Yeah, and upon checking them out closer they do indeed appear to be selvage, so it's an even better deal. I figured they'd make a cool project jean and also, I am giving my speech on Tuesday about raw denim and I needed some to wear to help me get that A+.

it's a faked selvedge. there is topstitching on it, so you'll see that it's not truely selvedge, but made to look like selvedge.

Ah ok. I've never owned any selvage, so when I get my APCs in a month I will be sure to compare the two as I've only recently started branching out to raw denim. I am trying to make sure I do it right though so I don't waste a bunch of money on crap. I've been reading up on it since I came to the forums but haven't owned any before these and the Nudies.

Also received my Engineered Garments Herringbone bedford and a olive green thermal by Nom de Guerre. Waiting on my Bblessing hoodie. Then, I must stop buying.

LA Guy - how much did these end up stretching out? I wear a 29 in APC NS, and am thinking about going with a 30 in NdG. I'm expecting them to be very tight in the beginning, but hoping they will stretch a lot...

in my experience with ndg jeans, they stretch rather quickly

Thanks Poly. I'm a normally a 31, so I either need to size up or or size down. I've read that they run small, but also that they stretch quite a bit. Right now I'm leaning toward "sizing down" and hoping I can button them up.

holy ****. that is sick, how many sessions was that?

 

[xchen]

Jason, the eyes are reverse crossed. I'd say go back the the artist and ask for your money back.

Is it on the back of your arm?

tattos are cool

Jas, I knew you didn't like azn people but sheesh...

 

[Get Smart]

thanks, it was one sitting, about 3 hours, on the back of my forearm. Looks much more vivid irl, my one shot photo doesnt do it justice. If anyone in socal is looking for a new-skool americana style artist, check out my boy Sean O'Neil at Classic Tattoo in Fullerton and Action Tattoo in Yorba Linda. Really clean work, knows his ****.

Who...plenty of room in the "Hatin' em" club my man.

How did this end up fitting? I was considering buying one, but figured I'd be stuck with something designed to fit a paunchy old man. Looks nice though.

I got my Nudies and the fit is good. They fit pretty tight, which is a yay. I can button them though.

Pics later fo' sho.
