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).

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

If my naked and famous skinny guys haven't been sanforized, and they're 4months worn in and i want to do a proper wash at 6 months, is there any harm in giving them a soak in water now, to stop crotch blowout and to shorten them a bit? And if so, any recommendations on temperature and time?

Anyone know of any grey jeans that fit similar to APC rescue?

One pairs an ebay job so no idea, the others are a 3 year on/off pair washed twice.

Breaking in two more pairs but they wont be in this state for atleast another year.

Think these pics are about 2 years old? Had a fair bit more wear since.



Almost dead now and they're a lot more contrasty than that irl, as Schtoop pointed out it's all about the lighting

i've got a tight as fuck pair of 26 new cures that i'm trying to break in. they're about 2 or 3 years old but i've not worn them for about a couple months max and the denims pissin me off because its still stiff as fuck

What's the best point to get APCs hemmed? I have a pair of New Cures which I am just wearing indoors to stretch the waist out. I want to get them hemmed and tapered a bit but don't want to do this if they will then change shape. That said, I don't want to wear them out without adjustment as they are too long.

Thoughts?

Bit of an odd one, maybe someone might have tried it.

I've given my LVC raws their second wash, got some nice fades or whatever, I wouldn't have washed them a second time, but they were fucking stinking and filthy after traveling, and the freezer trick wasn't good enough.

So the denim's got a little soft, and I want a bit of stiffness (no homo) in the denim again. I saw that you can get spray on starch when I was in some art supply store, anyone tried/know anything about this?

How do uniqlo skinny jeans fit? True or size down?

those apc look but never got on with NS, stride 3 pairs and sold them all on before wearing them in as I just didn't like the raw state to much after wearing a few pairs of Samurai - maybe time to try another pair, probs PS.

Though no brand snob here - i have a pair of uniqlo black denim which are one of the best fitting pair and nicest jeans i've had in ages, but got some Visvim on the way as I want to know if the grandmaster of denim is right about the quality.

trying the 2nd route first, i got those raws that were up on here, think they are 01 cut so going to dr denim them for a tapering and give em a try. I want to see some better pics of those new year SS light wash selvage ones. I'm still not sure how 03 or 04 styles fit so it would be a punt if I ordered them. I read somewhere though that they sometimes come up a bit short on the waist - size up, maybe safer for fitting? 04 look like a really low rise too which i hate so maybe why they can fit small. has anyone bought any of the washed SS denim on here?
