Really happy with the charcoals. I did hate on the formosa's due to the nappy suede, but I guess I ain't a hater anymore. I did want the ox bloods too, but I'll trust Threegeeees opinion. If any of you have seen Asics leather, you kinda have low expectations from the get go.
I don't see the similarity between the souvenir jackets and the sneakerness. Are you saying the sneakerness joints are even more underwhelming in person?
FYI, right after a wash I've found my denim to bleed quite a bit on my sneakers. And to the dude who claimed denim bleeding = fufu quality, that is not true. My s710xx's, ub288, and momotaro 0605 have bled on my lighter colored sneakers.
But nudies ain't high quality, I would rate them similar...
Asides from rawr denim, I used styleforum, Sufu, and ironheart forums for sizing. I think I may have used styleforum/sufu for APC sizing, way before I knew of the raw denim subreddit. I sized down two waist sizes to get a slim fit for my new standards. Waist is still stretched out to ~32 while...
Ordered W998LL from concepts for $108 and almost ordered the wrong size. Been looking for some pool blues for a while. Interesting that NB just started to release the women's version now.
Scott from Don't mourn organize has great quality leather. His prices went up, but he has been recommended in a lot of denim forums (IH, sufu, SF) from years past. He had the cheapest customized belts/leather goods for years. I have a Japanese repro wallet and black (saddle?) belt from him.
Good looks on the t&c collab. If I knew they would go on sale I would have waited. The optical whites have gotten a lot of wears. The toebox creases like crazy, I'll definitely be buying more in the future, most other companies have been quite a let down this year and last. Repped
My 998BB's just arrived too. Worn twice, they still got the factory smell. Mudguard/shape of the right shoe is also larger than the left. At least the factory cut has been consistent throughout the years lol. J crews are a little disappointing.
Nudies are sanforized so they are already pre shrunk. Otherwise, for unsanforized denim you would want to get alterations done after they have been hot soaked once or twice to get rid of more shrinkage. You should use Reddit's rawr denim or superfuture's denim thread for references. Also, make...
