does anyone have any worn in pics from the natural wallet?

no pics but thats probably my favorite thing they make..would love one if I actually traveled more.

Not really shitting on it, it just seems like every single week a new KickStarter denim pops up.

They use the same buzz words, the same Cone denim, the same "attack" on the industry and the way it's set up.

It's just uninspired in my eyes.

I haven't really seen too many things like this, maybe I don't spend enough time on here. What are some other kickstarters doing a similar thing with American selvage? I'd love to see more examples so I could understand if maybe this is really starting to be over done or if it's perhaps people are starting to get an inkling that their hobby is being infiltrated or something.

Frankly, I think this industry could stand to be "attacked" a little bit. Helps keep everyone on their toes. It gets new people in the door and it gives an opportunity for big players to remind you why you want to spend $375 on theirs instead.

makes me sad to see people shitting on stuff like this.  

do you think if i put some obenauf's oil on it will fix the problem as well?

if you're willing to oil it anyway, I would definitely wipe it down wet first.

I don't have experience with obenaufs, but I do think you run a slight potential risk of "locking in" whatever water marks you have.

I strongly suggest a simple damp wipedown, for better or worse, it will leave things even.

After that, you can treat it with whatever to try to protect it from future staining.

You should post a picture.

Got a question for y'all. What can I do about water stains on my belt , some droplets got on to my belt and made a darker stain on my new veg belt. Too much constrast right now on that specific spot. Anything I can do?

you can take a damp cloth or sponge and give the whole thing a universal wet wipedown, it shouldnt darken anything too much and it will even out the droplets like they were never there...I had the same problem after sweating up a new belt...worked like a charm.

Guyute will also lecture you in language strange, then scamper quickly out of range!

speaking of 3sixteen patches

 old one vs brand new one (thicker & not laser engraved)

would love to see more evo on those keychains

Thanks to David and the folks at Tanner Goods for sending me a replacement patch for the one that tore on my 3sixteens. Rock on, I really appreciate it.

those are fake man...and it's pretty obvious. fenoms never had those rivets. might wanna revise your listing.

I'm looking for a small scrap of interesting leather for a replacement patch on some fresh denim...anyone have any interesting ideas or sources?

I would love a leather case for my Kindle Paperwhite (e-reader)...anyone seen or heard of anyone doing this?

I just want to know how one can tell loopwheel from non-loopwheel fabric from a picture. Seems like the typical bullshit campaign to me.

Wow man, that is some really, really impressive experience.

Jeez, I'm still confused though.

If you have a few more minutes, do you think it would be possible to talk a little bit about visually discerning loopwheeled fabrics?

Maybe you could use the above quoted pictures of the red shirt as a starting point and go from there? What was it that tipped you off that that was merely a 70's vintage shirt and not loopwheeled? I think that is what people are most interested in hearing about from an expert.

found this today...

Cheap, why is that shirt in this thread?

That looks like a 70's long sleeve shirt.

Ah yes, i thought this thread was more for loopwheeled vintage items, not just any vintage t-shirts.

Specifically, this exchange is what has me utterly confused on the subject.

It seems some are able to quickly spot the difference between loopwheeled vintage vs. plain old vintage.

I know Kiya is super busy and it's probably hard to find time to read and post on message boards, but it would be really cool to know more about this and I think a lot people would appreciate it.

I like to consider my 1108's more of a "loving tribute" than repro.

I'm confused.

Judging by some repeated posts, this thread seems to be compiled of mutliple threads.

So, maybe I misssed something, but Kiya seems to know judging based on a picture what isn't loopwheeled, but hasn't commented thus far on how exactly this is was determined.

It seems a lot of people are curious about how this is deciphered.

Some people say you can only tell by feeling the hand of the material in person? Yeah?

Other people seem to be able to point out non-loopwheeled material based on a couple of pictures.

I would love more information on this.

Thanks for the insight. Brochure scans would be much appreciated too.

Yes - please...

I was under the impression 1108 was a '66ish cut

LOVE my pair, I just wish I had gotten the heavier denim because the 13.5oz will ultimately breakdown sooner.

Does make a great summer jean though.

is kiya a loopwheel expert?

mistake

I was talking about both sides of the coin really. Here we are assuming that all these people with button problems are a size 34 trying to squeeze into a 28 (or something along those lines, whatever). We don't really know how these people are sizing.

I'm giving 3sixteen the benefit of the doubt that people are "miswearing" these jeans, but that benefit is somewhat generous. We don't know whats being done to these buttons, but it seems like this is very common problem with these particular jeans. I don't think that can be disputed.

Admittedly, I don't know the finer details of construction/buttons/etc, but it is entirely possible that some jeans do have faulty buttons or whatever.

Some people MAY be trying to wear jeans that they shouldn't (what else is new in the world?)...but it's known that sizing down by a substantial margin is very common in the denim game, I don't think those people should be chastised unless it's unreasonable really.

by reading these forums for several years, I get the impression that a lot of the expensive denims people buy can really withstand serious serious wear and tear and abuse in the top block on from stretching. Think about what women put their jeans through for a tight fit and they are wearing crap 99.94% of the time.

Bottom line, this seems to happen a lot to these particular jeans, for some reason.

Well take a look how tight rimting's topblock is..... Either the seams will start tearing or a button will fly

I get it and I totally agree that most of these cases are likely cases of people trying to wear jeans that just dont fit them. With that said, there are LOTS of options when picking a pair of raws these days. Many, if not most companies are trying to hang their hats on the concept of "sturdy tough handmade quality construction rah rah rah". There is also that given in the raw game people are going to be sizing down unreasonable amounts and going to great measures to get that top button closed initially in attempt of their perfect fit. It is known.

At first it seemed like..."oh thats crazy! yer button came off"

now it's like "yup...you too? me too"

All that said, I've personally been enjoying my SL100's for 2+ years and have had no problems at all.

Damn...seems like that's a pretty common problem with those...

god I love these jeans...just wish they were button fly
