If I want to speed up the process of softening the fabric of my new raws but I’m also concerned about indigo loss (I don’t want high-contrast fades too soon) am I better off walking miles in them or taking a bath with them? In other words, should I give priority to usage or to the powers of handwashing?

Can someone with anti-polyesther autism tell me if samurai undyed white jeans are 100% cotton? I know their regular jeans are but it doesn't say on the undyed ones.
Also same question for the socks, are they 100% cotton?

If you don't want high contrast you just need to wash them more and they'll fade more evenly. If the goal is to keep them looking dark and new for as long as possible you'll need to use woolite dark or some meme denim detergent.

>(I don’t want high-contrast fades too soon)
You can't really hasten the break-in period and also end up with high-contrast fades later unless you're getting a pair of extremely tight or heavy jeans. The stiffness of raw jeans helps them fold and crease at specific lines which is what creates highs and lows where indigo loss happens more and less respectively. If they're tight and/or heavy the fabric is forced to do that regardless of the rawness.
Just commit to either doing a high contrast fade or a more even fade with a new pair.

The fabric is not molding to my body. In particular there is too room in the butt. That’s also why I thought of bathing with them on. Though I’m not sure, cause I hadn’t these problems with previous raws. Should I just keep working, sitting and walking with them?

I got this Levi's Staprest jackets for five eurobucks. Label says it was made in 99'. It's 60-40 cotton polyester. The fabric feels thick and stiff and the color is quite nice (couldn't get the exact shade on camera). Was mostly an impulse buy due to the price, honestly. Has some velcros inside that attach to nothing.
I guess I'll give it a shot, try it with a couple of fits to see if I can make it work and either keep it or flip it.

>>18676872
Unless they were sold as unsanforized or shrink to fit the bathing won't do much. You could wash them in really hot water to shrink them. That's a bit of a gamble of course since you can get them well below your size and then have to figure out how to stretch them out just to be able to put them on. Once you can do that then they'll begin stretching out to conform to your body.
The truth is that the jeans probably just don't fit you very well because of the brands cut not matching your body shape, and never will.

I have such mixed feelings about this cut. If you size up once, it looks like a perfect straight cut, but they have this weird amount of restriction in the crotch area that I don't understand. I wear a size 34 in Sugarcane 1947 which fits me perfectly and I went with a size 35 in the Fullcount 1101 to give a near exact leg dimension as my sugarcanes. The two different jeans look almost exactly the same in terms of silhouette. The top block of the 1101 does not fit too loose or too tight, but I couldn't lift my legs without feeling tightness and tension in the crotch. I sold them and went with the 0105 cut instead which is infinitely better as long as you enjoy a slightly wider leg. If you are wanting a pair of Fullcounts specifically, I think there is a reason that the 0105 is considered their best cut. Zero restriction in movement, and they are absurdly comfortable. Ultimately, people are buying Fullcounts specifically for the balance of comfort provided by the zimbabwean cotton and vintage aesthetic. However, if you cant stand the wide or slouched silhouette and you like the silhouette of the 1101 or a more traditional 1940s/50s 501 cut, you would be better off just opting for the SC1947 or the Warehouse 1001xx.
>>
>>
>>18677172
Thank you. A lot of good information. Yeah maybe should have gone with 0105 now that I’ve been looking at how it fits. Wanted a pair of black jeans though and the 1101bg was on sale. If it doesn’t work out I’ll buy one of the ones you’ve recommended.
>>
>>18676539
Maybe look into soaking with vinegar. I have a bunch of wrangler 13mwz's that softened up a bunch with one or two vinegar soaks and minimal indigo loss. They're also like 20 bucks each so I didn't worry about it but they came out great

Pic related are my Fullcounts. The 1101 might fit you really well without any of the mobility issues, but if you end up running into the same issue as me i would strongly suggest sending them back and just opting for the 0105. Even if you have to spend a few extra bucks, the 0105 is so enjoyable to wear that it’s just 100% worth pulling the trigger. I’ve worn through a shit ton of really nice jap 501 repros and they all end up softening up and getting really comfy, but there is a level of comfort that Fullcount’s denim reaches that any other company cannot really compete with and it’s ultimately the reason why I always yearn to put this particular pair on more than anything else.

