        I'd try some xylene. But maybe see how the paint reacts to it first like put some on a old rag, let it dry, then put it on there. Wears gloves, and plenty of ventilation. The stuff is explosive and causes cancer. When I used to screen print it took off many plastic based inks, and latex paint. It will likely remove the paint. You can spot treat the area that you treated with xylol/ xylene with your favorite soap and wash as usual.

                I'm trying to update our Wiki page which I think looks fine now but it's still saying that the 'article has several issues'  😞 Could anyone who's Wiki savvy have a look & let me know where we're going wrong  Also reference links. They have me stumped. HELPPPPP!

                Here's the link

                  It works fine for me but your link was missing a ")". Pretty cool.

                      WTF is wrong with double denim?

                      44 years ago (and I can still remember where I bought both the shirt and the jeans…..)

                          Shirt - Levis
                          Jeans - Wrangler

                          Shirt - An awful mans shop in Dorridge precinct - but did have a load of decent Levi's stuff in the early 70's
                          Jeans - Bull Ring Centre, Birmingham - just down the way from where I bought Oz

                                Not on the shirt and I can't actually remember about the Wranglers.  Though my Levi's 501's of that era were all Selvedge…

                                  Has anyone been  to Japan in August? Looking at climate diagrams it appears to be super hot. Is that true and is it a bearable dry heat or humid? Tokyo, Osama and Kyoto would be some of the destinations.

                                    I've been early September, it is humid AF!

                                    November weather is a lot nicer.

                                      HELLO  I NEED HELP ABOUT SIZING THE LEE 23OZ
                                      Im worried about the stretch…can the waist go up a few cm? up to sizes more?
                                      Im getting a size 30 but im more like a 31 or 32 waist.
                                      Is that impossible?
                                      thanks everyone!

                                        I would say it's possible for the denim to go up a size.  No idea on the real waist size of a brand new 30".  Assuming they are a legitimate 30 I would expect them to be uncomfortable in the waist for at least a few weeks to a month before the desired stretch is obtained.  Personally I'd be more concerned with what the thigh measurement is compared to your other jeans.  You want to be sure you can get your legs in them before even attempting to button up.

                                          Now I got the measures compared and thighs wont be a problem, Im more concerned about the waist on this 23oz hard denim type.
