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

Well, technically if you just have enough stiff fabric and the bottom is already bunched up that fabric will want to go somewhere else.

Look at TG's jeans for example, the extra fabric created by the curves needs to go somewhere, but it won't be able to fall down due to the curves she cut into them.

I could also imagine a pair of jeans with a small hem opening and maaaaaasive long legs to do the same, once a portion of the extra fabric has bunched up at the bottom but there is still fabric left it has to stack somewhere no?

Alternatively, try to get some government grant to develop a jeans only anti gravity device...

[Jetach]

Well my jeans always get bunched up at the bottom and make it look flared n shit. I'm short and I wear 30 inseam but this pair of jeans are 32 and they bunch up like crazy at the bottom. So just starch the shit out of it?

[Charlie Delta]

What about getting those 2 inch inseam chopped off?

Starching doesn't sound like your solution here...

[midnight]

Chop that shit off. Starching won't help.

Hi SF'ers,

I am really inspired by Ande Whall making his own jeans, and just had a couple questions if I were to get started myself. Yes, I realize this has been discussed, but it's till not clear, so here goes:

What is the deal with this 'chainstitch'. I've read numerous postings, and it seems people call a 'double lockstitch' a 'chainstitch'. Are these the same thing? Do I need a double-needle machine to do them the same as on say a 1947 repro? I guess I'm just trying to find out waht kind of machine(s) I need to get started making my own jeans. Ande Whall, if you're listening PLEASE HELP!

Thanks,

prajna12

Dam. I guess the only way is to get em tailored but I payed like 30 bucks for these jeans cuz they were on sale. So is it even worth getting them hemmed? =/.

[FreshStew]

Is there any nice grey denim with a similar wash to Dior grey denim?

[FreshStew]

I just wanted to know if there was anything similar to Dior's grey denim but affordable.

What else do you need to know?

[Mihalis]

[Memime]

I recently gt myself a pair of dior MIJ Black wash 08 series SZ 28 the hem is 16.5, but the thigh area is so damm tight. I normally wear sz 29 for April77 raw jeans. DId i get the right sz??

[pushingbuttons]

I know there is an abundance of STF questions, but I found these 501s and they do not have the typical STF 501 tag on them. They are as stiff as STFs, has anyone else come across these and do they shrink as much as STF??

[MindxMatters]

If you take a closer picture of the price tag I can look at the color code and tell you.

[fattybfat]

when and where did you get it? is it made in the u.s? It could just be a regular one wash.

[Sympathy-For-The-Denim]

it´s just a rigid preshrunk or sanforized jean...

[pushingbuttons]

If you take a closer picture of the price tag I can look at the color code and tell you.

the color code on the tag is 2502..thanks for the help

[scoon0224]

I'll keep this is in here so I don't gum up the Eternal thread... But is the new 36" 811 a permanent fixture for BIG? Or limited?

edit: also, does anyone have any of the Paul Smith BIG's? I'm happy as shit with my WH 660's (34"), and the measurements seem to indicate a similar fit. Anyone with both care to chime in?

[rockon99]

erm.. unless this was moved, this is the small questions thread.

[Charlie Delta]

Heh heh heh...

[rockon99]

hahahahaha thanks cotton..

[who8mahrice]

Thinking about trying to manually remove a coin pocket rivet on my jeans. It'll probably leave a hole which I'd just have to sew over, yea? Any advice? Search didn't yield much.

[rockon99]

do you constantly scrape your hand on it? haha

[midnight]

The hole probably won't be too large but you should try to sew a little denim over it by hand if it's really annoying you.

[who8mahrice]

It just keeps punching dents into my belt when I sit (it bends riiiiiiight in between the belt and rivet). But before I can remove it, I got find something I can stick to wedge in between...Not much here in my apartment to use.

[Guest harpenden]

hey,

i spotted a nice pair of black jeans with a great fit out yesterday. i was only able to catch the back pocket detail, which was something like a silver metal rectangle attached to the back right pocket. any ideas? thanks in advance!

matthew

[lamb.]

That's pretty vague.

Use the small questions thread next time.

[Guest harpenden]

thanks lamb, definitely will.

the metal rectangle fit in the upper half of the back pocket. the cut of the jean was slim though not skinny. to me eye, they looked overdyed.

[grouse_allergy]

That's pretty vague.

Use the small questions thread next time.

Am I missing something?

[who8mahrice]

It was probably not in this thread but got moved here.

[powerviolence]

I am just curious:

When you purchase more than one thing on ebay to recieve a shipping discount, how do I buy more than one item at once from the same seller, so they know I am eligible for the discount?

thanks