Never measured my actual leg measurements, but if I'm looking for more of a balanced 501 straight leg, my ideal size chart for jeans are:
>Waist: 33-33.5"
>FR: 12.5"
>BR:16.5-17"
>Thigh: 13.4-13.5"
>Knee: 10"
>Hem: 9"
The 1101 isn't a "terrible" cut in that it looks bad. I actually think it looks really good as long as you size your thighs correctly. It just has a tiny bit more restriction in the crotch than what I prefer and I'm VERY autistic about that shit and its why I typically just opt for "wide" or "relaxed" cuts
>>

>>18677792
>personally prefer a slightly tapered jean though
Freewheelers 1951 is a perfect fitting tapered jean. Nice roomy top block with slightly more taper to the hem without being within the "millennial taper" zone

I tried the 1945 super denim collectibles at Self Edge last month. Decent fit, but it’s just autism with all of the unnecessary historic details, not worth how much they charge for those. They’re literally made intentionally bad to accurately represent the shitty war time construction details. If you’re looking for an incredible, reasonably priced pair of repros, the TCB 30s is so fucking underrated it’s just criminal. Perfect wide/relaxed cut, and the denim has insane fade potential. I got a pair a couple months ago and was kind of blown away at how sturdy these things feel

The cut looks weird. Also, there’s an entire universe of selvedge brands that make infinitely better looking jeans. All of N&F cuts are gay, and their entire brand depends on retard millennial cultists to purchase literally every one of their gimmicky “limited edition denim” drops. Samurai and Iron Heart are the Japanese equivalents of the same retardation. These types of companies get mogged by the Osaka 5 and other repro brands. They have their few select jeans that are perfect and balanced, and they just make those jeans because they know everyone loves the tried and true recipe and that they will all be purchased shortly after a restock
>>
>>
>>18678862
I actually consider the overdyed black denim to be their least outlandish thing. The fades on those jeans are pretty subtle in terms of not really contrasting too hard and in terms of the color being more of a muted color. Out of all those companies mentioned, Iron Heart’s 21 oz denim exists as a small exception to what I would categorize the others as gimmicky. It’s very soft, and it has the ability to fade more like a vintage denim which makes it look more versatile. All the other shit from samurai, Oni, N&F and other millennial tier brands are over the top, textured, heavy weight nonsense. Even Iron Heart’s other denims are arguably gimmicky; 25 oz, 19 oz LHT with an ungodly tight weave, ultra slubby 16 oz. If Iron Heart just became a flannel company, I would not be that angry

>my fullcount 1101 size 33 is like 34,5 inches
Damn that’s unfortunate. Thought the Japanese had small waists. Had expected it to be like 32 or something. Can’t even size down because they don’t do a 34 inseam below 33 waist.
>>
>>
>>
>>18679161
If they’re already one washed, you’re definitely not going to shrink the waist 1.5” even with a hot wash and tumble dry. I would strongly recommend sending back and exchanging for the 0105. Fullcount’s denim has a relatively loose weave, so it will stretch out a bit. I wear size 34 in most jap brands and opted for size 33 with the 0105 for a perfect fit. If the retailer is willing to work with you, you could also just ask for a refund and spend the money on a pair of one of the following:
>Sugarcane 1947
>Warehouse 1001xx
>Freewheelers 1947

Might be worth checking out their 8004 and D111 cuts. Not usually a fan of heavier weight denim, but the 18 oz on the 8004 is actually really fuckin nice. The D111 is a solid wide cut with Zimbabwean cotton. I’ve been wanting to get a pair of flat heads this year and it’s honestly kind of hard to choose
>>
>>
>>18676539
Just wash them once, a full length proper wash (and hour or whatever your machine does). They will always fade as long as you wear them. The wash them again maybe 3 months after. Then however often you want
I pretty much always buy my raw jeans second hand and wash them and Im pretty sure the previous owner has washed them before and they always end up getting my own bodies fades

So am I supposed to cut these off or what?
>>
>>
>>18679610
Depends what you’re looking for. Fullcount is the pinnacle of comfort and drape with that true vintage 501 aesthetic. However, the only cut that’s really worth getting is the 0105 which definitely exists on the wider/loose end of the straight cut spectrum. Their 1101 cut looks really great, but a lot of people experience tightness in the crotch area. The 0105 wasn’t something I initially liked, but as they softened up they became one of my top 3 favorite pairs of all time. In contrast, Flat Head has more vibrant high contrast fade potential since it comes in a much darker indigo dye. In my opinion, Flat Head has better, more balanced top blocks and leg silhouettes, whereas Fullcount is intentionally designed to be drapey/slouchy for practical function, movement, and comfort. Best Flat Head cut is the 3004/8004. Gives you a roomy top block but with (in my opinion) a balanced taper so that the jeans don’t look super dumpy after they wear in. I also think Flat Head’s build quality feels a little more beefy or durable, but it’s not on the same level as iron heart since the thread is still cotton and will eventually break over time

