  • Good to know. Have a pair needing urgent attention.

  • Need a new pair of jeans. Slevedge obviously but need a 36 leg my inseam is 35inch.

    Love my Levi’s. Wouldn’t mind slightly more tapered but need a normal thigh. The 1947 fit me great. But really are a shade short now they’ve shrunk.

    Any suggestions? Can’t see a 36leg in Levi’s. Maybe should go to a shop and try some other brands.

  • Some Edwins are quite long. i have a pair of 32"/32" Nashvilles and turn them up at least 1".

    OTOH, ED-39s in 34" leg fit ok with no turn up, so it's not very consistent. I had to try on load of pairs.

  • 3sixteen and rogue territory are all 36 inseam I think. I have some naked and famous skinny guys that are over 36 so could be worth a look too

  • Thanks. Seems that the shop mentioned before rivet and hide has them, among others. Think I’ll go and have a look in person and get some advice and try some different brands. Want something that’ll last years.

  • Bought some rogue territory at Rivet & Hide recently and had to have a considerable amount taken off the length. Iron Heart options were also pretty long in the inseam. I'm sure they'll have something that'll work

  • Can confirm that all RGT jeans are 36 inseam

  • Thanks both. Will go to the shop next time I'm in town.

  • I got some Unbranded brand jeans a few weeks ago that are at least 36 inseam, maybe more. They're 21oz too so should last a while.

  • Not sure if anyone is interested in a pair of Pure Blue (Japan) denim?

    Details below, size 30.

    Can be flexible on price although not massively! PM if interested.

  • Lovely... but so short.

  • Picked up a pair from uniqlo basic wearers the cut fits me well. Will be interesting to see how they last.

  • Not sure about where you are but over here Edwin Japanese selvedge seems really good value to me. Good sales on most of the time as well. No chance in hell im wearing selvedge in 30c and >80% humidity though.

  • Not found any Edwin here in HK, they would do well with a store here, japanese goods always a favorite, beams have a few stores here and do some nice bits, the uniqlo purchase was more out of interest than need, like you once March hits the humidity rockets so chinos and shorts from then, there is a small 3month window for denim in HK. End of Nov,Dec and start of Feb.

  • Where did you get them from @Dry... really good jeans for the price

  • @Johnnyw75 I was up in Sheffield a few weeks ago and stopped in at a awesome new store Clobber Calm.

  • Ah yea I know Clobber Calm, he's grown quite a bit in a short amount of time... you'll have to let us know how they fade etc, with 21oz I'm guessing they're gonna be pretty epic

  • Had a few repairs done at the dry cleaners mentioned on d’arblay. Thanks very much. £8 each for some very good repairs.

  • That should to know, two solid recommendationa there.

  • New Selvedge from Howies made with AMC Mills selvedge.

  • I just bought a pair of these. I'm sending them back.

    Right out of the packet when I opened up the fly to try them on one of the buttons flew off!
    They're also supposed to be 'slim fit'. They are not. Very baggy in the thigh and knees (I don't have small thighs!) and too narrow at the ankle for roll-ups to work.

    Shame. I had high hopes.

  • Good to know, I'm going to be in the market for a new pair later in the year and will stick to one of the other UK brands.

  • The stupidly pricy Nudie "paper denim†" jeans I got for my birthday in November have developed a crotch hole already. Weird location though, at the front of the main seam junction.

    I am not best pleased and will be crafting a strongly worded complaint.

    † maybe the choice of material was a bad start...

  • I’m doing the same. Fit is odd, also they are a far lighter blue than I was expecting.

  • Status quo vibes..
