[DrMoBueno]

Can I get some sort of response.

I have some nasty butt stink in the seat of my uniqlo's from riding my bike and then sun and all that, how can I get rid of the stink without having to wash my jeans?

[WeThreeVoices]

flip them inside out, put near a window with a breeze, leave it for a couple of days, then if needed use something like febreeze.

at least thats what i do.

Also, I'm bout' to pull the trigger on another pair - 1108's or 660's? I have 103's and 710's, so maybe looking for something a bit looser in the 1108's. Help!

+ Difference between 1108 and 1108C on BIG site?

I don't understand when people talk about chain stitching. I thought chain stitching was only two threads, and it looks the same on both sides. However, I see on some of my clothes one side very plain, and the other side very complicated, like shown here. I thought chain stitching was only like illustrated on this page:

I do not understand how that works or even what it is called, but they are not the same kind of stitches I would doubt. Thanks for any replies... hoping to get one....

Good background chainstich info from ringring:

And another good post explaining the various types of chainstitch from another denim guru, andewhall:

Thanks! You were a great help. I searched for stitching on the forum but did not find those threads. Thank you so much.

i'm 72kgs 178cm in height. wearing a pair of 29 apc. so i was considering getting a pair of 19cms will size 29 be good?

kay so I need to increase the inseam of some dry denim from 32 inches to 33, 34 if possible. They've already been hot soaked. Would soaking in cold water and then stretching achieve this? Thanks!

No. I've tried this, even using a home-made clamp while drying them and odn't believe it works, not to the extent of getting back more than half an inch or so

[dacrow]

well thats depressing. But thank you for the reply. Is there anyway to increase inseam? I would think there would be since the denim can stretch in any other direction with wear

[Paul T]

Denim doesn't necessarily stretch equally in all directions; depends on the weave. By all means hang weights on them as they dry, but you are unlikely to get a full inch.

Anyways, I reckon stacking is going out of fashion. I met a noted industry guru for coffee recently, slyly checked, and I believe his 55-style jeans were ankle length...

[Hendodo]

^^ lolz, i guess some ppl like their jeans flooding. anyways, ive tried to do that weight thing, and i got about .5 of an inch..

[wmmk]

which brands, other than imperial and nudie, are cut straight through the hips and have low back rise (relative to front rise)?

[rockon99]

do warehouse 660s stretch back to their original waist? or just an inch or so. i'm trying to decide on a size to get. i'm about a 36 measured but want a slim fit.

[beatle]

not all the way - but def. 1 inch...

[beatle]

does the fabfour online shop ship internationally?

yes, they do

[rockon99]

thanks beatle - will probably go with sz 33 then. BIG says it shrinks to 35.

[duck sauce]

what exactly causes shrinkage in fabrics? my current theory is that it has something to do with water tension, as the water evaporates, the tension pulls the fibers together?

[clover]

I'm looking for a fit similar to my skull 5010xx 6x6...

I was thinking s710 or maybe warehouse 660.

any suggestions?

thanks in advance!

[Opie]

Wrong thread, but the faded 660'es have all been amazing.

Re: hidden rivets.

I don't get the need for them. Yeah, it's authentic and vintage and all that but I don't really find the need for it and after a while, my ass really starts to hurt when I sit.

Am I the only one?

[altwaev]

i like the low back yoke on some Nudies but want something with stitching that's more basic and subtle, like APC.

any reccomendations?

[Biff15]

...been wondering that same thing about similar fits to the skulls myself...

they're to reinforce the back pockets- people who do hard labor would have use for them as i would think its a lot harder to rip a back pocket with rivets than without. Them being hidden would be to prevent scratching what you sit on. Pretty obvious actually.

if you feel that way, you might as well just find some without back pocket rivets.

I've never ever felt any discomfort from the hidden rivets on any of my jeans, and I can't imagine anyone having a problem with them.