My favorite pair of jeans I own are my TCB 50s but I fucked up and they were hemmed too short. But that fit is my favorite. I could just get another pair but they are extremely slow faders in my experience

>>18679617
If you want to keep that really straightforward repro style similar to the TCB 50s, the Sugarcane 1947 is actually pretty close to those in terms of cut/dimensions. However, the Flat Head 3004 is such a great pair and the denim will have more vibrant fading and prominent vertical slubbing if that’s something you like

If you’re going to pull off double denim, do a type I or II jacket. Both of those have a boxier cropped cut, whereas the Type III is too slim and will give you more of that unflattering skinnyfat millenial silhouette. Some people say to avoid the same shade of indigo with both the top and bottoms, but I personally don’t think it’s that big of a deal compared to how well both the jeans and jacket complement your proportions and what color you’re contrasting with beneath the jacket. You will not find a better Type I or II cut than the Freewheelers stuff
>>
>>
>>
>>18679647
People keep bringing up the double denim thing as some fashion sin but I've never understood the fuzz. Yeah maybe if you're hanging around very fashionable people and they expect you to put in more effort so you showing up to the club in your monochrome outfit it just creates a clash of styles. Still, black jeans with blue jacket is also an easy to follow rule similar to matching leather colors with the belt and shoes.

Iron Heart releasing new wider fit this month, 684. At least in Germany. Would be easier to see if it’s any good if he wasn’t wigger saggin’ though.
>>
>>18679701
They’re releasing it in some new 16 oz denim. If they end up releasing a pair in their 21 oz overdyed black then I would jump on it, but it’s basically just a normal 1947 style cut with repro looking denim. If I wanted another pair of normal repros, I’d choose from like 10 other companies over IH. The only denim worth getting from IH is their 21 oz variations, it’s their forte. It blows my mind that there are actually people who buy their 14 oz

What’s wrong with the 1955 cut?
>>
>>
>>18680834
The 1955 has too much taper below the knee, completely unnecessary. The top block is great though. If they just took the top block of the 1955 and paired it with the taper ratio of the 634, literally nobody would buy the 634 or the 1955

There are legitimately still guys in every US metropolitan area that wear the slim cut nudies iron ranger combo with some sort of tight fitting button up shirt buttoned all the way to the neck.

714 fits me perfectly. Its a little baggy on the ass but it doesn’t show.
My favorite resolute fit however is 711. I dare everyone to try them atleast once. They are not comfortable for sitting down but perfect for moving around. They do cut into your ass but in a strangely comfortable way. It lets you move around freely in a way few jeans allow.
Also good luck finding 714 in black available anywhere. They sold out quick.

Just looked at the Resolute 711. Why would they take a 50s repro and make the rise lower? There’s literally nothing wrong with the 1950s 501 and it seems kind of pointless to tinker with it. The entire point with the 50s repros is to have a normal to relaxed top block. If you want a lower rise, just buy the 60s repros

N&F has interesting fabrics, but I've never liked their cuts. Some of their stuff is just a meme but I still think the majority of fabrics are interesting. I got three pairs when I first got into nicer denim but have since gotten rid of all of them.

>>18682055
The guy looked at kids jeans and how they fit and made a pair of similar fitting jeans for adults. I think the whole 50’s repro thing is irrelevant for the fit. Sure it got the right details, the wide legs and all but the main point of the jeans is to have a pant that you can move in without any issues. I find them to be perfect work pants but terrible for lounging

>I find them to be perfect work pants but terrible for lounging
Like I said, there’s literally nothing wrong with the 50s repros. They have a high enough rise without it being dumpy, plenty of thigh room, limited taper. Absolutely zero issue lounging and working in them. I have found that any jeans with a rise lower than 12” fits really uncomfortably and ends up digging into my taint and balls

Ok I got a pair of new 3004s in size 36 for $240, pretty deal good deal I'd say? It was the only size left and this size 36 is more like a 33 which is convenient.
They look pretty good and the feel of the denim wild compared to what I'm used to but holy fuck these are annoying to button and unbutton. I'm still in the middle of weight loss but still, I've never had this much of an issue in store fitting rooms even with borderline fits. Are all Japanese selvedge jeans like this?

