first pair of nudies

im gonna get some RRDS,

1. im usually a size 30 so would a size 29 be enough to acommodate for the
stretching? or should i go for 28?

and

2. im a length 32 in jeans, would length 34 be too long for me in nudies?

thanks

If I were you:

I'd size down one to a 29


and get 34" inseam to be on the safe side.

yea man, i think im DEFINITELY gonna go w/the 34" inseam...i was just readin the thread on the nudie break in process....

and damn your rrds shrunk from a 33 to a 30!?

im like 5'11"...so yea im not takin any chances, id rather cuff them and have them drag a little for a while than have them not fit me a year later...

so whats with the whole idea that they're sanforized....i thought shrinkage should be minimal?

shrinkage should be around 3%. Usually its around an inch or so.

Just don't become 'the guy' that always wears the same jeans. Might want to wear some regular jeans on a rainy day so they don't bleed all over your legs and shoes and the bottom of your shirt and stuff...

Unless it's a downpour then you should be okay with a light rain...


I wish I could have worn the same jeans everyday in HS...haha

lol or like 'that guy' that wears the same hooded sweater every day even though its uber hot...and it sort of just becomes part of 'that guy's' inherent personality? LIKE A COMIC BOOK CHARACTER!

I remember in elementary school there was 'the guy' who wore the same clothes everyday but always bragged about how rich his father was. I felt sorry for him cause he was probably really poor.

worn em for about a week and a half since i got em(a week and a half ago...lol) and theyre gettin a nice fade in the back w/the wallet....i think these may progress much faster than i expected....been wearin em to college and i guess the use has been pretty heavy for some reason...

ill post updated pics in about 2 weeks.
