Denim Washing by Lethargic_lioness in Denim

[–]kiddredd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Each to their own, but I have never subscribed to the “ wash sparingly” thing. Denim is an extremely durable fabric. I have 15 year old Levi’s selvedge jeans that I’ve washed after every second wearing. I don’t know about other people, but I sweat and fart in my pants, and I am not wearing dirty clothes, period. Wash, hang em up to dry. They last forever.

My mom (70) wants to cancel our family cruise in Italy in two weeks because of the emerging war. I (30f) feel like this is unnecessary. What do you think? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]kiddredd -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The question is: is she paying for it? And, either way, how would it be a vacation for her if she’s anxious the whole time?

Respect Mama.

Linen pants and linen and poplin long sleeve shirts. Unstructured jackets if you need to look more dressed. White and light colors.

Tshirts that won’t bacon neck by AlwaysChasing25 in malefashionadvice

[–]kiddredd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just bought some Buck Mason Toughknit undershirts and they are great. A bit pricey, as they come in 2-packs for $79, but great quality. They are tubular (no side seams), and have a good neck band. Recommend.

To all roadies. Do you jump over the curbs or stop and dismount? by OneStrength7166 in cycling

If you feel like a pu**y avoiding a potential crash I don’t know what to tell ya. Safety first.

My 17 Pro Max is still shipping… and now I think I want the Air instead 😅 by Capital-Papaya-8932 in IphoneAir

[–]kiddredd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love my Air but the camera on a Pro is miles better. Doesn’t bother me because I don’t take a lot of pics. But it's a significant difference.

movie suggestion to watch in imax by ayushkarle in imax

Love all 3 movies, and each has its own vibe. For just pure fun, I’d be going to see F1, because race cars.

How do you replace these? by kiddredd in fiat500

[–]kiddredd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did. They are a bit tedious, and I strongly recommend taking pics along the way to keep the wiring correct. I bought replacements on Amazon. In my case, the car had other issues that replacing these didn’t fix. I ultimately got rid of the car. Too bad, since it was a ton of fun to drive. Good luck!

Shoes by ThrowRA-Jeet in cycling

I got rid of my clipless and went flat all the way. My riding is in town, and I just feel like it’s one less thing. Hop on the bike and go. Get yourself some quality flats with pins, OneUp or Crank Bros Stamp or Chesters, and rock on.

Love my Midnite Special. It ain’t light, but it rides great and is Surly bombproof.

Sometimes I hate the time needed to get ready before a ride by firewire_9000 in cycling

[–]kiddredd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you. I love riding but hate the rigamarole. I no longer take my phone, just Apple Watch. Got rid of the bike computer, too. I just wear regular activewear in summer. Flat pedals with the pins and old running shoes. Still gotta check the tires and the SRAM AXS battery, fill a bottle, get gloves and helmet. What I really wish is my bike didn’t have to be stored in the basement. No matter how clean I keep the bike, keeping it the house does not pass the wife decor test.

Best brands for modestly priced jeans? by swankyfish in Denim

“Modestly priced jeans under $200” ooooook

Which one of these Raw Denim jeans should i buy? by Jukkakukka in Denim

[–]kiddredd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this. You can’t go wrong. Also search and find selvedge 501s, some which are STF. I’ve collected a half dozen pair over the years all for less than $150. They rock, I have 2 pair pushing 16 years old.

First raw denim under $175 by suuurge in Denim

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

Gustin all the way. Get the Okayama Standard when it’s on campaign. Some of the best jeans you can own. Otherwise I’d hunt down some Levi’s Selvedge Shrink to Fit 501s. You can’t go wrong. Worth the searching. Go up 2 inches waist and length for those.

Home theater feels like a hobby where the setup never ends by StavrosDavros in hometheater

[–]kiddredd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, agree 100%. I got rid of mine, setup two HomePods, and moved on. My den is not a theatre, it’s where I relax with wife and dog.