The flat head is known for being sized pretty small. I wear size 33 in most American brands which translates to a size 34 in Japan brands. For a size 34 in most jap brands, flat head equivalents would be size 36. The majority of jap brands use button flys. They get softer and easier to button with more wear. Over time, I began to prefer the button fly over zippers. Have fun with those 3004, not a bad choice for what is presumed to be your first pair of jap raws

They're all from Osaka, so I'd assume? I've never been, but if I took a trip to Japan that would definitely be on the bucket list. At least check out Fullcount, Warehouse, and Studio Dartisan. Those three will give you a really great representation of vintage 501 inspired jeans as well as other timeless pieces of clothing like loopwheeled sweaters, work shirts, etc.

If they're accurate repros of the 67 505 then you'd probably want to go one size up anyway. And considering jap brands tend to size small, then going up two sizes wouldn't be so outlandish for that particular model.

seethe, redditor. the idea that a pair of raw jeans has to cost that much is completely made up by japanese marketing and storytelling and you fall for it like a fucking fool. not to mention any actual vintage levi’s look 5000% better than that sloppy garbage

It's because people are less fit now and wear their pants lower. This is not a conspiracy it's reality. Pockets are lower because the average weather is fat and the lower pockets work better for bigger bodies
It's why a lot of repro brands like to copy the higher pockets of older jeans

The wearers. Anyone can simply make the pockets higher. But it's the fact the average consumer is 1) fat and 2) wears their pants lower
Remember, even within the menswear scene, high waisted is still seen as grandpa pants and uncool
So many "classic menswear" brands still don't offer true high rise because they don't sell enough
If you're not wearing high rise, you won't like your pockets that high on your ass

People physically can't fit inside them anymore. There's people walking around with 36 inch waist jeans that would have to switch to pants with a +40 inch waist if they wanted to change from low rise to high rise. People would rather lie to themselves and think they've only gained 2 inches on their waist line since high school by agreeing to the societial delusion that the waistline is on the hips.

It’s not going to happen. Not only are people generally too fat to wear high rise, but streetwear (generally the all encompassing label for popular fashion) will never adopt it because it’s seen as a remnant of an old bygone era. You’ll always have repro larpers that will be into the 1930s-50s high rise jeans, but it’s never going to adopted by normies and pop culture unless people buy them specifically to have massively long sag

Hat's were damned near universal as well for both men and women since they were invented. Then sometime in the 20th century people just sort of decided to stop wearing them as much. Maybe if its really cold they put something on, maybe they wear a baseball cap if its sunny outside and they don't like wearing sunglasses. People's heads didn't get fatter, fashion just changed.
This entire thread is about a fabric that was around for ages but never really caught on as anything other than a very niche workman's fabric. Then some mad man thought of the idea of using rivets normally reserved to fasten sheet metal together to reinforce the weak points on the pocket. That was such a wildly successful idea that the fabric became the most popular fabric and the pants became the most popular pants, on every single continent on the planet. Even the most backwards rural people would see some guy in a photo wearing a pair of light blue Levi's 501s and renounced their cultural heritage on the spot and haven't looked back since.

Blame Kennedy. Off-topic, but I think several factors contributed to the downfall of hats. For once, people working and spending more time indoors. Then there's cars and lastly indoor plumbing. Being able to take a shower and wash your hair whenever made hats less relevant at keeping your hair clean.

Great way to show your american “education”. You may think all of that makes super duper sense, but it actually has nothing to do with the subject of where your pants sit on your body. It’s either low rise or high rise. If younger generations look at periods where high rise was the norm (1900s - 1990s) to draw inspiration — and that’s literally exactly what zoomers are doing right now, consciously or unconsciously — then the pants will be worn high rise; if younger generations look at periods where low rise was the norm (1990s - 2022, so literally 30 years if we want to exaggerate) then they will wear them pants low rise. It’s not rocket science.

Every country is getting fatter. This is not a controversial claim. We are growing more food, we're doing less manual labor and we're using powered transportation more.

