are chinos just like soft denim?
they're constructed pretty much exactly the same way...

>>8717713
They're both twill fabrics, but are treated differently (I'm not sure on the specifics).
I wouldn't say that chino is "just like" soft denim, but they have plenty of similarities. There's a reason that so many people recommend them as an alternative to jeans.

i just got a pair of jeans that fit really nice everywhere except the knees.
bending the knees in them actually hurts (it cuts into the skin behind my knee).

is there a faster way to stretch it out than just wearing them?

>>8717702

so I want a denim trucker jacket, but I think they look like garbage raw/unfaded

I don't want a shit tier one though, so I have to buy dark. They take years to lighten naturally, is there a way I can speed that up?

Can I stonewash myself and make decent fades?

pic related, what I'm looking for.

>>8717735
I would just buy a pre-faded one.

>>8717735

get one at a thrift

>>8717747

I thought sbout it but they are all faded like shit

None of them look natural at all

>>8717752

Also thought about this, I'll look some more, the problem is most that are actually faded are old and from a time when fit was different, the arms are like circus tents.

>>8717735
1. become a truck driver
2. get denim trucker jacket
3. wear it every day as you travel the country like a modern cowboy

>>8717760

is being an overweight chainsmoking trucker effay?

w2c cheap pete? Haven't seen any on grailed yet

Awesome someone made a new general I was worried.
So tell me /fa/, how many pairs of denim do you have in your rotation?
I have a pair of Naked and Famous Skinny Guys in Indigo Power stretch, a pair of Levis 510s, and thinking of grabbing either 3sixteen Shadow Selvedge or Rogue Territory Dark Stanton/Sk for my next pair.

Any way to reverse leg twist?

>>8717766
I have unbranded 21oz Skinny and that is it untill I buy some Elephant 3's.

>>8717766
japan blue in slim-taper/indigo selvedge (my main)
n&f 8oz indigo/indigo (great during summer)
levi 511 rigid dragon (indigo/black) that i got on sale ($48 with tax)
had a pair of n&f left hand twill that i put to rest a few months ago (first raws)

want to get some heavy raw selvedge next (20oz+)
or something really neppy/slubby

got my first raws and shit is so cash. UB101s and i'm already in love w/ them omggggg

fuck i wanted to get the 21oz unbranded but the inseam is only 33.
I'm 6'5" and need AT LEAST 35in (preferably 36 since they're always a little shorter when actually wearing them).

anyone know something like the unbranded 21oz with a longer inseam but in the same price range?

(yeah i know n&f elephant, but that's $100 more)

what is the point of heavy denim?
isn't anything over 16oz going to feel like cardboard?
does it last longer or hold up better?

Just copped these for £7 at a charity shop.

The fit is a bit dated compared to what I'm used to, but I want that normcore vibe. What shoes would go with this light colour?

I have black DMs, blue worn Vans, and some old black Adidas trainers with red stripes.

>>8717768
no
>>8717758
if you fade one yourself you should put it on and sandpaper it in the places you want it to look faded to mimic natural wear

>>8717766
UB101
N&F 10oz natural indigo
PBJ xx-012
after the PBJ contest is over I'm going to get a pair of the tapered Japan Blue Monsters

>>8717856
higher contrast fades, takes longer to blow out, warmer

>>8718001
fuck. I soaked my denims and they twisted and now muh fades :(

>>8717912
no the straight fit.

ey is ironing washed raws okay?

I have a pair of grey UB that got fucked from going in the washer and dryer and they have some weird, horizontal creasing on them.

>>8718016
Oh yeah, thats odd.

>>8718034
Put a towel over them and iron on low

>>8718010
wabi-sabi bruh, embrace it

>>8718034
definitely

>>8718040
blue owl says 34.5... still to short but weird it's different from the official unbranded site.

>>8718077
The Skinny are 36", the Tapered 34.5" and the Straight 33".

Posted this in Fuccboi general but you guys might be able to help me too.

