SUPERDENIM SMALL QUESTIONS THREAD (Use instead of making new threads)
julian-wolf replied to minya's topic in superdenim
Seems like a question for @Flash?? -
@indigoeagle Yep, really pleased with it so far

Same same Great Lakes x2 / Power Wear / Cane’s / Russell

@jkbrwn Thanks! Great Lakes Gmt. Mfg. Co. is a Freewheelers label, also responsible for Bubo Sport Togs. Not much info floating around besides what’s here on this forum (largely courtesy of Duke), but generally speaking they’re a [fictitious] outdoors- / sports- / hunting-wear company based in the Midwestern US and operational from around the 1910s through around the 1970s. (The Great Lakes shirt that I’m wearing above is the same that Broark has on in the post below mine)

@bartlebyyphonics Yep, snagged from eBay with some very light wear (uppers creaseless and insoles printless) and this’ll be my first full day in them! I’d love a pair of Knockabouts some day; these are some or other version of the Zephyr, with a double bottom and a stiff heel counter. I guess the leather is chamois or nubuck, fantastically soft on the outside but too early to say much else about it

Better that than putting on $1000 of Rick Owens wares to shitpost about jeans…you’d still be 3/4 naked -

^^ Can’t speak for the other end of things, but giving their seal of approval to these weird looking fashion sneakers (& associated weird looking overpriced fashion clothes) was the last nail in the coffin for my ability to take Self Edge seriously -

Denim Blunders, Reflections and General Nonsense.

Yep, I had an SE for a long time and just switched to a 12 Mini a couple years ago. It’s too big, but less too big than any of the other viable options (emphasis on viable), and all things considered iPhones do seem to hold up great -

^ Why not just ask whoever’s selling you your pants to measure the pockets for you ?? -

Sewing machines are pretty complicated, and small changes can have strong effects on how stitching turns out. The tensioning (and, correspondingly, the thread gauge) plays a big role. The whole reason we see the particular style of roping that we’re used to is an imbalance in how the top and bottom feeds pull the fabric—and the operator has quite a bit of control over how strong of an effect this is. Paying enough attention, it’s not too difficult to get a fairly even stitch out of a 43200G, or to get good roping with the straight stitch on a modern home machine. The folder also plays a big role; standard folders came in at least a few sizes, and I’m sure bigger factories had plenty more machined in-house, some of which resulted in very different hems than others.

As if called forth by @smoothsailor & kin, Tyler, The Creator’s put out a new album chock full of absolute bangers

I wish there were alternatives. I really like Town View for simple soft sole mocs, and there’s a few options for Wallabee style joints, but there really doesn’t seem to be anyone else doing a great job of general all-purpose rubber-soled high- and low-tops and everything in between
-
Yep, I’ve stopped looking at any new / full price Russells They’re great moccasins but not $800 great, and given the coincidence of their recent restructuring it’s very hard to imagine that much of the increase in revenue is going to the workers anyway
-
^ Out of curiosity, Doc, if you’re comfortable w/ sending them out to get arcs added then what’s the mental block to just getting a tab sewn on at the same time?

I’ve had my Tender shades (w/ prescription lenses in them) for around 4–5 years and they’re still good as new -

The MiUSA line is legit, I think they use the same factory as Mister Freedom for their jeans?
-
Made in California? Or just the “Sugar Cane California” line? SC California is almost all made in China, as far as I remember
