I do not like the true religion leg opening and they are way overpriced for what you get.

depends on which brand your looking at and price range.

school me on chainstitching

Im the same length as you but i still just stack with a small cuff

anyways chainstitching basically gives you a nice rope looking effect after you wash your jeans and wear them. Its a thick stitch hem at the leg opening.
Here is how it looks like:
original hem:
Here is another chain stitch hem:

Absolutely not. It's more of a denim connoisseur preference, not a necessity imo. It does look better if you're cuffing, but very few people will beable to tell the difference even when you do cuff. BTW. Just washed my pair of APC's at 7 months. Will post pics in a bit.

They're 20% off assuming you live in the U.S. This is a very reputable merchant. Just got some Nudie Straight Svens from them. Shipping's $25stateside.

Quick question:

I've been trying to get my hands on some Nudies for quite some time, but never can try on any pairs. Which fit most like Levi's 511, Slim Jims?

I would say SJ. I am not that sure because i do not own 511s and i do not know what the measurements are. You should check out APCs, they are a bit cheaperthan SJ.


how is the levis vintage line anyways? I do not see too much of it.

Good look davizzy.
I've been on APC NS for a minute too. I'm pretty much set after looking at my friend's and how his pair broke in.

 

[davizzy]

NP. I got both and i like the NS a bit more. Only thing i do not like is the pockets but w.e. Just remember to size down 2-3 sizes if you cop the APCs.

 

[10 piece nuggets]

Whats wrong with the pockets?

 

[davizzy]

they are mad small. I have trouble taking my cell phone out each time i try and take it out

 

[ironunkind]

whats style of LVC thats equivalent to apc rescue?

LVC is solid. People don't hype them that much because they're not Japanese, but they denim they use is Japanese. If you want to buy Nudies or LVC, buythem from cultizm.com. You save a lot because you don't have to pay duties on the stuff.

 

[frankl1001]

anybody interested in some 29x32 levi 514 imprint??

 

[urn0tlike]

Anyone wear silver tab slims? I have 2 pairs and one has a slimmer leg opening than the other. Its kinda annoying. I like all my jeans to fit the same. I meanits not completely bad because the wider leg opening fits better with foams, and the slimmer leg opening fits better with dunks and air maxes, but why is itthat they have diff measurements?

All denim will stretch no matter what you do especially APCs since they are known to stretch like crazy. I personally would not soak because you will lose dye.Just wear them and if they begin to get a little to big for your taste then soak them in hot water to shrink them, but they will eventually stretch out again.
