Random fashion thoughts - Part II (A New Hope)

How easy jeans are to clean is one of the only things I miss about wearing them.

My point wasn't that there aren't costs involved in what they're doing; it's whether something like this is worth doing in the first place. Even if a customer doesn't want to overdye something himself, there are lots of companies in the US who will professionally overdye something for you. Starting price can be as little as $10.

Side note perhaps, but does anyone have experience with Dye It Black? I've been meaning to drop a couple of things off with them, but not sure how effective the process will be.

Cannot wear jeans anymore or any slim bottoms for that matter. Need the fabric to drape freely. Then again lifting weights has also made jeans and slim bottoms look much worse on me than they used to.

How easy is it to replace knit sleeve cuffs on a leather jacket that have lost their elasticity? Also, how easy/advisable is it to replace a one-way zipper on a leather jacket with a two-way zipper?

1) Easy enough for a leather jacket specialist.
2) Very easy for a leather specialist, provided they have the zips.

Thanks. Would changing it to a 2-way zipper actually affect the intended fit/silhouette of the jacket?

I love wearing jeans, all other types of pants are inferior

Tropical virgin wool is the real mvp

And "dry wool" whatever the f that is (Yohji, CDG and the pw x snowman pants). Maybe it's the same? I dunno, but it's awesome.

No, not at all. It's a little more "dandy", which I know a lot of designers don't like, but no, it's just a personal preference.

I swear every single online shop carries the brand AMI now, I have no idea why. Looks like an overpriced J crew.

You just answered your own question

Dulcamara pants have such a great shape. Too bad they are sold out everywhere I look!

I have a feeling that when you say "jeans" you don't mean indigo denim straight leg pants.

Can see how it came across like that now. Anyway, its nothing to brag about as it just makes most clothes fit worse imo, and shopping a much bigger hassle.
