/fa/ - Fashion

Anyone tried the seawater wash? kinda curious about that.

also OP's image looks like the most uncomfortable thing imaginable. imagining that episode of seinfeld where kramer buys skinny jeans.

Why does nobody ever talk about Gustin denim on any fashion forum/board ever? No fit pics or before/after evolutions and no testimonies for quality. Biggest fucking denim mystery ever.

Out of curiosity, how is the build quality on Unbranded jeans?

I heard that the denim itself was pretty good, but some source suggests that the build quality isn't the best.

>>8741320
/r/rawdenim is in love with gustin plenty of users there with 3+ pairs of gustin

>>8741144
sea wash is supposed to be pretty retarded and is known to fuck up ur jeans (crotch blowouts etc) more than help, no source but look it up a bit its pretty easily available

How to get high contrast fades when all you do is walk around campus and sit in class all day?

I recently copped a pair of nudie steady eddies for $60, dry blacks.

Not really liking the color atm, it's very flat. What can I do to make the fading process a bit faster?

>>8741121
OP wouldn't happen to know what cut of nudie jean that is?

I can't find anything similar on the website, but all signs point to it being an orange nudie jean selvedge

>>8741320
they never did skinny fits in their denim until now, even still i don't think anyone has fit pics of the new cut either

>>8741144
I always swim in a new pair of jeans and it really does break them in nicely.

they do wear a little quicker though. mine wear out in the crotch I'm sure someone with fatter legs will wear lower on the thighs.

my last levi 559s lasted two years of almost daily wear and I'm rough on my jeans too (climbing trees running and sitting and sliding on abrasive non-slip surfaces)

I also dont wash them unless it's really necessary

When did skinny jeans stop being high school emo kid tier and accepted into the mainstream? Or did it never stop? Example being Levis 514 used to be more widely acceptable than 511/510.

>>8741471
the concept of clothing that actually fits and doesn't disguise the body is relatively new in menswear. the 80s and the rise of baggy streetwear made the slim cuts of the sixties unattractive.

>>8741471
idk man, let me in that time machine that transported u from 2006 tho.

what kind of sneakers would be appropriate to wear with raw denim? i see them mostly worn with boots or smarter shoes, but could you wear, say, stan smiths with raws?

>>8741535
Hender Scheme Homage series.

>>8741414
you dont

>>8741545
rly pretty

>>8741389
Bump

...anyone?

>>8741144
Seawater wash is stupid and will not clean your jeans. After taking them in the ocean please wash them with detergent so you don't smell like seaweed.

>>8741389
Denim is ok but sheds the dye super fast so expect a lot of indigo bleed. Quality is hit and miss, but the company QC is pretty good so if anything goes wrong you can get it fixed.

>>8741545
leather quality is pretty meh for what you pay. Construction is also 9/10 which for 700$+ and no real way to return once purchased makes them pretty easy to pass over.

>>8741144
I can't imagine it doing more help than good.
>>8741389
It is OKAY, but as in the OP, might as well save up your money a bit more.
>>8741320
Because the cuts aren't that good.
We used to have Gustin discussion on here a while back, but the novelty kinda wore off since the cuts are all not very flattering.
>>8741414
Get a new hobby
(ull still get decent fades don't worry about it I am not sure what sik fades u r talking about)
>>8741422
Wash more often
>>8741444
I didn't realize it was nudie in the first place. Just grabbed it off google.
>>8741471
Weird how fashion works, eh?
You'll notice though that skinny doesn't always mean tight skinny, but more of a severe taper. I think that is the difference.
>>8741535
You can wear whatever you'd wear with normal.
For the first month though, might wanna stick to beaters or something since the dye will rub off on your shoes.

Thinking about getting some Iron Hearts anyone had any experience with them?

>>8742726
If the cut is good for you, go for it.

>>8742852
Do you think Momo's would be a better choice?

