I was emailing with the Godmother from 5EP today, and she tells me that they have deadstock, in both the low down bootcut and the Straight down cut, in all three washes (Rigid(raw),Resin One wash, and Dark worn) from the original line that they are selling for $150+shipping. Anyway, you can contact them at [email protected]

I've also been told that they will have some interesting new product coming in as well, and will have an online shop soon as well.

Anyway, just passing down the news...

LA Guy, you bought your raw lowdown boots in a 30, right? Seeing as we're pretty much the same size.

I really REALLY don't need another pair of jeans, but man....

There seems to be a lot of contradictory information about sizing for 5ep on the forums history. Anyone care to shed light on them?

They can ship on Feb 1. You can get them now.

As for the sizing, I can only say from experience that the rigids and resins both run large, but that the rigids shrink both in length (and rise!) and width with each wash, for about 3 washes.

Oh, and yes, I take a 30/32 in the rigid bootcut. Could probably have gone down to a 29/32 for a more slender fit through the seat and thighs. As is, they are "regular" fit, neither really baggy nor particular fitted, by Styleforum standards. By SuFu standards, I am probably in the same category as Kanye.

After the shrinkage does it stretch back out after wear or stay at the final shrinked size?

I dunno, I emailed them and said I wanted to order them and they said they'd email me back with availability on Feb 1.

Sounds like what I'm looking for, actually--my PBJs are all the skinny jeans I need.

If I end up buying these, my fiancee will probably try to hunt you down. Just so you have a heads-up.

Yeah, it's hard out there for a pimp. At this point I have enough jeans that she might not actually notice for a few weeks--gives me time to come up with an excuse. I might just get the dark worn wash, actually--first pair of prewashed jeans I've really liked since I joined the dark side.
