DO YOU ALSO LIKE REGGAE-DANCEHALL, MAYBE?

well,i have a soft spot for it...

b_F,the knees are getting fades first on all of my jeans,having kids helps a lot.but these are extreme,i worked a lot on my knees in Stuttgart,my overalls needs some patching soon,the right one is nearly through.

[pomata]

you work a lot on your knees Markus uh? lol

[almostnice]

my company pays me so badly,i have to afford my obsession somehow,ya know

[beautiful_FrEaK]

seeing your 'what are your jeans doing' posts, you work hard on your knees

[almostnice]

yeah,my throat still hurts.

[Atzec]

^did you buy a new cam from your dirty money? esp. the pics from stuttgart look like you´ve upgraded on photo equipment.

nice thread/contest there guys...

too bad t5 is giving no more discounts to the ppl.which still wanted to join in on this one a few weeks/months ago...

nice pair there markus.

knee fades are ridicoulos...so good!

[almostnice]

Cheers Finn & Atzec,esp. for updating.all my photos are done with a canon g10 since a half year ago,pics may look better because they are large.light conditions werent that good so i used mostly 400 ASA combined with slow shuttingspeed,which usually leads to grainier,blurrier pics.

[Atzec]

^ok, maybe the large pictures just duped me. anyways they were nice.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

My pair is finally back from the repair. Will wear them again and try to catch up with you guys.

Nice pics, Ed. Got some pics of the front?

[almostnice]

how much was it?

would love to see pics if you think its worth posting.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

cost me 8€. I think that's reasonable. He done a quite perfect job what is exactly what I'm used from him. You couldn't tell the difference when you see it. Maybe I post pics tomorrow. But I dunno what kind of thread he used and I forgot to ask. Most likely poly-thread

[almostnice]

i just searched back to see your pics again.my pair came undone at the same spot aswell,but it was right at the beginning so i repaired it immediality,no big deal.i have the suspense that the sewingmachines werent properly adjusted.to me it looks like there is a problem with the lower thread (Unterfaden),as the thread is coming undone for no apparent reason.i did also a small repair on the fly where is no tension/abrasion at all.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I noticed the same. the thread on the inside just breaks too easily and then the threads are loose on the outside of the pants. Have one more little loose thread just between crotch and fly. Gonna repair it as soon as I can to avoid more damage

[Atzec]

i i have the suspense that the sewingmachines werent properly adjusted.to me it looks like there is a problem with the lower thread (Unterfaden),as the thread is coming undone for no apparent reason.

100% true. unfortunately.

[amardeep]

all of my threads have been holding up fine; nothing repaired and nothing that looks like it will have to be repaired soon

luck of the draw

[erk]

has anyone contacted denime or anyone that can do anything about this? I'd think that they should know whats happening.

I love the way everyone's jeans are turning out, but this whole thread problem is outrageous.

[almostnice]

not sure if Denime ore take5 will take responsebility for this.first we need to know how many pairs are affected.my pair is allright apart from the small repairs i mentioned before,if its not going any further its ok for me.

Atzecs pair is out of order,the pics are enough evidence for a major failure,t5 or denime should replace it without any question incl. shipping.

gardenerfan,if you read this-what is t5 doing about this?

inactivity isnt good advertising but caring for customers is.

[dr.house]

^ I agree with almostnice but it IS the responsibility of Denime (T5) imo.

I've checked my pair again, no problems, all threads are well. Too bad that the there are more jawnz affected.

[almostnice]

the jeans where bought at T5,they have to sort it out with Denime.

[Atzec]

well, i don´t want to bring it up again, we talked about it too many times before.

i won´t get another pair (and at that point, i wouldn´t want to give my jeans away anyways) and sending them to hk to get them repaired (for free) and pay for shipping both ways isn´t really an option for me.

[amardeep]

5 months/ 153 days

[pomata]

^supernice fit.

washed already?

[amardeep]

nope, still are pretty clean and smell like peaches so no washes yet.

[almostnice]

peaches? ok...

after 2,5 weeks working in mine the smell like a lamppost bottom in some places.
