Good fit. I really want a denim jacket now haha. The color looks fine, as well as the length.
The stacks looks good uncuffed with sneakers, but also looks good cuffed with your black shoes.

@slap u need a denim jacket its awesome! My next denim jacket will be a darker color ;)

@adamk77 I think the length of your jeans is fine for sneakers and dress shoes. If the inseam was longer, dont think it will look good with dress shoes anymore, unless you cuff twice.

@justsayray I guess the light caught it just right to give it that shine

Yeah, it's not really that shiny in person. I'm 5'10" at 171 lbs and wear 32 W x 30 L. The jeans I'm wearing - it's 32 W x 32 L, and the jacket is a medium.

@slap and @vvind thanks!

IIRC, it was $49 at Nordstrom Rack. Not sure where you're located, but if you are near MD/VA/DC area, they should have some left at the Potomic Mills mall.

"posting the selvedge line of it" - you mean a photo of the stitching?

@vvind As far as I can tell, they look grey to me (unless I'm color blind

)

matchstick should be a cut...i've only seen them at nordstroms tho. I've seen khaki ones too if memory serves me right. I know I tried on the indigo pair before.

Adam, did they have any smaller sizes at Potomac?

@lckychrmsbboy I'm not sure. There were a bunch of Matchsticks - grey, indigo, black, etc. But the grey ones were the only ones that were selvedge, so I didn't bother checking the other non-grey ones. I don't think there were any grey ones that were smaller than 32x32 though, because I was looking for a pair for my brother who's smaller than me and I couldn't find any.

Alright... another question for you guys. I've always been a conservative dresser (meaning wearing whatever my loved ones bought for me, which usually means older relatives). But for some reason, I've always wanted a pair of white jeans. I've mustered enough courage to buy a pair of white Levi's 514. I really like the look, but I've been getting some mixed feedback.

Guy friends tell me that they think it's too strong (kinda gay), female friends like it and don't think it's gay at all but told me not to wear it after Labor day. But I am digging the look and want to wear it now! The white is so easy to match, which helps because I have a limited selection in my wardrobe. One comment that really cracked me up was that I looked like a half peeled banana (I matched it with a yellow polo shirt). What are your thoughts on all this?

Below is a pic of me wearing it with a yellow polo shirt. Sorry about the bare feet!

I bought these anthracite 510's and when they came, they smelled pretty horrible; I imagine it was the finish. Anyway, does anyone know how to get rid of it? Or how to properly was them so the color does not run or fade? Thanks

i wanna order VANS Era, but not sure about the sizing, im pretty sure it fits true to size but i want to get the smallest size possible that will fit me

Does anyone wear size 9.5 or 10 in Vans? If you have vans authentics, eras, can you please tell me which size you have and measure the bottom of the shoe sole for me please from front to back. I want to know the exactly length of the shoe for both sizes 9.5 and 10.

I wear size 10 in nikes, but i can wear size 9.5 in adidas and pro keds. I just wanna find the best size for me in vans.

thanks

these are the vans im gonna buy, on sale right now for $40 and i think look really good

@vvind
Can you message me info? I'm not your size btw haha.

@justsayray
I wouldn't. Too worn for my liking.
And I need to go to my local Ross.... nice finds.

@overthebuilding
Unless they're raw denim, a wash isn't going to hurt them. Do a cold wash, then hang dry.
Otherwise, Febreez as recommended.

Theres 2 places selling the shoe. I just ordered it in size 9.5 woohoo... figure it should fit me :

Shopnicekicks has a few different Vans Era on sale now all $40.
http://www.shopnicekicks.com/end-of-season-sale/vans-ca-daily-drop/

Karmaloop also has this, but cost little more $50. You can easily find a coupon code and get it a little cheaper.
