Anyone have experience "re-dying" their jeans? Let's say I have a pair of black jeans that used to be jet black and now look like distant relatives of Ashy Larry. Can they be restored to their former glory? There's also a nice rip along the inside thigh thanks to frequent wear haha.

Might be best to just buy a new one

I figured, just trying to salvage my $200 jeans I bought for a whopping $20 (or $10, can't remember) haha.

Thanks

Anyone have experience with Unbranded 201's? Want to try something new.

I have the 201's... pretty baggy, compared to most of today's fits.  I use them as my camping / lawn cutting jeans, now. 

Good price, but they have tiny front pockets and a very low rise.

One of the things I enjoy about 100% cotton denim is the fades that occur over time through distress and wear.

Can the same effect be achieved wearing jeans with stretch or elastane? Asking because I'm looking into a couple pairs of stretch denim because I like the cut but I want to have realistic expectations when it comes to the fades.

I bought some raw acne studios from their new line. The north fit. Fits pretty good. Not skinny at all. Feels more like a slim fit.

Any info on the Jeans?

 

[marvelousmark]

anyone know how momotaro tight tapered fits? going to seattle in a couple weeks. gonna check out blueowl and see how they are in person.

 

[newgodflow]

You just answered your own question... Check the measurements online and measure your best fitting jeans to see how they compare.

My APCs need a soak. If I use hot water instead of cold will it shrink a littler? I want it to shrink. Only soaked it once before using cold water and a little woolite dark.

We doing to much

 

[DonRafa]

We doing to much

right? why would you boil them?!

 

[slighted]

Anybody have experience boiling their raw denim?

Why not just fill a bucket with warm water and soak the jeans?

Boiling may lead to major shrinkage.

 

[newgodflow]

Yeah, I would just wash them in warm water at the most....

 

[untouchable jc]

right? why would you boil them?!

WTF I literally laughed at this. Pushing the envelope

New to the thread an I've seen Leftfield NYC mentioned a few times, does anybody have any experience with their customer service or actually own a pair. I know their a bit pricey for newcomers but I'm seriously considering getting a pair of the Charles Atlas cut denim in black and getting them hemmed. All help is greatly appreciated
