So they don't shrink like Levi's STF? Is Texas cotton a bad thing?

I don't know if anyone could help on this, but if I wear a 31x34 Nudie SJ, which came tight... what size should I order for 0500 or 5000?

No, they DO shrink like STF's. And Texas cotton is a good thing! I guess my posts are coming across completely wrong. :confused:

I don't own nudies, so listen to ^^ Bill...sounds like he knows how they are sized in comparison.

[AdamJaz]

Ohh man, too bad 31s are sold out in 0500 and 5000 @ BiG... If I went with a different size, should I go up to a 32?

holy shit... is AdamJaz Khoiphan92 in disguise?!?!

Hey, I may be a little overly inquisitive, but I'm just trying to get my facts straight.

And I was replying to a post before Bill posted his reply.

I'll stop before I dig myself deeper.

Your questions have been legitimate.

soaked the sams today, very happy with the results. kept the waist stretched so their not too tight. pictures don't do them justice.

pre soak first, post second, ignore the weird stacking, that'll settle, i wore em right after they dried. sorry for the shitty first pic. they shrank a whole lot more than it looks like. i'm psyched to wear them in

are you stretching your pics?

[doctorworm]

nope, i am just very tall and very skinny, haha

[indigo_junkie]

^^:eek: Someone who can actually use ALL of Samurai's ridiculous 37 inch inseam!

Oh, btw, I wear the same size in Sams as my Nudie RR and SS. W33. For anyone that wants to know. W33 in Sams is just a touch tighter after soak, but it stretches out.

[gimmegimme]

I dig your little friend.

What model are these? Do you find them a bit loose still? Besides the waist I mean?

edit - I see from your other post they're 0500's...I think you should wash them for some more shrinkage.

[doctorworm]

they still are a tiny bit loose, but i think they have a bit more shrinkage in them. i am very happy with the fit the way they are though. i'd say they have a near perfect ratio of having some room too beng tight. the waist is quite though though and they are the s0500s. i was pretty suprised that i could use the whole inseam too, haha. thanks about the artwork too, that's wireman, i made him a while ago.

[gimmegimme]

Personally, I would hot or at least warm wash them. The waist will stretch out in no time, and the rest of the jeans will fit better.

They look good though...you bought the right model for your frame.

[doctorworm]

well the soak i did today was hot. i think i am going to wear them a little while before another wash or soak. plus i don't have time to wash em before i have to leave for college friday, thanks for the feedback though!

i would hot wash them, these have a ton of indigo and a hot wash will do nothing to harm your indigo loss

[doctorworm]

I'm not really worried about indigo loss. it's just that i leave for brown friday, and i need them to be completely dry. plus i am wshing my apcs tomorrow. i would definitely do it if i had the time, sadly i don't think i do.

How does one not have time to wash a pair of jeans?:confused:

[durdentk]

i just soaked my sammies in really hot water for 4 hours. would throwing them into the wash cycle on hot setting shrink them more or not really?

It would.

[durdentk]

think it would shrink them much more or did the really hot soak probably get most of the shrinkage out of them already?

What model are they? According to the vastly-knowledgeable Beatle ...the Zero denim keep shrinking for a while (S5000, etc.). After I soaked another pair of my jeans a few times, they still shrunk after they were washed....so my philosophy now is to ALWAYS hot wash when I get a new pair.

And it won't hurt, right?

[indigo_junkie]

hot soak and hot wash every time. Esp. with sams. I've washed my 710s 3 times and they've shrunk a little every time (though that could just be the denim bouncing back from being stretched. I don't know). I never wear jeans raw anymore.

They are the s710 19ounce, size 28 waist. After i hot soaked them i couldnt do them up, there was about a 2-3inch gap between the top button and its hole and i had to use extreme force to do it up lol. they fit now though, but if i could get as much shrinkage out of the legs of the jeans while keeping the waist area how it is i will be very happy.

I'd wash them...the waist will stretch back out.
