I have a tip when it comes to fit, not only for jeans, but all mass-produced clothing, including footwear. The fabric for jeans is cut in piles by a machine so the pattern pieces vary in size. Then the pieces are sewn together, adding more variation. So when you go to buy a pair of jeans take as many in your size as you can and try them all on. If you want to be thorough take some in a size larger or smaller, especially if you are an intermediate size. This is especially useful with shoes. It drives the shop staff mad, especially when I take the right shoe from one pair and the left from another, but I end up with footwear that actually fits.

New to this and have been learning via trial and error about fit (thanks Ebay). First Ebay selvedge (Taylor Stitch) taught me the importance of back rise. After figuring out what fits me specifically, I bought some brand new Grim Tim Dry Selvage based on your recommendation. Love them so far. Did the first soak based on your other vid. Thank you for your expertise! Been appreciating the knowledge you bring to the table.

I recently came across on a pair of second-hand Tellason’s. I had never heard of the label prior and when I tried them on, I wanted to just get rid of ALL my denim jeans! It just fit like the perfect glove and very, very high quality craftsmanship. The 511 Levi’s have always been my standard and my first pair of selvedge were Evisu’s I purchased at Herrod’s in London, which yes, were very hard to “break in”. These Tellasons are a perfect gateway to the more prestigious selvedge, hard break-in quality denim to get the feel of that coveted aged patina on high quality denim

I got a pair of GAP "selvedge" jeans, and they fit pretty good. This was before I really got into selvedge. I look inside the tag and it says "made in China". So then I started my quest to find really good selvedge denim. Its been 3 years, and now I have a pair of "Big John's", Momotaros, and "Bravestars". Surprisingly the GAP jeans have some decent fades now.

My first pair of selvedge denim is an unbranded UB401 and I love them! I might recommend the UB101 to most people as the only reason the 401's fit me so well is because I am stick thin, but they are priced so unbelievably well it's silly! RHT, 14.5oz denim, sizing all written out for every fit, well priced plain old indigo jeans, if you're looking for a 'regular' pair of jeans they really do work well.

I was a welder by trade, so I love denim a LOT. I just got a pair of Gustin jeans and I love them! They fit me like a glove and I love it. 💘 oh good, I was wondering if they'd shrink too much and not fit me once I wash them. They're the perfect fit right now. I don't sweat, so I don't wash my denim often. I find it just degrades them. I also am doing shasheiko to repair my old pairs of regular jeans. I get frustrated when all the rack regular jeans have knee holes, well I have oddly long thighs and those holes are way too high. I don't want pre worn in jeans I want to do that myself. I also find men's jeans fit me better. I'm very thin so I don't need all the added curves they put in womens jeans. Anyways, got a pair of Gustin jeans for $58! I love thick thick jeans. When they break in, they're heavenly!
