Any other input on this one guys?

just go to BIG and SENY and tell them your criteria. im sure they have something to fit your budget and style. if not APCs it is

quick question, so I'm planning on getting my first pair of nice boots, probably a pair of red wing chukkas. I was wondering how they run as far as sizing goes? I can wear anything from a 10 to 11 depending one shoe brand. should I just find one of those feet sizing dealies they have at a lot of shoe stores or is there a quick and dirty way to approximate my actual shoe size?

[1shoeaddict]

who makes some nice black denims?

[stabliu]

thats a pretty vague question but my vote goes to IH, imperials or pbjs.

I've seen a few really nice pairs of Flat Head 4001BK's here on SuFu and one pair in person as well. Flat Head always comes through.

Do you have a Uniqlo near you? Their 67 selvage slim fit is terrific value for money and to my mind wears in better than APC.

^I agree paul, but i find that the cut is choking my nuts if i buy it as slim as i want.

hey guys, i have a quick question on hand washing (since i always used to just machine wash)

anyways, do i just use my hands and kind of crimp the jeans together to take out the dirt and stuff? pretty much what is the best and safest way to get caked in dirt and grime out of the jeans

[chantheman]

just rub the jeans against itself and the dirt will come off. that or rub the jeans with your hands to get the dirt off

Is Ellen Degeneres A Denimhead? She Be Lurking On This Forum?

[denimdestroyedmylife]

didnt find anything about getting out paint from denim encyclopedia

anyone know the best way to remove water-based paint from denim?

hey i was just stalking yr old posts and saw this one

i've had luck with isopropyl alcohol (haven't used it on jeans but it worked great on various other dyed fabrics)

and i hear hairspray works (on account of the alcohol, i would guess)

vodka's worth a... try (if i were the type to take advantage of clever wordplay i'd have said "shot" but i am above those sophomoric games)

What's the rules for advertising jeans for sale on superdenim? I see some people mention jeans for sale in the thread for the brand they're selling. Sometimes they get jumped on and told to keep it in the supermarket, sometimes no one seems to care. I've got three pair of jeans I want to part with, and want to make sure I sell them as quickly as possible without stepping on any toes. Thanks!

should i apply and scrap it off if i use any of those? how did you go about removing the paint without damaging the fabric?

[Guest wockawockawocka]

Grabbed a pair of Onis - Black ones.

So I gave them a soak and after drying it looked like they had been starched. Shiny, etc.

So i tossed them in the washer let them soak again, dried - in hopes that the "starch" would go away but it didn't. Throughout the denim is weird starchy marks on the jeans and now little white designs going on. It looks like when you sweat on a black baseball cap - that bleed through.

WTF?

what is this and how do i get my BLACK jeans back?

thanks-

I've had this on my work lees; I've used white spirit, or alcohol, just spot clean with a cotton bud or a brush if necessary. If it's emulsion paint you can simply wet the area and leave washing up liquid on the spot, that often lift it. If I've used white spirit etc I then spot wash that spot with laundry soap (even rubbing with household soap would probably work) and rinse the area. You might be left with a small pale patch, but once the jeans are worn in, they add to the character.

[PWNED]

Alright I got some paint on my skulls, and its completly dry Does anyone know how to remove paint easily on jeans with out destroying the color?

[jwsach]

just dont.... same thing happened to me and it turned out worse when i tried to scrub it out because then the indigo rubbed off in those specific places.... i guess it depends on the kind of paint to... I am talking about latex paint but it could be different for water or oil based......

[chambo2008]

haha i got matt paint on my skulls and i got gloss on my samurai's unless you were to use some sort of paint remover or brush cleaner straight away it's gonna stay their for a while

mine is still their .... 5 months onwards

[PWNED]

Ohh dam, this is bad, alright so there is no hope thanks for letting me know, at least did pick at it!

[Christmas In A Submarine.]

cany anyone suggest a black pair of jeans with a 55-ish style cut?

(Something for those of us with thighs, but who also enjoy not having an enormous leg opening?)

[deleted20333]

i bought a pair of dior 19cm chinos awhile back and they were pretty stretched out from previous owner. I was wondering if i hot soak them, will they shrink back to how they were originally?

What kind of water resistant cardboard does Levi's use on the STF?

[alv407]

Does anyone think it would be a good idea to post a new thread w/ relevant blogs, U.S. shops, JP. shops, etc .... w/ a short description.

That way pics, info, & members blogs can be readily avail. Any thoughts or critiques welcome. Thanks

[chambo2008]

pretty sure their is a thread called denim shops around the world

[alv407]

Thanks Chambo haven't look it up yet. What I thought would be more geared towards JP blogs, & member blogs or any other useful info, I figured it would make info more avail. There are so many blogs which are very useful & impressive. And I'm sure if we combine our powers we can have a extensive threard chop full o' info. ; ) Just a thought I'd kick around.

[chambo2008]

yea sounds like a good idea

[kalpa1103]

well. dunno where to ask, but i guess its related to denim.

1. looking for a high-quality belt that doesnt have a bulge that tanner belt does when wearing. 1.5 witdth is good.

2. what boots go well with jeans that have 7~7.2 leg opening. dont plan to do megastacking, but rather perfer the extra inseam can cover the upper part of the boots. ps. boots can endure snow...

thanks

[Mr HaGa]

1. Sugarcane Garrison belt? Pretty happy with mine, no bulge, pretty nice and soft leather...

2. Alden Indies or Roy boots might might work...
