What about Jeans Jackets ....

[Guest Electrorock]

Chicken, your denim top collection is as sick as your jean collection. I can't wait for you to post your shoe collection. Or book collection, or plant collection…

Sorry for the offtopic but what about your P collection?

[TooAwesome]

Not your typical denim jacket, I'll post a few more pics to show the detailing (blue fading, blue plaid fannel pockets, lining, etc) soon but for now here is how it looks. Not raw (I don't think anyways) but it is fading blue as I mentioned so I felt it deserved to be shared.

Canadian Tuxedo (N&F Red Core, Vintage Denim Shirt cuffed over my denim jacket)

ok, i need some advice please,

i got a new Samurai S0553XX denim jacket, and have been wearing it pretty hard for daily for three weeks straight here in the early summer weather of NYC.

im a guy that breaks a sweat pretty easy, and the jacket has a bit of underarm funk going on already that i and the wife find not attractive.

without washing,

what would be the best advice to air the funk out?

from advice, i tried throwing it in the freezer for an few hours, but it didn't seem to get it out?

thanks in advance..

hi davi i suggest you put on underarm deodorant . and let it sweat again on that same jacket.

it will not go away but it will be subtle use deodoratn daily before you go out this will help

Mix vinegar and water in a spray bottle so you get a 12% vinegar solution. Spray it on the funky parts and let it dry. Old-school trick that removes odour.

I work in a theatre costume shop and one of the tricks we use is vodka mixed with water. Spray it on the offending odor and it will subside. Also vinegar and water as as someone else mentioned does well. I've found that no amount of treatment that doesn't involve washing will permanantly remove strong odors and if sweat is allowed to build up over time, even washing will fail to completely remove the odors.

[davichan]

thank you all for the help, gonna try to Vodka treatment

I understand people who try to avoid washing their raw denim stuff since with the first washing all kind of raw denim stuff will change their original raw denim colour in to a normal royal blue colour.

I just use two simple rules:

1, Start break in a new raw denim item at the beginning of the cold season and wear them as long as possible in a nice way.

2. After a long time I downgrade my items for outdoor activities and at the end I use them as work clothes.

That way I can avoid washing my raw denim stuff and can use them a pretty long time for several years until I have to retire them in the Jeansmuseum.

You have literally every single measurement you need to make a decision.

Take a measuring tape, measure your body, choose the best fit.

My black overdied Iron Heart denim jacket still doesn't show any signs of fading so far after 150 days of daily wear

Edited July 17, 2012 by swiss-jeansfreak

[syeh]

did it this morning, first wash (60°C in the machine) after one and a half year of nearly daily wear.

it was so dirty and sticky round the neck....sorry ruedi

hope you won't mind if i ask where can i buy this type of jacket? thanks

[misterh]

It's ande whall. Not sure he makes them anymore. The new one he has is fantastic though. Check that one out.

[straightxedge]

The guy who wears the Ande Whall jacket is a very talented tailor. He made this one for me.

[Rightyow77]

Bought this Sugarcane jacket and am waiting for it's arrival. I'm hoping it fits ok as I ordered a 40, but typically am a 38.

Sorry to bug, but how did this end up fitting?

[okisan]

i didn't realise he made jackets too - looks great

[straightxedge]

It´s the 2nd one he ever made. I´m impressed of the passion and the love to the details he put in the jacket.
