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

is there a way to increase/preserve the life of a paperpatch?

 

maybe wax it? did anyone try something like that in the past?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Yep, it is pretty common to oil/wax it. Leather care products like you would use for boots. And don't wash the jeans too hot!

 

Edit: oh you meant paperpatch..ok, never mind

Well, I dunno. I don't think think waxing it would help much. Would paper need wax/oil? Wabisabi, just let it desintegrate

ha ha 

 

made me just curious as lots of us do care about their leather patches.

Laminate it!

I just realized how much I love the fit of sc 1947, does anyone make a very similar cut in heavier denim? I'm thinking like 18oz+. The IH 1955 has much too high of a rise. Sams 510 is also quite different.

^I'm a sucker for Rogue Territory's shirt. Check out Bradls sample in the RT-thread.

So all this 66 hype has drawn my attention to Denime's 66. Looking around measurements are sort of all over the place. Which seller has the best measurements?

 

Here is the measurements for my Denime 66 in size 31. I bought them raw from Pants-shop-avenue so the first measurements should be raw measurements that I found on a note, the second is after a 40 degree wash. Measurements are in centimeters BiG style.

 

Waist (aligned): 43,5 - 41

Inseam: 95,5 - 86

Thigh: 29 - 27,5

Front rise: 29,5 - 28

Back rise: 38 - 36

Hem: 21,5 - 20,5

Thanks! I always forget about this company

I'm sure this has been addressed somewhere but something I have never been sure about over the years is the cause of leg twists. I have always assumed it was due to the way the fabric is woven but have never read or heard a definitive answer. Could they be caused by walking or the way one sits? Just curious. Thanks for the info!

No. You're correct. It's based on the weave of the fabric

How long does shipping from Ooe take? I haven't gotten a tracking number yet and I ordered like 2 days ago...

[QQandA]

Has anyone run into this problem? I just bought a pair of 710xx and had the store I purchased them from hem/chainstitch. I took a closer look and the bottom of the denim is split. How hard is this to fix? I'm not sure how the store I bought it from will respond, but it may not be worth it to ship back to JP if they request I front the shipping cost.

[givemefive]

That's unfortunate as you will need to pick the chainstitch out, fix the seam and re-hem.

[QQandA]

Thanks, and yes, unfortunate indeed. Well, that stinks, but the store is quite well known and I've bought from them many times in the past. I hope they'll take the lead on it and get it righted for me.

[QQandA]

Edit: Got it

If you live by a place that has a 43200G, just get them rehemmed. It'll be cheaper than returning to JP.

I had that happen to my earth model. Just get it rehemmed if your in the US.

Does anyone have any experience or threads.. on overdying?  I'm looking to overdye a pair of NEW jeans black but I want them impermanent like indigo is.

 

You know how Self Edge had those overdyed ironhearts that ended up fading really nicely?  Any ideas on how to do this in a home garage settings?

[Sigur Rós]

^ you can find some photos and a little info in the process involved in the Tender co thread. Though it's not extensive you could possibly pm rodeo bill, i'm sure he will help you out as they do alot of overdyes with woad, logwood etc.

Is there anywhere I can send my jeans to rectify a botched wash-job? Forgot to be mindful of the cycle and the result was rather disastrous. 

[Sigur Rós]

Do you mean overall shrinkage or actual damage?

[shoreman]

No, I mean disregarding all the basic instructions for washing raw denim and the end result being ridiculous looking streaks randomly dispersed throughout the pant. 

Edited April 15, 2015 by TresUnCool

[Maynard Friedman]

So how are you expecting someone to rectify that? Re-dying them?

[shoreman]

Yeah, I was thinking along those lines but, now that I see it put into words, that seems like a silly request/endeavour.

Relegated to yard/shop work.

What did you do exactly and are these jeans sufu-certified lol

Longshot, but maybe someone can identify these jeans based on this back pocket pic...? thanks.
