I know there's threads on these but also I'm 5'11 and wear them low for several reasons so I would like to buy them new with a 30" inseam which is what is giving me problems finding a quality pair. I like them dark but with a blue hue and completely unwashed. Most quality jeans seem to be mid rise or high and I'd like to support a forum member so if denimbar or any of the rest of you have a pair like what I'm looking for let me know and I'll order from you (looking to buy several different pairs). thanks in advance for any help or direction

My grandmother did my rb6's and the bottom did not in anyway look like it did when I bought them and she claimed that it would.

self edge and BIG will chainstitch to whatever inseam you want, so you may want to go that route. As far as what jeans, there are a ton of options. I think the slim jim from self edge is a good choice though.

Thank you I definitely did not know about that. I will look into both of these.

one last ? can someone point me to the BiG site? I looked at the affiliates up top and I'm admittedly pretty new to this section so I'm probably just missing it somewhere. thanks

I like skull for lose rise denim. Though Somet is always recommended, they have less of a rock'n'roll feel then skull does.

I hear that despite the lower rise of the Somets, they have more breathing room for your balls than the Skulls.

Respectfully disagree, I think the somet slims are about as rockstar as you can get.

Braidkid's the right guy to go to for the skull look, especially for a slim fit If you can afford it, I'd really recommend you go Somet--they're so fantastic (and I really want a pair)
