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

[gonegonegone]

no the thread is just missing from the knee down.

[beatle]

so they are open ?

[gonegonegone]

no they are not open, but the thread on the outside (from the knee down) is just not there.

[beatle]

ah..you mean the fraying "stopper" ....well - they'd have to remove it in order to cut the denim...

[gonegonegone]

i'm talking about this outer thread:

[scoon0224]

Means they probably just sewed a bustem seam like on the outseam.

A proper inseam is first sewn together more or less like the outseam, but with the edges of the fabric sewn together with overlocking. Then it's all folded down and sewn through to the outside.

[gonegonegone]

what should i do now? the tapering job is pretty good. tailor used the thread from the inseam for the chainstitching of the hem (tailor didn't totally unravel the hem).

should i just go to another tailor and tell him to fix the inseam?

[ssheat]

I'm not entirely sure what the tailor did. Maybe he stitched them on the inside instead? I would just wear them a bit and see if the leg starts to unravel. Then, I would take them to another tailor and have him re-sew together the leg. If the tailor is competent, he wouldn't have just un-stitched the leg. I'm guessing that it should be no technical problem, although it may well look a bit awkward.

[gonegonegone]

i don't want to wear em like that. the missing single-stitching on the outside really annoys me. so if i go to another tailor i tell him to completely redo the inseam? is there anything else i could add not to mess up the job?

thanks for your help so far guys!

[duck sauce]

to i think they would have to cut the thread holding together the busted selvedge seam to do that (re-sewable), otherwise you can't really get the sewing machine inside the pant leg to do it

or you could roll the leg up and sew it( or get a tailor to do it)

yea^

Does hemming unsanforized denim before the soak have any real or negative effect on the denim legs.

[ssheat]

No, it does not really. You will see a change in the roping, but if a hem is professionally done, you should have no problem at all.

[duck sauce]

if you hemmed it too much, it might get too short

[shakeitup]

Thanks for the help!

[salaami]

i'll just assume this is a ? about roping.technically speaking, if you hem them before any water exposure, assuming you are getting them chainstitched the roping should be a lil more serious, especially if the hem thread is unsanforized as well. but some places wont even hem them without a presoak(thankfully BiG isn't one of those places)since if you don't calculate the shrinkage correctly, you'll end up not wanting the jeans due to them being too short. i know what i'm doing, so i have mine hemmed raw...

What are some nice moccasins to wear with my 19cm Diors?

[anthonyoj]

what is the general consensus on how to size on the flat head bsp's?

[guitarinet]

i believe on selfedges website it says to size up one or two

[bill]

What do you guys think about a Naked & Famous world tour? I'm sure that I can easily meet the owner of the brand and I could propose him this idea.

[ssheat]

Size up one on this newer lot of BSPs.

I would be down for a leg in the tour depending on size, but I think the general sufu populous does not think much of n & f denim.

[salaami]

can someone please tell me what the fuck BSP(flathead) means. is this confidential info or something? or maybe no one knows buy kiya? i'd hate to PM him about something so trivial. but i'm getting pissed.

[bill]

I would be down for a leg in the tour depending on size, but I think the general sufu populous does not think much of n & f denim.

THAT'S WHY IS A GREAT IDEA! It would give the brand more visibility.

id like some slim or skinny jeans, initial size would be between 27 and 29

[guitarinet]

whats the difference between the samurai 610 and 710? besides the weight

[donkeykong123]

the 610 is made of texas cotton and has a lower rise

and it only comes in even sizes

[chantheman]

710 is slimmer in the leg

[Opie]

To be honest, N&F is one of the few threads i'm actually looking forward to check whenever i come in.

The chances to see some faded silk jeans? Hell yeah!

The chances they produced something along the lines of jeans with fishbone fibers in it? I'm in!

[youngluc]

okay, now i know that it is sometimes frowned upon to dry your denim after having washed it. well, i got bed bugs, and after spending hours researching these little bastards, i found out that i can just dry all of my clothes (without washing) and the temperatures, pending the dryer, will be high enough that it will kill anything living in my clothes. i've found bugs on walls and want to ensure that they didn't get into my jeans (samurai 710s, flathead 3100s, lee 101zs) and i'm so out on my denim game, etc - will drying these while they're already dry cause any shrinkage?

[maenterus]

1. change sheets after 2-3 weeks

2. disinfect your room and jeans

3. i've heard of cases where tumble drying has caused shrinkage

hope it helps

[Hendodo]

jeez dude ^^ if youve got bed bugs, theyre probably living in your matress. Get a new one..
