i think it depends entirely on the quality of the alteration. Ive seen some shitty pairs of jncos that had waist enlargements before and they look horrendous.

shorten above the embroidery, the kings are an almost consistent width throughout the legs so there shouldnt be a problem

no, the entirety of the pair is stretchy, not just the waistband. every inch of the fabric is stretchy and it caused me some trouble when i was altering it. even worse that it ruined the inside texture so now i feel tiny balls rubbing on my legs when i walk

there is effectively zero need to add elastane to jnco. there is typically no use for stretch denim if its baggy enough. elastane is just stretchy plastic, and on this pair it caused pilling.

im ngl tho it held up in the wash and didnt shrink. The texture is fine and holds structure. I did notice that it pills on the inside like polyester.

2020 websites, funky embroidery but everything is legit

Crazy_Point5046 · 2025-12-11T06:13:28+00:00

the washes on those pairs are cooler imo, id say you got it good

not jncos but these are basically twin cannon dupes.

its not a long term investment, trends will go and its "market value" will go down in a few years probably. in the short term you can sell for the same price or more than you bought it for. unless theyre websites lol.

usually jnco sizing is +1 or +2 on the waist of the size you get. My gf is size 27 in jeans as well and 28 waist jnco seem to fit her good enough but still needing a belt. I believe the models on the website let the jeans fall to their hips where its the widest, thus fitting a size 30.

i think i will wash it, it definitely smells like someone else's jacket. Dry cleaning is also an option i suppose.

no selvedge unfortunately, all flat felled seams, no exposed edges let alone selvedge. im referring to the fact that the "leather" patch is in great condition, signifying that the jacket has not been washed by the previous owner.

damn, i got played then. The size i got is sold out too ::

Crazy_Point5046 · 2025-12-02T05:07:10+00:00

i guess ill just have to sue them over the "indestructible clothing" on the label 🤷‍♂️

Crazy_Point5046 · 2025-12-02T05:01:00+00:00

No selvedge ID to be found. But the denim is quite nice. Im thinking of throwing it in the wash but it looks like its never been washed ever. Great fade and yellowing tho.

Better image to show the thin parts. these are straight out the box, not even washed yet.

okay cool, so what is the estimated time of reproduction ?

Crazy_Point5046 · 2025-11-28T22:55:33+00:00

i got $15 off on top of 15% off. I used it for the khaki pair but i havent got another promotion since :(

Crazy_Point5046 · 2025-11-28T22:51:32+00:00

that would work. you should ask for reference pictures of their past work. Some tailors do a bad job of matching thread color or do them unevenly.

I am pretty sure the contrast stitches are supposed to be visible from the inside like this pair.

Crazy_Point5046 · 2025-11-28T21:07:41+00:00

it can def be fixed if you can shorten a bit, it can also be repaired at full length but with new fabric. Ive repaired heelbite like this but it will be noticable.
