      @Lucifer:

      (btw: the factories of Apple in China actually has quite good conditions, for chinese factories. I doubt that other manufacturers are better, or even close to it).

      Was in the news here not too long ago, condemning the poor working conditions of the employees… Hey I'm not naive: BB's probs isn't much better... For me it's all about how it looks... Of course I do understand that some of you actually need the smart part of the phone... I, however, just need to figure out how to put that Texas poker game back on my Storm...  😉

      Yeah, that news-segment went here too, about suicide rates and bad working conditions. The thing is, the suicide rate at the factory is actually  lower than in the rest of chinese society and infact lower than in all 50 US states, the documentarist just heard a huge number (huge factories) and did not think to compensate for size or check his numbers, was a huge debate about documentarist ethics afterwards. Interesting topic imo, I think decent working conditions is hugely important, and I think that one should avoid products where one knows that factory workers have a decent day-to-day life. I don't think that apple's factories in china are paragons of work ethics either, just not quite as bad as people have made them out to be.

      Seize the day and don't you cry.

            Mvb- phone is long gone but I don't see why it wouldn't work because it took a normal sim card.

            China manufacturing is a topic I don't really bother with anymore as the people that think they work in terrible conditions, under pay, etc etc just simply haven't been there. I've been to clothing manufacturing factories all over the world and china and Korea have some of the most looked after workers and most importantly happy workers.

              Ronald: my fav IH cut is the SEXIH07… But I disliked the unsanforised denim... So best solution for me is 634S, downsize 1, and taper from the knee...

              Now I just gotta find a good tailor...

              Contacted Denim Doctor UK… Going through with this...

              Leg opening will go from 8.6 to 8.2. Cost: 20 quid. Original hem re-attached, chainstitched. Sending out my pair this afternoon…  😃

                No more cuffing on this pair then.

                but on second note you ain't no cuff guy…as I recall

                  Definitely not… With the slightly tapered leg, I will love to see the slight drape... Will also fit better over my boots...

                  I'm really excited... Finally will have the PERFECT jeans...  🙂 634S à la mode de SEXIH07...  😉

                    I'm about speechless. I don't get it, but then there are many more things that I don't get, like how planes can fly or why huge boats don't sink…. LOL or space, think about that 😉

                      Slimmer leg opening: looks much better on my boots and OSBs plus I even have sneakers I can't wear now due to the jeans getting stuck under the sole (too wide)…

                      I just think a tapered leg looks a million times better (on me)... The standard straight leg looks brilliant on bigger guys (180 cm and +) though...

                        Should I now cry and weep…I've been 171½cm in my youth, now just a hint over 170...

                        If jeans get stuck under yer shoe, they're too long.  Obviously, how come you didn't think of that?

                        just pulling your leg...

                            I would be very interested to see how the DenimDoctor tapering thing turns out.
