Fair enough. 

 

In addition to wondering about the possibility of non-indigo fading, I'd also like to hear the meaning of "rigid" according to Levi's. 

 

It's my impression that that term usually means "raw" or "unwashed," but I've seen enough variation between different "rigid" Levi's styles to make me think that's not the case for them -- some "rigid" Levi's are significantly softer than others, and some "rigid" Levi's appear to be pre-distressed.  Does anybody know for sure if "rigid" means anything when it comes to Levi's jeans? 

what's the best cut for a skinny guy? skinny, tapered, or slim?

also, people say this brand's fit is awesome, that brand's fit sucks. doesn't a fit depend on your leg?

one more: apc vs n&f vs unbranded?

I just bought a new denim jacket (Levi's, raw).
It's stiff as a board and smells like shit - some kind of chemical new dye smell.
How can I rid the smell and stiffness without shrinking it and ruin the color?

I'm looking to buy a new pair of jeans, but I don't know what I should be looking at. I'll likely have to order online sight-unseen if I want something raw, so I'm hoping you can recommend denim that might work.

I love the fit of H&M Sliq's (size 30w x 32l), but they don't make the raw ones anymore and my pair has more repairs than original material in the crotch now. What other brands and styles have a fit comparable to the sliqs? The upper end of my budget is probably around $200, but $150 is more reasonable.

Hello!
I recently bought a pait of 3D coated jeans, it says it is 16 3/4" leg opening.
Howevver, I didn't quite like them, mostly because it wasn't snug enough. ( i'm kind of skinny jeans wearer guy )
I'm about to order a pair of 3D onyx and Red Tab, it says it's 14 3/4 leg opening.

Has anyone purchased 14 3/4 leg opening jeans from Levis?

I'd like to know if it fits like "Levi's 511 Skinny Commuter Jean" and what does 'skinny leg ,('Slim fit leg to ankle' or Skinny Straight fit) mean.

Sorry if this question was asked, I would really appreaciate your help since I can order only online without trying the jeans on in the shop

Thanks.
