I have a jean...(The Ultimate Jean Thread For Beginners) - ask questions here. - Page 857

No, the inseam alone allready shrinks 2 to 3 inches when you hotsoak them.

So more is better- thanks

yeah, i think whoever is holding the tag is covering up the last zero. currently, they are like $2,100 usd.

Not to split hairs, but the Oni Shoais aren't currently in production. There were 2 runs of that model, but they are both sold out, and there aren't currently any concrete plans for a third.

Another jean currently in production that could be in the discussion for one of the nicest jeans around, especially for those who don't want the overwhelming slubbiness of the PBJ AI models, is the Studio D'Artisan D1507. It's natural indigo, and it has the SD-103 cut, one of the most well-regarded out there for higher-end denim.

i think they do a run of the shoais each year. bigs first run was in 07', or maybe it was late 06' ... i forget. last time i ask big about them they said they hope they are this year. im not sure what that means.

Not worth it? Every thing comes at a price, and although I won't shell out 2000 dollars on a pair of jeans, this is no ordinary pair of jeans though. You do not only pay for the jeans itself, but also for the hard labour that's put into it, let alone the details and craftsmanship that's litterally dripping of the jeans when you look at it. This is premium with a capital P.

Handpicked cotton, natural indigo dye that's produced by Rampuya itself, hand dyed, hand woven on wooden looms (of which are only two in the world) and a production time of a year, to name just some parts of what makes this an exquisit product.

So, while it costs a lot of money, I'm sure the price reflects what you get for it.

Yes, more is better in case of Levi's STF. Just take shrinkage and stretch in account when you decide to buy a pair. Waist often shrinks between 1 and 1.5 (sometimes 2) inches. For the inseam you're better of getting them too long and getting them hemmed afterwards, then buying "the right" size, just to find out your jeans are too short after a hotsoak. Inseam often shrinks between 2 and 3 inches.

According to the website, the first run was in late '06. I think the second run was last year.

Bought some weird guys and want to buy some slim jims as well.

I bought size 31 in the Weird Guy and like the fit. Tight, but not too tight.

Not sure what size to get in the slim jims. Im thinking 31 so they will not be skin tight but form fitting.
Im looking for something almost skin tight, but not so where I can barely breath.

Sot sure hot to size in Nudies after doing some research.
I could probably go with a 30 in the Weird Guy but it would be too tight and uncomfortable.

Do you think I should get the Slim Jims in 31

Hi all,

Some friends of mine have some really nice looking jeans. I've been out shopping with them (never bought myself, though) and they buy what they call "raw denim" jeans. One of my buddies will shell out like 200+ dollars for the jeans.

I really like how the jeans look and I'm interested to learn more about them. The problem is that I don't know where to begin; there's just so much information out there. I've tried doing a bit of reading but it's difficult to string information together from here and there.

I'm a 34x36 so it's hard enough to find jeans that fit well enough. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on some possible good quality brands of jeans, perhaps even if possible in varying price ranges (for instance a few brands that are cheaper, moderately expensive, and expensive).

Finally, has anyone had experience shopping on e-bay for their jeans? I've been looking around and the deals seem really great! The whole buying online thing has always been a bit nerve-racking though, for me.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I have a pair of Slim Jims and they do stretch quite a bit. When I first got them they were skin tight but after two weeks, there's almost an inch of excess fabric when I stand up and pull at the thigh. The general rule of thumb is to size down 1 for Nudies so if you're normally a 32, get a 31.

Ok so I have one person saying to size up the waist and one saying not to. Can I get a tiebreaker vote?

I am a 32-32/34 is most pairs of jeans so I am thinking either a 32-38 or a 34-38.

P.S. I am having trouble with the free shipping promo on Levis. I am getting the 15% off the jeans but not the free shipping. Anyone know how to fix it.
