  1. so SEXIHXINDO16 is up

    i have a question mr kiya, is it using the same denim as SEXIH07? they both use 19 oz unsanfor and 3x1 weave RHT..

    Yup, same denim. I love that fabric and how it ages over time. It ages a lot like the IH anniversary denim but it's a bit easier to wear due to the slightly lighter weight fabric.

    So here's my question- based on the measurements, it looks like the Indos are really close to the cut of the 07s. Is that correct, or are there differences in the fit?

  2. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner. This thread can officially be locked

    So are they only made for fat people, or is it that thin people have too much self esteem to wear such hideous garbage?

    On a side note, it says they're "patent pending". I'd love to be the patent examiner who gets that application.

  3. Am I the only one that's disappointed with the measurements on the Roy ducks? They're essentially a slim tapered cut, but with a waist that's 2 full inches bigger than tagged size. And sanforized duck ain't gonna stretch or shrink much, so what you see is what you get. They're super loose in the waist to fit everywhere else, and if I size down two so that they fit in the waist, then they're jeggings. Either option sucks. I love the details on them, though. Maybe some time off in the future Roy will make some in a normal straight cut.

  4. Knees will probably clean up a little as the denim breaks in and softens up, but to really make the fit look better, you should get them hemmed a couple of inches. That will help around the knees, too, since they can't hang properly with all that bunching around your ankles.

  5. I don't think that was necessarily an issue with the denim; the way I understand it, the Triple Works label suffered from a lack of cohesion and design focus. The relaunch is to remedy that and have a specific approach to the products released under the TW label. Haraki is also going to take a more hands on, direct control of TW, where it was previously licensed out to others. All in all, I think the new TW product launch coming in the fall should be really interesting.

    By the way, where did you see that they were going to change the denim? I wasn't aware of that.

  6. The secret to a good pizza (in addition to good dough, good sauce, etc.) is to put most of the cheese (like 2/3 to 3/4 of it) directly over the sauce/base, then toppings, then the remaining cheese lightly sprinked over the top of everything.

    Yeah, I've done it that way before and it's definitely better.

    Substitute a little of the water in the dough mixture with vodka. It evaporates more and helps make the crust crisp. America's Test Kitchen has a recipe, I think. Also fresh, sliced Mozzarella not grated.

    Interesting suggestion; I'll have to give that a try. My problems seem to be yeast related- I can't get it to rise properly, so that it has the right mix of airy chewiness on the inside and a nice crunchiness on the outside.

    And yes, fresh, authentic buffalo milk mozzarella is better, but finding decent fresh stuff is a crapshoot, not to mention expensive when I do. This is why I occasionally miss living in New Jersey.

  7. Today was pizza day again:

    First one is spinach and prosciutto. Toppings are under the cheese, so it's a bit underwhelming looking.

    Second one is sun dried tomatoes, goat cheese and fresh basil.

    I haven't been happy with the crust, so I've been experimenting with new dough recipes. This batch was disappointing, so I'll probably be making another attempt later this week. Luckily, my wife is willing to put up with my constant tinkering on my pizzas.

    EDIT: sorry about the pic size; Photobucket seems to be uncooperative for me right now.

  8. Got the latest edition on Saturday and finally got around to downloading some pics...

    here it is, straight out of the package

    and then a couple of fit pics-

    is that the noise of a waking child I hear?
