and new pocket bags.

Looks like Jean Shop is no more but guy that owned them saved the White Oak draper looms and helped start Vidalia Mills!
