does SDA ship the US?

"The delivery of the commodity makes the Japanese country. < It does not dispatch to the foreign country."

...I think that means no, but I may be wrong, and you could always use a proxy service.

You only need to soak when your jeans are unsanforized...yours are sanforized, so as beatle said...just wear them.

You can never have too much sugarcane.

febreeze is gross...but if you stink, I'd imagine you'd want to do inside and out

[blm14]

True - but having purchased an okinawa, an SC40400N, an eternal 811, an oni shoai, two kicking mules, and a samurai BCIII in the past 6 months, it will take me 40 years to get any wear on anything LOL

[fre-co]

Don't buy any more, in fact sell a few pairs.

ya, that's a bit much...I did the same thing at first too...I would sell the KMW's if you can, skip buying the new SC's and, if possible, clone yourself.

[rome1]

too many jeans man, stop buying and start wearing!

You should soak before wear if your jeans are raw. Soaking will shrink jeeenz so that future washes will not displace your wear.

cold soak: i only do this to clean my jeans if i don't want to loose indigo and thus, my fadz. simply fill your tub with cold water, apply dash of dr. bronners and soak the jeeenz for a few minutes. remove, empty tub of grimy yellow water, rinse with cold water. the result are jeeenz that are clean and without loss of indigo.

hot soak: only time i do hot soak is if i want maximum shrinkage of my jeeenz. just a soak without agitation will not remove indigo.

soaking with agitation: better known as hard wash....i do this when i want to wash my jeeenz and dont care about indigo loss. agitation removes indigo and should only be done when one is satisfied with their fadz....agitation will remove indigo all over including high abrasion areas resulting in more contrasty fade. dont do this until you've reached satisfactory fade level.

there are many ways to the truth

wear hard

stay true

I know - but at the price its SO hard to resist (most of the jeans I've purchased for less than $100)

ya, that's a bit much...I did the same thing at first too...I would sell the KMW's if you can, skip buying the new SC's and, if possible, clone yourself.

I wish I could clone myself, for unrelated reasons.

Also I doubt I could sell any of them. I wear a size 36 which puts me about 12 standard deviations above the mean waist size for people who buy this stuff

[fre-co]

size 36 here, I'll have the oni's, eternals or sugarcanes off you.

You never know...there may be a lot more 36ers our there than you think! And where is it that you're shopping and getting stuff for less than $100???:confused:
