Do it, PRPS is known for their great quality. A step above Nudie and APC, which are known for their crotch blowouts. I'm a month in on mine, I'll post pics this weekend.

So what is the rule of thumb for buying selvedge denim? I'm hearing "they will shrink, take the next waist and length size up" and "they will stretch, size down 1 or 2." Does it depend on the brand? I live in SF so I can check out Self Edge but would ideally like to buy online since it may have better deals. BTW looking for a slim fit, not skinny.

If they're unsanforized they'll shrink when you wash them. All jeans stretch with wear. How much they shrink/stretch will vary brand to brand.

I am a big fan of Naked and Famous, but I have never owned a pair to comment on quality. I heard it is good though.
this is what is left of Karmaloop's stock. I am not a fan of many of the jeans they put out this season though.

I don't know what other online stores these can be bought at :/
If someone can help me out that would be cool.
OP I suggest waiting till the next season before ordering from Karmaloop, I'm positive it will be more bomb than what they have now.

N&F are all over the place
tateandyoko.com
blueowl.us
they are even on gilt fairly often.
the only N&F I have and would buy are their collaborations

I have the original release of the N&F indigo/indigo slub. I think the pair from this past season is a bit lighter than the original Barney's exclusive.
Thinking about buying the "rainbow" fades they just release.

Any jeans from other brands comparable to Levis 508s? Maybe even a little slimmer?

Denim Surgeon (NYC) has a good groupon deal on denim repairs (crotch blowouts, holes etc). You can also send them in by mail.

I'm a big APC and N&F fan. Both hold up extremely well and after a years worth of daily wear look great! With APCs however I would size down 1 or 2 as they fit bigger than most jeans, N &Fs are pretty straight forward.

I think sizing down 2 is a mistake too many people make. Unless you have no @#$ or thighs, I wouldn't recommend it. When I first bought APCs all the forums said to do that, and I ended up with skin tight jeans I couldn't move in even after almost a month of wear
The amount of stretching is exaggeratedand if it matters, I don't wear loose jeans. My New Standards that I sized down one on fit like this after stretching out (although I hemmed/tapered my pair)
If you ask dudes on Superfuture though, they'll say that it's baggy

Those don't look baggy, but it doesn't really look slim either. You probably just don't have filled out legs, which isn't a big deal. They look great

This man speaks the truth, my thighs on my PS are too tight now - I should have only sized down one
Dudes on SuFu are so out there, their fits are clean some times but other times they're amusing as hell to look at

Actually I think the mistake most people make is looking at the tagged size ad not the actual measurements and think that by buying a pair with a tagged size 2 below their usual size they are actually getting a pair that is 2 inches smaller in the waist. MOST APCs except pcs I think measure 2 sizes below the tagged size. A tagged 30 measures at 32. So when you "size down 2" you are actually not sizing down at all.

That too.
Speaking of APCs...I bought my first pair of APCs in 2008/2009 (forgot which year exactly) for $145...My new pair cost me $180
Come on, inflation can't make the price go up THAT much.

The problem is that no one actually knows the real measurements
All across the net there are discrepancies on the size charts for APCs. I personally find it hilarious, APC sizing is really a process of trial and error more than anything.

Exactly what I meant. But ill be honest I do have some skinny legs but im 5'10 170 and size 32s are butter for me. Side note that pic up there that fit looks fine to me they dont see too tight nor to baggy but just right.

What is the proper way to wash jeans? Not raw denim, just some Levis. Haven't washed em since I bought em. :x
