| | | My dry jeans are a little too long so i fold them up at the bottom a little so the hems dont drag. If I unfold them when I wear shoes then fold them again when I take off my shoes will this cause any weird fades? |

Cuffing to show off your selvedge is good :P |

| | | Does the organic nudie's (Slim Jim) stretch and shrink like the normal non-organic slim jim's? Like if I'm a 29 in non-organic, 29 in organic will be no different?
thanks! |

| | | Is there any way to avoid cell phone fades and wallet fades. I havent been breaking in my dry jeans that much since I don't want fades but I can't really go out without a wallet and phone. |

| | ok one last question:
would anyone happen to know a particular brand or model pair of dry denim that fits well for people with athletic legs?
Edit: my thighs are roughly 20" if that helps any

| | | Hahaha...you think you have big legs with 20" thighs? I'll tell you right now that you'll be able to fit into 95% of the jeans out there. Even something as slim as Dior 19cm, which at a size 27 still has a bigger thigh than 20". |

| | | Why do some people roll the bottom of there jeans up as opposed to getting them hemmed? They don't really going to stack well if you do that, right? |

Also, maybe they are just too lazy to hem, or don't want to change the jeans in anyway. Besides, the more inseam, the more stacking, depending on the leg opening of course. |

| | | I just got a pair of academi relaxed off ebay and the waist and hips are really tight. I had to lay down to button them up at first but now I can button them without laying down. I've been wearing them for about 8 hours. How long will it take the hips to loosen up and how much will they stretch because they are still really tight. |

| | | I usually find I can stretch out a waist quite quickly, but the hips are more difficult as the yoke takes longer to stretch. I'd think within 2 weeks they should fit more comfortably. |

| | | From what I've read, the original Academi denim doesn't stretch that much...and take forever to fade. I had a pair for like 2 days but returned it because the fit was horrible. |

| | | It should. I don't know if it'll be enough.
I think if you're at the point of them hurting you, and not just slight discomfort (which they seem to be if they're breaking blood vessels), you shouldn't force it. |
