In regards to denim fraying on the crotch area...

I'm having the same issue with some g-star jeans fraying around the "plum area". I've tried in the past by taking some old unworned denim and patching it up but to not much success. I hear craft/fabric stores like JoAnnes or Michael's has some glue like solution to stop fabric fraying.

Why don't you want the one you linked? I saw some at the polo ralph lauren store by me. I also saw someone wearing one made by old navy.

I'm planning on buying it, actually, I was just looking for more color variations.

Is this RG shirt too big for this model? Look at the shoulders. Is that how shoulders of a shirt should sit? Also, is that shirt from ss or fw?

I think it might be a little long to be worn untucked, but that's about where the seam should hit. The shirt just wasn't cut to be really slim

So I've been using a pair of 501 STF's for some weeks now. Thing is, I forgot to soak them before wearing them, and now I'm afraid of getting some form of "premature fading" if I soak them. So would you suggest i keep on wearing them raw to achieve better fades or that i soak them as soon as possible?

^^ So soaking them would release a lot of dye. Since you haven't soaked yet (and assuming they fit well), you should hold off if you want great contrast fades.

Soak them now. I have a pair and they shrink. I soaked mine for about 45 minutes in warm water and I lost almost 3 inches in the inseam. If you don't get the shrinkage out of the way, the fades you created could shift when washed.
