    Please Explain High End Selvedge Jeans to Me

    I wanted the green weft, but was very uncertain how they would look after wear. Really cool you got them, you gotta post pics after wear so I can hide in regrettable shame :D

    Washing in 30c and stretching the legs damp works. If once washed in 60c they shrink alot and cant be stretched out again.

    Lee 101Z 23 oz selvedge jeans

    Schitzo, It looks like the 32 is about 18" across the waist. Its a little hard to see so could you clarify for me: Exactly how long is it across on the 32 and the 34? How much did they shrink in the waist? Does these jeans really cost $300 before the pricedrop? Thats alot for Lee so Im a...

    I would hardly call OneEyeMan a troll. I can understand what you mean based of what you say, but since I know his past posts through the years I can say that you are wrong here. Also, just because people come and explain the process that leads up to a pricetag doesnt mean the OP has to be...

    Please Explain High End Selvedge Jeans to Me

    It is the same info I got from "denim-heads" when I started with dry jeans so thats why I thought it came from that group. I guess it differs from brand to brand and it also differs what we feel is comfortable. I got my first pair too tight so the didnt fit after a wash and that sucked after...

    Please Explain High End Selvedge Jeans to Me

    This is what "denim-heads" recommend on forums and that is probably where you have picked it up. This does not work for me because yes it stretches when worn, but it also shrinks when washed. After the first wash they will shrink the most, this is the period that you want your jeans to fit, to...

    No. It means Self-edge. The edge is hold together by itself because of how the fabric is produced. This is what it means and this is why its red/green/some other color at the edge. The theory is that you get the best part of the fabric, in the same direction and not cookie-cutted in all...

    Please Explain High End Selvedge Jeans to Me

    Well. I have drycleaned mocca jackets that didnt get one bit cleaner and it cost me alo of money. I actually dont know how much drycleaning one pair of jeans would be but I can imagine it will not be cheap. FYI nothing is cheap in Norway - and there is really no explanation. Heating is so...

    Please Explain High End Selvedge Jeans to Me

    I would never dryclean my jeans. Where I live it would probably cost 50% of the jeans newprice. I just wear until they really need a wash. Small spots can be removed with a damp cloth and I used to wet-wipe the very end of my jeans from time to time during the period up to the first wash.

    I would say: 1.What are some of your favorite brands? Nudie, Iron Heart, Flat Head, but I would just get a pair that has the cut your after. You can read some here: http://www.selfedge.com/brands_we_carry.php And others will chime in here, I already know forumers love Sugar Cane :D 2.How...

    Please Explain High End Selvedge Jeans to Me

    Fact is that my 21oz Ironheart is thicker and heavier then my 15oz Nudies, and they are heavier/thicker then a coupple of cheap lees. I have washed the ironhearts many times and still ask people to just feel them and everyone understand instantly what the "fuzz" is all about. The heavier oz ones...

    Alexander Leathers light brown kudu Dakota, size 42

    Nice. They take a long time to fade, but when they do it comes out pretty amazing. Wear as long as possible between washes to speed up the process.

    Alexander Leathers light brown kudu Dakota, size 42

    IH have alot of measures on all pants. I took a pair I liked and measured them and got the model that was closest to this. A tip that might or might not work :D

    Alexander Leathers light brown kudu Dakota, size 42

    I recommend getting 634s and have them tapered by "The denim doctor" who is in your area of the globe. They are too wide standard but can be slightly tapered for a perfect look. They might be straight, but feels almost like bootcut imho as they come out of the box.

    New Aero Highwayman

    It looks great. Looks like a perfect length, not to long, and not so short so you 100% have to tuck in all t-shirts. Try and drive in it or lay on the sofa watch tv and the "bubliness" in the back will go down some :)

    Do Aero Jackets Run Large?

    My chest is 40. I wear 38 in the Cheyenne and its very slim (on the verge of too slim after xmas :D) I wear 38 in the HIghwayman and its a perfect fit. Smaller wouldnt work, bigger would fit bad. I have a 40 30´s HB and it fits good, it feels a little big, but I think the 38 would be all...

    New Aero Dust Bowl in rough but not too rough Kudu

    Beautiful jacket. I would love to have one. I dont think the scarring is even worth to notice, I get more scarring on my FQHH on a weekend with my kids :D Take it as an invite to not baby the jacket.

    Another GW steer masterpiece

    Ok well that has more bown in it and less orange so I understand. Its just that I usually think russet is very russet, like some Aeros. I do like the color but I am scared that it might be a little too much (l o l if you look at my avatar, but this is a different style) so I was a little...
