What your waist size?? I doubt TSS have size & not sure whether the re-stock is here.
But I heard from Johnny that the re-stock is without the red tab...

If you keen, I'm helping my frd selling his R400 with size tag of 28, brand new try it at home, rinse with cold water & unhem.

Yes, the future batch of Red Cloud denim will be without the red tab.

Do you mean this Cell bit di Slim Fit Straight Jeans

Remark from Uniqlo Japan website after translation and you shld have ur answer below:-
※ This product is, because you are using a raw denim, shrinkage after washing will be larger than normal denim. Please select a size one size larger waist. Hemming, recommended after washing.

IMHO, you got a good catch for a selvedge raw denim at YEN 4309.20 (included tax) aft convert SGD$ 50.02...
Just wonder whether Uniqlo Japan ship to SGP???

Bought a pair of APC from Frontrow just yesterday....I wear a W28 pair of nudies but they're slightly tight. Tried on a pair of W27 PS and I was told if I can button the lowest button, it's the right size.

I can currently button two buttons now but I can't seem to get the 3rd button together...
Any tips? Also any cuffing tips? They're pretty long and I normally wear jeans with loafers...

My ps was a torture as well. Downed 3 sizes to 27. Used the recommendation told to me as well. Eventually I was able to button everything up. But it was tortuous. And I keep having thigh abrasion afterwards. 1 year later I'm still having this problem

This kick starter also customizes jeans using cone, Italian and Japanese denim for less than $160. The attention to details is great. Belt loops tucked under, taped seams , selvedge back pockets etc.

Looks awesome. Have you bought it yet? How's the fit like

wanna ask about honeycombs, they are supposed to look like honeycombs and are crissed crossed like XXXX. mine seems to look like horizontal lines after fading though, isit because the jeans are tight and only looser fitting jeans (not skinny) will have nicer looking honeycombs?

Hey sup guys! I'm relatively new to this forum.

I have been wearing my Naked & Famous Stretch Selvedge (The Skinny Fit). I wear them about roughly 3-4days a week during school semester and occasionally during sem breaks. I bought them at waist 30 and didn't size down because my calves are kinda of muscular so sizing was kinda tight on my calves portion. But after about 6 months wear it kinda of stretch by at least 1 size on my waist, and there's more leeway on my calves region so I was wondering if there's any good tailor shop you guys might recommend to get my jeans altered to be tighter from the knee down onwards!

Happens normally to a tighter fitting jeans.

From my own experience, the honeycombs are narrower if the knee area is tighter.
IMHO, a pair of denim is like 2nd skin to the wearer. It will fade according to the lifestyle and bodyshape of the wearer, so there is hardly another identical pair as yours. This is the fun part of denim, it portrays the wearer.

Hi, sorry for the late reply.

Yes, recently back from thailand. I actually getting the flat head 20oz collab with pronto also, but that really tough pair of jean, so 16oz would be good too.
