DIRRRRTY DENIM

[$helby]

yea, the waist on these is way to big now, i wish i would have bought a smaller size.

oh well, we shall see what happens

[Underpants]

buy a new pair, put the new tags on the old jeans after you soak them, and return them.

Shelby, febreeze and hang them outside, inside-out works well. if not, freeze em.

[Dreizehn]

I've never had a pair of H&M raws but the same thing goes for APCs. After a wash/soak, they feel great. But give them 2hrs of wear and they're almost back to stretched-mode. Too thin, but I love the fit of APCs so why am I complaining?

I've only starched them three times but with about a week of wear without starching, the starch is pretty weak. I think the APCs are like 12-13oz. Are the H&Ms similar? I love me some 17oz, though. I've never had 19oz or 21oz'ers. Those things must be sick.

[Underpants]

the H&M's are thin as ****. i don't even have anyhting to compare them to.

so if i was a noob to raw jeans what would you guys suggest for a good cheap pair?

Doesn't matter what kind you get as long as you like them and feel good wearing them everyday.

i got a pair of dc raw selvage jeans on karmaloop for around $60 on sale. they were like these:

except the straight leg instead of the 'loose'. they're nice. the only thing i wasn't super pumped about is the ones i got have a big dc logo stitched on the one back pocket. but it's not that bad. they're super comfy now and starting to wear pretty decently.

[PlaiDub]

i'd go apc. you'll end up buying a few pairs of cheep ones or one pair of nice ones, might as well start off right.

those are awesome. i just shot them an email about pricing.

[Dreizehn]

If you want the indigos, just order from denimbar with the styleforum code.

I'm not sure if DB has them yet - might wanna call. You can get the indigos for like $112-115 shipped, versus $140+shipping.

[monosylabik]

what's the styleforum code?

[Underpants]

style4um, i think.

[Dreizehn]

gonna keep beating these ****ers to a ****

[monosylabik]

**** yeah dude, nice. what are the ones on the right? they look crispy new.

[Dreizehn]

both are NS

I think I've worn the ones on the right twice. I threw them on a few times just to get them to stretch a bit around the house, but I've had them for a while. Could've sold them a while ago, I guess. I'm liking the black NS right now.

They could be getting harder wear. Sitting on a leather chair all day doesn't do much for them and my jeans don't get as hard of a wear as they used to when I hanged in the city. My Levi's are getting some good wear because I wear them when I'm working on my house. The NS are gonna get some of that, soon.

[dub-ghord]

im gettin pretty bored w/ my nudies right now... i wear them pretty much everyday... and have worn them pretty much everyday for the past 8 months and the only wear is in the booty region and a little vertical fades.

i want a pair of flathead 3001s if anybody wants to buy them for me

[Dreizehn]

I know what you mean, man.

flatheads are dope! I'm looking into a pair of canes as we speak...might have to dig into the snowboarding fund for them - tough decision.

[only euro]

well my favorite pair of raw jeans would have to be the Japanese raw denim from uniqlo.

i use the same method as mono

[gotta_jet]

cuff them...they'll still bleed though.

[pschmerg]

Unless you're splashing around in puddles, or you have heavy ankle sweating issues it's not that big of a deal. I have some indigo tint on my AM 90s, no big deal though. As long as you have the jeans on it can't be seen

agreed.

i don;t wear white leather shoes.

i like the way jeans bleed on my wallabees/light colored vans.
