    Anyone have experience "re-dying" their jeans? Let's say I have a pair of black jeans that used to be jet black and now look like distant relatives of Ashy Larry. Can they be restored to their former glory? There's also a nice rip along the inside thigh thanks to frequent wear haha.

    I figured, just trying to salvage my $200 jeans I bought for a whopping $20 (or $10, can't remember) haha.

    Thanks

    I have the 201's... pretty baggy, compared to most of today's fits.  I use them as my camping / lawn cutting jeans, now. 

    Good price, but they have tiny front pockets and a very low rise.

    One of the things I enjoy about 100% cotton denim is the fades that occur over time through distress and wear.

    Can the same effect be achieved wearing jeans with stretch or elastane? Asking because I'm looking into a couple pairs of stretch denim because I like the cut but I want to have realistic expectations when it comes to the fades.

    I bought some raw acne studios from their new line. The north fit. Fits pretty good. Not skinny at all. Feels more like a slim fit.

    You just answered your own question... Check the measurements online and measure your best fitting jeans to see how they compare.

    My APCs need a soak. If I use hot water instead of cold will it shrink a littler? I want it to shrink. Only soaked it once before using cold water and a little woolite dark.

    Why not just fill a bucket with warm water and soak the jeans?

    Boiling may lead to major shrinkage.

    New to the thread an I've seen Leftfield NYC mentioned a few times, does anybody have any experience with their customer service or actually own a pair. I know their a bit pricey for newcomers but I'm seriously considering getting a pair of the Charles Atlas cut denim in black and getting them hemmed. All help is greatly appreciated
