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

@piece keeper Carhartt WIP do a denim version of those pants and they now come in everything from slim to relaxed fit, however, I found that anything that I used to put in that pocket tended to fall our when you sit down, so be warned!

How exactly does UK shoe sizing compare to US sizing? Ive found 2 different answers and now I am really not sure which is true. I am a US size 8

Expand  

US is one size (digit) up from UK

Eg, US10 = UK9

This is standard in most if not all big brand footwear (Nike, Vans etc).

[MasonAlexander]

@UkeNo thank you! Looking to pick up a pair of Sanders Japan boots from ClutchCafe and they do all of their sizing in UK

Can anyone recommend a denim brand that has a "phone pocket"? Something like this (doesn't necessarily have to be the same location):

In doing a search all I found was people talking about phone fades in their pockets :/

Thanks in advance!

I really love they are offering the double knee selections but I prefer when the second layer runs all the way to the beltline instead of stopping at mid to upper thigh. I always suffer blowouts just above the second layer.

I want to start using natural dyes. I have bought some Indigo and Kakibishu and plan to make others with vegetables. 

When it comes to overdying does anyone know how the Kakishibu would work? I know it is used to coat century denim often, but I kind of want to try coating some old, slightly faded indigo jeans. 

Also any other natural dying projects that would work with a denim/workwear aesthetic?

Any recommendations for good quality slimmish-fit button-down shirts? I haven’t had one in years.

I like Norse Projects for these kinds of shirts and Universal Works. Not you usual Superdenim wears, but well made and decent materials.

Beams do great button downs.

[Maynard Friedman]

Cheers fellas!

Freemans Sporting Club either JP or US does some great fitted shirts.

[i_denim]

Is it white or Black?

[Maynard Friedman]

Both.

What are some quality sneaker brands for people with really wide feet? I am giving up on 70's Chucks, just can't make them work in any size. I have two new pairs in size 43 and 44 each. Vans always worked great but l'm really after the cap toe look of Chucks.

I did order a pair of Common Projects Tournament cap toes and they fit great. Unfortunately, they don't seem to produce this model anymore so other colors/sizes are impossible to find.

PF Flyers made in USA? I cant wear Cons - much too narrow. I've tried on PF and they could almost work for me sized up 1/2 - 1. Plus the GF says she loves them, she thinks they are much better looking than Cons

[Maynard Friedman]

I have both Japanese and Chinese-made PF Flyers and both are wider than Converse, which I can’t wear. Pro Keds are wider too, I also have some of those.

[Spiraltoy]

You could also try Spring court or Novesta.

[UkeNo]

John Lofgren sneakers, and the brands he's made for - TSPTR, Eastman, Self Edge, Standard and Strange.

They'd be worth looking at.

Are there selvedge denim climbing pants, presumably with a gusset crotch?

I hope not

[julian-wolf]

Where to Bay Area folks like to go to have their jeans hemmed? In particular, is there a strong preference between Standard & Strange and SESF? (Are there other viable options that I'm not aware of?) I seem to remember a page worth of comparison photos getting posted a bit ago, maybe in Denim Blunders, but couldn't find them after a quick search.

Never had a pair of jeans hemmed after purchase before, but the 39"+ inseam on these old Cane's has got me thinking it's probably time…

I had a pair of tellasons' hemmed years ago by them.  The hemming was great.

You could prolly climb in these, they have a crotch gusset, but I don't think they're selvedge...

Another vote for PF Flyers.

I don't know how you fitted into a pair of Common Projects if you have wide feet, they're a D width at best.

You are correct. The commonly purchased Achilles are narrow/slim. Common Projects Tournaments are wider. I got the Tournaments. They also do a 'BBall' which is inspired by Nike AF1 so real wide.

What has been the general experience with the hemming service from Denimio?

Sorry if this has been answered before - I found the question back in this thread but not any responses.

[JDelage]

Who makes a nice, dressy, denim shirt?

[Critical Observer]

^I think dressy & denim don't really jive but the ihsh-33 with tonal stitching comes as close as any and closer than most... Or perhaps the IHSH-218 non-fade superblack.

[Bobbo]

I think Japan Blue has made an Oxford shirt in denim earlier this year.
