i recently bought some 5EP jeans, 34x32
they do not fit very well, but they are excellent jeans.
I also bought some nudie jeans
i got the following
rigid straight 5ep for 82.50
nudie regular ralf for 66
nudie grim tim for 53
the fits are all not bad, but i wish i got a 32 in the 5EP
I would like to return or sell one, because i have spent too much money.
i have thought about returning the 5ep jeans but the denim is excellent, and i think despite the slight largeness i may keep them and return/sell a pair of the nudie jeans i have bought.
also what do i do with the tag and the red string attatched to the 5EP jeans? do i just leave it attatched.
also do you think i should sell them or return them?

Keep the red string on the 5Ep patch, it represents something significant that godmother explained once, but I have since forgotten.

but don't keep the jeans. If they don't fit very well, there's your answer. I got a pair of 30s that I returned because I probably needed a 29 or 28. You will be happier with a correctly sized pair, even if they are more expensive.

Agreed, I had two pairs of 5EP that never fit right. I loved the denim and construction but I couldn't deal with the imperfect fit, so they've been sold.

seems like a shame i dont think ill ever get them for 82.50 again or even near that. =/Originally Posted by avalemik
anyways advice on return or should i sell them?
Not sure which 5ep you got but typically they don't run true to tagged size. It's help to know what you usually wear and what exactly you mean by they "don't fit very well." If you keep them, you can get rid of the tag but keep the strings. The strings have a deeper philosophical/religious meaning that just being a couple of loose ends. Besides, they add something to the jean.

do you know the meaning of the string? and how i can get rid of the tag w/o damaging the string or the jeans.
also if i do not keep the jeans, should i return them, or try to sell them?
they are as big as a good society straight jeans, but very slightly smaller at the leg opening, still i wish it was a bit smaller at the leg opening
however the denim quality is around my KMW rockers, much better than my nudie jeans.
I think i could live with the waist size even though i would prefer a 32 waist.
for instance i were a 33/34 thin finn and it fits well
im fairly flexible in sizing, i like 32/34 inseam, and a 31/34 waist,
i have a 31waist 32 inseam for nudie straight sven
i have a 33 /34 for a thin finn
and i have some rockers that are 32/34
they all fit fairly well
here is the link to the ones i got

here are some pictures of my dilemma
// i do where a belt when i wear my jeans but there is a lot of waist room
also i do not want to be stepping on my jeans, they may go better with some mid/high top sneakers.
but here is a picture with some low top creative recreation sneakers i just got on the mail.
also please feel free to give your thoughts on the sneakers
, i myself question if i like them.
34x32 rigid 5ep straight jeans

Red string has a bit to do with bringing good luck to the wearer.
You might want to get an interest check here first to see if anyone would like to buy those jeans before returning them.
The leg opening can be made smaller by a tailor.

How much is "a lot of waist room?" Do you need a belt to wear them or else they fall off?
The "stepping on your jeans" problem can also be fixed by a tailor who could shorten the inseam.
My honest advice is this: if the jeans don't fit, return them. You can make alterations in the length very easily but not in the waist without a LOT of effort.
Jeans should be about fit first, denim second. Always. Otherwise, what's the point of wearing them if you're not happy about how they look on you?
