    -Jack/Knife Outfitters Bespoke Denim

     Curious: what are the chinos that fit amazingly well? RRL contest or something else? BTW, this thread has me hooked on Jack/Knife Denim too. Liking the western-cut pockets, among other details. I'll have to find time to head to SF for a fitting. Great to hear they're planning women's...

    J. Peterman drives me crazy

     Yes, exactly. It is interesting and kind of nice to know, actually, that there is even a grain of long-lost truth in his history. I really loved reading the catalog when I was too young (and poor) to get my hands on any of the items, and by the time I saw anything in person any trace of...

    J. Peterman drives me crazy

    Don't do it. Even aside from the heavy-handed romantic marketing, I've seen a few J. Peterman things in person, and in my opinion they were noticeably lower quality than the better mall brands (J. Crew, etc.) Poor cut/fit, poor materials, and on top of that the attempted romantic/vintage...

    Official Sales Alert thread - sales, coupon and discount codes

    I purchased over the weekend and my card was charged, then I had no confirmation or shipping notification all week. I just received an email that the item I paid for was sold "out from under" me to someone in-store. Too bad they didn't figure this out untlil the charges (which were pending for...

    Official blake x RЯL officer chino contest

    Stanley, are yours the red selvedge line chinos? I remember you saying they stretched out a ton, more than 0.5"-1"? Been absent for awhile here, but I've worn mine almost every day since May 6. Gotta find a good time & place to take some pics. I got a pair of the red line in 29 from Blake's...

    The Defining 1990s Movie

    In terms of impact on world film it's much more of a defining work than 95% of the other films that have been mentioned in this thread. For me at least it's both THE seminal work of 90s asian cinema and probably one of the most influential movies made anywhere in the world during that decade...

    The Defining 1980s Movie

    ! What! ! Noone has mentioned "Big Trouble in Little China" This. Also, "Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon." Defining? I dunno, but try them together for an 80's magical martial arts double feature that will blow your mind.

    The Defining 1990s Movie

    Probably my favorite movie of the 1990's. Not sure I'd call it "defining," though, at least not where I spent the 90's...

    Official blake x RЯL officer chino contest

    anyone elses buttons coming undone? i have had to reinforce the thread because a few buttons were literally hanging on by just a single thread. maybe its just with the LE chino. also, since my chinos are slightly too big, i moved the buttons a quarter of an inch in order to bring in the waist...

    Official blake x RЯL officer chino contest

    Yeah, I wasn't sure they would stretch that much, not being very tight to begin with, but they definitely have. I hot soaked them once/machine dried them right when I got them and then also cold soaked them once (post tailoring). Hot soaking them only shrunk them a little if at all, but...

    Official blake x RЯL officer chino contest

    I am thinking about getting my pair hemmed. Any suggestions or recommendations? Did you also get them tapered? Well, I did them myself, and it took me a couple of tries to get the length where I wanted it. I thought about tapering, but I was afraid changing the leg on these might not work well...

    How difficult is it to tailor your own clothes?

    Right on. If you've used a newer sewing machine in the past, you'll probably find the old Singer very simple and easy. Other than the bobbin winding and threading diagrams, look for the page in the manual on how to properly adjust tension. There will be a drawing that shows correctly balanced...

    Finally got the hem right on these, and I'm on my fourth wear today. Haven't had time to shoot pics, but will try to get a couple asap.

    How difficult is it to tailor your own clothes?

    Cool, sounds like you're in business. The first machine I had was a Singer 15-91, which is straight stitch only and similar to what you have (except gear drive rather than belt and a different bobbin arrangement). A nice thing about straight stitch machines is that there is less to adjust...

    How difficult is it to tailor your own clothes?

    So on an impulse I picked up an old 1954 Singer sewing machine for $20. So it is definitely a model 66 like the ebay machine? (There are a number of Singers that look really similar from that era.) I've never owned that exact model, but I've used machines in the same general family. That's a...
