r/Selvedge

Hello Everyone, I’ve recently bought my first pair of selvedge denim and i’m looking for some tips on how to deal with an issue I have encountered with my new pair.

During my recent trip to Japan I made it over to the legendary Hinoya store and bought a pair of their in house denim, the specific model is the Burgus Plus - 1928 Cinch Back 928. Now while trying out different models in the dark changing room and being a bit overstimulated by the crowded environment I did not notice that the pair had some excess fabric bunching up in the back causing some unflattering creases. The sales assistant helping me also never brought it up and recommended that specific pair as being the most flattering so I naively ended up going for that one.

Is there anything I can do to get rid of this? I know from some research that this specific pair is modeled after older denim and that it will never have that “modern” structured look so I do not expect miracles.

I’ve only worn the pair once since getting it because i’m worried that I’ll get some ugly fades from it. It also, in my opinion, doesn’t look very flattering.

I have asked ChatGPT for some advice and it suggested I give the denim a cold soak to soften the fabric and manually stretch out the area while it’s still wet to try to get rid of the folds. It also suggested that over time it might just go away by itself, however as a total novice i’m a bit hesitant to trust the clankers advice.

Thank you so much in advance to everyone for sparing any time and advice to help me out :)

I’ve worn these nudies like three or four times a week since August last year and never washed them. I expected faster fades when I got them to be honest. But now I’m impatient and want the contrast, question is if I will regret it if I wash them already. I don’t know what to expect as a result. Would you keep wearing these or wash them as they are right now?

And no, I promise, they don’t smell.

Bought these jeans about 8 months ago, I’ve been using them as a daily pair. These are the ub red weft wide straight. I’ve Been Wearing these about 5 times week for 6 months. These are not my first ub, I love their build quality and prices. I wish they would release unique jeans more often. I have also bought their 22oz, 21oz black and 21oz indigo over the past years.
Love heavy weight denim, I live in Canada and winters become quite cold, having thick denim keeps me isolated with some underpants, all while being swagged out for winter!
I wore these cuffed with a red belt more often than not, didn’t want to get them all salty and dirty dragging in the streets of Montreal. Now that the snow is gone I’ve recently decided to start helping the city of Montreal and clean the floors, all while letting the heal bite grow. Can’t wait to see what these look like 2-3 years down the line.
Go get them while you still can.

I found these for $4 at the thrift. Can i get help on year & value? I've never heard of these until now.

These are Edwin SKEwed 201 One Pocket pants size 32 (that’s my size for all jeans I have). I’m seeking advice on how I could make the shape to have more a balloon fit so that it stops scrunching up so much in the crotch region. These are high rise and I am wearing them like so (top button on the jeans sits right on top of belly button).
I have not washed these jeans yet and am considering it. If I should wash them, should I soak just the top block in hot water? Should I throw into washing machine?
(I really like the width of the pants except the upper part has a bad fit).

Thank you!

Thinking about getting an ecru wide/relaxed fit Selvedge next. Any suggestions?

Thanks 😊

A good friend of mine just recently took a trip to Japan and asked me if I wanted anything. My words verbatim “hold off on the matcha kits and grab me some denim” he delivered. 🤝 👖

Got a Double RL vintage 5 pocket in Vinted for a great price. Shouldn’t they been made in USA ? 😅
