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) |

Never tumble dry your jeans guys, definitely made that mistake with my new pair of Lee's this morning! depends on the denim, whether it's raw or washed, whether you turn your jeans inside out or not, whether you leave it to settle creased, or hang after, etc |

I popped into Son of a Stag earlier to get a few pair of jeans shortened (and got a pair of suede shoes fucked up after getting caught in the rain). Always a pleasure nipping in there, but even moreso when I only got charged £45 for 3 pairs to be chain-stitched instead of the usual £20 a pair. Nice people. Anyway, the interesting stuff is that the guy in there said they may be stocking Samurai soon... |

+1 I've always had good service there and they tend to sort me out with a same day service, just a genuine straight forward service. |

Sorry, I was just playing, when it comes to quality denim (Samurai, Momotaro, SD'A, Denime, etc), it all comes down to personal preference. I like the cut on the FC 1108's, FC denim feels real hairy and small things, like the white / salmon selvedge, are nice to me. |
