Here is the underwhelming flyer.

Thanks - I'm on their mailing list but didn't get this...

They just sent it to us, not on their facebook yet, but we were told we could share it.

for some reason, i'm looking at shrink to fit Levi's. Isn't it really fucking annoying they're dirt cheap in the states, but shipping doubles the price?

erm, ebay? > http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR4.TRC1.A0.H0.Xshrink+to+fit+levis.TRS0&_nkw=shrink+to+fit+levis&_sacat=0

It was the "shipping doubles the price" bit I was on about.

2 years ago I bought some White Oak cone denim Norse Project jeans - which were great and everything. My girlfriend kindly washed them :'(

NP did a washed denim last year/early this year which looks exactly the same as mine now do (I can't find an image)

I was just wondering if they would have just washed a load of their old stock?

Also it's too late now but Goodhood do a yard sale once of twice a year and you can usually get some really nice denim for £20-60.

She had good reasons I'm sure.

I was just wondering if they would have just washed a load of their old stock?

quite likely. denim isn't that complicated, actually; after you wash it it's 'washed'.

read up on 'vintage fades' (there was a post on the denimhunters blog iirc), it's the new big thing.
then stop worrying and enjoy your jeans!

Anyone got any suggestions for Navy Chino Selvedge with a relaxed cut

thanks for this, went to it, was underwhelmed by the denim on display, felt like I got better value for money, and better quality jeans from the natural selection sample sale, but brought some shirts and some sweat shirts, so wasn't a total waste...

How do people store/hang their selvedge? I must have a dozen or more pairs in circulation and wardrobe space is at a premium.

Save your concern for woolen suits.

This is an issue for me because having them in a box/drawer makes the smell worse.

I think you have to hang them, but I've got my softer selvedge in the drawer the stiffer stuff is hung up - less than ideal. New house should have a dressing room, so hopefully resolve this issue.

Something along these lines.

Except in a dark room, with good ventilation. Blackout blinds and floor fan on a low speed usually work well.

Another good tip is to wrap the metal clips on the hangers with tape to make sure the pressure doesn't mark the denim.

T h e y a r e j e a n s. W e a r t h e m.

What about the ones not currently in circulation?

The struggle is real

Folded in into thirds and put inside wardrobe on shelf.

After they've been worn for the day I leave them out for a day to air (I should really hang them but I don't). It is sufficient.

the best treatment for selvedge jeans :

Buy a pair of nice jeans. Wear them everyday for three or four years.

Repeat.

Overnight storage is on the floor of the bedroom where they fall as I go to bed.

I bet you get shouted at.

I do.

Overwhelming reason the above posts as to why selvedge isn't fore as I have the sweatiest crotch in Christendom and it's hard enough washing normal jeans let alone letting slelvedge ones hang and air, fuck that shit!