>>8742993
>>8742726
without knowing what kind of fit you're going for, what your body type is, your legs, etc etc it's damn near impossible to say "choose x over y" you see what i'm sayin?

>>8741121
I work in a warehouse on the weekends, should I wear my 0400sps there? I usually go out and party as soon as I'm off, and the rest of my time is spent on campus, so nothing else is really contributing to sikkkkk fadez.

>>8743005
Yea, i get what your saying, right now my best fitting jeans are some Naked and Famous Weird Guys in a size 28 if that helps.

Cop'd some N&F Elephant 4 skinny guys with 29 waist.

Hope it's not too fucking skinny

I live in the UK. What's the best place to cop raws?

I'm meeting a guy off the internet to buy his slim jim dry broken twill nudies but I'm worried about the waist. I'm a true 32" but the jeans are 28". He's asking $30 for them and I can probably knock him down to $20. Will they fit/stretch? I won't be able to try them on so its kind of a gamble. cop or not?

>>8741389
my favorite denim... they know how to make real good cuts for skinny IMO. I own 3 pairs. 2 denims, and one great quality selvedge chino.
I've recycled my UB201s and I currently wear my UB101s almost everyday.

I own more expensive denim, APC PS, weird guy N&F, and a pair of Momotaros... Now they just collec dust
I really just like Unbranded over all of those. Quality isn't superior but I just like the feel to it and the look.

>>8743624
Well you're the first person I see praising them like that.

I take it the quality is still pretty decent.

Their skinny cut is pretty similar to their tapered cut, according to the numbers.

Thoughts on buying used jeans that are in good condition with no visible wear?

>>8742726
personally i don't think any raw denim is worth more than $300 but that's just me

>>8743045
warehouse work will definitely get you some siq fadezz

>>8741320
their cuts are terrible and the 3+ month wait time is lame but if you aren't skelly they aren't so bad

>>8741535
all of them

>>8741545
these would be cool but they have that really ugly thing where the eyelets laces should be

>>8742726
i don't think any raw denim is worth more than $300 but thats just me

>>8743624
I read your post and was mildly interested in a pair, visited the site, then read the size chart - unbranded's skinnies are more like slims, for a tagged 28, 7.4" at the knee and 6.8" at the leg, bummer.

Which brand makes the best grey jeans between these 3: Edwin, Nudie or Acne? (Only brands available in my area)

I saw a video that said that sanforized denim usually shrinks a good 10% with the first soak or wash... is it true? if yes, how the fuck much does unsanforized denim shrink? 50%?

>>8743101
It doesn't really. Give your height, waist, thigh measurements and general build. Also do you like skinny, slim or relaxed fits ect.

>>8743706
I'm curious why don't you think any raws over $300 are worth it. Have you ever handled IH or samurai ect?

>>8746080
Depends on what kind of jean you are looking for. Personally I would go with ACNE but only because I know the cut on the Max Cash fits me perfectly

>>8746127
This is wrong sanfornized denim will usually shrink around 3%. Unsanfornized will shrink around 7%. Both of these will change from denim to denim though depending on the cotton used and how tightly it is woven.

>>8746148
Ideally I'd like to buy 2 pairs of raw denim jeans and one pair of grey jeans. As for the cuts, Slim Jim for Nudie, ed55 for Edwin and MAX for Acne. Only I don't know which brand I should buy the raw denim or grey jeans from.

>>8741389
I bought the slim straight in indigo, and grey and black tapered. I've long since chucked the indigo but still have the other two.

Denim quality is really, really nice for the price. Construction is the big problem though if you size wrong. If you get these jeans too small, expect to lose a button or two off the fly, dozens of reviews state the same.

I've had these jeans for fucking ever at this point and wear them a handful of times a month and neither has a tear anywhere besides the at the cuff.

