    That was exactly what I did before asking here, I couldn't find anything here, for example- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Cliffs_of_Dover

    I’ve never heard of the White Cliffs of Dover being man-made. How so?

    I’ve already added it to the list of “how many pairs I’ve never bought.”🙂 But seriously, I’m genuinely impressed—in the best way—by the enthusiasm here. I’ll be looking forward to photos of the different stages!

    Is an electronic version available? Shipping any package to Ukraine is currently problematic and, in any case, takes an indefinite amount of time.

    I was ordering from Mcfly. By accident it was a pair of Freewheelers Walden corduroy pants, which have suspender buttons - a question couple of days ago here 🙂

    Our kind Russian neighbors launched a massive missile strike on energy infrastructure and water supply early this morning across the country. They’re doing everything they can to create a festive mood for us. There’s been no electricity since morning, but it’s still a holiday. We’re celebrating—and we wish the same for everyone else. Well, except for those too busy preparing their stinking missiles.

    Just like the experience with my old Macs, they’re always plugged.

    I think the suggestion above about an inexpensive external keyboard makes sense. Before fully replacing the keyboard on my MacBook Air, I connected an external Wi-Fi keyboard, and while it took some time to get used to, the solution worked. Probably, even a very inexpensive USB keyboard could do the job. I still have an old MacBook Air, I believe from 2011, and a MacBook Pro from 2007. Both still work, though with limited functionality. The keyboards on both are fine, and I’ve never replaced the keys. I don’t remember if anything spilled on the keys, but over so many years, it’s quite possible. So yes, over time, everything becomes more fragile. And we’re not getting any younger either 🙂

    I don’t want to upset you, but fixing such issues with the keys on your own is likely to be quite challenging, if not impossible. I recently encountered a problem with the keyboard on my new MacBook Air after a small amount of coffee spilled on it. The keys still worked, but they started making a suspicious crunching sound. The spacebar, in particular, began to stick, and when typing quickly, there were often no spaces between words. I tried removing the spacebar to clean underneath (there was indeed a hardened sticky drop), but I couldn’t reinstall the key properly. I managed to attach it somehow, but it only worked when pressed in the center and didn’t respond at the edges. I ended up taking it to an Apple service center, where they explained that removing and reinstalling keys is almost impossible due to the fragile construction, which is prone to damage. The only solution, which I ultimately opted for, was to replace the entire keyboard, which required partial disassembly of the laptop. Including labor, which took about three hours, the repair cost me around $120.

    ^ glad they didn't forget to mention Grateful Dead 🙂

    I was using FromJapan several times, it is easy. Otherwise, you can them directly at Mepse website contact/inquiry page. Just provide them with your address and tel number and ask to send you a paypal invoice for required item. I did the same many times with Japan's vendors and it works 9 times out of 10.

    When I bought my first pairs of Japanese jeans and felt uncertain, I would usually start by soaking them in cold water for 40-60 minutes. Then I’d let them dry and see the result. If the shrinkage was less than expected, I might repeat the process in warmer water. The first machine wash came only after wearing them for some time. The washing temperature depended on whether I needed further shrinkage or not. A couple of times, I tried to shrink some particularly loose items by washing them at a high temperature. It rarely worked, though I managed to cook a tag or two. Now, I usually start by soaking in cold water and then wash on a gentle cycle at 40 degrees after some wear, inside out.

    But you'll be able to stitch as messily as you like, leaving Konaka-san green with envy and leaving scraps of thread of any length.

    Additional plus, their threads are strong — pure nylon.

    I had a friend here in Odessa who owned a professional sewing machine and would hem some of my pairs with a chain stitch for a symbolic fee. The stitch looked good, but the problem was that the rope effect was missing. In the case of Uniqlo, it’s probably not a fact that they use a Union Special or something similar, right? Besides, it’s stated that this is only for online orders, so they wouldn’t accept a private order from someone with an item purchased elsewhere, would they?

    When IKEA will start selling jeans, they’ll probably come in sets like this.

    This. We constantly learn something and then forget it. It’s fine—the objects of knowing flow in smoothly and leave just as smoothly, leaving no trace. We stay.

    This is a serious question with an obvious philosophical undertone. If we are deeply impressed by something (it could be anything, from a pair of jeans to a piece of music or a fascinating journey, and so on), we might want to repeat it, to relive the same experience. Or even to experience it endlessly. Of course, this is impossible. Everything changes endlessly, and these changes, both objective and subjective, are beyond our control. As for me, I have never bought duplicate pairs—not because there weren’t jeans I particularly liked, but rather because I tend to seek variety and try new things in the quest for the denim grail... 🙃

    Overall, I don’t find anything particularly valuable in a leg twist. If it’s there, ok; if not, even better. For example, proper hemming with a rope effect is much more important—in fact, I would say it’s essential.

    Yes, I recognized couple of covers, Miles Davis Workin' and Herbie Hancock's Maiden Voyage.

    Are these speakers (Dynaudio?) glued to the stands or attached in some other way? I’d be afraid that the weight of the LPs could move them out...🙂

    Tricker's boots look really classy.

    There is a chinos thread here.
