Acne - fit true to size APC New Standards -size down 2 or even 3 from true waist size APC New Cures - size down 1 or 2 from true waist size April 77 - size down 1 or 2 from true waist size Dior raw 19s and 21s - have vanity sizing and are labelled as two sizes smaller than actual size Edwin Nashvilles - size down 1" - quite a different fit to most jeans out there though (massive rise, loose at thigh and comparitively tapered at the leg). See the Edwin denim fit guide. Julian Red - fit small, so maybe true to size on raw and possibly size up on non raws Nudies - size down 1 or 2 Raf by Raf - true Ring - true (New thread, old one started by Paulo G, archived here) |

Snagged some bnw(out)t quartz blue edwin ed-55's for 40 bones on the bay but the jokers sold them as a 32x32 rather than a 32x34. These any use to anyone before I back them? |

quick question, ive bought a new pair of 'washed' jeans, i want to keep the original hem, dont want mummy hemming, is there a proper way to do this? a mate had it dont, but where they re done it, there was a 'lip' I've had done before but it looked shit. They basically cut the OG hem off just above the chainstitch, take off whatever length they need to and then re-attach the hem with the join on the inside, however you still end up with a visible join. |

Yeah will always have a slight line around where the hem is attached from the inside. Don't do it if you plan on turning/rolling your jeans. |

now you know why i jump on sneaker52's back so much when he tries to buy every single thing for sale on here or on sale. im a single man living alone with a room just for clobber. (my loft is boarded out with two pro clothes rails full as well) Thanks, now can I have a pair of your Vis or Canes, As for storing, I keep all my jeans on those Ikea cubes, think they actually bookshelves.

The job beedub is talking about is a shit job and not the proper way. It can be done properly if you go to the right place with a vintage/original hem made again instead of cutting and reusing the old one. |

Who makes raw black jeans which fade nicely? I'm looking for something cut similar to 67 505s, maybe with a bit more taper. Anyone know of anything that might fit the bill? |

APC petite standards, think there is a couple of different black ones, and the overdue ones I've got faded quite nicely |

Thanks. I'd prefer something with a bigger rise than APCs if possible but I'll definitely bear them in mind. |

Depends on what you want as a outcome. I'd say wait as long as you can. |

Got it done one time here thinking id saved my hem but turned it up and it was a butchered mess. Like i've said i've had it done properly before fine with turnups etc |