>>8743555
Selfridges if you're in WM, flagship stores if you're near London

>>8746143
nah i haven't, thats why i said it's just me. i'm sure someone else can justify their price but i personally can't at this point in my life


>>8746127
no, unsanforized denim shrinks about one size depending upon the hotness of the wash and the amount of agitation. sandforized denim will only really shrink an inch or two in the waist and inseam.

>>8743538
Post pic when you get them I'm really interested.

Any hungry skellys own a pair of 3sixteen tapered that can post a pic? I kinda wanna cop a pair of either those or rogue Stantons, but I feel that the Stanton's are too slim to wear boots with.

>>8746436
This

>>8746436
I too would like to see this.

What do you do when they don't shrink enough? I'm way too scared to have some tailor hack at them.

>>8743618
no chance, just get some from ebay

Question about N&F SkinnyGuy sizing.

I'm like 30"-31" waist, currently I wear levis 511 at 32" but they feel like 3" too large.

Anyway I need to get some proper sized jeans, so should I get 29" or 30" waist on the skinnyguys?

Also I'm from Europe so I can't go try them out, and returning will cost a lot.

just got some APC ps in 29, wore them for a day and did some super physical activity in them.
waist ended up stretching from 30 to 34.

goddammit kanye

>>8747736
holy shit :(

I visited the uniqlo store today and am thinking of coppin' a pair of their skinny fit tapered jeans. on their website it says the dye process is repeated 10 times (srsly?); does that mean their denim is resistant to fading?

>>8748282
probably but idk if it's actually raw, my guess is no

>>8746892
cuff em bitch

>>8748282
thats just the one that say "japan fabric" which is sourced from kaihara denim mills

and the selvedge line which is decent

it confuses newbs

How is japan's blue's quality? I'm thinking of either getting that or naked and famous.

Also I have a pair of naked and famous weird guy that I got for $5 at the thrift store. They seem to be way too tight in the crotch although they're around my size. Should I keep wearing them or just give them to my brother

Have a few pairs of these:

http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=776324092&vid=1&locale=en_US&kwid=1&sem=false&sdReferer=

Love em.

>>8749026

that's just how n&f are. their rise is incredibly high so you'd have to have no nuts to wear them comfortably.

admittedly, i'm asian and i have trouble putting my nuts in them lol

>>8749026
sell them on ebay

used naked and famous denim sells for $30-40
used to be $100 ish but now they retail for much lower than they used to since that trend is done and over.

japan blue is much better than naked and famous

it's like asking which is better brand hype, candian pride marketing and silly images

or no frills japanese artisan quality denim

teenagers like naked and famous for the marketing, the silly sayings, and the candain production.

they don't like japa blue for the high price, the lack of logos and branding so their friends don't know its high end denim

>>8749099
accurate advice

>>8749086
thats disappointing. i was hoping I just needed to size up one more or maybe the guy who wore them before shrunk them too much. I tried wearing it lower on the crotch will help a little bit.

>>8749099
japan blue is ~110 on denimio. theyre even less than new N&F. I guess I'll just go for that.

this is surprisingly cheap too. cant figure out why

http://www.denimio.com/momotaro-jeans-1101sp-going-to-battle-label-10oz-selvedge-middle-straight.html?___SID=U

>>8749171
don't buy denim online
surefire way to get bad fit

> maybe the guy who wore them before shrunk them too much

denim doesnt just keep shrinking

if you get raw unsanforized denim it will shrink 10-15% upon soak/first wash and will shrink/expand as you wear and wash them

naked and famous isn't true raw denim it's treated at the factory be it with glow in the dark dye, or some other stupid hemp over dye or something whatever their gimmick of the week is

so the guy did nothing wrong

he prob just donated them because they were just shitty jeans with a bad cut

>>8741121
New to fashion scene here. Where do I get a pair of raw denims for under $200? Just looking for a basic pair of blue denims.

>>8749234
>>8741121
Just realised I asked exactly what the thread says. Still interested though if anyone can help me out.

>>8749234
N&F , Unbranded, Nudie, Gustin

>>8749271
Thanks, appreciate it.

