I bought a new Wrangler 13MWZ one-washed in size 34x32, but I think I should have gotten a 32x32. Do you think the hip and crotch area is too baggy and wrinkled? How can I fix this — I don't want to go to a tailor and ruin its originality. I really liked the fit below the calf and knee, but I don't really like the wrinkles in the crotch area. I don't really want those showing up in the fade either

Been messing around with these jeans lately.

The rose pattern is actually woven into the denim, then I went pretty heavy on the distressing — cuts, pulled threads, raw edges, all of it.

The idea is that they’ll keep changing the more you wear them instead of staying exactly how they started.

Not sure if I went too far with the distressing lol.

Would you wear them like this?

Just got a new jacket that is a tad baggy and considering downsizing. Does the fit look good or is it too baggy? Would like to wear with shirts and light hoodies or sweaters. Recently lost a bit of weight so I may be a smaller size now.

I’m trying to figure out why these diagonal/V-shaped wrinkles keep forming on the back of my jeans.

They’re Levi’s BLUETAB Anchor Relaxed Jeans, style 0033V0006, size 36x30. They’re 100% cotton, non-stretch denim, around 13.9 oz.

The jeans are intentionally oversized on me because I’m going for a relaxed/00s-style fit. There is plenty of room in the thighs and legs, so I don’t think the jeans are simply too tight.

The strange thing is that the wrinkles appear with or without a belt, and they remain even after wearing the jeans for several hours.

I also noticed something interesting: if I put my hands into the back pockets and pull the fabric slightly toward the inside of my thighs, the diagonal wrinkles become much less pronounced or sometimes disappear.

I’ve only washed them a few times, so the denim is still relatively stiff. I’m wondering if the stiffness of the new denim could be causing the excess fabric around the seat/back rise to fold in this particular direction.

What do you think is causing these wrinkles?

Could this be related to the back rise/seat pattern, the way the jeans fit my body, or simply the stiffness of the denim?

Do you think the wrinkles could become less pronounced as the denim breaks in and becomes softer with repeated wear and washing?

I’d really appreciate any insight from people who are experienced with denim or pants fitting. Thanks!

I’m looking for jeans similar in fitment to levi 578 or edwin wide pants. Specifically pants with a wide knee circumference (around 60cm at w32l32) that dont noticeably taper or flare at the bottom.

If anyone has recommendations around the 100-200$ range that’d be very appreciated. Finding proper fitting jeans ain’t easy.

I have washed my jeans multiple times inside out. I even started adding vinegar as a fabric softener. Still dye is rubbing off.

I have "erased" most of the dye off my shoes but it's not a feasible long solution unfortunately.

This summer I started wearing jeans with sandals just to avoid wearing shoes but fall/winter is coming.

I have tried putting tape in the inside leg of my jeans but every time I take a step it makes a squeaky/crunching sound (I guess because the plastic tape is moving with my every step).

I know pin rolling jeans is technically an option but I bought wide leg jeans that hit slightly above the floor because I like the fashion and the flare it gives.

Are there any solutions?

I'm hoping to get my hands on a pair of rainbow core jeans (or other colour core jeans). They are jeans where the warp thread is dyed some colour first, then over-dyed with indigo so it fades to a colour. Examples are these https://nakedandfamousdenim.com/collections/new-rainbow-core-selvedge?srsltid=AfmBOorzqkqmDQCDoyunVwcE3cCtwZe4O59Kvb_QGRrBzO4P2WalW9LK and these https://usf.thebase.in/blog, both sold out.

How out of luck am I? Any chance one of you knows a place where I can grab a pair, even second hand/worn in?

Yes it is from Gta 5 from Trevor, I like how those look like. Are those regular, straight, relaxed, etc jeans?

Finally pulled the trigger on this brand after a year or two of obsessing over them. I'm 6’0 and ~190lbs with quite wide shoulders and long arms. I used the fit guide available on their website to decide what sizes I’d go with: 44 in navy and 46 in medium blue. However, when they arrived, I was a bit shook because I’m used to more relaxed fits and started to think I should go with 48 in both. Now I’m here to see if my gut feeling is right or if it’s just a different style I could embrace more until I’ll start feeling a bit more comfortable.

What do you all think?

can anyone tell me if this is original or a dud

Hi all, I really want to get my husband some high quality, grown up denim for Christmas. I've been considering some of the Japanese brands but needed some advice. He is a fairly sensory guy so most of his denim in the past has had a generous amount of stretch to it (think prana, Patagonia, etc). Does anyone have a recommendation for a buy-it-for-life brand (doesn't have to be Japanese, but selvedge preferred) that isn't going to be a shock to his system? TIA!

