Anonymous asked: URGENT! im buying a new pair of raws really soon! and just want to know if 3sixteen slim tapered would be the fit as nudie jeans thin finn, cause im scared to buy it online then receive it but the fit is not how i wanted. thanks in advance

Yeah thats always tough buying jeans online, that’s why we try and give as much support as we can through the blog, email, videos and stuff on our site. The 3sixteen is a little looser than the Thin Finn’s those are a pretty snug jean. Check out some sizing charts on denimgeek.com that should help!

Anonymous asked: I have a problem with my denim. I accidentally spilled some Rivanol (Ethacridine lactate) into my left leggings. And now, the spot where the Rivanol hit has shown altered colors (shades of green). What should I do? Will soaking it again help?

Ouch, that sucks. I think if it’s been a while and the liquid has really absorbed into the fabric soaking it wont do much, but a wash could get some of it out. Sounds like a pretty cool and unique fade though man, our advice is just to rock it!

Anonymous asked: will unsanforized denim stretch more than their presoak form?

Not usually! Most of the time they’ll shrink like 2 sizes, and then stretch out maybe an inch or so like any other jean when you’re wearing it. What’s up with your jeans, did you buy them too small? 

Anonymous asked: Hi, I'm new to raw denim and was wondering do you soak new jeans before wearing them even if it is sanforized?

It’s up to you, but definitely not necessary. A lot of people soak them just to get any shrinking out of the way before they start wearing them and they start to fade. 

Anonymous asked: What are your thoughts on Pure Blue, Samurai, and Momotaro? Do you prefer any brand over the other?

Man, they’re all solid and awesome. If you have the chance and money to spend, definitely grab some. My personal preference is PBJ’s, love the slubbiness and the feather thing! But I’ve seen some sick Samurai fades, and Momos are probably the best feeling denim, super soft but still rigid. Tough call, but like I said you can’t go wrong with any of them!

Anonymous asked: Recommend any lighter colored denim for the summer?

Thvm Atelier! They had some pretty cool stuff. If you’re looking for some awesome lightweight denim check out Rogue Territory RK’s. They’re 10 ounces and perfect for summer! 

bachelorchic asked: Hey, as a tall dude I really need to know the inseam on the jeans in your store. Any chances you guys could add them onto the product descriptions? Thanks! Great blog btw... and more specifically, what are the inseams on the Big John M1 Ruri's?

Hey we will definitely do that! Most raw denim have 1 length as their inseam usually a 32” or 34”. The Bog Johns all have a 34” inseam. 

Anonymous asked: which is most slim? baldwin henley, tellason ladbroke grove, or rogue territory stanton?

Henley is one of the skinnier ones, then probably the Stantons, and then the Ladbrokes.

Anonymous asked: Why is unbranded cheaper than apc if unbranded is 14oz and apc is 12oz?

Weight isn’t everything.  Unbranded is known for being super minimalistic, and taking pride in having no labels, etc. Being made in China and taking out all the “branded” stuff allows them to drive the price down. Over the years, APC has really become known as a brand that has awesome raw denim, and we all know you pay a premium for brand names. Both are great, but before you buy really take a look at what you are looking for. If fit is really important, APC has the advantage, but you will pay for it. If you’re looking for some good denim, with an awesome price, Unbranded is the way to go! 

Anonymous asked: What do you guys think of Roy denim?

Roy is simply awesome. If you have the chance to grab some, we’d definitely recommend it. 

Anonymous asked: Hey abcdenim! Really love your blog now I open it every morning to start my day! Lol. Btw I wanna ask, I wore nudie tight long john dry stretch size 29 but I didn't quite like the whisker. So what do you suggest for a better whisker? A tappered or straight? And what is it exactly that affect the whiskers created? Really looking forward to your reply. Thanks!

Thanks for the compliment! To answer your question, it really depends on your body type. Whiskers come from the creases made when your crotch area has some room to bend and crease. So if you’ve got some tight jeans with no room to crease, you probably aren’t going to get the best whiskers. If you’re wearing some jeans with a bit of extra room in the crotch area, then the whiskers will probably be more common. So it doesn’t necessarily matter on the taper or straight fit, it’s just how much room there is in the part where the whiskers are created. I’d say though if you’d like really deep contrasting whiskers look for a jean with a higher rise so theres a lot of room to play with. Hope that makes some sense… haha :P 

Anonymous asked: I'm interested in purchasing some Made in USA raw denim but unsure of which one, I like the fit of my Levi 514's, anything with a similar fit?

Tellason John Graham Mellor! Can’t go wrong with Cone Mills American denim made in the US. Awesome denim for the price, super comfy, and great denim.