Pic related is not me, but every single pair of jeans I've tried on has these little flaps on the sides. Granted, this guy is wearing N&F weird guys, but I've tried on Levi's 510s and Uniqlo jeans and they all have this little flap regardless of skinniness.

I just can't tell if it's something wrong with my thighs or with the jeans.

>>8718077
blue owl says skinny 36.5, tapered is 34, and straight is 34.5

>>8718097
try rolling/cuffing them, see if it goes away.
if it does, get them hemmed.

>>8718081
blue owl says skinny 36.5, tapered is 34, and straight is 34.5
for the UB21oz

>>8718116
Whats probably happened is they may have measured it themselves and found slight differences from what Unbranded says they are.

>>8718123
but who to trust?

>>8718128
Maybe email blueowl?? :/

>>8717702
w2c slim/tapered/slim-tapered jeans in UK?
I give so many options because I'm not sure what I'm looking for - I'd like something that is not skin tight, but not too far off either
If anyone could help with this it'd be very appreciated

>>8718132
Raw or not?

>>8718197
I have no idea to be honest
I was looking for some based on what some people have in this thread and found these
http://theunbrandedbrand.com/collections/all/products/ub104-skinny-fit-black-selvedge
which seem to be what I was asking for

>>8718232
>http://theunbrandedbrand.com/collections/all/products/ub104-skinny-fit-black-selvedge
The issue with these is that they're not actually black in real life, they're more of a gray because of the 3:1 black to white thread ratio. But, solid cop if you like em.

who's doing good grey jeans atm

Should i buy raw denim if I'm not going to wear them six months straight?

>>8718240
I didn't realise that
I can't get them anyway since they're not sold at all in the UK

My raw denim collection so far:

Bluer 1776 Raw Selvedge Slim Straight. (got for $90 shipped on a sale)
Jacob Davis Raw Straight (got for $70 shipped, on sale, plus got a 10% refund)
Levis Rigid STF ($40 shipped. free shipping plus $10 off coupon)

Relatively new to raw denim but I can feel the addiction building... The ones I have listed above are the only pairs of raw denim I've owned and its only been about 5 months of owning them, and I'm already considering making the jump into some of the higher end brands of raw selvedge denim. Specifically looking at a pair of Tellasom, or Norman Porters. Or both because fuck money.

>>8718264
They only have straight and tapered left. http://www.tshop.uk.com/the-unbranded-brand/?sort=newest

>>8718278

>>8718284
To the people that have posted in this thread that have worn/own a pair of unbranded jeans, would you recommend them? I'm considering them as well too for my next buy.

>>8717896
white, grey and different shade of light blue

>>8718242
if you're skelly, edwin has ed-88s at endclothing

>>8718261
It depends on what you want to do. They will fade they just won't be those high contrast fades that everyone likes. It's probably optimal to soak your denim once a month but, people don't do it since they won't get the sikk fadezzz.

>>8717766
SLP 15.5
Acne Max cash
Samurai S5000AI
Raleigh Wilson Trousers
RO DS Detroit

Have owned 3sixteen, N&F, Tellason, IH and others but have either sold or given away.

I need some raw selvedge for <$200 that fit like Levi's 511 w32l32. Any ideas?

>>8718010
You're fine don't be a bitch

>>8717766
Luther's '47s and Uniqlo slim-straights. I'm gonna get a pair of '55s and probably sell the '47s, then find a pair of black APC New Standards.

>>8718097
Get jeans with a smaller thigh measurement. You probably have pencil legs

>>8718128
Email Blue Owl ask them to measure a specific pair for you and then you can buy that pair. Jay is a cool dude and will be helpful

>>8718132
ACNE
Our legacy
Rivet and hide has some stuff specifically steel feather

If you wanna drop $$$ go with Dior, SLP

APC is also always an option.

w2c jeans that fit like Acne ace that are around $100?

>>8718808
Dior isn't any better than most of the $200-$300 stuff, you're really just paying double for the name. Better off getting some momotaro or samurai

I bought a pair of April77 Raw Joey Nightrider in black.

