RAW DENIM brahs!

[beefdogbeef]

Fuk. When will it be mine turn to wear jeans like this... Can anyone provide insight as to whether this look is strictly for slimmer brahs or can a bigger brah like me pull it off? Curious.

I need to update my profile, I'm slimmer now but when I was bigger I found APC New Standards to be a regular cut and stretch like fcuk so they moulded to a certain extent. These would be your best bet.

Most of the aesthetic denim cuts people are posting are probably tapered or slim fit.

How big are you? My phone doesn't show stats...

In general bigger guys just can't pull off skinny jeans. Slim or straight cut is much better. I'm not a big fan of skinnies anyway, but on bigger folks they create a woman hips illusion

Just ordered a pair of N&F Weird Guys in size 30 off Revolve. The waist is comfortable as is, but they are pretty tight in the thighs/ass. I'm afraid of them ending up too big after stretching; I don't want to have to wear a belt every time I want to wear them. If I downsized to size 29 would the thighs/ass be significantly tighter, or am I better off sticking with the 30?

Currently owned pair of grim tim DDO for 2 years. 2 washes and 1 initial soak

Think Im going to finally start a new pair of denim this christmas. Undecided on what pair I want though

Does anyone here own a pair of Elephant WG 3s? Do they stretch?

I've been wearing a pair of WG 34s for about a year. They fit comfortably around the quads, but the waist stretched to probably a 36. Knowing this, I sized down to a size 32 WG for my Elephant 3 purchase, but after receiving them, my quads and crotch are suffocating in them. Anyways, I can barely stand being in them for more than 3-4 hours. Will they stretch, or am I wearing them for no reason?

Lol you did the exact opposite of what I did with my first couple pairs.
I started with a 32, and they were way too tight in the quads even after stretching.
Went to a 34 and was happy at first even though the waist was too big then it stretched a ridiculous amount.
Try a 33 brah.

Jesus how bad you going to let it get before you repair it?

Are crotch blowouts as common with N&F as nudies because you dont appear to have that much wear in those pants yet the crotch is fuking shredded.

Yep.

A week after I got them repaired I got a little tear in them. New spots, not pre existing ones too.

Even on rawrdenim.com now people are NOT recommending Naked and Famous Weird Guys for bodybuilders. I'd go for other brands. I got some J Brands now

sucks that karmaloop no longer allows promo codes to be used on N&F jeans

[MyBaddBrah]

N&F Weird Guy brahs..

Do these shrink after you soak them?

[mikevall]

my unbranded are still too legit tight, what the fock do i do

[YouTickledBro]

Yeah they do. Or at least I just tested out promo code ERLYBIRD and it took the money off.










Currently trying to decide on a new pair of denim. Probably go N&F but they have so many fuking choices and it makes it difficult to decide on a pair. Any suggestions from you guys?

Try the deep indigos. Or if you like heavier denim, get the elephant 3s

Any bay area miscers know of a good tailor? Need to take my NFs in for some fixing

im a noob tryna figure out my first pair of raw denims. I want to get the Naked & Famous but im stuck at picking out the sizing, i feel like im reading a lot of contradicting stuff.

in regular jeans i wear a 32 x 34, but all these sizings i find for raw's only say like 33, (is that 33x33?)

how do i figure out full dimensions. should i size up or down?


Edit: reps if someone just links me an aesthetic pair in my size

Here is the size chart for the Weird Guys:

Your quads look pretty juicy, so make sure you measure by your quads and not your waist.
Chances are, you'll have to size up and end up with a waist that is too big.
If it's way too big, you can get the waist taken in (Viper did it successfully), or just try to find a different brand.
And most raws will have a set length that you can get them in then have them taken down if they're too long.


Edit: That chart isn't exact btw.
Blueowl.us has a much better size chart on each individual pair.
You can actually e-mail them and they'll help you pick out what would be right for you.
Plus I believe they'll hem them for free.

I like to use Blue Owl to check on sizing: http://www.blueowl.us/designer/naked-and-famous/. Just click a product on the page, and it will list a ton of measurements—thigh, knee, waist, etc. Jay (the owner) is also really helpful. If you send him your measurements and the jeans you're looking at, he'll give you recommendations.

Sizing up or down heavily depends on the specific denim you're buying. For example, I would never recommend sizing down 2-3 sizes on a heavy denim like the Elephants because you'll either never be able to get into them, or they'll never stretch because they're too heavy. Something you really wanna look out for as a lifter is the crotch/leg area. Most of us have huge thighs, so sizing down is never really an option for me. I go true-to-size (TTS) most of the times.

try self edge

[JoziKilos]

try self edge

3 week turnaround since they're soo busy.
Need to find somewhere else.

[mbalser]

I 2nd BlueOwl reference measurements. Much more accurate because they take the average of each batch they receive versus a generic uniform chart that covers an entire "cut" of denim. You'd be surprised by the differences between the styles. I own 28s and 29s because they all run slightly different.

[Clubbingbrah]

Can someone tell me if raws stack better when they are broken in. I just got my N&F jeans yesterday and dont want to get them hemmed. But they are abit long.

Love my raws.

For a pair of cheap starters, grab some free world raws. Progress on until you can afford nudies

[orangetide]

unbrandeds do not stretch very well. shoulda sized up.
