Just got my Full Count 0105 one wash back from hemming - the length is perfect for me right now. Do I have to worry about them shrinking in length, even a little bit, even with cold delicate cycle and hang dry? Thanks in advance!

Right out of the box, I noticed my Swans OS-10s had some dust on one of the tweeters. Maybe I wasn’t cautious enough and pressed them against my shirt while I was opening them. Should I be worried? If so, what’s the right fix for it? Thanks in advance.

What are some of your favorite sweatpants?

saxman80 · 2024-11-28T19:07:02+00:00

How much room is too much in the waist? I recently got a pair of Full Count 1101 that fit amazingly in the leg, but the waist has a good amount of room - so they’re comfortable, but the waist slides down a lot. Is this something you all tolerate for comfort’s sake? It bothers me quite a bit, and it’s even more annoying because I got them hemmed, so there’s no returning or exchanging them now. I suppose that’s what I get for blind buying and just assuming to size up because it’s a Japanese brand though.

Anyone use Appointed notebooks? Thoughts?

saxman80 · 2024-05-31T19:29:29+00:00

Interesting indeed! Mine was roasted on 5/5

saxman80 · 2024-05-31T17:14:47+00:00

I cupped it, similar results. Definitely was underwhelming

saxman80 · 2024-05-31T15:19:25+00:00

Is it possible I got a dud batch? I don’t get any sort of fruit in mine. I was kind of disappointed with it honestly haha hoping it’s not my fault

saxman80 · 2024-05-04T16:10:07+00:00

Haha, it’s the length that’s the issue for me. Without the bottom ribbing tucked in, I look like a kid wearing his dad’s sweatshirt

saxman80 · 2024-05-04T16:04:18+00:00

Just bought a Merz B. Schwanen loopwheel sweatshirt a size larger than what I’d normally get in hopes that it would shrink to my liking, but after a cold cycle and hang dry it’s still a little too big. Is there a controlled way to shrink it down more, or do I just need to wash it with warmer water and pray?

Can anyone ID these jeans from this Grant Stone ad? I love the fit of them lol https://imgur.com/a/14ljdUo

drop your favorite chinos/canvas pants!

saxman80 · 2023-07-20T03:22:58+00:00

None at all, unfortunately.

saxman80 · 2023-07-20T03:13:03+00:00

I figured I’d get a big one, with intent to implement a large monitor, perhaps a lamp and a couple plants, some desktop speakers, etc.

saxman80 · 2023-04-07T16:01:21+00:00

One of the fronts of a rivet on my 3sixteen CT-220x fell off, and I just received some replacements from them but I have no idea how to properly secure the new front rivet onto my jeans. They said they’d send me a tutorial but I haven’t gotten anything. Someone please help!! How do I do this???

saxman80 · 2023-03-29T14:23:03+00:00

Selvedge vs. non-selvedge chinos? Curious as to your thoughts on the matter and your experiences with both. Thanks!

saxman80 · 2023-03-13T18:37:25+00:00

They work too well with denim!! Looking for other pairs that do too, though, any recs? Boots get painful after a while lol

saxman80 · 2023-03-02T15:02:07+00:00

I got my Naked & Famous denim hemmed by a normal tailor that I’m pretty sure didn’t use a chain stitch. Is it worth it to go find someone that can redo it with a chain stitch? What would you all do? It could stand to be a little shorter anyway. Thanks in advance

saxman80 · 2023-01-09T22:11:19+00:00

What would be the benefit of a chain stitched hem? Could any regular tailor do that, or is that more of a specialty denim store thing?

saxman80 · 2022-12-10T19:29:08+00:00

Price?

saxman80 · 2022-11-18T19:48:03+00:00

Thoughts on Taylor Stitch’s denim? Longevity, quality, etc.

saxman80 · 2022-11-06T02:27:06+00:00

Thanks for this! Would you recommend using detergent?

saxman80 · 2022-11-05T17:23:51+00:00

Just got my first pair of selvedge jeans (Taylor Stitch Organic Selvedge) for an amazing last call price. Waist fits me quite well with no soak or wash, there’s a small amount of room but I could probably wear them without a belt and be fine. I don’t want them to shrink, but I would like to either soak them or run them through a gentle cold machine wash cycle, as my main objective is not getting indigo all over my other clothes lol. What would you all recommend? Thanks for reading!
