      have always been curious… do all cotton tshirts/shirts shrink upon the first wash/soak(hot?) ?

        It's usually the dryer that does it but if they're not pre-shrunk they are bound to shrink a little

          Even pre-shrunk tees will shrink a little bit over time and multiple wash/dry/wear cycles, it's just the way tree shirts are.

                    This afternoon, I took most of jeans to the beach and dumped them in the ocean for a good soak. Here are some pix and a video. The water was freaking cold, but after a while I did not feel any pain and actually had a great time in the water.

                    The almighty 634SR that Haraki overdyed for me

                    634XHS vs Samurai 24oz (no contest, but nice pic!)

                    Not sure what these are, but I like the sand on denim texture

                    Another shot of the OD'd SR's

                    Nice patch, nice pants, great light, what more does one want from life?

                    and the video will be ready in 29 minutes, so I'll post it in a separate post

                      Hey Mr. Administrator,

                      this post wasnt a "care for your denim" post but rather a "denim poetry / art / lifestyle" post!

                      I almost would be pretentious enough to call it a denim haiku post…

                                    about 10 and my IH27 shirt, which I LOVE.

                                    There is a number (too many in fact) that I dont wear because I spend most of my time in the 634XHS and when I dont wear this one, I wear the 24oz dark blue PBJ's. I used to wear the SR's but these have been relegated to the bottom of the pile of active pants.

                                    Those I do not wear at all are the light weight pants (the Evisu x Sugarcane or the lightweight PBJ's) and the 634S's. I wish there were more legs or I could change during the day because I love those S's and even the light PBJ's (incredible texture and color, I'd love a slubby IH model one of these days)… Also, I've gained a size and some since 2010 and some of my 31's are too tight. Maybe this Summer when the heavy heavy ones are too hot... and when I've regained some thinness...

                                        just wondering do you guys do anything to the leather patch? oil it or leave it? what oil? mink oil? some how after soaking the 666S, the leather patch feels so stiff and rough now. compared it with my 634S, totally different.

                                        is it because the patch was soaked in hot water so it's dry? then we gotta oil it and all?

                                        sorry if this was asked before or it sound stupid to any of you. I never had issues with levis jeans cos they weren't leather. hope you guys can understand. 🙂

                                          put some Leather oil to your patch if it feel dry.. And leave as it is.. I put mine whenever i saw the leather dry, especially after warmwater soak..

                                            no wonder! I soaked mine with pretty hot water. so use what kinda oil? mink oil? there's also obernauf oil  and etc right? I'm confused with the oil thing. which is good for our leather patch?
