The only way to work.........I work from home and get a bit stuck on here when I stop for a coffee. It's great superbored site though, learned heaps of shit

Do you do the ol' page swap when the boss walks in?! Haha

^^^^^^haha

The all over print tee is interesting, I looks as though it was printed after the tee was made up as the print runs over the neckband. Did anyone spot the the Green/Yellow version, it looks like it smudged down the bottom?

I usually think of boxy as not much shape through the armholes, very rectanglar, sleeves to long and loose......generally not a good fit, like a sac with two other squares sewn on the side for sleeves.....ha

XS Pacco Rabanne

I wanna learn to use some computers too though!

Hey DCTMFC, do you draw much? I may be old school but I just love pen on paper, seems to be losing a bit to computers. My advice would be to draw heaps, study graphics, quality of line, shading techniques, colour, application of different media etc. There must be some good art schools, Programmes in your area too. Get drawing buddy, we wanna see some pics!

These Jackets look totally amazing IMO, and the branding isn't really in your face. How much do they go for?

Male camel toe.........commonly known as a mamaltoe

They seem to be styled exactly the same as Nudies, stitching detail, belt loops etc. Having the selvage cut right to the top of the waistband? This would mean the outside leg is straight all the way up which doesn't give you alot of Jeans to hang on your hips? I always thought it was extreme having a straight outer leg as it is (selvage). Also the front looks the same width as the back, or even wider creating that "around the corner" look on the front pockets. Most well cut Jeans have the back cut wider so the outside seams fall more middle/front of the leg. Getting a bit critical arn't I.....nice Jeans all the same

This thread is bs. How come Americans were all up on GAP 3-4 years ago!? Then A&F. Then something else. Japanese just place more emphasis on quality and outer appearence compared to their Western counterparts. That's why Japanese brands are so pimp because it has quality written all over them. They never skim on production quality on their goods. Plus, they are amazing at re-interpreting Western influences as well and making it there own. Why is it that Taiwanese, Cantonese, and Koreans are always up on Japanese fashion's nuts? Because the rest of Asia can't make anything their own and create a cultural phenomenon. Japanese are creative mother-fuckers. They just explode with all these crazy ideas that sometimes are just nuts?! Rei Kuwakubo, Junya Wanatabe, Issey Miyake, etc. These high-fashion designers are always pushing the envelope of what is considered "fashion". That's why they are so dope. That's also why Japanese dress better than Americans. The average American can't dress worth shit. But then again, the majority don't give a fuck cuz they know American still kicks the ass of any other nation in the world. Perhaps arm-race superiority has made us lazy...ok I'm just rambling now...

Eeeeehhhhhhh??????? Can you please explain

^^^^^Arrrhahahahaha.............I am more concerned with grey hairs coming through! I have pulled out a few rouge silvers in the last week.........I may be rocking the Richard Gere sooner than I think

You can get some pretty good quality old school home sewers, like 70's metal ones. The new ones are shit and fall apart, made of mainly plastic. Use super sharp denim needles, hand roll over the thicker sections.....sweet as

Witts and DCTMFC wear one of these each when they hang at the mall

Hey Dn'W, that sounds pretty cool. How much is it, just out of interest? Have you seen the photos on the Yen website I think it is, Japanese co. anyway.......I could be wrong, anyway there were pic's of the guys hand weaving denim for those super expensive Jeans, and all natural indigo etc. It has been covered on here before, looks really time consuming. It would be a great old guy hobbie huh, make 20 pairs of Jeans a year, haha, and sell them for exorbitant prices

Good stuff adsurgo, singer makes a good machine huh. I just got a cover seamer the other day, haven't had a chance to have a blast on it yet.

You can make Jeans with a plain sewer and an overlocker, but there are also a massive variety of machines you can use, or factories can use to make em. Cover seamers for belt loops, chainstitchers, bar tack machines, walking foot machines for super heavy denim, flat felled seam attachments. I think there is also fully automated patch pocket machines.....I would like to see one of those going. There are probably more fully automated machines.

You can actually get textile ink in an aerosol can, I have seen them at craft shops

Super future came up when heaps when I was searching all kinds of other stuff, thats how I came to find this site

Hey guys, I make Jeans also. I was thinking of doing a step by step photo post of the process of making a pair......what do you think? Could be fun

Plain white T-shirt with cigarettes rolled up in sleeve, Levis, Black chuck taylors, Rayban Wayfarers, Short back and sides.............aaaaaarrrrhhhhhahahahha

Most people here are considered "smart shoppers".

We tend to observe what others are wearing just because we are into fashion.

Therefore we'll notice it when someone's wearing the same thing or brand.

My cousin was wearing Onitsuka's and I said "Nice Onitsuka's" he had NO clue what I was talking about.

If I was wearing the same sneaker he wouldn't notice and couldn't care less.

People like us and women at dress-up affairs pay attention to what people are wearing.
