Does anyone know what the deal is with that vertical line and how you prevent it? It completely ruins well faded denim for me and I notice it happens when you put em in the dryer sometimes. I guess it's from inseam stitch because it's always perfectly aligned with it.

hate it so much

[pyrotech]

Hey Stacks - Happens to me with 47 501s - last three pairs did it and I washed on gentle, no spin, insideout and hung them to dry. So it's not any of that. My opinion is it's in the dyeing process - not enough of it. I guess the only way to prevent it is to hand wash and hang dry. I agree with you, it ruins the jeans!

[devilish]

^I've found with cheap jeans that it happens from being creased up in the washing machine and then the dryer just exaggerates it. The darker the denim the worse it gets. I think I heard that's what the whole washing inside out thing was supposed to fix but could be mistaken. Hand washing and line drying seems to be the way to avoid it.

I hate it also, kiya actually said this in the iron heart thread.

Those look amazing..

Three things you can do to avoid those crease lines:

1. Turn the jeans inside out before you wash them

2. Use cold water

3. Remove them from the washer as soon as they're done

and i think it's best not to put your jawns in the dryer, but hang dry them, instead. Hope that helps.

Not just cheap jeans... the worst I had was my natural indigo SDA 103XX.

But I don't mind it. It's part of the vintage look for me. Take your jeans out before the spin cycle if you want to avoid it. I feel it happens less when the washing machine is full.

Whatever happens, you shouldn't really put your jeans in the dryer. IT sucks out the last sizing and resins from the warp yarns, and you'll lose some indigo along with it - and is a wasteful use of energy.

[sixsails]

how many washes or soaks will it take to get all shrinkage out of the S5000VX?

[xxhalcyonxx]

Just one soak in molten lava will do.

[daviddd]

Must spread rep before giving to pat! again.

DEEYUM IT.

[jwsach]

i like those dryer lines.... am i the only one? O_o

[thedoad]

I bought a used pair with one soak. I got more shrinkage out of One super hot soak and a washer wash as well. They stretch a lot.

EDIT: Messed up the quote. In ref. to 5000vx

Didn't turn out too bad, no nasty fades, not much loss of indigo, plus they've tightened up a bit, as they were a little too roomy. The denim is starting to show some nice colour variation too, I love 19oz Sams.

[chambo2008]

looks good man, keep up the good work

[beautiful_FrEaK]

right, no need to worry

[Nuk1]

Looking forward to the pics.

The Geisha denim on the Sat 510 looks tasty

[lance]

What is special about the Geisha denim, BF? It looks good in pics, but what makes it different from other Samurai denim?

I don't think that there's anything that makes it super special or unique, but it's a high quality, slubby 16 oz. denim with a pink selvage ID that you don't usually see on Samurai's men's jeans.

[mikecch]

Thos collab jeans look very nice jeans

I think the 16 oz would be perfect for HK's or Thailand's sometimes stuffy weather

[lance]

Thanks, commodorewheeleer, it does look like a great pair of Samurais to start out with.

I agree mikecch, 16 oz is just about perfect. I don't like light denim but anything much more than 16 or 17 oz is too heavy for FL.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

sry Lance I don't have experience with the Geisha denim (as it was only used on the the women jeans or was there already one collab using it? Delbombers?) but that's why it's tasty for me
