Just for fun - I had enough walnuts fall early in the season for a dye batch. An old cream ladywhite T on top, cheap white Muji slub tee on the bottom. Ladywhite t dyed overnight, Muji T just about an hour. Both are a bit darker in reality.
-
@julian-wolf do you forage + make your own dyes or buy materials? I've been dyeing with the walnuts in my backyard for awhile, but thinking of foraging some sumac berries this fall. I've also got baptisia tinctoria in my native garden (a "false" indigo, or yellow wild indigo), but I can't find any recipes for it even though it's been used as an indigo dye, albeit is considered an inferior one - still it could be cool to dye something light blue off of it if I could figure it out.

That’s a nice solution. Maybe I’m an outlier - I’ve never once had an issue with the standard pins. Maybe that’s due to the snug waist on my 129s but on my 900 jackets (x2) I’ve not had an issue either. I guess if it ever does come up I’ll think about this method.

OA/Tezo/Fw ‘51s/Birks and best of all this beautiful new bag c/o Duke here. I’ve had the same nylon shoulder bag I got free at a photo convention in college for about 20 years now. I needed something special to replace it and found it.

Great fit IMO

SUPERDENIM SMALL QUESTIONS THREAD (Use instead of making new threads)
ATWM replied to minya's topic in superdenim
When in doubt just email shop for photos of measurements with measuring tape. Then you know the method of measuring, and you know how you read the measuring tape (a shop’s 39 cm waist may, in a photo, be something you’d consider 40 cm, for instance). It’s not perfect but it’s about as close as you can get without trying on. Also, sometimes places make typos. -
I also picked up a few awhile back - a few undyed annd a nibi-iro Henley and was pleased enough to pick up a few more. More than probably anything I wear regularly my t shirt stock is old anjd wearing thin. So now awaiting a few indigo designs too. I hope they get the 170cm long sleeve Henley back in some time. But yes - they’re nice shirts.

Careful with going smaller with jackets esp if you have broad shoulders/chest - this is the place you can’t really be flexible with sizing. Length shrinkage tends to stay shrunk. Sleeves tend to come in even a bit shorter once creases set it. In my experience WH denim - even one wash - tends to shrink up a bit over multiple washes, even cold ones. I’ve got a couple of lined jackets (not WH) - I haven’t sized differently because of the lining - and any lining shrinkage has been in line with the denim and not affected anything.

^im not as much a shoe guy like some here but if anyone knows of some boots that look very close to what the frontman is rocking I’d be curious. Are these just OG docs in chukka form?

Our situation was admittedly not the ideal, though I’ve learned it was not so atypical either. It was covid lockdown and we couldn’t get outside help. We lived in loft studio apartment with no separate rooms. Our kid had some reflux issues that prevented him from sleeping well until about 4 months old. I had to teach online in that same apartment and my partner got a whopping 6 weeks of leave after an emergency C section, having to go back to work in person every day. Everything was super chill. It didn’t give me any grey hairs.
-
^ that’s true enough, but the cool thing is that sleep deprivation just obliterates your short term memory, so you’ll probably forget that (and lots of other stuff) before you know you forgot it.

Another vote for the 1082. I have two pairs in their blue/grey color size 30 and 31 depending on occasion. I prefer denim but when I can’t do that I’ll often go to these. I have some full count chinos too but generally prefer the warehouse.
-
Having found one that fits me I’d say it’s a worthy redundancy! It’s a shorter cut than any of my others, that alone differentiates it.

I would at least call my credit card and explain it to them, see what happens. I just looked at their store policy and they say they issue a chargeback against chargebacks, which I’ve never seen before, and gives me some sort of feeling about a retailer that feels the need to state that.
-
Tempo did make a few posts on here I saw, but I can’t seem to find the username. Didn’t they used to be in SF? Will they respond to emails? If so, they should offer to refund you with interest at this point, if they want to do the right thing, unless it was noted this was a years long wait on deposit. 2 years is usually longer than allowed for a credit dispute, but it could be worth a shot.

SUPERDENIM SMALL QUESTIONS THREAD (Use instead of making new threads)

Lots do, I’d venture to say most that ship internationally will be tax free (you can ask to make sure) but I believe RMC is one of those brands you can’t find that with. Like IronHeart or PBJ. Someone else will correct me if I’m wrong. -
I got my first pair of FC 0105 (their 13.7 oz denim) from Celluloid back when Bears had their first price hike of FC. I paid like ~$185 or so.
-
Celluloid is legit. I can’t remember, you may need to email them to ship international but they do it.
-
^working on it, but it's gonna take awhile due to both my life and the denim itself.
-
It looks permanent (I'm not going on anything other than what the site says), PA is not really a place people go for summer. And even if, I can't imagine relocating a whole studio for that reason! Hope it's a smooth transition and it all goes well, whatever it is. It would be a welcome addition to the US clothing design world!
-
Have people filed real complaints against him with BBB? That takes work, but given his track record it seems warranted. Then again, the headache might not be worth it for an individual.
-
Lots in my size, but not my price range for what it is. Hope some people get some joy out of this.

Yea, heat indexes of about 100 all week here in lower Michigan. Feels like I never left NC. New normal I'd wager, though.
