Just got a quick question. I bought a pair of Uniqlo selvage jeans and the leg fits fine but the waist is quite big is there any way of just shrinking thewaist and not the leg?

^ if they're raw denim only thing I can think of hot- soaking the waist and not the legs. however that could potentially make the color not match the lowerpart of the denim.

The ones on the bottom are from where they were cuffed
I have one clue on how the inseams got holes in them
even stevens are paper thin anyways.

Wow, ive never been in this thread but there are nice jeans out there.
But i gotta question, I've been looking for colored jeans for a while (i.e. green, red, purple), can someone recommend me a brand that carries a lot ofcolored denim?

My first of raw denim. I like them and they've gradually become really comfortable. Barely 40 wears in or so = haven't washed them and/or nosignificant fading/tearing.

Will a cold soak for an hour get rid of some of the excess dye? What's the best way to get rid of some of the dye without losing its color ?

I'm a few months in on my second pair of LV jeans. Compared to all the other brands I've had raw denim jeans from over the years (Nudie, True Religion,Antik, and Evisu), these have bled the least. They're dark navy, but haven't destroyed any of my shoes. They also don't stretch out very much atall. I have a pair of D&G's that were way too tight when I bought them and now they've stretched out to be way too big.
If you can tolerate the +$400 price tag, I'd highly recommend trying LV raw denim. I'll post pics of my progress with them latertoday.

Real Japan Blues Jeans - The 106BSP & 105BSP
Hailing from Nagano, Japan.. Real Japan Blues is known for their psychotic ways of producing even the simplest of garments. They take everything from westernshirts to five pocket jeans and create them in an entirely new way using fabrics that impress even the most seasoned garment junkie.
Two new models from RJB are being released this weekend in limited numbers, at this point RJB is not sure as to whether or not these will be reproduced oncethis run is gone.
The 106BSP is a slim fit jean with a straight leg and the 105BSP has a mid-rise and a straight leg. We're quite into the cuts because we feel there is agap in the Japanese denim market for jeans that aren't exactly reproductions but have a heavy nod to the Rockabilly days of the late 1950's, jeans thatmake you look like you're Marlon Brando or James Dean but aren't really the cuts they were wearing fifty years ago. A combination of the denim, legsilhouettes, tags, and knife pocket.. We see a badass from the 50's that wreaks havoc on civilians with his motorcycle gang, and we love it.
The denim on these is a new denim which has impressed us here to say the least. It's similar to Flat Head's 3XXX denim in terms of how hairy it becomesafter the first soak but has a deeper indigo color straight off. The dye method yields an extremely high contrast fade which we'd only seen this intensebefore on Flat Head's denim, yet it's quite different considering it's pure indigo and the cotton is from Zimbabwe.
Spec list for both the 106BSP and 105BSP:
13.75oz Rope Dyed Japanese Selvedge Unsanforized Denim
Zimbabwe Cotton Fiber Denim
Double Length Knife Pocket (Coin Pocket)
Hidden Rivets
Black Dyed Cowhide Leather Tag
Red RJB Embroidered Logo
Copper RJB Rivets
Modeled by Cesar Ramos of Mission Hill Saloon and shot by Sidney Lo.
Both the 105BSP & the 106BSP will be released at Self Edge on December 20th at Noon and at the same time via our online store. 100 pairs of each model wereproduced by RJB. Check the online store for more hi-res photos, specs, and pricing:

Been reading this through the post and i have been convinced to delve into some new denim,
whats the difference between "dry selvedge" and "raw organic" or "inorganic" and "organic" for that matter.
Thanks in advance.