As I wasn't aware about raw jeans' features when I got them, I was wonderig if there's a way to at least contain fading if not preventing it.

Also, what is your opinion about April77 fabrics in general?

anyone seen the new Frankenstein 3 from n&f?

SUPER slubby.

http://shop.tateandyoko.com/collections/naked-and-famous-weirdguy/products/naked-famous-denim-weird-guy-frankenstein-3

>>8718850
>I was wonderig if there's a way to at least contain fading if not preventing it.
the longer you wear without washing, the greater the fading (as the stress points will lost the most indigo).
to reduce fading, soak in cold water for 30-40 minutes every 3 or 4 weeks. you can use a little detergent if you want, i use woolite dark.

also, never dry denim in a dryer, just hang them or put them on a rack.

anyone seen the new Frankenstein 3 from n&f?

SUPER slubby.

http://shop.tateandyoko.com/collections/naked-and-famous-weirdguy/products/naked-famous-denim-weird-guy-frankenstein-3

>>8718001
Would you recommend the unbranded 101's?

>>8718034
Why would you tumble dry jeans?

>>8718828
Momotaro and samurai are making completely different jeans then Dior getting either of them over Dior makes no sense as they cater to different aesthetics.

That being said Dior at retail is definitely not going to be the most value for your money but they are for sure nicer then 200-300$ ie (acne, APC, RT ect) Jeans

>>8718132
Primark

>>8718861
Washing doesn't reduce fading... It just makes the fabric fade more evenly. If you are super concerned about them staying black you can dryclean.

>>8718868
looks kinda cool.
i like the upside black patch.

if only they were selvedge...

Can you get the waist altered on selvedge denim? My APC NPSs are too big in the waist, which isn't really a problem with a belt and making sure the denim doesn't bunch in the crotch, but it's still kind of annoying to have to worry about that and making sure the excess material is evenly distributed throughout the waist.

hey could anyone make it clear to me what exactly "weirdguy" line of naked and famous jeans is?

i just bought some selvedge raw denim shit from uniqlo and it's tight as hell on my waist, crotch region. Will it loosen/expand or should I have sized up?

>>8718973
yes, a decent tailor should be able to take in the waist, being selvedge should not affect it.
look up yelp reviewers of tailors near you if you can, find one with a decent amount of good reviews, go to them and tell them what you need.

>>8718976
slim tapered. (slim in thigh, tapers down from knee to leg-opening... meaning the leg opening is smaller than the knee.)

when you see a knee measurement of 8in, that's with the denim laid out flat, so the actual knee would be double that.

a straight fit would have the same measurement for knee and leg-opening.
where a taper fit usually has a leg opening around 1 inch to 1.5 inches smaller.

>>8718980
depends. most denim will give a bit after about a week of regular wear, but not a whole lot. if you can't even fit 2 fingers comfortably between the jeans and the skin, should probably size up 1.

>>8718976
>>8719110
3sixteen has a really nice measuring guide to help illustrate the point.

http://www.3sixteen.com/pages/measuring-guide

Does anyone have any info on Uniqlos Black Skinny Jeans??? I don't want to shell out £150 for some Acnes that are also made in a third world country.

>>8719252

idk about them but the 511 levis seem good. just received a pair. going to cop a pair of the indigo stretch from uniqlo next. i don't think those come in black :(

>>8717848
6'4" bra with 34" inseam reporting in would like to know too

>>8719303
511s are skinny enough at the bottom for me. Should I cop 510s? These are my legs and how skinny they are >>8718136

One year of fairly infrequent wear

One soak (water only) because I fell in mud

>>8719497
The booty

>>8719110
thanks m8

Anyone here ever tried showering with their jeans? Seems like a waste of water to just soak them. They're brand new too so I don't have to worry about grime

>>8719690
Ahahaha fucking tard "waste of water" do you not wash your clothes? showering with your jeans on will just create runs and crazy knee bags.

