@Fongstarr if they smell just wash them in cold water and hope for the best. they're gonna shrink regardless but cold water will keep it to a minimum
Anyone know a brand of jeans with blowout type knees (FoG) that doesnt break the bank?
Its not gonna be quality denim but thats not what im into nowadays, Favela has some nice looking ones but id rather try em on first than anything. I got a pair from Zara that doesnt look too bad.
I now understand the hype for John elliott denim. Went to Barneys tried them on and fell in love. Luckily they didn't have my size and I found this brand new pair on grailed for 285 shipped
Other pair is 424 denim. Love the wash and the taper is really strong, smallest leg opening jeans I own. Idk how people size 10+ taper this small on the regular, I almost died trying to take them off yesterday lol
I wonder how they are in comparison to the gap x gq collection. Saw they have a pair this season for $120. May grab but unsure about sizing

good look on who ever recommended me the tanner goods belt, it's been holding up real nice
Yassss IIRC you posted a link to their sample sale and I just copped from there.. signed up for 10% and it came out to around 50 shipped.good look on who ever recommended me the tanner goods belt, it's been holding up real nice
nice, i think that was me. mines been going strong for over two years and had some nice patina
What kind of alterations are you having done? I assume a hem is in order since you mentioned chainstiching? Chainstiching is not necessary but the roping fades do look nice over time on raw denim. Definitely shrink the denim before you alter them or leave extra break to consider the shrinkage.I think I'm finally going to have some time to finally get my jeans to a tailor tomorrow or Friday. What exactly would you guys tell or ask a tailor to make sure they get the job done right? I've been trying to research here and there about having raw selvedge denim tailored and it mostly goes over my head especially when it gets really technical and people are getting into which seam to have the tailor cut when they do the altering. Chainstitching. There's just a lot to know and I want to make sure I get these done correctly. Also would you guys try to sink and shrink your jeans before getting them tailored or just factor potential shrinkage into the tailoring?

Appreciate it
Don't think I've really had a "real" leather belt before (kind of sad I know) because usually I'd go to marshalls or ross and get those dressy belts but then they start 'chipping' smh
I definitely know better now

If you're planning to taper the jeans then tell the tailor to cut from the inseam, which is the seam that runs along your inner thigh. Denim heads do this to keep the selvedge on the outer seam of your jeans.
