I thought my medical records were confidential?

[jewellben]

has anyone ever used Rit Colour remover to fade jeans? does it work? any tips?

[Double 0 Soul]

Why do you want to fade your jeans?

[jewellben]

i'm bored of rigid denim at the moment and fancy lightening a pair for the summer (if it ever arrives)

[Double 0 Soul]

I dont know what jeans you are considering fading?  If i was you i would not ruin a good pair of jeans just buy some of those "stone wash" jeans found for less than £20 on all UK high streets.

Sounds like you're after a pair of faded Lois from the 1980s Ben.

Forget about the colour remover, My advice would be... wait until your mother goes out to the bingo, chuck a spade full of stones in her washing machine chuck your jeans in, 60C spin wash and as if like magic 80,s denim.

 

Then simply claim on the household insurance for the flooding and washing machine damage, If its a BEKO they will have had the same claim many times in the past.

Now a pair of fat Lois cords would be the look to take me back to the 80's!

That made me chuckle - sky trip to the launderette with some rocks in my pocket could be on the cards

Can someone recommend a place that will reverse the collar of a jean jacket?

My type III jacket collar blew out.

 

Thanks in advance.

Just wanted to see peoples suggestion on viberg boot sizing.

 

US sizing;

Using the brannock foot measuring device in the stores i'm a 8.5

 

my sizes:

red wing = 7.5

clarks = 7

seavees = 8.5

jack purcell = 8.5

Athletic shoes (nike/reebok) = 8.5

 

After doing some digging I should be either a 7 or 7.5 in Vibergs.  Just wanted to check if that is correct.

 

Thanks

I'm interested in making my own leather belt and I'll be buying the leather and all the supplies from Tandy. I'm wondering about the dye and if I should even dye it. Can you guys help me find some examples of what no dye would look like once worn in? Thanks

Hello, I'm new to here hence the late reply but I can help you.

 

Look for natural vegetable tanned belts/goods etc. I would describe the colour as manila. This Is the natural colour of the leather hide after It has been tanned and buffed to a smooth finish. This will develop Its own patina over time and darken In colour, you often see leather goods sold like this without any other colour applied. It will not be hard to find examples online.

I would advise against dying If you are Inexperienced but If you must then I can give you advice If needed.

 

Hope this helps.

Can someone recommend me a pair of relaxed denim for <200? I have Fullcount 0105s and they're too tight right now. I want something more relaxed and light for the summer. 6'4' 210, muscular legs. Medium to high rise.

I've been rotating 2 pairs of jeans for the last 6 months but they are showing no signs of fading and I'm now incredibly dizzy. Am I doing something wrong?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yes, totally. you should add 4 more jeans to your rotation

Picking Brains:   If anyone has any leads on Italian Mills producing Selvedge it would be appreciated   Just got swatches from ITV and Berto but need to build a bigger library.  Legler went bust a few years ago and most of the others are not producing Selvage.  Any suggestions appreciated.

I bought Roy buck tite size 31 that's how much room there is in it stretched out(sorry for my underwear) this is my first unsanforized Jean when I soak do think I will be ok? Hot cold or warm? Thanks Alot xx

[Maynard Friedman]

^ I think you're on the wrong forum here with that type of 'downshot'!

[Artax]

Can anyone recommend a brand or brands of denim that do not stretch much? I'm mainly looking at Japanese denim as I've experienced a few american brands and would like to try something different, but I have a peeve about Denim that stretches a lot (like APC) particularly in the knee Region of the pant. Any help would be awesome thanks!

[Maynard Friedman]

^ The Studio D'artisan SD-10* range does not stretch much at all in my experience.

I prefer them hot but each to his own i suppose.

[Maynard Friedman]

^^ Yes, of course. We are all gay because we don't like your own homo-erotic photos. Great logic!

I ordered a shirt from klax-on about 3 weeks ago and it still has not shipped.  I've contacted them through email and their shop on rakuten but I haven't really gotten a reply yet.  Thoughts on what to do next?

Its all live, If you buy the last item in stock then it instantly becomes "X" sold out. There is usually a triangle in the size box that denotes "last few" or last one in stock.
