Small DENIM Questions Thread

What does it mean by "wearing them hard?" I guess I don't really bike or skate like some people do. I'm usually just sitting around or walking around at work. Would that be why?

Yes, that would be why. The more stress you put on the fabric, the sooner it fades.

how do you soak a specific area? for example just the crotch?

thanks.

Alright I got a question--

I got these levis 511, in the rigid tumbled black wash...it fit great but then after I washed them, they shrunk like 3 sizes. Now they look like girls jeans on me.

I don't care much about those jeans anymore, but I am worried about future raw jeans that I get. I got some raw jeans at H&M and they didn't shrink much at all after washing. I don't know which is more normal-- very minor shrinking or very major shrinking. I'm also not sure if the difference has to do with how they were washed. Maybe I left the levis in the dryer too long, but I can't remember enough to know for sure. That is really what the question is about--

If raw jeans are washed and dried with too much heat, are they gonna shrink as much as the levis? Or were the levis made differently from the H&M raw jeans that didn't shrink as much.

why do ppl hang their raws a specific way after soak, or wash? and do they hang them like that all the time?? personally i just throw mine on the floor...

thanks man, but when i said thro them on the floor, i was talkin about after a regular day of wear. and i was asking do they hang up their jeans like that all the time and not only after a sook/wash?

Time to finally get a pair of raw denim that fits right. Been through ill sized LVC 47s,Ugly 505s,too tight nudie grim tims. Heres a few pics of me and my LVC 1947s pre distressed (size 30tag) and UVCs (tagged 29).






Looking for not too baggy not to tight. Fitted :>

Samurai 710 or IH 666 OD?
I know IH is like 100 more but I have the money.
I tried on 710s in BiG and they fit pretty decent. Thighs could be smaller though, i know they'll shrink with soak but even after a soak, they'll still be a bit big.

I'm going to go to SENY when i get a chance to try the 666 OD on if they have it in my size.

But just wondering, anyone have an opinion as to what to get?
This is probably going to be my last pair of raw denim so I don't want to regret the choice.

im new to raw denim and am looking for my first pair but dont wanna fuck this up...

what brand and model of raw denim would be ideal for someone tall? (im 6'5") that wants to get enough wear in them to have nice whiskers and honeycombs, and still want a little bit of stacks, but nothing overboard.

and pics are helpful too if you have them

I've had a pair of STFs for like 3 weeks and I kind of want to shrink them again. I've only done the initial soak so far. How much would another soak shrink them or would it be a bad idea to do it again?

im looking into a new pair of denim, and really like the ih666

currently wearing the 3s sl-100x, and like the fit. the fits for both should be about the same right? im not really trying to go any slimmer than the sl-100x.

I think the IH 666, once soaked or washed, is a little bit slimmer throughout than the SL-100x.

do you think i could size up and it would be a fit like what im looking for? i wish i was near a se so i could actually try them on

what does "mij" mean on uniqlo jeans?
