^^ jmfr.

ande whall Buffalo or Caribou may fit the bill. Check out the size charts on his site www.andewhall.bigcartel.com

 

The Caribou are not a bad suggestion she struggles to get a small waist with a 33" inseam, the back pocket stitch will not be her thing (not that i have a fucking clue what her thing might be)

Shopping in Leeds or a Tattoo which is the most painfull? I know most folks in Leeds swear by both.

Long as you drink ale.

 

Hey if there's booze in it?

Sorry for this noob question.  Just got into the loopwheel festish lately and was wondering what is the best value sweatshirt?

[Double 0 Soul]

I would say forget about value, a good sweatshirt will last for many years making price irrelevant. I have purchased loads of sweats on the quest for the perfect fit, and that is the main thing. Have a browse through http://supertalk.superfuture.com/index.php/topic/16458-vintage-sweatshirts/ and see what cut suits your body shape. Remember some amazing quality sweatshirts are not Loopwheeled just because it says loowheeled that does not necessarily evevate the material above non-loop.

[zippopotamme]

2 question in 1 :

1 : what is the signification of chainstitch runoff ?

2 : Do you cut theses or not ?

[Double 0 Soul]

1: Once the material that is being chainstitched has passed through the machine the machine continues with the chainstitch for the length of the run off to avoid the need to tie off.

 

2:No! your stitch will start to unravel.

[zippopotamme]

thanks for your answer.

Why not finishing chainstitch "normally" lioke in jeans hem ?

if i cut and make a node to the runoff ?

I cut them off, then manually bartack over them, I find them ugly and irritating and feel they make the item look badly finished,

But that's probably just me...

[zippopotamme]

i'm like you i don't like it when the shirt is out the pant.

i think i'll cut them on my prps shirt...

The last time you posted your opinions on run off maynard i thought you was "avin us on" I love my run off and feel gutted if they get broken. Each to his own i suppose.

Thanks that was very helpful.

No problem, If the sizing works for you then both Whitesville and Barns offer unparalleled value for money imo.

[BlackPig]

Should I size up one to allow for shrinkage?  Considering The Strike Gold sweats ATM.

[forget it]

what's the consensus on ocean soaks nowadays? i can't help but think it's a bit dumb myself but it looks like a ton of fun and definitely something i'd do. The guys at Self Edge shit on it in that 'denim myths' video but it seems cool to me.

Not at all, The strike gold do come up a bit short in the body after a wash and that might not work for you but if you are between sizes for the Wh/Barns go with the smaller size especially with the Whitesville.

Ocean soaks are yesterday's news. Everyone's doing babbling brook soaks now.

In my experience, I had to size up on the Strike Gold sweatshirts.  I had a medium that fit great raw, but like a fool I forgot to take into consideration that they shrunk.  I ended up with a $200 sweatshirt that didnt fit, was too short.  

[Double 0 Soul]

Once the body has shrunk the arms look like Mr.Tickle arms in comparison. I would say if you have a long torso...Avoid.

[garden gnomes in space]

^^this.  I will say I sized up on the hoodie, which has raglan sleeves.  Im not sure how well my size up method would work on the crew that has set sleeves,  unless you are ok with a sleeve seam that hits your bicep haha.  

[efujobu1]

Sizing question on Fullcount 1101 or 0105.

Generally TTS or SD1?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

SD1 IMO

[rustygoose]

2 down on 0105 works too, i went down 1 & it's too big.

 

Guess it comes down to how you want them to fit, waist is np.. stretch like crazy.
