question about the B&S thread:

- can i create a post announcing that i am 'in the market' for a particular item?
say, AE park aves black size 9 ?
if not, would there be a more appropriate venue to do so?

- also, what does 'bump' mean?

thx

--sure, people post 'WTB' ads: Want to Buy

--bumping a thread is to make a (usually pointless) post to bring it to the top of the thread list. Nothing wrong with a bump or two, but tolerance for them decreases like a negative exponential function.

Couple raw denim questions:

been wearing my matchsticks a couple weeks now, but while at a BBQ with some friends I got a drop of BBQ sauce on it which I only noticed later. I couldn't scrape it off so I used a little cold water to rub it off, of course later I remembered this was raw denim, and now there's a little discoloration. The spot is tiny and inconsequential really, but it got me thinking about contact with any water, like rain. The climate in the Pacific NW is a little more wet than the amazon rainforest, does this mean I can't wear raw denim when it's raining for fear of unevenly setting the indigo dye?

Secondly, when I do wash these, under what circumstances should I do it? The jeans could be a little more snug, but I'd also like the inseams to not get any shorter.

chronoaug · Jun 28, 2007

hot soak and tug on the inseams while wet to preserve length or even make em' longer. You don't lose a lot of indigo when you soak if you don't agitate them while soaking. Don't worry about rain, it's not going to do anything.

+1 to the above except I would never hot soak jeans unless they were too baggy.

I got completely soaked in my APCs when they were raw, and had to wear them home for 3 hours in the car with the heat blasting, and that set the creases pretty well but didn't fade them a whole lot. My legs and boxers were a bit blue though.

Eason · Jun 28, 2007

Well, they are a little baggy, I could definitely have sized down to a 30 or 31 instead of 32.

So if I understand correctly, after the first soak/wash the dye will be pretty much set, and they wont fade anymore?

Also, I'm guessing after the soak they should be hung and drip-dried?

They'll still fade. Indigo is going to be constantly removed by the denim rubbing against itself and whatever items you rub up against.

Ah, so that's how you get blue-balls. *rimshot*

Can anyone give me the model names of some Puma sneakers that come in high-top?

I'm thinking of one in particular that came out recently, kind of white or off-white, may have had some embossing or etching on the leather, and with a velcro strap and speed-lacers above the ankle.

Any suggestions for a raincoat that can be rocked dressy or casual. I was thinking about trying to nab up a members only jacket, but that is slightly cliche. I thought I'd see if anyone else had any insight. It has rained 17 straight days w/ no end in sight its either stay inside or get soaked.

thanks in advance.

I saw a pair of jeans that I'm interested in. They're labeled as selvedge but I'm not sure if they're raw.

What do you guys think?

robbie · Jun 29, 2007

they look raw, in my (limited) experience if they are selvage they're probably going to be raw too.
