Can you guys recommend raw denim with a slim (not skinny) thigh and a tapered leg?
I was looking at APC new cure or N&F weird guy?

 

[soleasian]

You should look into APC NS or PS if you want a drastic taper.
NC is just slim in general.

 

[melofan15]

Are NS supposed to fit snug at first? I know the general consensus is to size down on them but I tried on my normal size and they were still a bit tight.

Size down 2 from your true waist size. It'll stretch back in about a month

Apcs stretch A LOT

What are some good jeans to wear with chunkier kicks like barkelys speed turfs etc.

I'd look into some straight slim cut denim. Get the "fitted" look in the thigh and the opening should be enough to fit over basketball kicks. It all depends on the look you're going for and the size of your shoes.

On another note. So I'm a 32 and I picked up a pair of 33 Unbranded Skinnys. I've had them for about a week. They went from uncomfortably tight to they fit but are still kind of tight. Anyone know of any ways to accelerate the stretching process besides just wearing them around the house to break them in? My RRL slims were like this when I first got them, but now they're pretty loose fitting. The Unbranded Skinnys are a heavier denim though so I'm concerned I may not get as much stretching.

Unbrandeds don't stretch much bro.

The more you size down, the more they stretch.

Recommended care for 514's?

Recommended care for 514's?

Just throw them in the washer on warm. Light tumble dry or hang dry. I love 514s cause they require very low maintenance but are among my best fitting denim.

Do you guys soak your raws before wears? My first pair were uncomfortable as sin when I tried to wear them without soaking first, I'm guessing because of the heavy starch still in them. Gonna pick up a pair of nudies soon and I wanna know if I should soak them or not. Also I've gathered that you stay TTS or size down one with nudies?

Anybody ever get their levis 514 tapered?

I checked a few other forums and this seems to be the general census. I'm committed to wear them daily until I have some breathing room.

thanks. I guess I'll just suffer through the break in period

I feel your pain bro.

I have a pair sitting in my closet I've been considering doing this to.

Idk about Nudies but the atarch in the first few months is essential to setting deep creases to get defined fades and contrast. This is essentially why raws should be worn for six or more months before washing/touching water

Anybody I got a few pairs sitting in my closet and I tried on the 513 and liked the fit but I don't wanna buy any just to have the 514's sitting in my closet

Anyone wear Nudie Thin Finn? I really want the Superused Grey pair, but EVERYWHERE is sold out, but found a pair 1 size bigger than what I actually wear.. I usually wear 33x34, but luckily found a 34x34.. just wondering is this a huge difference? Noticeable difference? Will it shrink if I washed them?

RIP

Went there and raised hell. Police were called, smh.

Never got my money back due to "fine print" on the receipt.

Anyone had a pair of Ruell & Ray denim?

 

[legreyfoxx]

you might have to get those stitched up but it might not be as effective as patching them up. i did however find this photo though.

google denim crotch blowouts and see what others might've done to fix it.
