how can I repair my jeans? here's how they look on the inside

while there isn't a hole there yet, the weft yarns are very worn out.
i could darn it but it's quite a big area (10cmx5cm) so i dunno.
maybe?

the denim doctor has rave reviews on fuk if you want them fixed with minimal cosmetic changes, they do this technique where they sew another layer of thread to reinforce or patch a whole, while colour matching the thread. you could see if anyone offer's this in france?

[sknss]

yeah i've done that before but on much smaller areas. i guess i can do it too there

[Bobbin.Threadbare]

The best thing you can do to reinforce it would be to go back and forth over the area with a sewing machine. Personally I'd wait for an opening before I did anything.

Never really looked into the Denim Doctor but I clicked the link and saw the above video. I don't know where he got his doctorate but the things he's saying are the kinds of rubbish parroted on raw denim enthusiast forums. Just to be clear - selvedge denim isn't better quality. A selvedge line isn't a hallmark - you can get selvedge denim made by children in poor working environments for under a dollar, and non selvedge denim that costs hundreds pm. Selevedge denim isn't magic.

Also, he extols the virtues of a chain stitched hem with a clip of him sewing and showing off a hem that is NOT chain stitched.

do Rak stores (namely kind, ragtag, kanful, and used select shop) do combined shipping?

[mknro]

Unsuccessfully asked this elsewhere.

Any ideas where I can get tees similar to this one Robert Geller's wearing?

anyone know if this coat is waterproof/resistant? thanks

[ramseames]

Depending on what the weave is like it might be ok-good at resisting light rain.

Unless they mention dwr or some sort of membrane it's not going to be waterproof

does AA sell any tees that are cut regular/boxy (ie not slim)?? have gift card and need teeees. online customer service giving me a whole spectrum of answers :P

[bels]

What season did Margaret switch from the old cursive logo to the new sans serif one?

[mknro]

"this may be a dumb suggestion but geller tees perhaps?"

I checked, doesn't seem to have ever done sleeves like that.

[haz]

cav empt sizing? medium/large usually and the size chart seems like a medium would fit me, but i keep reading that you should size up.

[une_impasse]

does anyone have any idea what a size 16 men's jacket could be referring to? there's a listing on ebay I'm interested in and I'm 99% percent sure it's a men's jacket but the size is listed as 16. It's a Schott jacket, and I already own one with a similar tag but that one is sized at 44 so I am very confused.

Here's the listing in question:


edit: upon further inspection of the buttons rather than looking at it on my phone, it is a women's jacket and i wouldn't be caught DEAD wearing girl's clothes!!! ew!!!!!

[sabisabi]

do they make fake Visvim E-cats? a little sketched out right now

[starfox64]

im pretty sure there's fake visvim everything

Need advice on socks. What's a good, reasonably priced sock?

I'm looking for solid colour predominantly, rich colours most preferably, but also want black socks too.

Any suggestions?

[pk!]

Nevermind, I just bought $40 in Uniqlo socks and called it a day.

But now I'm on the hunt for interesting denim. Ideally I'm looking for a side pocket denim pant with a brown or green warp and a white weft, but I doubt it's around.

Anything in earth tones or really washed out / pale colours is interesting, has to be at the least slim though, wide trousers make me look ridiculous.

Do brands even do traditional denim with warps that aren't indigo?

[WussWayne]

How does one "analyse" a runway show etc? Like let's say Raf Simons releases a new runway show that is totally independent of his previous influences and prior acquired knowledge on him is "useless" in understanding what he was aiming for in that season ie you have no primer for the show. How do you tell what the hell is going on short of him telling us about it? Does it become fandom guesswork with wildly varying opinions?

[Syeknom]

[bels]

What size do Margaret models wear.

Also is it ethical to size down on Margaret

Also is it ethical to buy a suit where the jacket is xs but the trousers are s. X post to ethics clusterfuck thread

[stappard_]

i hope its ethical to size down, my suit is M but all my casual bits are L. big trousers sound like fun if you don't think they'll fall down all the time

[evilfriends]

i'm looking for black jeans that will stack well

http://i.imgur.com/RQM6Wbt.jpg

I actually like how those pants fit me but I'm searching for jeans that don't fit quite as skinny and stack well. I assume for stacking I would need a 36 inseam, in the picture I'm wearing 34!

Where should I start looking? Just pointing me in a direction would be plenty helpful!

[ramseames]

Pbj makes less skinny cuts in black and usually has long inseams

Nc-011 being the obvious one

[meatjacket]

I've got a leather jacket in a very vintage cut, it fits nicely but its boxy and i'd like for it to be slimmer at least in the arms

a) should i do it

b) is it possible

c) is it reasonable

d) should i just get another jacket along w this one
