My good news this week is the Timberland jeans that I liked - but was never too happy about the alteration - have been replaced. A rivet fell off so I took them back to the store and they gave me a brand new pair - obviously unaltered.
I'm going to send them to this guy - http://www.thedenimdoctor.co.uk/ - and have them chainstitched the right length.

soak just the hems to leach out the indigo, tape em up or just wear dark shoes until they stop.

3sixteen quality is solid, if you're looking for something cheaper, id say maybe nudie grim time, even cheaper would be naked and famousdoes anyone have experience with 3sixteens? im looking for a levis 511 kind of fit. if not, alternatives that might work (besides apc
edit: slim guys over weird guys due to 511s being straight leg, forgot about that :X

i think you'll like slim guys

naked and famous has good prices for just starting out

thin finn or slim jims, i believe

i think naked and famous is gonna be most comparable and cheaper than APC - weird guy has the tapered leg but low rise compared to the mid rise of the 710s
or nudies, but you're gonna have to raise your budget a little bit from APCs -- maybe thin finn? not sure how you'd like the low yoke though

i apologize for mostly repeating myself between only nudie and naked and famous, i only want to recommend what I know and have confidence in, which leaves those 2 brands within the 140-225 price point -- there's a ton of other amazing denim brands out there, but i don't want anyone breaking their wallets if they're just starting out. APC is a solid brand, I just can't agree with their price increase when they haven't made any substantial improvements to justify it.
feel free to let us know if you guys find any great brands, i'm a huge fan of variety
Sorry for the wall of replies, and the slow responses, I just finished wrecking my DATs

No, I'm in the UK.
The original alteration was okay. No-one would have known anything - but if you looked closely it wasn't great and that always annoyed me.
That guys prices for alterations are about the same as the local people around here - but obviously he's a lot better. I'll have to spend about $8 mailing him the jeans and then it's the same. Should be worth it I think.

how the hell do i shrink a pair of nudies?
bought some dry broken twill slim jims today and they're a big too wide in the leg opening.
I took them to the wash
washed them in hot water
dried them on high heat
...didn't shrink. Lost a bit of indigo, though.
edit
tried them on & they did shrink in the thigh area a bit.
Should i just get them tailored?

definitely NOT slim jims. thin finns will probably be the closest to n&f skinny guys
