FLG, you on about the 67 505s or LVCs in general, the 67s don't stretch nearly as much as the other lvc's

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?

You will lose dye and they will shrink. Do it in cold or slightly warm water, for a short amount of time, so you don't lose so much dye. Dry them somewhere cool so they don't shrink loads. They will shrink all over though.
please change your avatar you're making me hate jay-z, you were already doing it with nas before

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

Fucking sick, they would get an easy £100+ on the bay (If they havnt been hemmed to anything under a 32). You should flog them if you don't wear them anymore!

Any idea how long it takes for a pair of Petit Standards to loosen a bit in the thigh / leg in general? I sized down twice on them and not sure as to wether or not I should trade them for a size up, or try wear them in for a while?
Nice those, DuffMan. You don't wear them?

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?

Need some new APC's my cycle thighs have grown too big for my 29 NS.
Is there a thigh difference between NS and Rescues? I've some 31 NS and they fit nice on the thigh and lower leg.
Where can i get exact measurements of thigh, lower leg and hem? As the end is all the same.
Thanks

Zoom, they look shit, ready for the bin.
I can PM you my address so I can pass them into my local recycle centre…

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?
