  1. So, what's the latest with arcuates and tabs on FH. I bought a pair of 5100 about a year ago at Self Edge but the arcs and tab had been cut off because of the Levi lawsuit. Looking at these pictures I guess arcs and tab are back. I am giving my 5100 the first soak right now but I would like to get a pair with arcs and tab.

  3. I have tried to upload a picture to "lets see what you've got" and when I try to attach the file I get a message "Upload of file failed." The file is a .JPG, size 52 KB, dimensions 640 x 480. I use a MacBookPro. I am using the Attach Files option, Manage Attachments, Choose File, and when I do I get the failed message. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

  4. I starched my apc standards yesterday. I had washed them twice a couple of years ago and didn't wear them too much. I wanted to try to make up for these machind washings if I could and get them back to close to a new "raw" look and feel. Warning: I like stiff jeans. I used Linit liquid starch mixed with water in a 50/50 mix. A few days before, I hand washed and rinsed my apc's in Dr. Bonners unscented soap and hung to air dry inside out. Once dry, I wore for a couple of days. Then I mixed the Linit with water i50/50 n a plastic dish washing pan. I let my jeans soak in the starch for about a half hour. Then I hung them using a coat hangar in the waist to dry. They came out awesome but again I like stiff jeans. I tried them on this morning and they feel like cardboard but I know they will soften with wear. I know I am going to have some nice combs and whiskers.