>>8718796
Makes sense. Having difficulty finding jeans with a thinner thigh that isn't too skinny in the calf part, which I guess might just be too big for jeans

>>8719690
You do have to worry about dye leaking. I wouldn't recommend it unless you are terribly pressed to paint yourself blue. Depending if they are sanforized or not yadayada.

How do I wash my Acne Ace Cash jeans?

>>8719700
Well I usually don't wash clothes in the bathtub. I was gonna try washing them in the machine but wanted opinions on showering with them. Seemed like similar concepts anyway

i need a new damn pair of pants.

and will someone tell me why levis sizes vary so much?
i've got a pair of dark blue 511s in a size 33 and theyve gotten really tight in the thighs (trex mode) and the crotch is wearing out
and ive got a pair of black 511s in 32 and the thighs are really loose

i need a nice middle ground.
any suggestions?

>>8720821
Levis are made by poor mexicans who don't give a shit about sizing their product perfectly.

Find your best fitting pair of pants and use this guide to measure them.
http://blueingreensoho.com/site/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=41

Once you have your measurements, go here:

http://scout.rawrdenim.com/denim

type in measurements and find your perfect pair.

>>8720821
511 used to be skinny, now they are slim.

I have some N&F jeans and have been putting off washing them because I like the dark indigo so much. Any tips on how to save the dye as best as possible?

>>8721078

Flip inside out. Soak them in cool water, flip right side out and hang dry.
You probably won't even notice the difference.

>>8721085
Would a cold wash on delicate suffice?

>>8721088
the agitation would cause more loss of indigo, and may shrink your pants slightly.

Just soak them in your bathtub or a bucket or something.

>>8721097
Well they are pretty dingy so I don't think a soak will quite do the trick and as long as they don't go light blue I'll be okay

is it just me or do girl distressed jeans look better?

APC PNS size 30, too tight in thigs, want size up to 32. What do you think?

>>8717766
Current rotation:
Kapital century denim
APC Petit New Standard
Uniqlo black denim (lel)

probably gonna cop Rogue Territory next, either overdyed Stantons or stealth black Stantons if I can find my size. Need to replace my APCs cause I hate the fit

>>8718782
Bump.

>>8721727
Your problem was buying APCs

>>8721758
Yeah i know man, I heard a lot of good things about them and they were wrong

/fa/s big two jean recs of APC and Acne are both pretty shit

Got some Japan Blues from Blue Owl, they hemmed them for me in the shop and now I have some scraps.
What do you guys do with your scraps? Seems a shame to throw them away. I was thinking of making a couple keychains for the gf and I.

>>8721714
They'll be fine just wear em a bit

If you could get them on at that size it would be a mistake to size up

>>8721765
Maybe like 4 years ago?
It's mostly unbranded and naked and famous for newbies now
Then like Japan blue, 3sixteen,rogue territory

>>8721808
Eat them.
Or of the crotch blows out you have extra fabric to use to fix it.

>>8721765
>/fa/'s recommendations were shit
And you were for some reason surprised by this?

crossposted from fuccboi gen but w/e

acne or APC?

http://tres-bien.com/brand/acne-studios/max-cash-jeans-black

http://tres-bien.com/brand/apc/petit-standard-jeans-overdyed-black

how much stretch should I expect from each? also I heard you have to size down a lot for APC is that true? I wear size 33 in N&F skinnyguy (so 32') should I cop the same for these?

what brand does natural-dye indigo selvedge denim, high waisted and very full cut, even wider than a like a pre-war 501
similar to this, but even higher waister

Ping

>>8717735
bleach

>>8719497
new standard?

>>8717702
I have some MIJ Overdyed black 28 Petite Standards and they haven't stretched nearly as much as my indigo PS I bought recently. Is the APC size down 2 thing only for the Made in vietnam/macau versions? I bought both tts

>>8721827
Do you think so? I already have one pair of petit standard and it won't strech on the thigs. Waist, knees - yes, but thigs are too tight, though i weared them for 7 mounths.

>>8721062
Maybe it's just me, but I think the whole underrating Levis can get out of hand.

