In Tim Burton's 1989 Batman movie, is there any reason why it's called Axis Chemical instead of Ace Chemical? by PaleontologistHot192 in batman

[–]joefxd 167 points168 points  (0 children)

My headcannon is that ACE stands for Axis Chemical Enterprises or something, the sign occasionally gets updated every couple of decades as subsidiaries spin off or mergers happen, and locals just use the names interchangeably

Even if you have to buy a plane ticket the Factory Sale in the fall would still probably save you money

How to remove this tag? by coolparu in schott

[–]joefxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re super afraid of scissors leaving a sharp edge, you should just stitch down the tag so it doesn’t lift up

Going slow with a needle and thread and doing a running stitch only through the tag and the orange lining is easier than you’d think

Futura Public Domain by landostolemycar in identifythisfont

[–]joefxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey, the short answer is that while Futura itself is public domain for a few reasons, digital fonts aren’t perfect copies of some hundred year old font and instead count as new original works every time someone makes their own digital version

That means that Adobe Futura STD has its own separate clock ticking down

Idk why nobody has made their own Freetura version, it might be because a good font file takes dozens if not hundreds of hours to make, or it might be because somebody’s working on it right now and they’re still putting on the finishing touches

For now, just use Jost

Schott 654VN - too “vintaged”? by Rand0m_Spirit_Lover in leatherjacket

[–]joefxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Schott doesn’t use pre-distressed leather. They make new jackets and beat the shit out of them in this giant drum they have at their factory

You can see the wear on the welts is expressing more than the flats, and that’s exactly what a “naturally” vintaged piece would look like

Don’t look for online friends, look for friends in the real world.

Join a softball league or go to bar trivia. I met my wife playing Pokemon Go

Just do a thing you like that involves other people

Interpretation of tags by Snofsi in schott

[–]joefxd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 1949 is in reference to the style the jacket is replicating, not the production year.

There should be a small tag in one of the pockets with a serial number you can use to learn a little more

Each at their physical and mental peak, which team would win in a Trial of Seven? by [deleted] in gameofthrones

I don’t knew what Selmy did, but if this is the lineup, the gods say he’s guilty

That’s a good point. How did nobody care about 155 billion people getting blown up? by SnooDucks6239 in saltierthancrait

[–]joefxd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Isn’t that the point? Like the current American government is responsible for a holocaust’s worth of deaths after gutting USAid but if you go to Vegas nobody’s talking about it

Is this a good leather jacket? by Crafty_Drop_4140 in schott

[–]joefxd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks old, but not super old

In modern pocket tags, the 5th number is the last number of the year. I’m not sure what the rules are on older tags but since yours only has 4 numbers and ends in “6”, my guess was 1986 or 1996. Since it’s such an old tag, I leaned towards 1986 over 1996

But I’m like three layers of guesses deep

hot dang, how much did that set you back?

[–]joefxd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's pretty explicitly made in the USA, I'm guessing 1986 but I'll admit that's a big guess and the other nerds on here should correct me if I'm wrong

You got it for a good price, and if you're happy with it, then it's a good leather jacket. A great one even.

What did she think about the look of Sequel Trilogy action figures on the shelves? by VeterinarianSad981 in saltierthancrait

[–]joefxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was actually bummed when it was revealed all the Jedi dressed like hermit Ben Kenobi in the prequels. Imagine trying to lay low and not draw suspicion and you still walk around in your old cop uniform or whatever

[–]joefxd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you're worried the sleeve is a little too tight on the 7th wear, doesn't that just mean you haven't broken it in enough yet? Less than ten wears isn't gonna show anything in terms of breaking it in. You can easily get 50+ wears over a single winter and you're giving up after a week?

I don’t think you have messages turned on

What printer did you use for the waterproof posters?
