I just bought 2 pairs of academi selvedge raw denim from urbanoutfitters.com, they just came today, and they are pretty heavy, surprisingly the lighter colored one bleed like crazy, and feels like cardboard.
I was also wondering, they are the same fit, and I got the same size, but the lighter colored one seems to be a little lose compared to the dark. Will these shrink? stretch? Which one should I keep?....

the leg opening for size 30 is 8.25, and it's straight leg.
so you can imagine it's not tapered.
i'll get some pics up when i get a chance.

They're sanforized so it shouldn't shrink much. I'd keep the gray flame selveage (lighter pair) if I were you. It's more unique. I have that one too.

is there a reason you guys are buying from UO vs. Context or Deep Sleep? It's always better to support the little guys.

it's a myspace page, but call phil up and he'll set you guys straight. Joey_Formal used to always take care of me when I was up there, he sold me my PRPS's. But alas, he's off to greener pasteurs in NYC now, but deep sleep is still a great and friendly store.

Bought em right when context started packing em.

The Deep Sleep guy told me they don't carry the lighter grey version.
