good afternoon sf! first post here...please don't trash me for starting a new thread. i'm a noob that has been reading a lot here \t
. didn't really find anything on onvis so i figured why not!
anyhow...here's my first foray into the realm of raw/selvage denim. i've been wearing sfam jeans and whatnot for a while not, and was intrigued by this new raw/selvage denim i keep seeing around. did some searching around here and stumbled on a list of affordable raws so i jumped on it! (no i don't work for onvis, or anyway affiliated with them). not really a fan of super skinny jeans, and the pictures on onvis' website looked good, but no one has really said anything about onvis here, so i took the plunge and ordered a pair. they came DHL yesterday and i wore them out to the bar last night and to run some errands today. figured id show you guys some pics.
first of all...after wearing "premium denim" such as sfam i was mighty impressed by the workmanship of these when i opened up the torn package i received from DHL. stitching and detailing seems top notch to me! i normally wear a size 30-31 depending on stretch of said denim, but after measuring out some of my worn in denim decided to order a size 29. they're a bit snug when i first put them on, but after a few hours of moving around they've gotten a little less snug and are starting to feel great.
here's some pics:
anyway, for 75bucks i'm happy with my purchase. one thing that does bug me is the button fly, not that big a deal, just takes an extra minute to button the jeans after visiting the bathroom. although im wondering if i should have them hemmed as i normally am between a 29/30 on the inseem, and these come in 34. however i keep reading some people suggest letting them wear to get nice fades before hemming too much. what is your opinion sf? should i cuff them for now? or just wear them normally?
