SUPERDENIM SMALL QUESTIONS THREAD (Use instead of making new threads)

[fre-co]

If you feel like doing something good you rep them back.

And you always rep people who gives you advice *winkwink*

and asking for rep will get you a neg.

oh shit I'm out.

[fre-co]

put some oil on it

and then just tan it for a couple days

but that'll only minimize it

it's pretty much impossible to keep indigo completely off of leather

and in my opinion it makes it look better covered in indigo

Tan first, then oil.

Anyone know if these will fade?

THanks

Those will not fade.

How does the slubbiness (sp?) of denim affect the fade? Is slubby denim desirable, or is it all down to personal taste?

Cheers!

personal taste, but it will affect how the denim fades. look at fades on onis and pure blue japan to see how super slubby denim fades; it can be a very grainy fade.

You know those speedbumps on the road that are all scratched up on top because cars scrape over them?

Look at it like that, slub will stick out of the surface of the denim more, and thus be more likely to be "scraped",

this will create small vertical flecks that are lighter than the surrounding areas along the surface of the denim.

And whether you like that or not is totally up to you...

Jeans + freezer = Mega no. Unless you can somehow suspend them above any touching surface, that is. If they touch a surface and stay in the freezer in that position, water will condense on them and they will literally become frozen in that position.

Yes, from personal experience...

Hey, how would the fit of the flatheads f380 compare to say the samurai s5000vx or APC rescues. I own a pair of rescues that I really like the fit of, are the F380's significantly slimmer? Should I sell them off and pick up a pair of samurais instead? Thanks

[AHHHRT]

Another quick question, how would Corpus Tal-S fade? I'm looking at getting a pair not just for fading, but mainly for an everyday chill denim.

[Jster]

Does anyone know of any places can do chain stitch hemming around Sydney Australia?

Thanks in advance.

[polari- polari on ice]

[opethrapture]

[fre-co]

^Samurai USA model

[opethrapture]

^^

yeah I have beem going back and forth between Real Mccoys Bronco busters, Samurai Usa modell and S526XXll. Difficult decisions I'm facing huh

[jpsmith98]

Not a denim question, but they're repro so I figured I'd post here:

Anyone have any experience with Buzz Rickson chinos? I'm looking at the Original Spec. Chinos as they seem to be the slimmest that they offer. Any general comments, as well as sizing advice (I'm a 31 in the SC 47s) would be appreciated.

Also, any advice on where to get these in North America would be good, but I have a feeling I'll have to have them shipped from Japan.

[johnnyrebel]

[fre-co]

I have size 30 Rescues and 32 F380s. My Rescues are slightly slimmer actually. Like maybe 1/4" at the hem. If you want I can post fit pics and measurements, I'll just have to track down my camera.

You should note that I only warm soaked my Flatheads because I'm tall and wanted to keep the inseam. If I did a really hot soak I suppose they could be slightly slimmer at the hem.

The 1966 LVC 501 is a slim-straight-leg jean, and the APC NS is a slim-tapered jean.

The closest LVC item to APC NS is the 1947 LVC 501, I believe.

Wrong way round. 1947 LVC is straight leg. 1966 501 features a slight taper.

can baby powder be used to replace reg starch?

[7-eleven]

Are Samurais ever sanforized?

[Battles]

I'm 5'9, 130lbs.

What is my best bet size for imp shearers? 28 or 29?

[operationjake]

How about... your waist measurements?

My Shearers stretched about 1.25" so calculate with that.

[kiya]

can baby powder be used to replace reg starch?

Are you serious?

If so, yes.

[kiya]

Are Samurais ever sanforized?

I don't believe i've ever seen a pair of sanforized Samurai jeans.. Though I've definitely seen denim shirts they've produced in the past that have been sanforized.

We'd need a bit more info, but from what information you've given us i'd say 29.

Here's a size chart to help you:

I'm 6'4'' 190 pounds, 31ish waist. So far I've worn ESODS and Dry Bone's Red-D's. For my next pair I want something more of a relaxed fit, higher rise, bordering on baggy fit. Something I could wear dunks with or something. I was debating the 21oz 5000vx but I'm not convinced they're that much rommier than my Red-D's when you remove the taper. I need something with a 36ish inseam and a bit roomier, so I was looking into Momotaros, but I'm not sure of the model. Anything along the baggier fit without being too baggy, highish rise suggestions for me with a long ass inseam?

[Drewp]

anyone ever try a beer soak?

[Quills]

I just bought a pair of PRPS Tight Fit and I want a more tapered fit, so I'm looking for a good tailor in the Philadelphia/ King of Prussia area. Any recommendations?
