    Has anyone ever sent your jeans to a downsizing service and the jeans were basically ruined?  How to deal with that?  I am trying to figure out what would be a fair resolution in that scenario.  It just happened to me and did not expect it at all because the place that I sent them to gets good reviews.

    The "center" back seam is now an "off-center" back seam.  Measurements confirm it is actually off-center and not just in my head.  The right half of the rear waistband is 0.8" bigger than the left half of the rear waistband - and on a relatively small person that difference is painfully obvious.  The center back seam is nowhere near the center of my butt, and the back pockets are off center too.  Can't even cover the problem with a long shirt because the back pockets are so off center too.  One half of the upper block is just overall smaller than the other.  Completely unwearable now.

     

    Unless there is some written guarantee, contract, or something of that sort on their site or before you sent them the denim I'm not too sure how you could proceed. Presumably you had a chat with them about it and discussed some form of resolution?

  2. Oni X Tanuki 20 oz Secret Denim Ultra Slim One Wash


    Tagged 32 but I'd recommend for someone who usually wears a 30 unless you got some serious twig legs.

    Purchased brand new from Denimio + hemmed, they were tight as heck on my thighs. Just tried on, then went back into the packaging. Can't return since these were hemmed. My loss, your gain. 

    Fabric is definitely Oni's, extremely hairy and should break in nicely. 20 oz but surprisingly feels lighter and rougher than my other 20oz secret denim, almost like a 16-17 oz. Blue and red selvedge ID, and co branded. No arcs.

    Chainstitch hemmed from original length, 4 cm off
    Measurements:
    Waist: 42 cm / 16.5 inch
    Front rise 24.5 cm / 9.6 inch
    Thigh: 28 cm / 11 inch
    Hem: 16.5 cm / 6.5 inch
    Inseam: 80 cm / 31.5 inch

    Note that these are one wash, minimal to no shrinking is expected but I'd suspect the denim would loosen up a bit after breaking in going by my other oni denims. Price includes shipping from Australia and PayPal fees.

  3. Will be visiting Japan a second time this coming April, spending less time in Tokyo this time around. Will be going up to Hokkaido, any recs for things to check out in Sapporo and surrounding areas? I think the guys travelling with me wants to do some sort of skiing/hit the snows in April if theres any left. Otherwise we're content with good food and exploring nature/culture things.

  4. idk if its just me but a botanical park before all of that seems a weeee bit tame from what I'm reading here, gauging by what she's saying something more physical might work but what the hell do I know.

     

    I'm in my mid 20s and gone out with 18 y/o's before and I do agree they're kinda variable/jumpy with what they want, kind of "finding out who you are" and all of that. Heck I don't even remember what stupid shit I wanted when I was 18, much less what I wanted in relationships. 

  5. yeah i try to be really cool with it 

    i say stuff like ' did you eat today tho' and shit like that  and im not sure i should say that ??

    she doesnt react bad to it, shes like yeah i ate, could be lyin or could be that she throw up the foods tho.

    i try also to offer her some food when were at home, small thing like apples and shit, and she does eat it but idk its just weird.

    also i dont feel bad to eat around her. idk if it make her feel uncomfy tho 

     

    Good to hear, by all means ask but just don't focus too much on it. It's gonna be tiring for her to hear as much as it is for you to say every time. Take away the focus from the eating thing as something they have to do and maybe look at it as something you both can share and enjoy. How's her relationship with her food, does she cook? Can you both make something together maybe? 

     

    Other than that I agree with Timber, it's gotta be on her as well to make that decision.

  6. ^ Your support is going to be valuable during this. IMO it is treatable but it does involve a lot of intensive and progressive work.

     

    Currently doing some work experience and I'm finding I'm progressively being drawn into this particular area of clinical work in combination with my degree. It's not an area we traditionally look into for what I do but it is an extremely understudied area. I've had the pleasure of working with people who have psychosis, depressive symptoms and anything in between, but it got me wondering, how many people in healthcare are able to cope with the amount of crap that gets thrown around (literally and figuratively) and dealing with people being mindful of being empathetic but not completely invested in a way that it blurs your professional integrity.

     

    Also I've always had the impression that from a medical perspective people just get prescribed meds and sent home, which is unfortunate but considering the load of cases most hospitals get it would be better to refer to someone in a community based setting.