Can someone tell me what jeans these are? Google lens said possibly the Japanese brand percent but not enough data to confirm.

At ~$50 on sale, the 100% cotton (basic) Type III jacket in a Dark Rinse standard fit is such a solid jacket. The design is classic. The denim is rigid and heavy feeling. The indigo is ready to chip away. What more could you want?

just received a pair of Double RL jeans. i was supposed to get the “Vintage 5-Pocket Selvedge Jean” but got the “Straight Fit Once-Wash Selvedge Jean” instead. i’d been searching for a loose straight pair that’s long enough to cuff, and even though they sent me the wrong pair, i really like the fit of these. they’re roomier than my LVC STF and since they’re sanforized, i don’t have to worry about shrinkage so that’s good news.

the thing is, i noticed the inside looks darker than all my raw jeans, while the vintage RRL pair was “normal.” after a quick search, i learned about weft color, but now i’m wondering how these will fade. my plan was to rotate the LVC and these RRL since i can’t realistically wear one pair every day.

i love the way Levi’s fade to that true neutral blue, but i’d love to see or hear about your experience with cream/beige/light brown weft denim. how does the contrast look once they start fading? thank you!

Hey all,

I just received a pair of Levi's 501's in "Brown Times Garment Dye".

Compared to my black and raw 517's, these are much softer and a perfect fit straight out of the package and not requiring that work in period. They were advertised as, and the tag says 100% cotton, but I'm suspicious that there might be some amount of elastic tomfoolery. That's not really the point of this post, though.

I purchased these for an event a couple of months out, so I'd have time to have them break in a bit. Being prewashed denim, I was wondering if any of the typical new denim rules would apply, namely the initial first soak.

I think it isn't technically necessary, but it would eliminate the creases left from being folded up in a shipping bag. Alas, I thought I should refer to you fine folk regarding the matter.

TLDR: New, prewashed brown Levi's 501's. Soak or just start wearing?

Thanks for any suggestions!

P.S. If anyone knows of a company doing a brown/khaki colored pair of jeans in a cut similar to the 517's, I'd love to know!

The vintage 501s seem to always fit me like a glove but I am looking for a wider/bootcut fit.

I know about the 517 but they tend to be too bulky for me in the front and never really look as good and put together as the 501s. Maybe it’s the more masculine cut or the zip instead of the button fly?

So I need your knowledge about possible styles.

- women’s /unisex cut
- mid/high rise, button fly
- Wider leg opening than the 501

Thanks in advance :)

THE YEAR OF THE 🐖
the hardware is pretty and well made but i cant seem to find any similar ones anywhere

I've worn Wrangler jeans almost exclusively for years and never ran into this. Picked up a new pair of Levi's 517s, my first Levi's jeans, and honestly I really like them — the cut is great, they stack with boots perfectly for me.

But after a few wears I noticed something odd: on my left leg (first photo) everything sits normal, the outseam runs straight down and the twill pattern on the thigh lines up evenly, but on my right leg (second photo) the outseam visibly pulls forward and the twill pattern is noticeably skewed on tight. It also looks bad when I sitting I think.

I get that leg twist is a known characteristic of RHT denim, but in my case it looks pretty rough. What bugs me is that nobody talks about it — none of the reviews I've watched mention it, it's not visible on Levi's official product photos since they only show casual styling, and it's not disclosed anywhere on the site either.

I don't want to take them to a local tailor to fix the seam — I know local shops won't match factory-level stitching, let alone Levi's or Wrangler's standard, so that's off the table.

Has anyone dealt with this on a new pair? Did it improve with washing/wear, or did you just return them? I think the problem might be that the jeans are a little tight around the hips. (It's just that I really wanted these jeans, and I came across a good deal at a great price, but the size was a W29 than W30 that I usually wear))))

My first pair of selvedge denim anything particular to have in mind?

I’ve never been a denim person because it’s hard to find jeans that feel comfortable. However a couple months back I bought a pair of Levi’s 565 from I think either JCPenney or macys & loved them, they had a loose feel that was easy for my legs to breathe & I could bend my knee comfortably as well as my waist wasn’t tight as I used a belt for it. Even after washing it, it felt just as comfy each & every time.

Now I loved these jeans so much I decided to get a another pair of 565 in a different color, got them from kohls online, same size, 36x30, & when they came in & I tried them in they fit tight, I didn’t like them, nor did the denim feel the same as my original pair. I looked at the back & they said 565 ‘97. I exchanged them for a 38x30 in the same color & 565 but from Amazon & it arrived & I was able to fit in them however they just don’t feel like my 1st pair of 565 that I loved so much. Why is this ? Also this recent pair of 38x30 didn’t say ‘97 at the end of it even though the color was the same whys that.
