I did miss your cheeseburger comment, but I can also recognize that your comments are playful and not intended to offend. But yeah, borders don't make someone inherently more intelligent like some Europeans would have us believe.

I really appreciate the way you put this. I'm not going to go and say that there's nothing wrong with southerners' mindsets, but no one is perfect, and if you look at things with historical perspective you can start to see how things pass through generations and are taken as a fact of life. I think it's unfair sometimes the way some Europeans (not any of you Euros in this thread btw, you all seem lovely) bash Americans as being less civilized and evolved. I'm not even patriotic, but it bothers me when I see people talking about stupid Americans as if Europe is this perfect continent that has no problems of its own. They act like since they don't eat cheeseburgers that they are better than us. There are problems everywhere and to put those problems on the population as a whole is so unfair because of how complex and multifaceted societies are.

People wax poetic about jeans holding stories and memories and blah blah blah, but you need people in your life to make those memories in the first place

I've made a couple submissions that got posted for fade Friday. Last was like a year ago at this point though. Now that you mention it I haven't seen them show up on my ig.

Making me want an N1 again real bad. Been trying to find a good vintage one but they're kinda hard to come by especially for a good price.

SUPERDENIM SMALL QUESTIONS THREAD (Use instead of making new threads)
rbeck replied to minya's topic in superdenim
I washed my 50s about once a month (sometimes more frequently) when they were my main pair. Once they plateau'd with shrinkage and I was at a point where washing them brought the waist back in I never noticed any difference between hot and cold with respect to how tight they were post wash. But I suppose if we're talking about getting all the initial shrink out then maybe it does factor in like how a hot shower makes your fingers prune faster than a cold shower. What do I know anyway? Edit: @Double 0 Soul your reply went through while I was still typing this one. Thats a convincing enough statement! Gildan tees do get a significant amount of shrinkage, so thats a good baseline imo. -

Does hot vs cold water really affect shrinkage? I'm not totally convinced because by the time they start drying the jeans will be at room temp anyway. Never notice my TCB 50s being any tighter after a hot wash compared to a cold wash. I can see drying rates (i.e. how hot the dryer is, hang drying, etc.) having a discernable effect on shrinkage, but I don't buy hot vs. cold wash/soak making a difference. I think it's just hearsay that's been repeated enough on forums that we all just believe it to be true. -

It's such a non-issue too cos no one but the wearer is actually gonna ever notice, and if some stranger does notice it's because they're in the know and likely have an appreciation for it lol. Edit: in the time I spent typing this reply @willi said almost the exact same thing as me lol

Same Oshkosh jacket and Left Field jeans from my post yesterday, vintage ringer I just got a couple weeks ago, and Good Guys boots.

Reminds me of how I recently heard that Amazon does not like selling books with a deckled edge because of all the returns they get on em thinking it's a QC issue. It's a feature not a bug you people! Imagine dropping a grand on repros and having no clue about leg twist lmao.

German engineering, baby. Look at how little room I have in there for any wrenches lol. Changed my rear brakes, feeling good about it too since I didn't need to go to my dad for help for once. Rotors were toast and took a lot of PB Blaster, acetylene, and brute force to break free of the hub. Love road salt so much 😑. Also washed my jeans like 2 days ago because I wasn't thinking about having to do my brakes when I started the wash lol.

@cheapmuthafukr that fit is making me consider if I should get some flares. Dig the jacket too, nice repairs!

Really puts it into perspective that none of this really matters.

SUPERDENIM SMALL QUESTIONS THREAD (Use instead of making new threads)
rbeck replied to minya's topic in superdenim
Anyone have any idea where to buy mil-spec styles of fabric for fatigue pants and whatnot? Been wanting a pair of baker pants for a while and always strike out with vintage pairs since I'm real tall, so I'd like to make my own pair. Only problem is I'm finding it difficult to track down suitable fabric. -
Enjoyed what's remaining of the fall foliage in Ohio this weekend. Brother and I went for a mountain bike ride Saturday morning. Some dude was posted up taking pictures on the trail and got these pictures of me and him. Then my girlfriend and I went to Holden Arboretum in the afternoon. There's a canopy walk at the arb that I'd never had a chance to check out cos it's always been closed when I've been there, so we were excited to find out that she could take her wheelchair along it. Then on Sunday my band opened for Earth Crisis which was pretty wild. Never thought I'd get to say that. All in all it was a great weekend.

Personally wouldn't even think twice about it--it's a low stress area since it's just a pocket flap. There's two nearly full rows of stitching to hold that flap down. Fix it when you've got more than a couple unraveled stitches or fix it now so you never have to think about it again lol. Looks like the thread got broken on that top row. If you brushed against something I could imagine it breaking like that. 100% cotton stitching is gonna do that.

Thank you! They've been around the block a time or two thats for sure.

Halloween party last night. Paris, Texas became one of me and my girlfriend's favorite movies when we watched it after someone posted stills of it in the iconic denim photos thread.

What are you doing to your glasses that they can't last longer than 2 years? I've got a pair from zenni that I've worn basically daily since like 2018 and they're as in tact as ever. -
Lmao I didn't know what you were talking about with the numbers, now I see that they're roads
