my jeans have a pretty wide leg opening a la "NT Denim" lol and I usually cuff so no staxxx on my 3sixteen's and 2 pairs of my RRL's.
I hemmed and tapered the RRL's pictured above but I went the n00b/ cheap route and got the taper done through my local dry cleaner/ alteration AZN spot. I told her specifically I wanted the taper on the inseam and the bitch did it on the outside thus no more selvedge line. I almost shed a tear. fuck I'm still pissed to this day.
For the hem job, I had it done at the RRL store on W Broadway and they fucked that shit up as well, the chainstitch was all over the place, prolly cuz the denim was still raw without first soak.
My other pair of RRL's that I hemmed and tapered, I went though a shop called Loren in Greenpoint Brooklyn. Top notch job and I get all my alterations and repairs through them. a bit pricey for the taper ($75) but the piece of mind of having it done the right way was worth it.
Does anybody have any experience with black denim? My 3sixteens are black but I gained some weight and they've been sitting on ice after only a couple of wears. gives me motivation to lose this covid weight. I wonder if it will fade gray or brown.... need answers.
