nothing wrong with loose fitting except that you wont get any drastic fading.
most of the lines come from wearing them a bit on the slim side.

n&f wears out quickly so if you just want to wear them once in a while they'll do.
for every day wear, you'll wear them out quick

I want a new pair of Samurais, imperials or flatheads.

Anywhere in Vancouver or Seattle?

I've got a pair of n&f and I've been wearing them everyday for the last 5 months. They've got some decent fades considering I wear them pretty lightly. Any tips to getting some more fades for the last month before I soak them?

Jump on a bike. Do squats/lunges in them.

Nope. Online or you can go San Fran :D

Afraid so. =[

I should have picked up a pair when I was down there last time. But at that time I was only 5-6 months into my old Samurais.

^^^ I see the Ninja edit there. I was thinking you got Iron Hearts and Flatheads mixed up lol!

It is safe for me to shrink my raw denim in the dryer?

did you try hot soak first?

EXACTLY what I did. I went back to read other posts and I was like "Uh... WTF are Ironheads." Good catch

Question:

Has anyone ever bought stuff off Barney's website? It says they have free ground shipping, but I was wondering what the duties usually are?

My Samurai's are pretty much due for a wash. will post pics this weekend!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Can't wait.

I didn't end up buying new Samurais. I fished up a pair of Capital E's I never really broke in and got them tapered and tailored to my liking. rocking those this summer.

Anyone know where is a reliable but cheaper retailer/ site for nudie jeans? :)

stopped by self edge in sf. couldnt help myself

Fuckin choked...been wearing my nudie thin Finn organic drys for 5 months now... Still no signs of fading... I even put my wallet and cellphone in my pockets and there's not the slightest hint of a fade starting....only got combs and some minor fading around the ankles... That's it. Fuuuuuuuuuu

hey dude, do they fit slim? if they dont, they wont show much wear other than in the knees/thighs.

My nudies are finally showing fades throughout the denim...

Picked up a pair of acnes the other day, couldn't say no for $60 when it was regular 200 lol. Totally jelly of unit above though

Woah I never considered Strike Gold denim but now they're at the top of my list to replace my current pair when they fade more.

they're unsanforized denim, so make sure you size up and give them a soak before you start wearing them. one of the guys at self edge was wearing the exact pair and recommended it to me. his were probably close to a year in wear, and they looked great. i was sold.

Just ordered the Somét 030. Finally something lighter to rotate with my Sammies. AWWYEEE

^ You got the high rise slim leg? I had a chance to get that but was unsure of the rise. Let us know how it works out for you. Somet denim is very high quality.

They do fit slim.... I have muscular thighs and calves and a tiny waist, so I'd say it's pretty tight... However, I have to wear a belt now because its stretched quite a bit and my waist is now too small to accommodate them. I was thinking the reason mite be because the nudie thin Finns aren't tue selvedge that there wouldn't be dramatic fades on them, but apparently that is not the case. I've seen some pics of some pretty dope fades on thin Finns.