Let's get this straight - they're not top of the line denim nor will their mainline ever will be considered top. However, this is not what Levis excels in... One of the best qualities about Levi is their variety of cuts and washes. In almost every country in this world can you find a pair of Levis and while you claim they're different from one country to the next, they're not ... You only hear of extreme variations of some items and that is bound to happen with any mass produced product, but they're still overall reliable jeans.

If you're living in the US you've got it good with Levis. They're cheap, never will go out of style and they're in every department store. They're reliable and from the price you pay, can you ask anymore?

... but then there's LVC. Levis Vintage Clothing is probably one of the better raw blines. Just like mainline Levis they share somewhat of a variety.
>but wait they're all 501s.
Yes but 1940s' will vary from the 1970s', that's what makes them so fucking awesome. You get the whole nostalgic experience with them and you don't even had to have been alive for that junk. For their price range it's not even that bad either.

>>8722094
For black jeans ACNE APC's only redeeming quality is that their standard raws develop beautiful fades, the construction is shit.

>>8722104

why.jpg

>>8722104
You best bet would probably be to look around at Japanese repro brands. Kapital might do something similar?

>>8722208
yeah

>>8722384
Oh, in that case idk, my new standards stretched in the thighs a bit

maybe you should just lose weight, like I said, because of the fact that you can get them on at this size it would be a pretty bad idea to get them 2 sizes bigger.

Idk though you should try on the 32 and if it still feels a bit tight in the waist you should be ok

>>8718904
yes, but be warned that they aren't skinny at all, more like slim

Hi /denim/. I bought a cheap pair of Black Levis 510s just to pair with some black suede clarks londons.

However, because they're a teeny bit long I need to pin roll them. I've had them taken up already but need to go again. But before I go and get them taken up again I wanted to know about the hems


1. when these Levis do get rolled they seem really bulky and akward

2. The hem should be slightly narrower because they seem a bit baggy at the bottom. They fit really nicely except at the bottom.

Any advice? I know I'm a cheapskate pleb and whatever but any advice or brands that don't do this would be great.

Thanks

>>8718963
If you like them who cares man, Selvedge is good but not life or death

>>8723227
They get bulky and awkward because they have a severe taper. So if you roll them up via pinrolling, the part right before the pinroll is still a larger size.
Best idea would be to just take them to a tailor and have them tapered and hemmed to a way you like, or to buy a different brand of jeans (Because I wouldn't wanna tailor my 510s)

Speaking of 510s, how would I go about making my 510s more comfortable? I have a pair in jet that I really like, but they make me all itchy and gross. Fabric softener or something else?

Opinions on these? Are they skinnier than 511 do you reckon? The 511 is too baggy on me and looking for something different

>>8723254
Any other way to roll them other than pin roll that won't make them bulky? or should I just get them taken up so no roll is necessary

>>8723254
Also any advice on black skinny jeans that would not bulk up when rolling?

>>8723261
The look nice to me. What'chu gonna wear them with?

>>8723237
i'm not paying that much for non-selvedge slub.
maybe if they were $50 less.

>>8723254
just gotta break em in.
a lot of denim is going to be stiff and itchy at first

>>8723261
ugh, those fake "fades"

>>8723275
pls help ;_;

recently copped apc ns, sized down 2. When will my balls work again?

>>8723402
I dont want to have to take care of raw denim

*tips fedora*

>>8721765
fatty detected

>>8723541
you don't need fucking raw denim to not have fades. just get some solid color levis in indigo or dark indigo.

if you think buying jeans with artificial fading is a good idea, you shouldn't be on /fa/

Should i was my raws?

I have had them for over a year with frequent wear, the fades are light blue / white and really pop against the darker portions, thinking washing would get them a little lighter all around.....

but the thought of fucking them up.... tbh i wouldn't really care if they would get fucked, then i could just start over with a new pair

think imma give them a soak wash and see what happens

>>8723640
wash*** fuck i am an idiot

The knees are sagging a bit too much on my raws, how do I shrink them? Should I just spray them with water?