>>8749234
japan blue. literally the best under $200 denim out there in my opinion. $125 from denimio. free shipping.

>>8749432
International shipping worldwide? Australian by the way. I'm looking out for a raw denim jacket too.

Anyone ever get a pair of denim that was too right around the legs? I'm thinking about doing a warm soak and stretching them out but im worries I'll make the denim uneven. I know if enough time passes without me washing them they'll losen up but that could take upwards of a year.

>>8749646
if you wear them everyday theyll probably loosen up pretty quick

>>8749684
Even if they're not raw denim? Right now I'm wearing them while I sleep to break them in.

>>8749690
you can just try being active with them too. itll stretch it faster

>>8749432
Heard that while japan blue were pretty well made, the cuts weren't all that great for westerners.

How do their cuts compare to naked and famous cuts?

>>8741144
It's a novelty thing some people like to do, can lead to cool fades, etc., but if you don't wash them in freshwater afterwards you'll be leaving salt in the fabric, which can erode (NOT corrode) the cotton. This is what people why some people experience ocean washes "speeding up" the blowout process. This comment on the subreddit is pretty good:

http://www.reddit.com/r/rawdenim/comments/20kim2/supposedly_reddit_is_where_ocean_washes_freezing/cg4fx97?context=3

It's actually a great sub if you can handle raw denim redditors.

>>8741389
I have UB101s and I love the fit. It's an actual narrow-opening type of skinny that doesn't have a flair at the bottom, fits me perfectly. The build quality is good, they have hidden rivets and flat-felled inseams just off the top of my head (not wearing them now). The denim itself is good but nothing special, loses indigo quickly (especially the 21 oz ones), and my cuffs are starting to wear through the bottom both front and back on both legs. Great starter pair, I've had them since January. You guys know they're a N&F duffusion line, right?

>>8746436
Bump for this.

Should I cop a pair of Japan Blue JB0716?
And anyone know how much these would stretch/shrink (Non wash ones)

>>8749171
>denimio
Can't thank you enough for bringing up that store.

Christ their prices are low.

>tfw when it's been too hot ad your raws have gone unworn for 3 months.

>>8749086
What the fuck are you talking about. N&F has incredibly low rise in all of their cuts except the weird guy high which isn't produced anymore. They are meant to be worn low on the hips for a proper fit.

>>8749180
You're fucking retarded sieg if you know your measurements buying online is super easy. Unsanfornized will shrink 7-10% there is no way you are finding demin that will shrink 15% even if you washed on hot and machine dried.

N&F has a ton of gimmicky fabrics but they also have "true" raw denim. Just the construction is pretty subpar compared to other jeans in the given price range.

>>8749690
are they 100% cotton?

>>8751439
They are sanfornized so shrinkage will be minimal ~3% after the first wash. Japan Blue has a pretty tight weave so I wouldn't expect them to stretch out after.

>>8752487
lol nigga chill, i made a mistake and meant low rise instead.

but regardless, n&f are just tight as shit in the crotch.

I got kinda big legs because of oat and squats, what brand and cut of denim would you people recommend me?

Anyone know how to get mustard out of my jeans? It's a decently big stain and I'm pretty pissed (also I already tried a cold water rinse in my washing machine.)

>>8752619
I'm just like you and buy jeans to fit my thighs first. your choices:

uniqlo ($)
levi's ($$)
japan blue ($$$) see --> >>8749432
acne ($$$)

>>8753239
Duuuude, thank you! If this works you're a life saver.

>>8753239
Which cut do you recommend from japan blue?

Their slim tapered looks nice on paper.

bump
I don't want this thread to die

>>8741389
Small details are what suffers sometimes - slightly misstiched leather patch and stuff like that. I had my top button pop off after maybe 12 months but I sized too small. They say they're sanforised but shrink in the wash, even cold water btw

>>8743618
Nudies do not stretch 4 inches. My thin finns stretch about 1 and a half to 2 depending on how warm / washed / humid it is

Is APC the best "non dark" raw denim?

