Official thread sponsor: First aid for your old denim.
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) |

high wash and tumble dry ensure maximum shrinkage |

nothing happens if you wash them again. but im just saying you can wash them once to shrink to fit and then just carry on wearing them for years without like all the other dirty fuks do if you want to. |

Right about to wash these, should I let them dry outside, then stick them in the tumble dryer once their almost dry or throw them in the dryer right away? bout 5-10 mins in the dryer should do it right? |

generally the longer you tumble dry and the higher heat you do it at the more shrinkage you will get. i'd give it a half hour right away. remember to turn your jeans inside out |

Much Love to the Denim Dr for my latest alterations. Tapered my Samurai's whilst keeping the inner seam and the selvedge intact. Said it was the first ones he'd done like this so he is as pleased as me with the results.

What is different about the inner seam compared to other jeans? |

What is different about the inner seam compared to other jeans? he used the original cotton thread rather than ripping it out and replacing it with the polycotton stuff that tailors use i'm guessing having said that the cotton thread on .jp denim is a pain in the ass, noone looking at your jeans can tell that it's any different and there's a good reason why we use synthetic blends nowadays |
