Beat the ish out of your denim with wear. Some people starch high stress areas after washing or when the denim softens up and loses starch (ie bottom of jeans where there are stacks, honey combs, and possibly the whisker area). Blood, sweat, tears, and high humidity are your best bet. Other people cycle/ride/skate with their denim, but with cycling you run the risk of early blowouts in the crotch and other random areas.

Edit: Starching can run the risk of extra holes due to abrasion. I know it's not natural, but maxpower on sufu has been doing that for years with high contrast results.

This how jeans are supposed to look

Nice work.

 

[newgodflow]

Thank you sir.. My job allows me to wear jeans so I wear these all day/7 days a week. I'm at 7 months of daily wear, going to give them a break when my Onis come in tomorrow.

I really like the fit of N&F Skinny Guys, but I hate how they fit in the crotch area.

I feel like I always have cameltail.

I thought guys wearing pants that displayed the meat print was the trend now. At least I thought it was on nt.

Anyone have any experience with PBJ xx-012?  Not sure how different the sizing is between raw and one wash is or how much stretching/shrinkage to expect.  I'm sz 31 in APC PNS and thinking of pulling the trigger on a sz 32 one washed, thoughts?

Use blue in green's measurement charts and compare to your PNS measurements...

 

[mrmofoness]

No experience with pbj, but take newgodflow's advice using blue and green. Check how they measure jeans and measure your best fitting pair. This is the most efficient way of figuring out what currently fits you. You could input your measurements in "rawr denim scout," google it to search for denim.

Googling "pbj-xx-012 sizing" has some good results as well.

Good old pair of Ramblers, $70 bucks from Saks Fifth Off

 

[milzirks]

Any levis specialists here know what these are? They're dungarees with buckle on the back I got for 15 and sold em for 60$ in less than 12 hours.

 

[mrmofoness]

You got pictures of Levi's back pocket tag?

 

[foamtothedome]

Crazy how much my nudies have stretched in a month, started at a 34 they feel like they're a 38 now

however the fade is coming in buenos 

 

[Bruce Banner]

Damn you're scaring me ^^

 

[newgodflow]

Got my Oni 512s in yesterday from Denimio, soaked them for 30 minutes today and wow having a 6.25 inch leg opening is so weird lol Really used to my relax fit Iron Hearts and even my APC PS at my size 31 don't have this kind of taper... The slub is insane and I cannot wait to fade these

 

[milzirks]

It doesnt have the red tag.

 

[mrmofoness]

 
It doesnt have the red tag.

So orange tag? You want to look for LEVI'S ("big E," pre 1971) vs LeVI'S ("small e," 1971+). Big E's are where the money's at I believe.

And in regards to Nudie's stretching, have you been wearing a belt? 

Also, nice Oni pickup! 6.25 opening is small!

Yeah.... Idk how I feel about it to be honest.. Kinda wish I got the 517s which have a 7 inch leg opening like my APCs but oh well, they fit great.

 

[newgodflow]

That pink selvedge though [emoji]128520[/emoji]

 

[DonRafa]

6.25" leg opening is where it's at though
