  1. im not sure if the denim is sanforized but he did say that they will shrink...

    If all of the apc dry denim is the same denim.. which i assume it is, it is all sanforized. which means it wont shrink on the first wash...much.

    maybe the guy meant after they stretch out, which they will.

  2. jeans they wanted to beat the fuck out of in 6 months

    im at 6 months of beating the fuck out of my jeans. but i plan on beating the fuck out of them for another 6 months at least. if they last longer, i'll keep beating the fuck out of them

  3. Well - it IS overall good quality.

    I dont think he will buy it, but i always tell my friends that dont understand this whole denim thing "why buy something, especially something that lasts as long as teh jinz do, that doesnt have character??" when i got my first pair of sams i was like, wow, these have CHARACTER. haha

    i dont think your dad will care about that argument though.

  4. Have a read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika

    Buddhism

    The symbol as it is used in Buddhist art and scripture is known in Japanese as a manji (literally' date=' "the character for eternality" 萬字), and represents Dharma, universal harmony, and the balance of opposites. When facing left, it is the omote (front) manji, representing love and mercy. Facing right, it represents strength and intelligence, and is called the ura (rear) manji. Balanced manji are often found at the beginning and end of Buddhist scriptures (outside India).

    Buddhism originated in the Indian subcontinent in the 5th century BC and inherited the manji. These two symbols are included, at least since the Liao Dynasty, as part of the Chinese language, the symbolic sign for the character 萬 or 万 (wàn in Chinese, man in Korean/Japanese, vạn in Vietnamese) meaning "all" or "eternality" (lit. myriad) and as 卐, which is seldom used. A manji marks the beginning of many Buddhist scriptures. The manji (in either orientation) appears on the chest of some statues of Gautama Buddha and is often incised on the soles of the feet of the Buddha in statuary. Because of the association of the right-facing swastika with Nazism, Buddhist manji (outside India only) after the mid-20th century are almost universally left-facing: 卍. This form of the manji is often found on Chinese food packaging to signify that the product is vegetarianand can be consumed by strict Buddhists. It is often sewn into the collars of Chinese children's clothing to protect them from evil spirits.

    better yet compare the English one and the Japanese one.

    It`s called "manji" in Japanese. http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%8D%8D

    Thank you for clarifying :) i've def seen it on packages of food. i wasnt sure what the significance of left/right facing though.

    thanksss
