haha totally agree with you 40ozprophet, this is the play ground of denim heads! haha

(anyways, nice mirko cro cop picture)

damn thenga, looks like you got attacked by a bear or something.

yeah captmomo agree, but i just wanted to hear some experiences.

we're all cool with you using vinegar.

for all i know it maybe the best method.

but i think i'll try out Dr. Bronners then i'll share my experience here.

jahmes - yet? last time i went i saw them the 6x6s. yeah i cant remember the exact price but i know for sure its above 300. around 300 - 330

thanks for sharing ur experience everyone!

yeah i agree that the vinegar method is a little hardcore. heh

damienos- alright thanks. i'll go check out those places if i decide to use them.

anways for those who are intereted, i just got to know that they actually dr. bronners sell online at: http://www.drbronner.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=SFNT&Store_Code=DBMS

just out of curosity,

what kinda soap do the denim heads in singapore use to wash their jeans.

from what i have learnt, many of the sufu-ers fancy Dr. Bonners which, from my understanding, is not available here.

others use branded soap from samurai, etc.

any experiences to share peeps?

got it TiP.

will have to go kill some braincells on which to aim for.

thanks alot!

i never owned a pair of Rescues.

but from my experience, going one or two sizes down from your actual waist should not be a problem.

i sized down one and my dukes have stretched alot in 3.5 months.

they used to fit snugly at the waist and thighs but now they are roomier, especially in the waist.

oh alright thanks for the information.

maybe washing eternals isnt that bad an idea.

thinking if i should go for the depth of the eternals(tiger) or the slubbiness of the PBJ (xx-005).

if its convenient can you post a picture of the fit? thanks a million.

ahh finally! a highly anticipated post for me.

looks pretty damn good jooles.

deeply in love with the depth of the indigo.

how many washes did they have?

electronic cheeta: those look awesome. got the whole deal. cat whiskers, pocket fade, honey combs. seems like the only thing missing is the back pocket stitching.

shinobi2000: wow, great work for 4 months. loving the way it fades at the front.

Calvin, those are hot man.

Madness for 150 days of wear.

i think everyone would agree that you made it to the legendary sufu XXX gallery!

wow thats insane. beautiful job

wow did'nt realize too. + 10 points for puma x evisu

i think they are sold at peninsular plaza.

joshua, any pictures to enlighten us?

yeah man. the vitamin C in oranges will help.

eat some oranges.

eternals in rain? are your sneakers like dark blue now?

dont worry good things are worth waiting for. haha

ahhh.. what else!

alright thanks.

er ..... not firm yet. Jeans? Of course man! I'm thinking of a S$30 - S$40 on top of the price of the item. That's all. If successful, you don't have to wait longer than VPJ. I'm betting on this advantage. I'm going to try it on myself first, then see if it's worth the trouble ...... Or, do you want to be my genea pig?

$30 - $40 is brilliant man.

no way ! haha. i cant afford to lose a pair of jeans.

poor man here.

dont worry once its working i'll use your service.

good stuff beatle.

some evolution for everyone.

whats that square object in your left front pocket?

oh my lek. think you may have saved me from a world of troubles.

does your 'lobang' do jeans as well?

and what are the fees/charges like?

Dilettante -

dont return them! they fit really well. serious.

dont worry about it being tight at the thighs they will stretch out eventually.

if you size up it maybe more comfortable at first but they will stretch and in the end become too baggy.

agentbristow: do you already run a store, or are you planning to set one up? it's unlikely that the companies would be willing to deal with an individual without the B&M storefront. remember that these are not your average true religion "premium denim" companies.

also, i don't mean to be hostile, but how much -do- you know about japanese denim? i've never been very impressed with the QC (nor Actually) staff's knowledge about their denim, and i don't have a problem with that, because they're not a denim store, instead they're more of a general fashion boutique with an interest in jeans. your question about dry cleaning and the self edge store suggests that you should find out a bit more about these jeans that you're looking to bring in...

there's nothing actually wrong with dry cleaning--in fact i've dry cleaned my APCs once, but i don't trust the cleaners to do a good job of it--in theory it cleans your jeans without allowing them to come into contact with water, but we have little idea about the nature of the chemicals that they use on the fabric. if your jeans have been dyed well, washing them should not result in too much loss of indigo, which is what a dry clean aims to prevent.

again, apologies for the scepticism.

ahh.. here comes some professional advise.

agentbristow: please take TiP's advise into great consideration. cos i am really quite new to this game myself. not trying to carry balls or anthing but if anyone here knows best its most probably TiP.

yeah i second the sun/air method in preventing any undesirable smells.

everyday after i come home i will hang my jeans where there's good ventilation and on weekends where i laze around at home they are in the sun. its worked so far for my 3 months old jeans.

seems like febreeze is a very popular method.

will try it if my jeans start to stink.

best thing, its said to leave your jeans stiff! woo

Thanks. But what's wrong with dry cleaning?

Thanks mofo! Haha, I know! I wanted to bring in Skull jeans too... But I'm glad that QC brought Sugar Canes and Skulls too... That's one store I honestly respect because they really know their stuff... I won't really be QC's direct competitor though. Just think of me as trying to add to the "roster" of premium jeans in Singapore... if I make it that is... I think I will start from scratch and build a correspondence with the people that I wanna work with first and see how things go from there.

Erm both of you mentioned self edge people. This is gonna sound way dumb, but who are they?

Yes! Then we can get TIP to add more premium jeans into the first page of our 'Denim in Singapore' thread.

Making us the premium jeans capital in Southeast Asia. haha

They are people who run/work at this site www.selfedge.com

You can try PMing 'Kiya', he's from selfedge and an active member here.

tomenugen, i must say those cat whiskers on the nudies are really looking SHARP.

good job.

they way the denim on sammies age never fails to amaze me. bravo CMF!
