denime xx type & 66xx type 2 year contest

[dr.house]

to shrink them a bit more and get rid of the starch.

and I think I'll wash them every month or so

Are they softer now? What about indigo loss while washing them after only a few weeks...?

[pomata]

@almostnice: I washed them at 40°. About the sweater, I wash it at 30° (sorry I forgot about that message). I hope it won't shrink more or I'll have to sell...

@dr. house: they're still drying and they look harder than before.

indigo loss? I don't think it's a big deal, there's a lot

[beautiful_FrEaK]

so much shrinkage in the leg even after your initial soak?!

man...if that happens to me I can forget my macho cuffs or the nice double cuffs I rocking nowadays

[edmond]

hmmm my pair is ithink needs a soak.

my crotch is starting to itch everytime i wear mine haha

[Atzec]

is anyone else having trouble with the stitching already?

it started two or three weeks ago (after only 4 weeks of wear), when i had to do these reapirs:

4 days ago i did this:

and today:

i didn´t talk about it, yet, cause i hoped the ripped threads were individual cases, but it seems to get a regular problem for me after only 1.5 months. guess i´ll have to resew the whole jeans, if i want to finish the contest.

[dr.house]

I've seen your pics at myNudies 1st, but it's more terrible on the 2nd look. You should return this pair imo, seriously. Doesn't look like a bagatelle, and if you let the whole jean resew it wouldn't be the same and always a bothering compromise. It's a T5 problem, don't make it yours imo.

[amardeep]

that's really odd, that much stitching so early. mine are holding up great, but then again I don't do much else but sit and walk in them. maybe it's because you bike, hike, etc., unless it's never happened to any of your other jeans? but yeah I agree with dr. house, you should get in touch with fung@t5

[almostnice]

^^reminds me of some Skulls about 3 years ago,they seem to fall apart for no reason.kixs had a pair and wasnt very pleased to say it diplomatically...

anybody else is suffering from this?

[Atzec]

@drhouse: i wasn´t really planning to get them resewed, just was thinking that i´ll have (hand) repaired the whole pair in the end.

i had to do repairs on all of my cottonthread jeans, just not that early. don´t think that t5 can/will help me. i´ll see how it will evolve in the next weeks and then decide, wether to contact them or not.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I only see that they might send you some thread but not more.

They aren't responsible for it

...that's not the way I see it. A jean is made for hard wear, nothing else. Worst thing on a jean is bad quality, that's what makes me turn away from Nudie e.g.

[edmond]

i think that pair is just a lemon..

and i think it looks tight on you matt

I meant Take5 isn't responsible because they didn't manufactor the jeans.

But they have the better contact to Denime

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yesterday:

and a close-ups of the cuff ;-)

[Atzec]

^nice fit and whiskering. looking forward to the obligatory updates in a few weeks (from all of you).

[pomata]

how often do we HAVE to update?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

once each three months or so.

you you are covered

but I miss a lot of guys who haven't posted a single pic since their soaking pics

[Atzec]

i think that pair is just a lemon..

and i think it looks tight on you matt

they aren´t too tight at all. actually it´s the exact fit i was going for. when walking or standing there´s absolutely no extra stress on the seams (when cycling it´s there, of course...)

as i said before: i´ll see how it evolves in the future. think i´ve been quite active in these thus far.

about updates: once every three months is true.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Mine are for sure slimmer than yours and as I said I haven't got any problems with the stitching. You're surely more active than me

[dr.house]

...and mine are slimmer than yours :-) and all the therads are well, but I also don't do sports in them.

[almostnice]

looks like Atzec got a "monday" pair.doesnt matter how active you are,this shouldnt happen in such a short time.I suppose they either used the wrong thread or the sewingmachine wasnt adjusted properly.

As you bought them at T5,they are responsible to sort it out with Denime.

I would complain if I were you.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

...and mine are slimmer than yours :-) and all the therads are well, but I also don't do sports in them.

no way yours are slimmer than mine (if you ferering to me) you are a true 32 and I'm a true 34 and we both got a size 34

[Atzec]

ok, i sent an email to take 5 and asked for their opinion. i´ll keep you updated.

That's what I've said. T5 is responsible for their stuff. Dunno about japanese warranty rules, anyway Atzec, you've done alot for their contest and help them selling their jeans btw. No question for exchange imo, a jean should allow any kind of activity.

r u sure ?

Do that, crossing my fingerz for you.

[Atzec]

you´d all be happy, if i got an exchange pair, cause i´d lose my fades i already have, wouldn´t you??

hey salaam, what´s up? still waiting for your signup pics.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

then, you do not know your true waist size, Stefan

I'm not sure: did you gave them a wash or more soaks than me? Would explain it

[dr.house]

I know your size Tilmann, but I guess your Denimes fit a bit looser (not much). I've soaked mine 2 times (vintage method, no machine), one time HOT. And I guess I'll soak them again next time, I've got a feeling that it's good for their denim.

@Atzec: no Matthias, but it's sad to see those pics and I'm sure you're disappointed.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I still doubt you're a true 32

I soaked/handwashed the top-block yesterday. Gonna wear them tomorrow if they are dry again. It takes ages to get them dry in autumn

No, I'm a true 34" and wanna kill my balls...:eek: The towel trick works good, got my Sugar Canes dried after a day.
