I sort of see the point in this, but if I just sit on a plane and stare the seat in front of me I'd start thinking why wouldn't I listen to music / watch a movie / read a magazine?

I think the reason is that you have no choice but to sit there. when youre at home, you can decide whether to go out, walk around, eat, crap or just sit and think. when on a plane, you are pretty much forced to sit so it doesn't feel too appealing to just meditate. in that situation I want something to keep me entertained and forget the fact that I have no choice but to sit there.

kind of hard to explain but I think it makes sense..

Servo I think the friend should be in your car, then you drive next to the truck. but if the trucks lights are off and your not moving I'm not sure if it'll work..

hmm..

can you measure the leg right under the crotch and the leg opening, to get an idea how these fit..

I'm guessing shes talking about the über trendy "celebrity" brands rather then the denim thats usually discussed here, and I also think thats what the article might be referring to (based on that short description, any way..)

this thread ≠ funny

I occasionally make up what I paid for some stuff so that I dont have to admit to my girlfriend how much I wasted on clothes. sometimes I end up fooling even myself.

well.. to me that sounds nuts, but each to his own I guess.

very true

I wanna see the Post Man shorts

what kind of pants do you need to wear then?

zigzag is really easy, just take a piece of fabric and try going around the edges, you'll get the hang of it

dior x baboon

well couldn't you just do the same but only shorter?

oh and also if anyone has any other how-to ideas I'm open to requests

keri: define "whittle down"?

as you can see, this makes the shirt straighter and better fitting:

6. if you took in just a little you dont necessarily have to cut the excess part off. if you took in more, the fabric is thick or youre working on a sweater you might want to cut off the excess part.

7. after cutting the slice of fabric off, use the zigzag type of stitching and go over the edge like in the picture (you might want to try this on a piece of fabric if you havent done it before):

note: as Thorns states below, its better to use the other type of stitching for the edges:

"I wouldn't use the zigzag to finish edges. I would use a setting that looks like a zigzag with a line on top and bottom... that way if you let one side of the needle fall off the garment it gives it a more professional looking finish."

thats about it, as said you can take in just a little bit or just from the hem or go all the way up to the sleeve. if you go over the sleeve, make sure you follow the original shape or otherwise the shirt wont fit right at the armpits.

in this case you have cut the excess fabric off or it will pile up and feel annoying.

let me know if any part is confusing or if you have any questions

cheers

thought I'd post this since this seems to be a common question.

I've had quite a few t-shirts that fit fine in the shoulders etc but the hem is too wide. or shirts that are just too wide overall. heres a simple way you can make your t-shirt slimmer.

you need a normal sewing machine and very basic skills in using it, being able to sew a somewhat straight line is enough.

the problem: your shirt is not slim enough or too wide at the hem like in the picture.

1. figure out how much you want to take off, if its around 1cm or so you can just alter one side, if its much more you might want to take in both sides to keep the correct shape in the shirt.

2. start sewing from the edge of the shirt:

3. if you only want to take in the lower part of the hem you can move towards the edge right away, if you want to take the whole side in you can go all the way to the armpit or even over to the sleeve (see last step)

4. after you have gone over the edge, cut the yarn and tie the ends together with a few basic knots. cut off excess yarn.

5. same for the end where you started, unless you didnt start exactly at the edge, you can take a normal needle and sew towards the edge by hand. go over the edge a couple of times so it will last better, finish at the same side as the other piece of yarn and tie them together.

very true, but I wouldn't mind them being available at small super underground boutiques

just nuts!

I'm allergic to elk fur, I think I could pull it off with some sort of a half-body condom though.

the all over flower print I'm doing will feature a bill cosby stencil and a corny slogan, made of 99% mole fur and 1% body hair. it will only be available in limited numbers (around 250000) and each one will be individually slapped with a dick. note that if youre seen wearing it with anything else then Bape carpenter jeans you will be shot.

your thoughts?

dude even karmaloop has half sizes in some models, wouldn't have been to hard to find out..

there are many topics on re-sizing and sewing, its basically the same as t-shirts.

and there was just a topic on tailors in nyc!!!

well you can easily move them around from place A to B and position 1 to 2

I dont mind a little thickness either, but it has to show in the correct places and were still talking about something easily carriable. nah who the hell am I to say, I've been like one step from a married man for the last 4 years..

heres a confession related to that, I love my girlfriend but man I wanna cry sometimes and bang my head to the wall.. why is it that you get hit on 10 times more when youre seeing someone??

all shoes I own are 10-10½, slip-ons 10

nice jeans, will keep an eye on the auction..