I have two pair of Unbranded(I get a big discount) and a fair of N&F, but I like the lighter almost waxed look of A.P.C denim

>>8748282
Didn't manage to cop raw uniqlos but got some non-raw kaihara ones and can vouch for build quality. Similar to nudies.

posted pic before. still wonderin

I kinda want these to have a smaller leg opening. APC PS 29. Would it be a bad idea to get em tailored? I'm already planning on getting these hemmed an inch or two, but kinda wondering if I can get these tapered without ruining the fit and maybe the selvedge if possible. Calves fit tight so Im not really sure if its entirely possible.

If not i'll probably try and get a PNS and just get these hammed.

>>8758744
forgot pic lal

>>8758751
Roll the cuffs up another roll. Show off dat selvedge

>>8758778
i've been doing that lately, not really into big cuffs. I like small cuffs

Post your fades
Ub201s, washed twice, first at 1 year second at 18 months
Probably worn for almost 2 years now.

need input brehs

>>8741471

Europe, man. The good news is it makes you broader and more v shape as long as you aren't skeletor or fat legs.

>>8758956
if the calves fit tight, keep in mind that PNS will fit even tighter. for whatever reason, the leg opening is always listed as 6.5 similar to the PS, but in reality it always 6.25 inches.

just keep wearing your PS and the calves will stretch out, i had a similar problem but they stretched out fine. also the stacks look a little messy, so i'd recommend hemming them to maybe 32. you can tell your tailor to hem from the outseam (or maybe inseam i forgot lol, look this shit up) to keep the selvedge line.

nice bruh.

>>8759268
i sized down 2 for these PS, i might try sizing down 1 for PNS.

Calves are maxed out i think lol. can somewhat see the stitches on the side.

I really wanna try and fix the stacks without hemming but i don't know how

thanks for input

>>8759373
What's the waist size?

Thread save

Anybody recommend some jeans that won't fade as bad as raws? I'm not sure where to cop any dark wash jeans.

>>8751190
Thanks for the rec bruh, these will be my first raws

>>8741121
APC petite standard or APC new petite standard?

Anybody own a pair of 3Sixteen in the slim-tapered cut?
I'm really thinking of getting a pair of ST-120x's, but I cannot get a good read on the fit on these things. Leddit is so inconsistent on what constitutes as a good fit for jeans. A lot of them seem fucking huge on some guys, but here is this one and this guy looks great on them and they look actually slim tapered, same with another few guys.
I really have been wanting to grab a pair of these because a lot of the fades look awesome, but being on the skinny side, I don't wanna dive into these that quick without making sure I won't be swimming in them.

I copped a pair of N&F skinny guy deep indigo from blueowl but the measurements are not like the ones on the website... the waist is one incher larger and the thigh is half inch tighter
I'm okay with these measurements, too(for the waist I just need a belt, for the thigh it is even better if it is smaller), but just to know, how much shrinkage should I expect in the waist from the first wash?

>inb4 return them
returning them will cost me half the money the jeans costed ;_;

>>8761942
if they're raw they'll stretch before they shrink
n&f is for skinny fats anyways

>>8761878
PS has a bit more of a taper in the knee and leg opening, where the NPS has a roomier knee and leg opening. Just depends on what you want. If you are a hungry skelly, go for PS, if you want something a little roomier, go for new PS
>>8761942
If the measurements are off, email blue owl about it and see if they'll meet you half way on exchanging them for a pair with better measurements. Just snap some pics measuring with their guide because that is usually how they measure.

Shrinkage won't be a big deal because they will stretch back out pretty quick to the size you bought them at anyways. If anything, you should be worried about stretch in the waist imo, but wearing a belt will be fine.

