bring a 12oz. bottle of white wine vinegar to a boil and then throw in a LUKEWARM tub. then dump your jeans in ice cold water (ie water with ice cubes) after the lukewarm soak.

no soap, and god no febreze. no chemicals.

this is only if you're jeans are completely filthy though. never wash your jeans, esp. if they are dyed with indigo vegetable dye.

god, you people are so gay for your jeans!

― b-minus time traveler (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 13 November 2006 03:56 (nineteen years ago)

Recommend sizing down to begin with, if stretching is a real problem. If you for some reason absolutely must use soap, get something like Sugarcane or Samurai's. You're a vinegar evangelist, huh, Shasta?

P.S. Steve, tell your bros to get their shit back together, Japan is kicking their ass.

This jeans talk is insane. Buy several pair of Levi's on sale at Penny's. Wash medium with t-shirts. Dry cool. When worn out , wait for next $20 Levi's sale, throw old ones away, repeat.

but what if i want $160 jeans from nordstroms?

― a name means a lot just by itself (lfam), Monday, 13 November 2006 04:37 (nineteen years ago)

seeing as how my last (and only) pair of pants cost $0.90, i think i could justify it to myself

I dunno what you are wearing, Shasta, but any of the current [blah blah blah] quality Japanese brands. Dior Homme isn't bought for the denim, which is okay but nothing great, but for the cut/style. I'd be curious to hear more about whatever this secret [blah blah blah] stuff is, though I have a hard time buying that it can make the high end Japanese denim seem inexpensive, as already that hits 500 and up easily.

― ALLAH FROG (Sleepy), Monday, 13 November 2006 04:54 (nineteen years ago)

steve shasta, what is your take on the following:

1. evisu

shasta can you recommend some jeans with a slim but not skin-tight fit for someone tall in the $125-175 range?

i buy used jeans for no more than $8 per pair.
i also didn't appreciate the OUTRAGEOUS nature of steve shasta's jeans.

get jaxon on that shit.

I know about Self Edge, they and BiG are great and I'm happy to see such stores hit the US. They are still overpriced though, compared to buying from Japan if you can. For 500+, I was mainly referring to pairs that are pure veg indigo, and often limited runs or something like 45 RPM's Jomons, not what I've paid for jeans like Canes/Samurais! I'd def be interested, next time I'm in Cali, Shasta, and would love to see [blah blah blah] put out and market something that can compete with the best of Japan.

I'd recommend avoiding Evisu, LF, they do put out some quality denim, but the painted on birds kind of shit all over it. Also, there are better buys to be had for what they cost now. PBJ XX-005s would be one good option for you, though they will be > $175 by a bit unless you know someone in Japan who can help you out, in which case they should be ~$170ish shipped.

reading about this japanese denim is kind of turning me off because it's all like STRONGEST THICKEST DENIM EVER THICKER THAN EARTH'S CRUST which is a big no-no in south florida unless you want heatstroke

shasta can you recommend some jeans with a slim but not skin-tight fit for someone tall in the $125-175 range?

i'm not a japanese denim snob, but:

i'm pretty stoked on the Levi's Capital E Stacked Skinny's. really nice wash, slim (i bought them a size up so they weren't tights), and really long so they bunch up.

also, i know shasta thinks they're poorly made, but APCs make nice low end/high end jeans.

Well, apologies for it, but I didn't intend to totally derail thread! LF, Samurai and Iron Heart in particular sell a lot of jeans that are heavier fabric, but I live in a desert and can manage it year round, ymmv, however. Most JP denim is more in the ~14 oz range, and I think the LVC stuff is a little lighter even, though I can't remember off the top of my head. LVC '47s you can get for $175 online from Levi's.

― ALLAH FROG (Sleepy), Monday, 13 November 2006 05:46 (nineteen years ago)

LVC '47s - currently wearing these.
