Slipped on the ice, now I have a white spot where the dye was scraped out. Any suggestions?

Enjoy the wear. If the indigo got scraped off there's nothing you can do to get it back on. You could put a patch over it if you want. That would be cool too.

I just picked up a pair of gap dry selvage jeans, and it says to wash them before I wear them. Do I need to?

I guess just soak them in cold water and let them air dry? How long should I soak them for?

[i5tioneyes]

if my 501s have not shrunk enough to my preference after the first hot soak of about 2.5 hours is it wise to soak it again? and if so for how long?

thank you

[lilodxd]

poopslush, you don't need to wash them before wearing. if you want to shrink them, then you should wash/soak. shrinking works best with a soak in hot water.

i5tioneyes, i was wondering the same thing but i figured it out. when i first got my 501xx, i washed once in hot water. i was ok with the fit, so i stuck with them for a month. then i washed them again in hot water and they shrank a bit more. so yes, soak again for probably just as long. wait for them to dry first.

Has anyone ever ordered from diabro.net? They have some iteresting pieces, but i don't know how good their service is...or even if i should trust them (authenticity, spam, etc.).

I know it sounds like a dumb inquiry, yet I would appreciate someone sharing their experience or their opinion on this site.

Thanks,

julian

and anyone have info on these: http://www.purebluejapan.jp/netshop/07ladys_stretch_slim/021069ow_ladys_stretch_slim_one/

what does it say for the description?

[PG2G]

Do they ship to the states though? Why not just get them from BiG? Out of your size?

no big has my size in stock but i think if i order from a jpn site they might be a little cheaper for me. but then again i dunno, after commission and all that they may end up costing the same as the ones sold at big or even a bit more. so im looking at all my options first before spending a ton of $ on denim.

$447.3034 currently before any fees/shipping. Normally people do 10% + shipping is $30 EMS. so add on another $74. So around $510. which is exactly the SAME price at BIG. The benefits of being able to try and return a pair of $510 jeans outweighs any monetary value you might save.

I have some alife 501xx's i soaked them for an hour in room tempature water and then hung them to dry, they shrank some, but I am looking for more, is the best way for me to do this hot water soak then a dryer? If so what dryer setting, and how much different will they look after this process then they do after one soak? thanks

[lilodxd]

^^ i answered a similar question above. if you want them to shrink more, just put them through another hot soak. use the dryer at your own discretion.

Hehe, I actually paid more for mine from japan than they would have costed from BiG. This was before BiG existed From my own personal experience, I don't ever plan on buying jeans that I can't tryon/return again. Besides, aren't those guys (2000db and parachutes) taking a break from that for a while?

ey, i just got some h&m original fit jeans from online and they're a bit tighter than i thought they'd be. is there a way i can stretch them out a little bit more besides just wearing them til they stretch enough?

[rale_injeans]

ive been wearing my APC hipsters for about 2.5 months, and im pretty pleased with how theyre coming along. the only thing is that the creases on the honeycombs are starting to rip... is that normal, and how do i prevent it?

[BTT]

are you starching?

[Franklin]

if i want to taper a pair of jeans and they have selvage...is it safe to taper them? or can i kiss those suckers good-bye?

[tweeds]

taper it from the inseam, franklin, leave the outseam alone.

[Franklin]

i was thinkin the same thing but i wanted to make sure that was possible. thanks tweeds

also, does 45 rpm on mercer street do tapering?

edit: if anyone knows of a recommended tailor for such situations in nyc that would be helpful aswell.

thanks
