I actually came in to ask this same thing. I have a pair of Acne jeans, that while my usual size, are just a bit too loose around the waist. Do any of these methods actually work? Was going to try the dryer.

Love skimming through this thread, so many options. This year became the year of my midlife crisis, where i wanted to wear my favorite jeans growing up. Levis 501's. However I didn't want pre shrunk jeans. So I've been exclusively STF, and it's become addictive. Like Pokémon, I need to catch them all. So while I'm in this kick, I realized I love button fly's. What other mid-heavyweight denim stf jeans with button fly's are there for me to get hooked on?
What's the budget? And do you want to buy online? I can start recommending stuff like Momotaro and Samurai, but that's not exactly for anyone.

This thread is worth the lol.

The main problem with STF is that it's a pretty niche market. I don't know of any major brands that have STF jeans outside Levi's. The main US stores that sell the more niche brands that have STF (or unsanforized) denim are Blue In Green, Blue Owl and Selvedge.
These stores are in a few major cities (Selfedge seems to be the biggest, with stores in San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles and Portland). They all sell jeans online as well though.
The upside is that all the stores should have extensive measurements of the jeans that help you a lot with the fit. But expect to pay $200+. That's obviously the downside of niche stuff.
Edit: Though Naked and Famous has some decent stuff that's between $100 and $200.

thanks! I'm about a half hour or so away from nyc so that won't be too much of a hassle to check out what's there. I have to say that after trying out unsanforized and then getting prewashed, the concept of having your jeans mold to your shape almost right away is great, so much so that I won't go back to prewash if I don't have to.

Bought a pair of G-Star RAW super slims from Nordstrom. Holy shit I'm converted. They form to my muscular legs so fucking good.
Ahh, I'm not sure that's raw denim.

Why the long case?
A.P.C.s use the shittiest construction on both the inseam and selvedge. I repair them all the time and literally fight to keep the shit together.
They relabelled from Gap star to G-star RAW in the past and released a raw denim line if I remember correctly. That's a long time back though and despite their name they barely sell any raw denim nowadays.

Where can I get denim that tapers at the ankle that ain't gonna break the bank? Levi's?
I need something to go with my new sneakers.

I picked up some Joe's vintage fit from Nordstrom Rack on sale from $180 to $80 and they're the best jeans I've ever had. I wear them every day.

Different sort of shot of my blue Iron Hearts. Apparently I had fun last night.
