edit: to be specific a bit, r424xx or skinnyguy/weirdguy

 

[LeonardToby]

Bro ur's is which pair/model?

Maybe cuz i bought a smaller pair that's why and i have bigger legs.

Ive been wearing nudie tfdoee for about a year already bro, since last CNY til now. Just patched it up poorly last night ill have pics uploaded on how big my hole is in a sec

hi guys i have a pair of APC denim, thinking of hemming it as its quite long for my liking and i doesnt like cuffing up my jeans

is it recommended to hem it? i only wore it for like 2 weeks or so.

 

[arcturuz]

bro, is yours too tight like mine too or fitting you comfortably?

i'm worrying that despite sizing one up, i'll still face crotch rips on my second pair.

 

[Erwinlow]

just curious, what are your reasons for getting a jeans with selvedge?

no particular reasons bro.

after my lesson learnt with my first pair, comfortable fit > anything else now

I just like the look of the selvage part when cuffed.

 

[LeonardToby]

woah bro, you sizing up or sizing down? im a true size 30 and i bought 30 and the waist has stretched out quite a wee bit but its still comfortable fitting, maybe a 30.5 now and its been with me for 12months. However, im always wearing a belt so...

quick edit: crotch rips for nudies are pretty common if im not wrong. plus we're men, we laike to sit with our leg bigbig

Red Cloud wins in all aspects. Construction/Fabric/Hardware/Pricing etc.

You should shoot for their new r400 in 21oz.

Bro i'm sizing up in my next pair. I'm about a true 30.5.

I went to try size 30 for tfodee, can't do, the waist portion is too loose already and the whole jeans look baggy cuz i'm not very tall too. Bro i hope you know nudies are vanity sized which means your size 30 pair is actually a 32 tts.

So far i've tried the 28 and 30 for tfodee just no luck to try the 29 but i'll be getting the 29 once the stock is back.

noted bro, thanks. Just purchased a pair of r424xx off someone at a good price. Cant wait to break them in i havent seen photos of a redcloud evo yet. Im hopeful though, 13.75oz similar to the pbj xx009.

 

[LeonardToby]

on another note i did promise pics of my disgusting crotch tear

Note: Its about the size of a blackberry bold.

 

[StanII]

bro did you do any sudden drastic movement that caused it to rip apart so big?

 

[LeonardToby]

it started off small around the size of a 50cent coin, i totally did not take the hole seriously and as i mentioned earlier i like to sit with my leg bigbig to school to clubs to town, everywhere basically.

I ran, danced, jumped and squatted in them. I even remember once i tried shuffling rly hardcore in them when i was drunk so yeah lor thats how the hole got so big.

or maybe its because i have a really big sdjadickflkajgd

On a separate note, picked up a new pair of Red Cloud & Co R424xx today.
Im no denim expert so ill just be quoting ranonranonarat from indigo roots regarding the denim. Credits to him

contrast stitching. the main thread is orange and they used lemon yellow thread for the hems as well as some parts of the fly

beefy chainstitch

contrast stitching again

black oxidised rivets. strange they didn't list this detail up on their site as i thought it was a nice touch to this model.

Crotch rip happens when either the jeans is too tight thus causing constant rubbing/abrasion or when u wear those jeans too low. With the constant rubbing of jeans while walking or doing other activities, the jeans get weaker and thus more prone to tearing. Not washing them plays a part as well, cause not washing them means bacterial are residing inside them and thus causing the denim to be weaker and be torn.

Btw u picked up a great jeans from a great man!

 

[LeonardToby]

Hahahahha yeah, cant wait to see how its gonna turn out. Im giving it a hotsoak+agitation now

edit: Also, wlao torres bo give face to me at Sufu
