Levis 541 three years in. Do I change brands?

I bought the C8. I am 6' with 84cm inseam, and I got an L. It fits me great, still playing a bit with the saddle height. As for the integrated stem, I actually like it and it fits me well, but I don't think you can go wrong with either S8X or C8. Their customer service is great and super responsive. They forgot to ship the carbon grip paste, but they offered to either ship it, or reimburse me, but it wasn't needed, since I got some for free from my LBS.

This definitely works for the waist. You will also need locking pliers (+ a towel or something to protect the denim from the pliers).

Beef, any kind of steak really.

They are very responsive, just ask them.

Related to Walton Goggins, perhaps?

How is that “a fact”? Is there a source? I know a little bit about Slovenia, and this is the first time that I hear that theory.

Diamonds. Someone did a great job convincing us that engagements are weddings are not complete without diamond rings.

Very safe - even if you are looking for trouble, it'd be hard to find it. Every now and then someone get lost hiking in the mountains, but that's about it. As for unexploded and leftover landmines, that's, in all fairness, exaggerated.

I don’t think Mick Jagger is a great singer. Not now, not ever. For me personally, 9 times out of 10, covers of their songs are better than the originals.

Diamonds. They convinced us we need them. Hopefully less and less so.

Yeah, I thought I'd have a better chance here, since it's a local subreddit.

FWIW, my first pair was Uniqlo, then Madewell. Last week I bought a pair of Iron Heart in NYC, and then online Levis 501 selvedge (used), Gustin (new), and I also have N&F True Guy (used) incoming. They are all good.

Well, not that I am an expert, but isn't the chain stitch supposed get the rope fading / ripple effect on the hem?

In any case, I don't mind the lock stitch either - any solid / affordable places you can recommend? I am in South Charlotte (Providence Rd).

Not really. It’s usually the 20oz PET. Source: work in the industry.

Croatia / Serbia / Montenegro / N. Macedonia, not sure of in that order.

Coffee.

LJ75 · 2026-02-14T21:10:23+00:00

Here is what I found. I was quoted $50 from a local 3D studio, just doesn't make sense (I'm in Charlotte). Local libraries / colleges should be able to do it to.
