Proper selvedge jeans

I have a feeling the fucked jeans sat in the washer aftr washing...

Oh, Chalfie...

The carharrts. Not the Edwins.

Yep that will fuck them.

what do buttons equate to in sterling?>

The Liverpool board are still struggling with that one...

If you're worried about shrinking your jeans be sure to wear them whilst wet...that way they don't away from your shape. (TBH they rarely shrink that much outside of lvc IME)

Fast spin is what causes it. And letting them sit creased in the machine. Not washing is great in theory but, you know, I have kids and a job and stuff, so infrequent washing is inevitable. Washing cold or max 30 has always worked out fine for me, but I've learned the hard way to keep the spin speed as low as poss and drip dry. Fuck those vertical creases.

Whilst I'm here, a six-month review of my Edwin ED-55 white listed black selvedge, 31x30. I guess they have had three washes. The demin is wearing nicely. Fades are there but not so obvious as both warp and weft are black. But they have stretched in the waist and shrunk in the leg more than any other pair of raw jeans I've owned, and I've owned a few. Wore then with a good inch of turn-up prior to washing. Now they are okay with an ankle boot or chunky trainer, but a bit 'no man's land' with a more trad shoe. Would buy 32 leg if I got the same again. But a really nice work jean which doesn't look knackered too quickly.

Ah. I usually wash on wool or delicate (never hotter than 30). I'm sure the spin is low, but I bet it's not low enough...

What are we talking? <800?

400 or whatever the lowest is.

right. That is burnt into my head now.

Never spin, just pull them out wet and drip dry, not worth getting the creases for a little extra convenience

You can always wear them in the shower and wash them

Anyone know how the sizing for the ED-88 is? £37 inc delivery. I'll have a bit of that.

My goodness, they're hideous... Dat jacket!

That jacket is truly awful.

Brother - they did a collaboration with them. @coldharbour

Shame, was hoping they were some shit bikes that could do with replacing!

If you wanted to talk to someone there, give me a shout as I know a few of the guys

Just got a pair of Gustin Cone Mills Summer - https://www.weargustin.com/store/1730

They're a 32 Skinny and not even close to fitting me. I have APC petit standards & petit new standards in a 32 so I'm guessing these would suit someone that usually wears a 30. I paid $103 & £18.63 customs. Anyone want them for £70 without the wait? They're in Bethnal Green.

So. How should I approach mending this?
What to use, how to do? I'm quite handy, but haven't done anything like this before.
Cone mills raw denim jacket btw.