>>8723700
no known solution to man so far. come back in 3014, maybe we'll fix this by then

>>8723632
post fit

Does anyone know where to find the slim-fit levi trucker jackets? They seem to be gone, I tried another version but I hated it.

>>8723640
if you dont really care then just wash them anyway. its fun to just say fuck it and experiment

>>8723622
lel thats not the problem, the problem is it's shitty elasticy denim that stretches fuckin 4 inches in the waist and has pretty bad construction for other options in the price range

does anybody know anything about ed-88 sizing
im getting tired of buying jeans online then discovering they're too tight
im a 29 waist, was thinking of sizing up to a 31 even

>>8725344
ed-88s are really slim jeans throughout, I have two pairs and strongly suggest you go true to size

>>8725344
I weigh 61kg and I find the ed-88s to be form fitting throughout the thighs, knees and ankles. I strongly suggest you run true to size.

Is denim in again? Can I wear this now?

>>8725344
I have two pairs of the ed-88s and all I'm going to say is that these are for the skinniest of folks, I weigh 61kg and find them to be quite slim throughout and strongly suggest you buy them in your true size

>>8725637
Fuck, man. I need this. A lot of the shit I see posted is fuccboi / ninja shit that I'd never wear because I'm not a wigger / autist. This I can get down with.

>>8725702
fuck, i seriously hate how sloppy the work is on the inside of edwin jeans

even coming from mall tier levis i had to turn them inside out and clean up the sloppy stiching and denim cuts on my edwin lee repros this was back 5 years ago though

>>8725737
fuckin' hell

I read your post, turned my edwin's inside out and spent the last couple minutes removing loose thread, not cool :-/

>>8725840
it's like they cut their patterns with a butter knife and sew with dull needles

>>8724567
You can find Lee or H&M alternates in a stonewash or raw. Topman might have good stuff too.

What do

Where to buy fucking Dior jeans in
spoiler: Russia
?

tried on some 511s earlier.

they just don't look right to me, but i don't know why.

thoughts?

>>8727862
you're a little knock kneed, i've noticed 511's only look good on bowlegged guys

>>8727539
sew, duh

>>8727902
Fug

I'll get my mom to do it

>>8727548
Why Dior?

buy one pair of acne jeans or two jeans from a cheaper brand like nudie?

>>8728997
stay the fuck away from nudie

what acnes were you going to get?

>>8729007
Ace cash
Is nudie that bad?

>>8719776
acne man say
"dont"

so dont

>>8719776
With a light facial scrub followed by a moisturizer and exfoliater :^)

>>8719776
Soak for 45 minutes, inside out, under cool water in a bath tub. Use a gentle detergent like Woolite Darks, and rinse with cool water afterwards. Hang dry.

>>8727961
Because I know where to buy SLP and everything else.

So /fa/, Ive got a bit of a problem. I recently returned from half a year backpacking trip during which I lost 8kg weight, and a big part of that was my leg muscles (I had quite big quads and ass).
So the problem is the fit on my apc ps is so shit I can't wear them at all in public (too loose). They've got maybe 2 months worth of wear so I obviously haven't washed them yet. How much do you guys think a wash would cause them to shrink? Would it ruin muh fades forever?

>>8719690
ahahahaha

saying you want to save water on a fashion board is down right hypocrisy

>saving the planet with ethical choices tho
>saving money tho

>>8727548
From an online boutique; alternatively you could contact any of the fashion (or high-end denim) boutiques in Russia and ask them if they know of anyone who stocks them but who might not advertise online.
Also at least use your spoiler tags right, come on.
>Also, fuck Dior

>>8729189
Yes.

>>8731375
I doubt enough to get a good fit out of them, but you could always see - if the alternative is buying a new pair anyway, what's the harm?

>>8723397
Alright, maybe I'll wear them a bit more.
I suppose I just expected the lighter denim to be a bit more comfortable is all.

>>8731705
There is no official men's Dior in Russia, I asked people at boutiques.
