———————————————————————————-

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

Charge £15 for chainstitch hemming, and if I call before I go down, should be able to do it while I wait. Saves me going all the way to east london or adding extra charges by sending to the denim doc.

How did it go mate, get them done?

The quest for epic fades seems quite disgusting. Hope it is worth it. Quick question, have any of your lady's complained about them etc.

Remember when I tried it they fucking stank - like a bus seat

I only like raw denim when spaking new or after the first wash. The 4-6 months in between is just a pain so I tend to wear them as beaters till first wash

I give mine a quick febreze and a air outside every few months. Which tends to keep them odor free. The only time my Mrs moaned about a pair was when i hadn't washed a pair of samurai's for 18 months.

I remember when I first brought a pair of raw denim and the ass stank after a few months, complete noob but I decided to give the ass area a scrub, looked like I had a football kicked up my ass after, yup I binned them
