Denim in Singapore

[starian]

samurai is not available locally.

ar man

THanks for the reply.

I wanna try the fit first man before thinking of ordering.

Haizz no chance for a singaporean...

[VDSUPREME]

uniqlo and G2000blu work for me. uniqlos are thinner and my preferred choice...but the cut is just a touch off. still forgiveable though. thanks plongin for the tip--will go look at the bossini stuff.

did anyone else buy those 50%-discount white and grey plain pima cotton roundnecks from the ck sale? i know whizkit did...and then i saw one in a pile and had to get it as well.

Was it $249 before discount?

I'm probably gonna buy a pair of Samurais in the near future too. Why don't you just take a few measurements and see which pair would probably match you ?

That's what I intend to do at least !

[whizkit]

vdsupreme - the pima T? It was $30 after discount.

I don't like the weave of the g2000blu plain Ts. They are slightly ribbed, aren't they?

I like the lycra Ts that giodarno used to do.

[tweeds]

damn kit, our spot is blown! $30 pima cotton tees...who'd have guessed

yeah they're slightly ribbed. still, they're pretty comfortable, and keep their shape fairly well. my preference is still for the thinner, non-ribbed cotton of the uniqlo tees..

[whizkit]

haha, they sell it almost every season I think, maybe with different neck openings. Anyway, they'll keep the old stuff soon as the new FW stuff are already coming in, go grab if you want to get another one. I wish the white ones were less translucent, would have gotten it instead of the grey.

[plongin]

Hey any logos on those Bosinis? I assume not but want to confirm.

well there's a sewn on tag flapped over the bottom left corner of the tee which says "essential dry series", but nothin on the tee says bossini if thats what you're wondering too. I usually cut out the tag, its really easy. another thing bout them tees is that you gotta buy a size up cause they shrink about one size down.

also, theres a new AAA line, called the platinum series...which kinda fit like the normal AA. $12 each.

[tsunamiboy85]

AAA platinum series? Do they have it at penisular? Big fan of AAA... cheap and good...

[plongin]

yeah they had em at penin, but according to them, they were bringing it in on a trial basis only, so im not sure if they still have them.

btw, according to the urban section of the papers today, uniqlo will be opening in singapore sometime in the decently near future. that'd be pretty nice.

[jsn]

uniqlo is sg? nice, hope they keep the pricing decent thou (not like gap)

[whizkit]

uniqlo opening in singapore... and possibly h&m at I_ON

[jsn]

^any insider info?

[whizkit]

nah, from the same ST Urban article

[jsn]

ah, I should start reading the papers more often haha

[CaptMomo]

muji tees are light-weight and excellnt

the cutting's longer but not as boxy as uniqlo tho.

[test]

i'm not sure about muji tees, i got 2 cotton ones, stretched from S to M.

[feather]

I like the lycra Ts that giodarno used to do.

Those were my favorites man. Thin, fitted, and retain their shapes. Should've stocked up more

[plongin]

I think it depends on how you dry your laundry. I tend to air-dry since SG has such hot climates, but the sizing might be fucked up if you use a dryer.

I'm currently rotating a bunch of Hanes I got from Target and they have held well so far.

yeah, i have a super duper dryer at home, it shrinks things like honey shrinks the kids.

[backinthetrees]

^^ you mean like how i shrank the kids.

[starian]

hey guys.

can intro some good place to hem my jeans?

my jeans are 34inch nudie slim jims and i am totally too short for it.

I heard some chain stitching but they are not available in Singapore right?

if you're talking about just hemming them shorter, either one would do. actually you can take em to any tailor. 4-10 bucks, and they can get it done in 10 mins.

[Phileo]

I can't believe my grandma stole my 1month old imperial dukes, washed them and ironed them flat out.

My parents are going to disown me. Friends gonna leave me. The computer would probably explode on me any moment now. My alarm clock gonna fail on me.

It's amazing that i can still see some wiskers and honeycombs on my jeans. No fading though. Shrank around 1.5inches in length? Not sure how much it has shrank on the waist though(haven't put them on yet, my grandmother ironed them when they were wet).

keep that blade away from your wrists, its tempting, i know.

What about the quality of the skinnying from those 2 shops you mentioned? Cus I've been looking for a good place to tailor. Scared that if I bring to any tailor they'll do a shit job and waste money on an expensive pair of jeans.

i went to dr john once, fucked up. dragged and dragged and a shoddy piece of work was returned due to him rushing the job. very bad..
