    the lines in flex denim

    I can't remember when I started noticing that some denim looked different. 10 years ago? 20 years ago? Who knows, maybe 30. I'm an old guy. I started noticing that it didn't look right. I first thought it was because it was some lower quality process, but I couldn't equate that to price...

    Jeans - flat fell and french seam

    "Busted Seam: Contrary to what you might think, this seam actually offers a second line of defense against "busting." It gets its name from the way the two pieces of fabric are sewn together and then pressed open. The raw edges are finished with an overlock stitch, and the extra material allows...

    Jeans - flat fell and french seam

    What's another name for a "busted" seam? When I duckduck it I don't see much defining that use of busted.

    Jeans - flat fell and french seam

    Is "busted" the term I should be using? And is there a difference between felled and flat felled? Here's a pic comparing the two pairs. Regardless of the terminology - a sincere thank you for educating me on this- I find it interesting that these two pairs that are supposedly just different...

    Jeans - flat fell and french seam

    I'll enrich this with a bit of irrelevant background: I've been on an effort to lose a little weight and have been mildly successful. It's been about six months and I have lost about 10 lbs by simply cutting out all wheat and sugar. No pastas, no sandwiches, no sweets except fruit. It's not...

    Jeans - flat fell and french seam

    Comparing them they both have the same stapled-on labels, the same sewn in model number labels and the model numbers are exactly the same, just the size is marked differently. But interestingly I noticed that the seams are done differently between the two. I've never really paid attention to...

    Dress pants in 35" waist?

    For dress slacks, what brands besides Lands End offer a 35" waist?

    29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36, 38, 40 where's 35?

    From working at Levis, my manager had told me that the reason why 35 waists arent made is due to the fact that 35 waist size is too uncommon to produce. So maybe thats the reason why? I wonder what the most common size is? Whatever that really is I can't imagine why there would be a...

    29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36, 38, 40 where's 35?

    ...., but the way I see it, it's just motivation to lose some weight. You're right about that.

    29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36, 38, 40 where's 35?

    Last trip to the department stores looking for jeans I found that 34 waist is about 2" too tight, but 36" is about 2" too big. I have three or four pairs of jeans at home that are 34" and fit pretty well after they've been broken in a bit. But 35" waist would probably be ideal. Where can I...
