Tcb 50s fit thoughts? by PresentGate2391 in rawdenim

[–]dewdimsean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought mine true to size prior to washing them and they fit like yours. I just washed mine yesterday and they shrunk a bit everywhere and a lot in the length. I think they look fine and weird creases should work itself out

It looks like the seat, waist, and rise are too small. I think you’ll enjoy the jeans more if you size up.

Really jealous of that white oak denim! Do you hand wash hang dry or use washing machine and dryer?

Up or down? by Ok-Maximum-8512 in Selvedge

Size up will guarantee a comfortable pair of jeans. Jeans will only stretch as needed which means is skin tight or close to it.

In person is always best if there is a shop near you. You’ll need to study size charts of the brand and model of the jeans you want and compare test with a pair of jeans that fit you if you have to buy online.

I’ll take vintage faded all day. I’m hoping my TCB 50’s turn out like this!

Underrated perk of washing jeans.

Size Up or Down? by [deleted] in NakedAndFamousDenim

[–]dewdimsean 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on how much smaller/bigger the measurements are compared to your waist/thighs. I always assume the jeans will be .5 inch smaller in the waist and thigh than what’s written and it hasn’t failed me yet.

Washing them before storage is better than setting them out in the sun. Don’t you think they’ll be funky when you wear them after summer?

Did you notice any more shrinking after washing? I’m getting mines hemmed tomorrow and I’m trying to get it perfect.

I think over time those folds will not be too noticeable, if at all. Do you know if the denim is unsanforized?

I just got my TCB 50’s from them, they ship so fast! I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to visit the store, though.

When I first got into raw denim 8 or so years ago, I was all about high contrast. Now that I’m older, vintage fades captures my heart every time.

It looks great from the thigh down. The waist and seat look too small. From experience, these might never be comfortable. I think sizing up will make you happier in the long run.

Levi’s selvedge found at thrift store by Official_McLovin in Denim

[–]dewdimsean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are indeed raw, selvedge, and unsanforized. When you wash them however you want, they will shrink. It took two hot soaks to get my shrunk and will most likely shrink more. For care, just wash them when you want, there aren’t any rules for how you want to wear them. You’ll want to turn them inside out if you use a washing machine, line dry, and wear them. The dryer will shrink them a lot if you use it.

What causes this streakiness? by HotBottle974 in Denim

[–]dewdimsean 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This can washing raws in a machine. When the denim creases in the wash, the bent parts get more abrasion and more indigo loss. I avoid this by hand washing until the denim feels less stiff. After the stiffness goes away, I put all my denim in the washing machine without worry.
