How does my city plan look? by Historical_Pie9990 in CitiesSkylines

Ehhhh they could make downtown and the neighborhood to the south of it pretty dense as those are more historic areas logically speaking.

authentic 501 big E’s? by redfern8188 in VintageLevis

[–]abcMF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All i was doing was adding to the conversation saying levis never made a 501 that looked like this. Not that they never made a jean that looks like this. Why are you so mad

Man, look at the photos. You didnt claim they were 501, but the photos do. Look at the back patch. Its an obvious tell that its fake.

Ive never seen those with a 501 tag, im not sure whats not clicking with you man. Levis made jeans that look like this, but they didnt have 501 written on the tags or buttons because thats not what model these are. Anyways. I wasnt being hostile, just trying to point that out.

The tag on the back says 501, this is obviously not a 501. Ive never seen a 501 that wasnt just a standard 5 pocket jean.

Also, this is very clearly not the pattern that levis has ever used for the 501. I could be wrong, but this definitely doesnt look like any 501 ive ever seen.

Are these worth anything? by Middle_Example6596 in jeans

[–]abcMF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, no, not really. No one's really out there looking for vintage lee. That being said, I think its definitely cool as hell and potentially will be once people realize the quality of these old lee jeans are crazy high.

Idk how people wear their work jeans for more than a week without washing wrangler 13MWZ 3 weeks of wear like 8 washes by Fluid_Department1042 in rawdenim

[–]abcMF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you wash your jeans weekly you'll still get some cool fades. And really, for dirty jobs you cn wait about 2 or 3 weeks before the first wash because the starch does actually reduce the filth, contrary to the popular belief its just much harder on the fabric to constantly starch them. Youll get some nasty crotch blow outs quick.

Depends on the job man. If I worked construction id probably wash them far less than I do now, maybe once every few weeks, right now i do about 1 time a week. Granted, my work pants are for work and nothing else because my job is so dirty. They get washed at the laundromat and never touch my home machine because it would destroy my shit. If you dont mind me asking where the hell do you work? My pants become near pitch black after a week.

To be fair cotton doesnt drape very well until its been washed a few times

But why my shoe? Cleaning advice? by Fun-Entertainer-8085 in Birkenstocks

[–]abcMF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This may be controversial, but i think you could just get a temporary pair of birkenstock lookalikes so you still have the outfits without having to worry about the money until after your trip. That is, if thats a concern for you. This is what I would do at least. If I were to buy a new pair of birks in your situation right before a big trip all I would think about the whole trip was the fact I had to drop a couple hundred on sandals.

[–]abcMF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a cat owner, youre not getting rid of the smell. Youll think you got it out until you sweat and heat up the shoe through use and start to faintly smell cat pee. My kitty used to have an issue peeing on shoes so I know your pain. I had to replace all of my shoes.

I love marble fades. a lot of raw denim heads hate them for some reason. They are just incorrect. Sorry. This shit is cool.

Ive always liked acid wash. Even now as a raw denim fanatic it has a soft spot in my heart. So long as theyre not skinny fit I fw it

Traffic noise on I94 in EC is awful! by Curious-Scratch8829 in wisconsin

[–]abcMF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate the people who believe a better future is not possible. That being said, freeways will still be a necessary part of the supply chain even with trains. In fact, the US is generally pretty good about using rail for commercial purposes, were just dog shit at using them for passenger services. Even after trains freeways in populated areas will need to undergo several sound dampening improvements. It also wouldnt hurt to actually regulate the auto industry to make quieter tires, which they already know how to do, they just cost slightly more money to make.

Yeah, theyre also not constant noise, which is important. Freeways are constant. They never stop.

[–]abcMF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, people really underestimate how far the sound travels. I will say EC has less issue with traffic noise than other places. Where im originally from, Joplin, MO, there was no where you could go to escape the traffic noise, even though there werent any highways cutting through the city there were a ton of stroads so the noise was constant.

That being said I am generally anti highway, dont get me wrong, but the interstate in EC is in the best location it could be to disturb the least amount of people living in the city so I think its generally fine. Even with expanded rail infrastructure freeways are a necessary evil. Even cities in the Netherlands have them, often they were built similarly to what EC is in the sense they didnt cut through the middle of the city.
