Oh gotcha.

Cold soak: Removes any light dusting of dirt, excess indigo, barely shrinks denim, releases starch Hot soak: Removes slightly more dirt (certainly not to the level of an actual wash), excess indigo, shrinks denim, releases starch

Cause the online shop for US doesn't have any laces.
I happen to think the purple is really striking, they have them stock on a few models and they really add to them. Could always go with multiple and swap them out dependent on your mood. I remember reading in the PS thread that someone just went in and asked for laces and got a few free, not entirely sure if that's going to work though, the PS store in NYC should have laces for sale though.

What kind of soles, gelled or whatnot, can you put into a Clarks desert boot? Its not all that comfortable...just a regular sneaker sole like Dr. Scholls?

I wear a sneaker shoe size of 8.5
What would that translate into for Grenson shoes?

 

[jaac]

Do you mean insoles? I imagine sneaker insoles would fit, i just have some cheap leather ones i got for 5 quid.

Are DB's flat on the inside? If so then anything. If not and if you can't remove the insole I would just put one of those gel insoles without any type of arch.

Could somebody explain what these sizes mean? I'm confused, never seen this before.
It's in references to jeans.

 

[breakz]

That's Jean Shop, right? They have medium and long inseams. Forget what "r" stands for.

 

[Fluery]

Yeah from the Gilt Jean Shop sale.
Must all refer to the inseams - thanks.

Inseam Length (also noted on www.worldjeanshop.com)

Hi all, just have a quick question:

I'm looking at purchasing some APC new standard jeans, but can't find them to try on in Melbourne Australia so I have to purchase them online.

I'm a size 30/32 in preshrunk Levis 501's and a size 29/34 in Nudie Average Joes (Before washing).

What size APC's should I order?

Many thanks.

 

[ad20]

I'm new to raw denim

i plan on buying nudie average joe heavy dry

will they stretch in the time before washing?

how much will they shrink after washing, should I deliberately buy them one size too big?

 

[KitAkira]

Yes. No.
