is there a reason that hand washing isn't an option?

and i'm ashamed of the room

Alden color 8 Perforated Cap Toe boot update. 2+ years old after a bit of cleaning this weekend.

wow... just wow... 

did you treat them in any way?  what did you use for cleaning?

For the Okinawa shirt, should I order a medium or large? 

 

I am a size 40 in The Flat Head shirts, and a medium in 3Sixteen shirts... 

 

I want to go try it on at Self Edge, but they only have small or medium. 

 

Thanks in advanced fellow denim enthusiasts

i wear a 40 in flathead shirts and medium in MF shirts and the (rinsed) medium i tried on was almost big enough to wear as a shirt jacket (which is how i would wear it if i had bought it, i didn't buy it b/c the chest-pocket looked weirdly large on me for some reason..);  i didn't try on the large so i can't say whether it would be too large to look good for you..maybe it could work as a shirt jacket.  if you want a fitted shirt you may want to try a small or medium hot wash&dry.  oddly enough i did get the new indigo metisse shirt in a size large and it fits perfectly after a warm wash&dry..

just put on a pair of 634s for the first time in several years; it's amazing how, as all of the various types of denim come and go, a worn in pair of this denim remains unique and impressive

ardbeg FTW, i like the feeling of a barbeque in my mouth

mine is not that heavily worn, but when i wear it i can now see little pops of electric blue all over, it's amazing

epic cuffs!

damn looks like this one will be too hot and heavy for me, I regret passing on the chambray, anyone have a new/like new in m?

i dont' know if it's the denim or the cut, but my hawaiis feel a tad slimmer than 47s in the same size

i guess we agree that he didn't claim that lofgren was produced in china; imo he raised skepticism about the integrity of these makers who unreasonably jack up their prices and how far they are willing to go for their profits.  and really, in the words of "the master": "who knows?"  

being hyper defensive doesn't make me as a consumer feel any more confident about these producers, indeed it makes me even more skeptical.  i wasn't sure why you became so hyper defensive until i remembered these: http://www.selfedge.com/john-lofgren-and-company?product_id=1219  i dont' blame you, i guess we all have to find a way to eat our donuts

are you referring to this "lofgren is just a middleman who subcontracts his products to diff factories in japan or china ( who knows!?)"??  i wanted to make sure because to me that is clearly not a claim, specifically because of the "who knows!?" part.  

awesome!

i was reading through these posts looking for ed's claim that a product is produced in china and couldn't find it; was it deleted?

anyone have rs04 fit pics?  some great evo pics in here but i don't think i've seen any fit pics

crazy fading sample out there

 

shit, this is what i'm looking for in a roomy fit jean..any details on the cut/sizing?

i could be wrong (i wash my jeans), but i believe that freezer lore provides that you place the jeans into a freezer bag prior to putting them into the freezer

maybe spring for a nice pair of jeans in the 4th stage lol jk 

i have a 31 that is too big for me

i <3 IH 21oz selvedge color gradient and softness!

any details on the duck fabric?

those look like a keep...if anything get a slim straight pair to go w/ it (if you dont' have one already)

I know the differences between those terms @ironheartfan123 if I could explain it well I wouldn't have quoted that post (besides it's what the "Quote" and "Multiquote  are there for), but to get back to objectivity and for your benefit I'll try to explain.  "Rinsed" is a term used by Levi's to say it has been "processed", but I think it's different from your normal DIY soak/rinse of water in pail/tub, it probably involves factory chemicals (besides, someone mentioned about a resin treatment).  The keyword mentioned in that post I quoted is "open the fibers", which could be a result of DIY soaking, and not the factory processing? That's why I'm asking if I need to DIY soak it (it's not for the shrinkage but for the "opening of the fibers" thing which could lead to "better" fading, if that is in fact true).  I hope I explained it well this time.

i sincerely thank you for reminding me why i don't purchase anything made by Levi's/LVC

Thank You.

*vanishes from LVC thread*

That wasn't actually for you, it's for others to get additional info of what I was trying to arrive at, but I think you took it personally as offensive to you.  Anyway. it's not my problem, it's yours.

i don't have a problem and i wasn't offended, i just clicked the red rep button; in terms of what you are "trying to arrive at" i gave you the same answer you just thanked paul_t for a few posts back (and i think you didn't accept it because you were still confused about the differences between sanforized, unsanforized, soaked, rinsed, etc. and thought i was maybe missing something mentioned in that long quote)

after re-reading the forum rules, i think your inital post to me about why i negged would've been better off in PM and hoggresser's abusive and insulting post should be deleted

The fuck are you talking about you prat. Stop being such a prize chump.
