Guys, guys, today I received my first pair of Raw Denim jeans, specifically some Naked and Famous Left Hand Twills.
I need your opinion on the fit before I take any of the tags off.

They fit snugly on the waist, but not uncomfortably so. I definitely don't need a belt to hold them up. They are a bit tight in the thighs, but that probably owes to the fact that they are crisp and brand new so they are naturally a bit uncomfortable. I find that there is enough room to move comfortably enough, and this is before they have even stretched. I think the leg might be a wee bit long, but that may be because I'm not used to an inseam this long (35 inches). The jeans I currently wear are a 32. The rise seems fine to me. Here are some pics.

Those look pretty great to me, Kenshin. Are those the Weird Guy cut? From the pictures, it looks like you have room in the thighs already and they will stretch out more. If you can already move reasonably well I think you're set.

The extra height is for stacks so its ok. I cuff mine a lot though

The fit looks good for a fresh pair. As long as youre comfy its all good!

the seat and thighs need to be taken in a bit, along with the knees. you can talk to a highly rated tailor in your area and ask for their advice. also remind them to take the inseam and not the selvedge outer seam when they take it in.
you don't need to be worried about the waist because they'll stretch out around .5-1 inch.

now for personal opinions:
I dislike wide openings so my knees are 7 inches across (14 around) and my opening altered to taper down to around 6 (12 around).
hemming is also a personal choice, but for me, I dislike stacks on denim + Show Spoiler + so I tell the tailor to take my inseam + 1.5-2 inches; 1 inch for the hem and .5-1 inch for cuffing. so I'm a 32 inch inseam, that means inseam goes from 38 to a 33-ish. cuffing is also a personal preference, as is the amount that you cuff.
I usually don't cuff because it gives the visual illusion that your legs are shorter.

I need to buy some goddamn t-shirts for this weather. Plain colors please, preferably black/white/grey.

I'm 5'10, 125lbs, super skinny, and all the shirts that I can find are for fat people.

Please respond.

Thanks for the extensive feedback. What do you mean "taken in a bit"? I don't know because I'm a fashion noob and have never been to a tailor. If you mean the thighs look a bit baggy that's because my quads are actually that wide. The thighs are pretty tight right now although the pics don't look it. As for the stacks, I usually never wear stack on my jeans but I did so for the pics because the bottom of the leg was dragging on the floor a bit lol.

taken in means to have the diameter of the opening reduced, so it goes from looking baggy and wide on you to a slimmer profile.
I'd suggest you take in the knees and the leg opening more than the thighs, but it's really up to you. everyone is comfortable with a different style/profile especially for pants and I try not to impress my own on others.
really though, look for reviews in your area and talk to a decently rated tailor. tell him/her you want to get these pants fitted and ask for advice. if people say he/she is good, they'll likely have a ton of experience with customers looking for similar tailoring needs such as yourself.
they will most likely take your measurements and start pinning the pant in different places so give your input if you feel it's too tight in some areas, etc.

I have to warn you it might cost a lot. my tailor took ~10 for hemming, 20 for taking in the leg opening, and another 20 for altering the seat.
however, for more sturdy and longer lasting clothes (like denim) I feel it's a worthy and necessary investment.

Question concerning hair:
I've decided I don't want bangs anymore and I've decided to start gelling my hair up at parts (It ended up looking a lot like Grubby's hair actually). So far I've been a normal poor college kid and I've been using my Dad's gel. The problem is that it tends to stop working over the course of a 12 hour day, and it starts to droop after 4-5 hours.
My question is, can anyone recommend from experience a hair gel that's truly long lasting?


I live in New York State, and I've found that H & M looks out for us twig people (I'm like 5'11" and 130 so I understand your struggle)

Do not use wax or gel at all, it is absolutely killing for your hair in the long run.
Just get a good cut and model it with water, your hair makes natural fat of its own.
Wax is realy silly when you think about it, first you shower and get all the natural fat out of your hair with shampoo, and then you put in the fat again with gel or wax, and then in the evening you wash it out again with shampoo.
It realy is verry bad for your hair.
