IF SOMEONE WAS GOING TO BITE IT THEY WOULD PROBABLY HAVE DONE IT BY NOW! THAT VIDEO IS A FEW YEARS OLD!

The song is Freediving by Ben Lee (it is written on the vinyl version of the record at least).

I also think that it looks like waterbased ink, especially the red ink as someone said earlier.

I wonder if this is the same rolls that he put the diamond encrusted hood ornament on. That's insane..

I got the denim at my local fabric store. The denim on the pair that I posted is very smooth and somehow strange, which why I got curious about it and bought it. The other pair I made is regular denim though.

Ok, here are some pics. Keep in mind that this was the first time I used a sewingmachine since elementary school. I didn't have an iron which made thing a bit difficult when folding the fabric.

Ok, here we go:

Sorry about the bad lighting in the photos.

Don't buy them if ther's a lot of gay bashing going on at your school.

no he did it right, he actually did it pretty well, except his wrist work.

I've never messed around with the squeegee like that on smaller prints. It's just for when the print is wider than the squeegee, right? Or we do it differently?

But I do keep all my inks in shiny stainless steel bowls. That's the only way to do it.

Jeans aren't really that complicated, I pulled if of pretty ok for my first sewing project a couple of weeks back.

Do what I did, take an old pair of jeans that you don't like anymore and take them apart carefully, trying to remember how everything was connected. Then copy each piece to a piece of cardboard or something and adjust anything that you didn't like about your old jeans.

So they are unwashed or one wash?

If they are distressed I think they are 501's I'm not 100% sure though..

Saw a pair on sale today for around $65.

cause the baggy bjorn are a terrible cut

Really? I just felt it was a pretty standard baggy cut. In what way are they cut worse than other baggy jeans?

Speaking of nudie, I picked up a pair of bbds for about $60-65 during the christmas sale. Pretty good jeans for summer I think.

Maybe Shimokitazawa (spelling?) would be to your liking? Lots of small shops that sell various accessories/ kitch stuff. I also remeber that there were a big building that had some kind of "rent-a-box" system where designers/artists/small clothing labels could rent shelf space and sell their products. Pretty nice place. If I remember correctly it was close to village vanguard (at least that's how it's pronounced no idea about the spelling) and there was a pretty good record shop right across the street, there was a train crossing right after that building. Wasn't really hard to find.

kitchiyoji (Spelling..?) also have a lot of small accessorie shops. But not as "arty" as Shimokita.

That's dissapointing. I've been wanting them for quite some time now.

Har du kollat http://mera.se/klader.html ?

I've bought from them a couple of times and they have a lot of brands over a pretty wide price range.

Good info on the homepage which includes the g/m² of all the brands they carry. You should be able to find something there.

Paul, what was the problem with this years 201's? I've been wanting a pair..

this happens all the time in fashion trends. a new trend is sometimes a response to the previous one getting out of hand. as with the baggy hanging down to your knees jeans in the 90s going to such a ridiculous extreme with everyone trying to outdo each other, the same is happening with tight jeans. guys are actually buying womens jeans now in order to look like ballet dancers. the beginning of the trend is usually the most reasonable, like how stupid extreme the baggy low hanging jeans were getting, a few people start noticing it and take the initiative in bringing out a new look, the rest of society catches on because it's the time and place for that look to happen and then it just goes too far. its like people lose their persepective on how they look because its so commonplace to see a certain trend everywhere, and the more extreme it gets doesnt seem like a big deal because youre only seeing small increments, day to day.. they cant see it right now, but after this trend is killed by a new one and they look back, theyre going to think "holy crap, i actually wore that???" dont get me wrong, i dont care what people wear, but it does reflect man's tendency to follow the herd one way and then the other, back and forth in cycles, and sociology is an interest of mine, fashion is a good place to notice psychology

Wow, thank you for explaining that to us. You seem to have the inside scoop on how fashion works.

What kind of shirt is it printed on?

(Witts shirt)

We shall see. I don't want them to be that thight, so that is why I went with the 32's. Which size would you have sugested?

Which cut of apc did you get kixslf?

That's nice to hear. I was really trying to hold of on the denim for a while while but this thread makes it kind of hard. But anyway, I hope I will like them as much as a lot of other people seem to do.

I'm so nervous right now... I just ordered a pair of new standars in a W32. I'm a 33.5 waist. You all petter pray to god that they will stretch or you're in a lot of trouble!

If I use that link to report replicas, can the seller know that I reported it??

Levi's never had a selvage on the outside of the coin pocket. To my knowledge at least.

I belive it is quite heavy, Fruit's hoods and sweats are around 280. No idea about hanes. Gildan has some 340 gsm's. They are pretty heavy.
