Denim Blunders, Reflections and General Nonsense.

[FreeCharlesManson]

I just blocked my personal account on my clothes account. Then I went to my clothes profile on my personal (blocked) account. This is what I see. When I click follow it suggests accounts to follow but it won't let me follow the account

[Sensuki]

If you've been blocked it will most likely show "Sorry, this page is not available", at least on a computer. Can't speak for the instagram app.

[propellerbeanie]

Yeah, pretty sure I've been blocked then, but it's probably a bug and not an intentional block. I feel like I'm part of an exclusive club now haha

On the app if you try to search for the person's name who's blocked you, nothing shows up, like they don't exist. 

On IG, no one can hear you scream.

Exclusion-based interwebz

[mikecch]

Lol, it seems my local shops have all blocked each other, hahaha.

Please don't block me...

Anyone else not liking the big-biceps look? IMO repro usually includes an unfortunately regressive masculine caricature (miner, farmer, engineer, biker, lumberjack, etc..)..but i'm not liking SE's "modern" or "next level" take...

 

I'm late here but how is being muscular regressive?

I think I've asked a similar question in the past but anyone know of something similar to this fullcount jacket (http://www.fullcount-online.com/item/2887.html)? I love it, but unfortunately the biggest size is still too small. Was hoping to find something close to it.

There's a similar one by LVC on sale at canoe club right now, not sure what the sizing is like on it though.

Thanks for the suggestion! It's pretty much spot on, but for some reason there is something off about it. Good price though, thanks!

[longshanks]

@d-rew12 I agree, I think it looks a little too green, and the proportions are a tad weird, collar and pockets look a bit too small.

Not that it's important or anything, but if someone's Instagram account is unsearchable (and only reachable through tagged photos), and unable to be followed, does this mean you've been blocked? Tapping the "follow" button makes a loading symbol appear for a split second, and I know it's not my Wi-Fi that's playing up. The pic below is related.

lol

And why would Railcar want to block you? They aren't Simmons Bilt

Here's hoping we all didn't make our "last  few purchases" from Japan due to warring words between two inept leaders.  It's a shame one island is literally in the middle of all of this, at the mercy of both sides.  I feel for them.

Here's a good blog post from Kamakura Shirts about the costs and reality of making clothes in Japan:

Gotta love translation functions sometimes:

Their sizing info in the US is whack

Edited August 24, 2017 by Sensuki

[Iron Horse]

Homespun? I read that they use different sizing in the US vs. Japan markets, possibly hot pre-washing shirts for Japan. Not positive though. 

[Sensuki]

I was looking at the US measurements and they were measuring the shoulder at 16" on the XL, but the UK ones were measuring 17.75" on the Medium

[Iron Horse]

Yeah, Rakuten showing 17.3 inches for the shoulders on a Medium. Might have to email them about that. 

 

[mlwdp]

19-20 inches in shoulders for me will do it.

Probably late to the party since SdA uses the Suvin Gold cotton for quite some time but nonetheless, I found this diagram pretty interesting. Especially where the much loved Zimbabwe cotton is located in comparison with Supima or Suvin Gold. Although it has been said very often, that Zimbabwe cotton isn’t as long as many think it is. Also nice to see the Texas and Memphis cotton in comparison.

 

 

 

Furthermore, a little article about the growing of Suvin Gold.
