        Does having the belt loops sown into the waist band restrict the amount of waist stretch? I've got five pairs of IH jeans, four without(634s, 9634z, XHS) one with (SR), the ones without have all stretched out no problem the one with seems to be much more resistant to stretch, or is it just the SR denim that doesn't give so much perhaps?

              Hoping to be in the UK later this month and would like to drop by some good vintage flea market. Could anyone recommend any place? Doesn't have to be in London.

                  This is the obvious choice:

                  You could also go to Camden:
                  http://camdenlock.net/

                  Bristol has this place (smaller):

                    Hi,

                    Bit of a long shot but I will probably be looking for a part time marketing/brand/design person in the nearish future (IT/tech sector/ SW UK)….

                    PMs welcomed.

                    Thanks.

                      I wear khakis to work most days (casual Friday=denim).  I also ride a Harley most days (rain=truck).  I need some rugged pants that I can wear on the bike and in the office.  Any ideas guys?

                              Chnanon, this website could be a good resource for you: http://www.marketpeople.org

                              It's created by PaulT, the LVC guru from SuFu. Check out this vintage trader at Spitalfields Market in East London on Thursdays: www.marketpeople.org/category/spitalfields/  (David White)

                              There is also the Vintage Showroom in Covent Garden, London. It's a shop rather than a flea market and is pricey but could be of interest to you if you're browsing.

                              Hope this helps and that you have a good time in the UK.

                                      Probably the most noob question you guys will ever see, read or hear…but after you wash denim, wouldn't the creases go away just leaving the fades? Or will the creases always be there/set, even after wash after wearing them for months? I was just wondering if washing after 3-5 months or so, the fades will be there, but after wearing a few more months, the creases will change, thus getting different fades.

                                      I don't know, maybe I'm thinking about it too much 😠

                                        Believe me, that is a PHD level question compared to some I get asked.    If the creases are well set, they will not move when you wash them.  For people who want well defined combs and whiskers, setting the creases is the primary reason they delay the first wash for as long as possible…

                                          The creases will set back in easy enough after a wash - particularly if you forego a machine wash and do it by hand. You may or may not get super sharp creases (and thus high contrast fades) if you wash them after three months but this depends as much on the denim and the cut of the jeans. As long as you have eliminated all the shrinkage from the jeans before starting to wear them, your creases will not shift.

                                          People are happy to help around these parts so don't worry. Most would advise you not to think too much. They are "just jeans" after all.
