Hi All,
I recently purchased my first pair of RAW Denim. Went for the Edwin ED-71s but after wearing them a few times I have to honestly say I'm not enjoying them as much as was i was hoping to. Still prefer my Uniqlos at the moment!
Firstly, the outer seam on the right leg appears to curve at the bottom. I'm not sure if this is a defect of the cut, of shortening the denim (cuff was chain stitched back on), or the shape of my right leg! Gets pretty annoying as it does not fall nicely on shoes. Any ideas what might be the cause?
As you can see from the two images below the left leg falls as you'd expect, but the right leg appears to curve forward.
Left leg (normal):
Right leg (curves):
Other question I have is regard to the length. You'll note that the turnup is pretty big at the moment. Was told by the guy at the (specialist denim) store that its at the correct length because with time the denim would bunch up behind the knees and raise the fit. Ideally I'd like to be able to wear them two ways: (i) minimal break with no turnup; and (ii) no break with small turnup. I've never washed the denim and was not planning to for quite a while. When I do eventually wash them will they shrink enough to achieve the fit I am after? I understand they are sanforized which means minimal, if any, shrinkage.
Any thoughts appreciated!
