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

[im_shy]

does anyone remember the name of a fairly young denim company that had a thread on superdenim? they were from thailand or some other south east asian country. they let you choose the denim fabric used, the back pocket design, the rivets & buttons etc.

^artist denim ? link

if I ordered the S5000VX21oz from BiG will they not have the sammy arcs + tab ?

if not where is my best bet for getting a pair with arcs + tab to be shipped in the U.S. ?

edit; are the S510XX21oz mutch different in terms of cut/fit ?

if I were a tagged size 31 in the S5000VX21oz, would I size the same for that kind of fit ?

answers and input are much appreciated my friends..

I'm curious, is there any particular model of jeans which are no longer made and that are highly valued, i.e. someone has paid thousands for a pair in an auction or something? Authentic old pairs of Levi's, perhaps?

[apsidewatch]

^ best i can think is Dior Homme, but not to thousands per pair..

It is very hard to get a conclusive answer regarding if the Lee 101z 23oz jeans are sanforized or not I even went to the local Lee store and they didn't know.

Online some stores say they are sanforized others say they are unsanforized does anyone know for sure? The pair I have is a good fit but might shrink to much if I wash them and I want to know before removing the tags and start wearing the pair.

Hi,

Quick question regarding "sanforizes vs unsanforized" denim.

I know it will affect the shrink after washing.

But does it also impact the way the jean is going to strech out?

I bought a new pair this weekd and I just learnt they are "sanforized".

I took them really tight and I really plan to get them streched out to the right cumfortable size.

Thank you and sorry for this noob question

EDIT : I didn't find the answer in the Sanforization topic

Some people do think Sanforized jeans stretch more. OF course, there's a lot of variety in how effective Sanforization is; some do seem to shrink a little bit, so good luck!

[rexet]

Well I see. Thank you for your help !

I have a question regarding how SE measures the thigh, since its 1 inch below the crotch. Does this usually result in a bigger thigh measurement compared to if you were to measure it directly from the crotch?

Edited January 17, 2013 by noobedloser

[beautiful_FrEaK]

as the legs usualls gets slimmer from thigh to leg opening, you will get a smaller result when you measure 1" from the crotch

No, all the old Levi's are virtually worthless. In fact the older the pair, the less value it has. If you start with a pair of modern day repros at say $300, you can depreciate by about $2 per year on a straight line basis, so that a pair from the 1960s is worth approx $200 (50 years x $2 = $100), a pair from around 1915 = $100 and a pair from the early 1870s = $20. You get the general picture?

[Double 0 Soul]

Darn it! I have been saving some Valencia st 47,s that i thought could be worth at least $10 one day, if i dont get rid of them soon they will be almost valueless. Who will give me $5 for them shipped? Ok you have twisted my arm... Make it $2.

[Maynard Friedman]

^ Too late, I think you're already in the realms of paying someone to take them off your hands. Give me $10, well let's call it £10 instead as we're both sterling geezers and you pay for the postage. Deal?

[Double 0 Soul]

You drive a hard bargain maynard. If i dont get in in the post today i will owe you £12. by Monday.

To give mickeypunch credit his original question was funnier than any witty retort.

Can anyone recommend a good & cheap tailor in NYC?

[wvpv]

Sounds like Crazy Talk to me (and im not talking about the bloke who stitched em together)

[PhillyFresh]

Which other brands of denim are similar to flathead in terms of fade and characteristics?

[ThisIsDylan]

I am planning to order N&F's Skinnyguys but am not sure which size to get. I have a 32" waist, so should I get the size 30 (W31.5) or the 31 (W32.5)? I have heard that they will stretch after a while, and .5 inches shouldn't be too much, but I have also heard raws can shrink after the first wash.

Anybody know a good place to shop in Dublin?
