These are new jeans and the crotch naturally bubbles - that is not my package showing through.

Lose the class ring.

Military college ring for which I paid dearly. Not for everyone, I know.

I think they look too big, but hey, you solved at least half of the grandpa jean problem (sky blue wash + huge fit)

Pull the jeans down, we can make out *********

Bought a pair of Rag & Bones on deep discount this weekend. Not sure if I should get them hemmed or leave them rolled.

 

[dfagdfsh]

cuff them up higher or get them hemmed

I think they look good as is.

edit: I wasn't responding to Teger - I just meant that I think they look fine cuffed and don't need to be hemmed right away. You can always do that later, too.

imo rag & bone in the 15s (which I'm pretty sure those are)the denim is too soft and thin to really stack well, and it just ends up looking sloppy.

 

[emptym]

Yep, they're 15s. Had been looking for a pair of lightweight, good quality jeans for the summer and they're exactly that. Like that they're made in the US too. I'd thought, like Grim, that I'd never break the $50 mark, or the $35 mark really... But these were just over 50 and in my size. Very happy w/ them.

I'm thinking I'll wear them a few months, wash them to see if they shrink, then hem them at Selfedge if need be. Good plan or no?

 

[Baron]

That sounds good. You definitely want to wash them (probably 2x) before you hem them unless you plan on leaving a few inches for stacking. You don't want to end up with floods if they shrink.

 

[dfagdfsh]

That would work. They are a really good deal for just over $50!!

Thanks Baron and Teger.
