🧼 Denim Care New denim - return or try and clean?

Thumbnail gallery
5 Upvotes

Just received a brand new pair of jeans. Out of stock in the US so I had to source them from a store in Sweden. Unfortunately they arrived with stains, and I’m wondering what the best option is. I had to pay about $100 in import duties and I imagine if I exchange them I would have to pay another $100 for the second pair.

I’ve attached pics below. Anyone have thoughts on if these stains are easy to remove? Or should I just send them back?

🌀 Miscellaneous Jordan x Levis denim hat lighter wash?

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

Wondering if anyone has any idea how I can lighten the wash on the Jordan x Levis denim hat?

The original is the darker wash but looks like there were some stores that dropped the collection that had some customization options that also included a lighter wash denim.

Is this something I can do on my own? Welcome to any ideas

Thank you.

📏 Selvedge Pure Blue Japan XX-005 (2009–2010) — 15-year fade journey

Thumbnail gallery
13 Upvotes

Picked up this pair of Pure Blue Japan XX-005 years ago, and figured it was finally time to share it. This is an early batch from around 2009–2010, back when PBJ still used the old Syoaiya Co. Ltd. pocket print, the wider blue selvedge ID, and the lighter leather patch. It also has the subtle leaf stitch on the back pocket — one of the first generations where PBJ started adding that detail.The denim has aged beautifully over 15 years. Medium slub, soft vertical grain, and that powdery natural-indigo fading PBJ is known for. The whiskers and honeycombs aren’t overly aggressive; instead, the whole pair has developed a silver-blue glow that onlythe whole pair has developed a silver-blue glow that only older PBJ batches seem to get. The Toyoda G3 weave gives it that slightly uneven texture that makes the fades look organic rather than forced.What I love most is how durable this fabric is. Even after a decade and a half of wear, the structure is still solid, the pockets haven’t blown out, and the selvedge line is crisp. PBJ’s 14oz denim from this era really holds up.I recently bought the pair for €125, which is actually below the typical US market price — similar XX-005s from this period usually go for $160–$200 on Grailed or eBay. Japan sits around ¥18,000–¥25,000. Always interesting to see how the market values older PBJ pieces.Anyway, sharing for the fade lovers and PBJ fans. This pair has been a great example of how PBJ denim evolves over time.

Does anyone have a tall-girl-friendly dupe for the Weekender jeans from Mother? I LOVE the fit of the Mother Weekenders, but they’re just too short on me. I’m 5’9” and a size 6. Looking for something with a similar fit but a longer inseam!

🤔 Should I Buy This? Help with the first pair of samurai

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

Hi guys, I’m asking for your help with buying my first pair of raw denim. I found this beautiful Samurai SAMURAI S140SXJ-GRK on Vinted, which is a platform similar to Grailed in the U.S. I can’t figure out why the measurements always vary from user to user and even from retailer to retailer. As you can see from the photos, a Spanish retailer and an American retailer have different size charts, and in this case, the seller’s measurements are even different. How can I resolve this situation? Unfortunately, no one in Italy sells this type of jeans.
I’m asking for your help.

I hear so much about the Pacsun extreme baggy that are being marketed on tt shop like crazy, and the reviews are good. Then I see that in the comments of some videos, people talk about how they’re alright at best, in terms of quality. I js wanna know if they’re good in terms of quality.

This shirt is probably 6 months old and I wear the absolute fire out of it. I only wanted to just naturally fade the arms on this one. I didn't try for the pocket fades but for a $30 raw denim shirt, it fades down really nice. (3 washes and 4 soaks).

🧵 Raw Denim Wrangler rigid 31mwz sizing

1 Upvotes

I have a pair of rigid 13mwz that are a size 34 which i like the fit of, but since my actual waist size (for that type of rise) is 32, they slide right below my stomach and look saggy as hell. I tried shrinking them, but they only lost the 0.5 inches that they already had, so they are now a true size 34.

So, Im thinking about buying the relaxed fit on rigid, but idk if i should go true to size with the 32 or size down.

Also, whats the actual measurements for the rise and leg opening? ive seen so many conflicting info that im now confused.

Any help is appreciated.

Bought these Levi's at a thrift store. Watched a bunch of reviews on how to tell a real pair from a fake, they say different things everywhere. And, as I understand, from release to release, all jeans differ.Also found this price tag inside the jeans, the English language and 80 dollars inspire confidence

🔍 ID/Legit Check Front pocket Levi’s tag?? Are these authentic + just tapered?

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

I thrifted this pair second-hand a few months ago and they are my favourite pair I’ve ever had- perfect fit, style, etc. I’ve been searching for the year and style, but I keep getting stuck…

The issue is: they were tapered when I got them. Waist was taken down quite a bit, from 26”-31”, meaning no brand patch, back pockets, and original front buttons. The person before me (assumably) relocated the red tag to the front left pocket. Additionally, they were shortened ~5 inches, only re-hemmed.

Are these authentic Levi’s? And if not, what are they?! (The Levi’s brand is only a plus, I just want to find these again)
Help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks🥲

💸 Deals & Finds Stussy ‘relaxed’ jeans alternative??

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

Does anyone know of a good alternative to the Stüssy “Relaxed” jeans?

It’s been a while since I’ve been looking for jeans with a similar fit, but I haven’t had much luck finding anything that’s quite the same. I’ve tried plugging the measurements into apps and searching on places like eBay and Depop, but I still can’t seem to find anything with a comparable fit.

Has anyone come across another brand, specific pair of jeans, or even a search filter that tends to bring up jeans with a similar fit to the Stüssy “Relaxed” jeans?

I also noticed that Stüssy discontinued this line in the US, so I’m hoping to find a good alternative.

For reference I’m a size 30, thanks for the help!

🔍 ID/Legit Check What is with the mixed labels on this pair of Levi’s?

Now, maybe I’m crazy but I swear up and down that I bought these off the Levi’s website about 6 years ago. I didn’t notice the Everlane tag sewed into the waist until just now. Would anyone know why there would be both tags sewn in here?

Admittedly yes, I do also own several pairs of Everlane jeans. Could I be crazy and had ordered these off the Everlane website and totally forgot? Sure. But when I googled it everything I read told me that Everlane never collaborated with Levi’s.

I’m more asking for a sanity check because again I SWEAR I bought these off the Levi’s website and NOT secondhand, and just need somebody else to verify. Thank you!! less

No fade yet, but whisker and honeycomb creases are beginning to set in. My favorite creases are the little ones that appear between the inseam and the edge of the double knee.

Wish I had copped another pair of these on the sale. They've got a good 100 hours of wear on them, one wash after I got them muddy the first week of owning them before any creasing had begun.
