Don't know if you are interested but these are the jeans. On sale on the corner for $98.00 and if you use the 20% discount (autumn20), they come out to 78.00...not bad I guess considering normal levi's go for 20 less than that in a store

I just tried on the stealth SKs and Stantons yesterday. The dude working there has two pairs of Rogues so we talked about sizing for a while. I tried on a 29 and 30 in SK, and a 28 in Stanton. The 28's were very tight, but I could button it after a while. If they stretch only an inch like the site and the retail dude said, they will fit perfect.

Don't fucking throw them away you retard. Worst case scenario you have to give them a slight wash in the tub and scrub the gummed area a bit with some dish soap or whatever google tells you is the thing to use. Maybe you'll get a little spot of weird fading right in that area, but who fucking cares, isn't that the whole fucking idea of raws? To get them to fade in an individual, unique and interesting way?

And don't start with that whole "my raws got washed before I wore them for 17 years, they're totally ruined cuz muh sik fadez" nonsense. The jeans will still fade after you wash them. Maybe not quite as quickly, maybe you will lose a little dye and sacrifice a tiny bit of contrast, but fuck, man. You have to wash them eventually. Get over it.

I got a pair of Rick Owens Detroit jeans, and the color is extremely dark blue/black. The guy at the store I bought them from (who I've spoken with many times, he seems very knowledgeable) said after a long time they should fade a bit, but rather than having clearly distinct bright fade lines they would have darker fade lines as the jeans were sewn with black under the blue. I'm curious what the fuck dark fade lines will look like. The jeans are sweet though, I'm too lazy to care4rawz.
