I have a jean...(The Ultimate Jean Thread For Beginners) - ask questions here. - Page 1133

I have a quick question. I just got some robert geller jeans, and they are just a bit too big in the waist and thigh area. This is based on my first wear of them right out of the box. They are not raw denim. Will they still stretch to get even bigger? I was going to bring them to my tailor to taper them, but I wanted to know if I should wash them first to see how much they shrink. Is washing them still not recommended even if they are not raw?

The fabric in those jeans is 5% polyurethane. I am not sure if or how much polyurethane stretches or shrinks, so I couldn't tell you specific answers to your questions.

One thing I can say is that those jeans don't look like they are colored with a fading dye, so you could probably wash them without really affecting the color of the denim.

I had a pair of Uri Geller jeans once, you could bend them in order to make them fit.

Hey guys I am interested in trying to find a unique pair of jeans and came across these Sammies.

Any idea of what to expect when Weft is made of #5 thickness 100% Japanese Washi paper.. with the fades? Any examples of a pair of denim faded with the paper? And also does it lessen the durability of the denim when paper is used instead of cotton?

I'm looking for a pair of solid black selvage jeans similar to this pair of nudies with a selvage line.

Any recommendations other than N&F?

haha.. lol8[1].gif they can also read people's minds! btw... given all the horror of "washing" jeans with anything but water I am going to invent the world's first denim dry autoclave for disinfecting jeans! (this post shall also serve as copyright and patent notification for my future riches!)

Hey guys. Just got my petite standards. I usually am a 30 in jeans and chinos, and I got a size 28. They are so tight it is ridiculous. I can get them up too my waist, but can't button any of the buttons. They are also very tight around my thighs. Will these stretch to fit well, or should I go with a size 29?

If you can't button any of the buttons, you need to size up. Thigh tightness will ease with wear.

I feel if I size up when they stretch they will be too big around my thighs and calfs. May have to just resort back to the tailor. Damn I have spent way to much money getting shit tailored.

Yeah I normally just put them outside for a few days and it gets sunlight and a light freeze overnight, doesn't seem to be working this time though

Otherwise, throwing them in a deep-freeze freezer will eliminate most odors. The bacteria dies, but the stains will still be there.

Yeah, I'm at this conclusion right now, wont' have time till the weekend though so maybe a few more days outside will get rid of the smell. The smell isn't that strong but I can't go to class smelling like alcohol.
