You might not get the length back though. yeah, I'm happy RRL has died down. I was pissed when they started selling online and opening up shops everywhere. I think at one point they had 3 or 4 shops in NY. anywho... it seems like people are just wearing dorky chrome hearts (which for sure died when every Dominican bought the trucker hat with their FPUC unemployment checks) stuff and designer mixed with vintage. chrome hearts is traaash in my opinion...its basically glorified true religion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metronome Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 10 hours ago, glorydays said: are there any brands you look at besides uniqlo for selvedge if you were to get back into it? I wanna try grabbing some wesc used to do reasonable selvedge, not sure if they still make them or not but I've got a few pairs. Also have a few pairs of N&F, 1 pair of RRL and 1 pair of Diesel's. Of them all my favourite are prob the N&F. Also came across "Unbranded" but I have never worn them, so can't comment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glorydays Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 PROJECT JEANS @CLICKCLACKONER So I just got them today. What are the rules again? I wear them first, and THEN soak? And, bro, they are the most uncomfortable thing on my legs right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLICKCLACKONER Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 @glorydays Sounds weird but hop in the shower with room temp water for about 5-10 min. you'll prolly look like a smurf from the waist down. let it hang dry. Once dry you good to go. It will still be stiff but it will soften after a few wears. what brand and fit did you end up copping? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awwyeeeee Hoo doggy it's been a while. I'm glad I got over the denim/selvedge addiction although I still prefer (and still wear mostly) raws. Working an office job put a halt to my wearing raws until the pandemic hit so now I'm wearing them while I work from home. Sold my N&F's, Railcar, Momotaro x Blue Owl, some MIJ/MII Dior and SLP.

Damn fucking tough finding deadstock black 2013/2014 MIJ D02's now but lucked out on an AW15 deadstock pair. Looking forward to not fuck these up like I did my AW13 pair.

I know it's late, but I prefer to soak first so that the jeans do that lil bit of shrinking to where you'll actually start getting the honeycombs and whiskers. You can always starch the shit out them with some Faultless if you want the stiffness back although they say starch chokes the cotton blah blah blah.

swif1 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 @glorydaysHaha don't be! When the fashion bug bit, I felt it was "necessary" to have a pair for different looks/fits. It took a couple years before I found the right pairs that were pre-distressed to my liking. They don't fit anymore because of my weightloss so now I have to sell them 🤷🏻♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swif1 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) @glorydaysNot 100%, no, although I find myself wearing my raws more often. I didn't realize it until I noticed my chair got darker from the dye transfer haha. Left pair is 100% cotton I wear for a more formal look that I had the crotch reinforced and tapered from the knee down; right pair 98% cotton 2% elastane for a more casual look and light staxx with a crotch repair plus reinforced. It used to look like the pair on the left too. I can't do anything more than 13oz in this weather otherwise I'd get a heatstroke. Had 15oz fuckers for a while but I had to put in some work to get them fades in. Saw this second pic on Reddit and shit had me dying.

I was going to pull the trigger on a pair of black raw MIJ's from Celine because Hedi but I came across a pair of SLP from AW15 that actually just arrived today. It's not as skinny as the AW13 pair I have, but I can dig it and I get to start over again with that nice luxe sheen. I like the Dior selvedge jawns I got and how it's incorporated elsewhere on the pant but it can be seen as "loud" but fuck 'em.

swif1 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 @LUGRPic is a couple months old. I had them unaltered until I lost weight to hem them to a length I'd like. I eventually got them hemmed, but did not anticipate continuing to lose more weight hence they're for sale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
