^Nah, I think yamakazi is implying that STF's aren't high quality denim and you shouldn't be going through such a hassle toproduce honeycombs and whiskers on them.

Do any of you guys dry clean your selvage jeans?
I just copped a pair of Godwin's and I love them. Anyone else have any pairs? Where I can find more styles of these online or in stores?
Anyone know how these fit?

LB510, as others have said I would not dry clean my jeans. The chemicals they use during the process break down the fibers and will cause your jeans to wearout more quickly. I've you are worried about shrinking I would just wash in cold water and hang dry.

^A lot of denim brands make straight leg's. Check out Self Edge's site for some brands.
I'd reccomend the 634SStraight Selvedge, Straight Sven, or the F380.
If you decide on wanting the Nudies, use the code "StyleForumNudies" for 25% off.
If those are too pricey, check out Denim Bar for someother denim. Nudie Average Joe's are straight legs well.

stfs are cheap. i have them right now and they don't fade well. it was more of an intro to raw to see if i wanted to do it.
they are a lot harder to get results. but, this is one guy's results after 13 months on superfuture:

They won't loose the creases and whatnot if they're washed, they may fade a lil bit though.

correct.
also correct. STF's will NOT produce pronounced whiskering. unless, of course, you wear them while climbing mount everest.\
call blackbird in seattle. they are a physical store in seattle, but they accept phone orders. last time i was there they still had a lot of NS's inregular sizes. their phone number is up on their website www.helloblackbird.blogspot.com and they do free shipping, as well as 20% discounts for all SuFumembers.
you mean dry clean RAW jeans? selvege doesn't equal raw, nor vice versa. i have no experience with godwin or wesc jeans. but from the given photo, thewesc's look pretty big. i mean they are the "bigger 5" model
i don't think this is true. i've dry cleaned 2 pairs of my jeans, one raw, one line dry. especially since you won't be dry cleaning them veryoften (every 3-4 months) remember different dry cleaners use different chemicals. there are "green dry cleaner" stations around my place, and thosecertainly had no effect on my jeans at all. the only thing that they DID do was set the indigo further into the denim, thereby drastically reducing the amountof indigo dye that could be lost (aka they didn't fade as much anymore afterwards).
there are plenty. just about any denim brand will have a straight leg.
that's really insane. what the hell did he do in them!?? STF's suck for fading!!! and that's kinda nasty though, i certainly wouldn't wantthose dirt patches and bacterial mold on my jeans before i washed them
and finally if anyone wants some nudies for just a little over $100, as opposed to the $150+ retail, somemodels are on sale on this UK site. although it looks like they've stopped sales on most of the models...sorry i didn't get this to you guys earlier.

1 UKpound = approximately 2 USdollars. shipping is pretty cheap as well.
contextclothing, denimbar, blackbird (read my post), etc. most places sell out of them very quickly, seeing as there's a lot of demand for them.

sometimes i think sufu monitors niketalk and when we start talkin about denim they disable their registration process... they seem to be anti niketalk

What is the best way to prevent my 501's from bleeding? Will washing them once I get them do the trick?

^ I would soak the jeans in warm water for at least an hour. I always soak the jeans before or you're hands are going to be blue for a while when you touchthem. You probably will still get some bleeding, but it won't be as much.

^on the bleeding, on new jeans, whats the best way to stop it bleeding onto your shoes? I've always flipped up the end of my jeans to stop it. But eventhen i notice some bleeding. I eventually gave into washing them.
Does soaking it into hot water prevent it?

tell them you're from there. the employees are really friendly and very knowledgeable.
i think you should go with 29. unless you normally wear your jeans pretty fitted, i would go for 29 to have an easier "transition."
pretty much. however be aware of decreased contrast in fading after warm soaks.
well do the soak like the dude just said, but read my warning from the above answered question. there are various ways people try to "combat"this, such as cuffing jeans, putting clear tape on the bottom, etc. but i think it's kinda stupid. if you're going to wear jeans, just wear them. ifyou're afraid of your shoes getting bled on, then don't wear those shoes. there's no such thing as raw denim NOT bleeding, especially when new. youcan always buy resin-coated jeans though, which retain their dark color and don't fade, thereby bleeding less. if you're really anal about it, i guessyou could just not wear the jeans when it's rainy, humid, for prolonged periods of time, or just wear beater shoes/non-white sneakers. upgrade to someBOOTS man!
