A couple of other pet peeves of mine:

- asymmetrical shirt pockets. I'm sure there may be some historical provenance to this look but my eyes can't handle it. 0_o

- work shirts without a gusset at the hem. RgT does this with a lot of their workshirts and it's not a good look. If anything, it makes the person wearing it look like they're wearing a blouse.

I see that same issue with the small hems. At my height/weight an 8" to 8.25" hem is about right. I have several pairs that hover around 7.5" to 7.75" which is as low as i'll go.

What's SLP style?

I guess that's what running a brand is all about -- taking risks. But, 3sixteen has far more hits than misses so they're clearly doing something right.

As for bashing brands, nothing wrong with criticism imo. I'm not a big fan of the tapered carrot leg trend that's really popular right now but if there's demand for it then who am I to argue? I'll just stick with cuts that i'm familiar with.

Not sure what to think of 3sixteen's new shawl release. On the one hand, I really dig what 3sixteen does and I like the majority of what they put out. On the other hand, as a fashion piece I find the shawl a bit out of place. I can see it having merit if you were to use it camping or working on a ranch, but wearing it in an urban environment seems weird. It's like that Seinfeld episode where Elaine comes up with the urban sombrero

Sorry but that guy has no spine. What a joke, almost worst than Lawless. 

He is worse than Lawless. At least People got refunds from Lawless but WH Ranch continues to fleece customers. The sad part is that customers continue to give him money and defend the guy. It’s quite the Ponzi scheme he’s got going on. Most companies would hire additional help if demand exceeds supply, but this guy keeps BSing everyone by saying he’s a one man brand. Nope. Ande Whall made denim himself and so does Eleven Wolves denim (among others). He’s got a huge set of balls to be posting on IG all the time. 

New flannels up on the UES website 

These could very well be Cone Mills if they’re listing them as dead stock

When I worked there in 2013-14, the shipments to Pronto in Thailand constituted a humongous amount of Flat Head's revenue. I wonder if the Thai denim craze has passed and if that's hurt their profitability. They certainly don't seem to have expanded much outside of Japan - the few American shops outside of Self Edge that carried them like Snake Oil Provisions and Mildblend seem to have dropped FH stuff a while ago.

I’ve noticed this too. Brands like Iron Heart and PBJ seem to have more stores carrying their stuff, so they might be better insulated. 

I don’t know if TFH has succumbed to the competing forces of fast fashion or if it’s because of the lack of an international distribution chain. Could be both but what do I know? I never gravitated towards TFH only because their measurements didn’t work for me. I do really dig the horsehide jacket that R&H was selling but $2k is too rich for my blood

Oh, I like black wefts too. 3sixteen’s shadow selvedge is exceptional 

I think colored wefts look kinda silly as well. I’ll make exceptions for grey and/or brown wefts but anything else looks dumb.

Dude, file a complaint with the attorney general’s office in his state. If you haven’t received anything in 2 yrs your money is as good as gone. I went through the exact same BS when Lawless Denim took everyone for a ride, but I at least got my money back after the Arizona AG got involved. Took almost 2 yrs to see that refund too.

His body language is very telling. He deliberately obscures his face in most of his posts as if he has something to hide.

What I don’t like is someone coming onto a thread who knows nothing about the topic as yourself insinuating in no uncertain terms that I would post information that would be poorly researched or harmful to anyone or anything.

Since you have no knowledge or experience on this topic and the repairman is not even here to explain his findings, then you are being argumentative and disrespectful. This is not some DIY home remedy, it is simple science. Perhaps a bit out of your expertise of whether someones new britches make their hips look big...Lol

I spent many years in the 3rd generation family construction business while earning my PE, the topics of how to remove drywall dust and concrete are oft discussed in the trades and jobsite trailers are full of plumbers and never once in all that time has anyone spoken of their personal experience of prematurely worn out seals. Nor can I find even one photo of a worn out seal posted to the WWW to validate the 3rd party claim of the unknown Tech. In a world where there are 100,000 photos of people popping their blackheads, it seems atleast one photo of a worn out seal would have been posted online? But then maybe it was dried out from contact with chlorine bleach which is far more damaging than a mild Vinegar.

I am still waiting for you to tell me how to remove mold from clothing using a less harsh product and explaining why having the inside of the washer tub coated with gypsum for the next several wash loads of clothes is less a concern.

I have read a DIY practice of using Vinegar with every wash as an alternative to fabric softener. I am not advocating that and I can see how a constant contact with 5% Acetic Acid could result in damage. Perhaps that is what the Unknown and anonymous Tech (which you place all your trust in) experienced? But the treatment of mold should be a single event if performed correctly and removing drywall dust a once weekly event. It becomes a question of frequency.

Flame Away. 

Lets get back to posting pictures of cats and whether our cuffs are rolled too high, its alot more fun...Lol

 

Dude, we get it, you like vinegar. Next time I need to figure out how to get skidmarks out of my son's underwear using vinegar i'll be sure to tag you

There are plenty of sites out there that suggest the use of vinegar when washing clothes, but again, i'll take the advice of a repair tech over that of someone who is into DIY solutions. My ex coworker who funked up the coffee machine with vinegar also suggested I start brushing my teeth using ground up eggshells. Um, no.

What is the consensus on Shockoe Atelier? Yay or nay?

I don't own any of their jeans but they seem decent. The measurements for the standard kojima are perfect for me. But, i'm on a denim buying hiatus because I simply don't have enough legs to wear all the jeans in my closet.

The appliance tech did not know what he was talking about and, no offense intended, but neither do you.

”Liquid Food Stuff”? What is that even supposed to mean? Does that mean you cannot wash clothes that have food spilled on them?

How do you propose killing mold on fabric?

How do you propose rinsing the gypsum from the inside of the other member’s machine?

Too funny.

Does anyone use vinegar to clean their coffee machine? That is undiluted vinegar (5% Acetic Acid) vs Vinegar being diluted by water in a rinse cycle. The coffee machine also has rubber and synthetic seals and components.

 

Look buddy, I don't know why you're getting defensive about your vinegar solution proposal, but If that's how you choose to wash your denim then that's your choice. I guess I have an aversion to my clothes stinking of vinegar. I have never experienced a mold issue with my jeans, and if I did I would use regular laundry detergent like I always do.

And no, I do not use vinegar to clean my coffee machine nor will I ever. I worked with a girl who used a vinegar solution to clean the company coffee machine and my coffee tasted like shit for a week.

I would err on the side of caution and listen to the appliance repair tech. His job is to repair washing machines, so he/she would know better than anyone what liquids are acceptable. Besides, washing machines are built to use liquid chemicals, not liquid food stuff.

I do cold/warm water soaks to avoid inseam shrinkage. I use the washing machine on occasion too

Anyone find that if you don't wear a pair for over 4 months they become "musty"? They are not dirty and have hardly any wear, so I'm wondering if it's due to storage and what the solutions are, as I can smell it so I'm sure others can too.

I haven’t noticed this. Could just be humidity or some other unknown factor 

@kiya

Thanks. I actually got it backwards, the new cut has slightly more taper than last year's ripstock variant. I like the new cut better

@kiya

Re: the Stevenson Overall Recon Fatigues, have those been resized this year? I seem to recall last year's iteration having more taper. I kinda dig the new cut
