Great jeans man, you get a piece of history. I am waiting on mine to arrive.

[@501chiefsnoop]

Absolutely! You’ll love em and I’m excited for years down the line to see the faded legs on people! Enjoy!

[@kittipongprakhan]

Good

[@sf2explus184]

the waist 30 pair will defo fit better. and smarter. and the pair your wearing is the relaxed version but will still carry on shrinking but at a much slower rate and become even better

[@501chiefsnoop]

Absolutely the 30x32 fits great! The 32x34 is definitely much more relaxed. And the shrinkage has been pretty minimal, compared to my other STF pairs

[@Capibaro]

Lucky guy to get your hands on two pairs. Think I was just too late to the party to find my size. They must be amazing after a few years

[@501chiefsnoop]

That is exactly my thoughts and thank you I’m excited ! And you may have to call stores online is pretty scarce but stores have em stocked as well.

[@sonicd57]

Would you wash (or soak) these before wearing first or after wearing for a while? What’s difference between washing and soaking and what’s the best method? Thanks.

[@501chiefsnoop]

I soaked the 32x34 it took the starch out and let a bit of indigo bleed off but not too much shrinkage. About half a inch in the waist and honestly not much in the leg. My 30x32s are raw and never washed breaking in lovely, they were a bit tight first perfect now

[@pinikpikantv3555]

Hi bro. I fitted this on the store room and I am normally 32 on other safronized selvedged 150th but with this unsafronized one same on the video, the 30 W was a fit. Would you suggest I get the 32 instead of the 30 that fits me. The 32 looks having protruding butt. Will the shrinkage be that significant that I need to adjust my size up. And will the shrinkage be permanent?

[@501chiefsnoop]

Yes my true size is 32x32 the 30 is the best fit for me. But I have not given these a soak or shrink yet. My previous pair is a 32x34. Those I have shrunk they stayed pretty baggy in the leg. Just about half a size down in the waist , not much in the leg lengthwise. But I would say depends on your drying method.

[@501chiefsnoop]

Sun dry on a hot day will definitely do it. As well as dryer on high that’ll take the waist and length and take most of the starch out.

[@AdamTorres-sx2jy]

Would you say these shrink to fit 501s fit big like the regular ones? I normally get a size 40 in the regular pre shrunk Levi’s but in the raw denim ones I usually go one size smaller. I don’t wash my jeans also.

[@501chiefsnoop]

The regular non selvedge pairs fit me a bit big but they shrink niceley. And the raw denim runs bigger for sure. I’m normally a 31x32 or 32x32. I had to size down to a 30 for these. I do believe you could get away with a 38. Ps. I wash very rarely or only if needed

[@chuckybest55]

There’s no doubt about the details, they’re well done but how’s the quality of the actual denim ? Is the selvedge really great, like the weight for instance ? Is the textile made in Japan or America ? Japanese selvedge seems to be a better quality nowadays, please let us know, thanks

[@501chiefsnoop]

They definitely are well done details but Fasholy hidden for the most part.The denim is honestly ok it’s a 12oz selvedge denim from Kaihara mills but assembled in China. So it’s really not much care to detail. But is sturdy enough I’ve worn mine for about 250ish days. Still pretty still definitely changed quite a lot will update soonish. Thanks for the question. sorry I’m figuring out this creator side of YT

[@sf2explus184]

Did you get additional shrinkage in the second soak?

[@501chiefsnoop]

Yes a bit not too much honestly it’s like they shrunk in the waist and a very small amount in the length

Im a 31/30 on most jeans… should i get 30/32 on these? Dont plan to soak it all… as is. Thx

[@501chiefsnoop]

I’m normally a 31x32 I got these in a 30x32 they were a bit tight first still raw and only stretched a bit

[@davidb6927]

what's the leg opening on your pair?

[@501chiefsnoop]

It’s about a 16” leg opening fully straight fit.

[@muratomar6502]

So, where's discount!!!

[@wjlevien]

How are these coming along?

[@501chiefsnoop]

These babies are coming along amazing almost my daily still! Few rips and bits but will full update soonish

[@marcomartinez8631]

how much shrink do these go when you wash them

[@501chiefsnoop]

Honestly just a bit the shrinkage is definitely not what I expected I went a size up and did 2 hot water soaks sun dried still quite large

[@501chiefsnoop]

But that was the first pair the 2nd pair are amazing raw true to size

[@marcomartinez8631]

I bought one size 36x30, I usually wear a size 34, the only why I bought that size was to have it baggy but do you thing it’ll shrink to my legs with that size

[@501chiefsnoop]

Yes they are a baggy leg, if you want em loose one good hot soak should be perfect.

[@marcomartinez8631]

@@501chiefsnoop can this work with any shrink to fit

[@pakess152]

made in chaina

[@501chiefsnoop]

Yes unfortunately.. I would have much rather see these pairs made in Japan or Italy or even US made would have truly made them even more special

[@kingpingchoi246]

Too much detail in the wrong places
