Proper selvedge jeans

30% off at Edwin with SS13SALE as a voucher code if anyone's interested. Only on the items at the page that I linked though, so a bit limited.

Damn. I like those ED-47s but they're sold out in my (fat little man) size.

Just got a pair of Albam slim fits for a pressy.
How much do they really shrink? The label says up to an inch but I thought they were sanforized.

I'll probably get them hemmed kind of short anyway (60's/mod) but if they're going to shrink an inch I could end up with proper ankle swingers. I'd rather wear them raw for a while but not with a 5" turn up #notjoeorton

They don't shrink that much (neither of mine have at all). Albam can do the alterations for you as well.

^cheers,
I probably should have gone down a size then.
Ah well, I thought they'd be a slimmer fit.
Seem like really nice denim though and I can't afford/justify any more LVC 505s.

Talking of cheaper selvedge did Uniqlo stop doing the all japan jeans? I had a pair that wore really well but cant see them on their site.

No they dont make them anymore, but you can sometimes pick them up on ebay.

You could just take them back and get a size smaller?

I really like my albam jeans

Shame about the Uniqlo jeans. I guess they were too 'cheap' for denim snobs and too expensive for Uniqlo punters.
Been wearing the Albam's at home all evening - I think taking them back might be a problem. I'm 'skinny' at the moment and don't want jeans with slack I might be tempted to fill up.
'Put down the pie'.

^Once got a pair of black Uni Qlo selvedges on sale for £19.99 boooooooyaaaa. Shame that 34" now drops to my ankles as they're too big.

I've had two pairs of albams and they don't shrink at all. Or rather, they shrink in the wash, then stretch back out again. Length I don't know though, i'd wear them for a while and wash them a few times before altering.

Managed to pick up two pairs on here, effectively un-worn for £20 and £25 :)

JB - still have?

JB - still has. Surely you're not a 34" waist? Will see what condition they're in, canny remember to be honest.

I've got those Naked & Famous Weird Guy jeans in a 32" if anyone wants them. They've stretched out to a 34 and are way too big for me.

Worn about 6 times, unwashed.

Son of stag maybe? Or http://www.thedenimdoctor.co.uk/ ?

I signed up to two of the Gustin projects - the 13 and the super light. Both closed in the last week, payment taken overnight so it should be another month or so before they rock up. Roughly $200 for 2 pairs of slevedge jeans seems like a fair deal to me.

I look forward to hearing how everyone gets on with the kickstarter selvedge.

Would be good to get some reviews when people have their grubby paws on 'em

The RPMwest kickstarter was a success, money has been taken and now waiting for the email to come out so I can submit size etc.

Happy to do so.

I ran across these guys whilst doing some poking around. Some various bits on sale for cheaps with the shipping to the UK for is $20. $78 for a pair seems like a low risk option.

^ Never understood webshops selling jeans like that. Why would I buy a pair of jeans, cheap or not, that I have no idea about the fit of