>>8761966
What does that even mean m8?
They are jeans

I need a pair of ~$100 slim black jeans which I can wear for a couple months before I can afford something nicer.
Where should I look? I have a 28' leg and 29' waist so its very difficult to find stuff in my size, and getting 6 inches hemmed ends up looking awkward

>>8762008
Just get Levi's m8

>>8762011
Or Uniqlo

>>8761997
meaing if you bought raw demin you should wear them without washing them for a minimum of 6 months depending on the weight of the jean
and i mean that naked and famous cater to more average guys aka skinny fat dudes

>>8762017
everything in Uniqlo has fucking 34' inseams, otherwise I'd go for it. How are the Levi 522s? True to size? I hear that the Levi fit pics are inaccurate a lot of the time

>>8762041
or the 511s, I don't really know the difference between them all

>>8762059
Levi's tend to be pretty unpredictable from my experience

boutta wash my raws today. Should I worry about staining my bathtub or anything? Or should I just do it in some plastic tub?

>>8762099
I have never had my bathtub stained, but if you have a large tub it wouldn't hurt.

>>8741121
raw denim is dadcore

>>8741121
I'm skinny-fat. I wanted to buy a pair of mid-tier raw denim like 3-sixteens/apc/japan blue but I'm not sure if that's wise since I plan on picking up running. I wanted to buy UB's but the low rise kinda puts me off. I'm mainly looking for "cheap" mid-rise raw denim I can wear with a slightly cropped jacket

>>8763092
Uniqlo's japan blue line maybe. (not a collab just a name)

>>8762823
Suggest better that isn't black skinny jeans plz because black skinny jeans=nu fedora

>>8763466
wat?

>>8763466
anything

>"i buy raw denim because prefaded jeans are retarded. yeah youre suppose to no care about them at all

>"hurr how to get fast fades so its like prefades
>"is it safe to wash muh denim
>"whats the quality of all the cheaps ass brands

what a retarded base

>>8763503
>suggest better then for nonskinny black jeans
>"anything"
wow stopped reading there are you just here to shitpost or what?

>>8763510
denim threads consist of shitposts are you retarded or what

>>8763515
Only shitpost I see right now is your post m8.
It is cool if you don't like a thing but don't be a dick about the thing you don't like :)

>>8761966
lol no problem in this case, I'm skinnyfat and I'll bulk during the upcoming year, so I hope I'll manage to "fill" the jeans better :)

>>8761974
eh, as I said the real measurements aren't a big problem, and in any case shipping the jeans from Italy to the USA will cost me €60(while I just paye [25 to have them shipped from USA to Italy) :/

>>8763551
kind of hard to distinguish shitposts in a sea of retards m8 :)

>>8763503
I wish more people bought fitting jeans rather than this loose shit. That really doesn't work on anyone.

I'm thinking of getting a pair of the japan blue jb202 in the non-wash. do you think I should get them true to size or size up one?

>>8763503
w2c coat?

>>8741121
How does Naked and Famous sizing compare to Levi's sizing? Is a super skinny guy a 510?

>>8764612
They're similar.

How the fuck do I prevent indigo from getting all over the fucking place? The bottom of my shirts are turning blue, the tops of my shoes are turning blue, my car seat is turning blue, my computer chair is turning blue, my couch is fucking turning blue. It's gotten so bad I don't want to wear my raws anymore.

>>8748282
I recently bought a pair of their slim selvedge jeans in navy. However, I don't like the fit. I got them in 31 waist and 32 length. but they just aren't tapered enough for me.

Anyone know where to cop some decent skinnies? Unbranded sounds like a start.

Are just jeans any good?

>>8764671
Wash them, idiot.

wore jeans before last summer a little to much in the warmth and they smell kinda sweaty so they've just been sitting on my desk for a few months. how do i eliminate the smell short of washing them? i'd also rather clean them a little without washing

Which black denim is better, APC Petit Standard or Acne Max Cash?

>>8741583

>>8762025
This is 100% wrong.