It IS back, not fully, but it's back. Most brands still do mid rise and call it high rise though
I was literally at a Levi's today and tried on some 501s to see if I like the cut and despite being "high rise" they're barely even mid rise

Vintage Levi’s is the answer. You can still find hundreds of pairs literally new, from new old stock to people who kept them in a drawer for decades. Japanese repros are ridiculously expensive and three out of five cuts have beak butt and slouchy front so it’s a hit or miss. Pretty bad when you have to order online like a fucking cuck and risk the pain in the ass of the returning process which almost always ends up with you losing even more money. Stay away from Lee and Wrangler.

Bro what? I'm not some die hard Wrangler fanatic, but the 13mwz is THE pair of relatively high rise jeans that sits the back pockets on the ass.
Considering you're the insufferable skelly faggot with zero ass who cannot shut the fuck up about "muh beakbutt", I think it's fair to say nobody should take anything you say seriously
>>
>>18684542
That ass looks like an Halloween pumpkin. Fabric is not supposed to be that tight. Looks gay and really, really bad.
>skelly faggot with zero ass
Bro we’re men, we’re not supposed to have big butts. Jeans should give you a nice ass (which means no sagging, no extra room, but also no super tight like Wranglers) even a fortiori if you’re slim.
>>

>>18684527
If you're talking about 60's and 70's stuff then yeah. However you can still find stuff from the 80's and 90's for cheap.
Even though it's generally agreed that the stuff from those decades was lower quality, it is still pretty decent and better than most current production stuff.
Just a couple days ago I got a pair of 615 orange tab jeans and both the fabric and the stitching is superior to current mainline. Paid ten eurobucks for them.
You can also find stuff from Made & Crafted (blue tab) for cheap, which is better than the current Premium line.

Sweatie, Wrangler jeans are tight because they're made for horse riders. Riding pants (whether for horses or motorcycles) are always tight in the ass region to prevent sliding and chaffing.

Fucking retard, your entire argument is about wearing "muh grandpa pants", when in reality they're just normal pants. It's you faggots with your 2010s soilennial fashion who are the exceptions, not the rule.

bickering aside, what are the highest rise jeans? I looked up wranglers and apparently they're all 11 1/8th while I see some fullcounts at over 13 inches on the larger sizes. Do fullcounts just go all the way up to the belly button or are there even higher rises lurking out there?
>>
>>18684876
Among the standard 5p options, the highest I've seen is the Orslow 100 and Big John M1012RC. Although you could probably find higher from the more fashion forward designers like Ciota, auralee, etc.
Finding deeper rises than those requires looking at the denim painter pants/trousers territory. Warehouse lot 1233 and Jelado 41 denim for example.

Idk check out orslows dad fit jeans. But with all high rise pants you need suspenders if you want them to stay up. Sizing down just makes the waist uncomfortably slim and with any jeans its just a matter of time until they start to expand and sag down

Check out Jelado 301xx or TCB 40s. Can’t remember if they’re the highest rise I’ve seen but they’re up there. Also, keep in mind that not all size charts are accurate. The rise of my Fullcount 0105 are comparable to my wranglers, but the shape of the top blocks are so different and produce completely different fits. Wranglers are going to hug the butt whereas any Fullcount cut is going to look slouchy

Fullcount bros, I just got some 1101's from the fullcount store, but I had to size up from 35's to 38's, since the 35's legs were too tight (the waist fit perfectly though). And they didnt have 36's in the store.
How fucked am I? can I just get the waist taken in by a tailor? Anyone have success getting their jeans waists taken in?
>>
>>
>>18685049
Those are definitely going to be massive in the waist. Jumping up 3 sizes is quite a lot. You really should have just gone with the 0105 especially if the thighs are a limiting factor for you. I wear size 35 in the 1101 for a thigh width that fits me, and a 33 in the 0105. The 0105 gives me a perfect waist size with plenty of leg room. I’ve said it a million times in these threads and I’ll say it again, the 0105 is their most popular cut for a good reason. The whole point with buying Fullcount is for comfort. The 0105 achieves that better than anything, whereas a lot of people complain about the 1101 being too slim in the thigh and crotch.
You need to just send those back and buy the 0105. Double check the size charts to find a comparable waist size. The sizing on the 1101 does not transfer directly to the 0105

>>18685074
Eh, its too late to return them. I got pretty rushed in the shop and didnt have time to try the 1105's. Maybe next time.
I think taking in the waist by 1.5 inches or so shouldnt be too hard, no? There's only a 2inch waist difference between the 35's and 38's Plus, it fits well otherwise. Thanks fullcount bro
