A phone call to a decent local optician will get you your anser.  I live in a tiny backwater of a town and we have 3 here that will do it….

[EMF]Departure from inward OE to BE Adpis :

Anyone able to translate this (Indonesia mail term)?.. Just the BE Adpis bit… Thanks in advance...

[Blackheart]

BE is for Belgium so whatever it is, it's on it's way to you.

Heh… It says:

Inward OE = of course "inward office of exchange"… Just wondering whether BE Adpis means it's being presented to the custom's control organ or released to being delivered tomorrow... Pretty exciting nonetheless

Oh the age old question of what an "Adpis" is….

I googled and saw " 'Adpis' is the indonesian word for 'Advice' "

So, I guess they are asking some Belgians for advice.

[Seul]

It's actually the Dutch word for Advies (as they can't pronounce the letter P)… I'm hoping they're not asking any advice to the Dutchies, they'd probably pour peanutsauce all over my package...

[Blackheart]

Still sounds like it's on it's way to you which is the best part.

Dude's who wear shorts: the heat's been killer this summer and I need an alternative to denim and chino's. Without dick riding, can you guys recommend me some options? (I'd prefer that they not be #menswear superslim/short.)

[bagley920]

I'm gonna stay away from ^ for a sec….

Chop a pair of 803 or 814 they make great shorts just upsize them

[charchar]

Hey guys, just finished air drying my 666s and I dried them hanging from the hem. Is that a bad thing? Did I ruin them by hanging from the hem? It looks like it stretched a little from where the hanger is, but I would imagine this would happen wherever you hang them from.

[scroogen]

You didn't ruin them.  They may have stretched a bit, but just wear them!  I always hang my pants (and other things) from the heaviest part.  If you want to avoid stretching your inseam hang from the top block

Yeah, I dont really know why I hung them from the hem. I wasn't thinking right cause I thought it'd dry faster lol  yeah, total dumbass, overthought moment haha. But I looked at the hem and it didn't seem to really have stretched in one particular area. Maybe very minimal but not really noticeable. I've read people hang from the hem after a wash or soakand some frown upon it. I just want to make sure I didn't ruin the jean as a whole :-\

[scroogen]

I think the only thing that will ruin them as a whole is if you set them on fire.  I'm sure your pair will survive the torture of being hung upside down 

[lololol]

Just machine washed my jeans and the washing machine is now stained with some indigo. Any idea how to remove the stains? And will it transfer on to other clothes?

[FurattoHeddo]

^You can remove that easily by rubbing the stains with a damp/wet cloth …

[DougNg]

Or you can just run it again with no clothes in there

[lololol]

Tried both your methods but didnt manage to remove all of it. How else?

[Megatron1505]

In the UK we have something called Calgon, which is a wash tablet that removes limescale from the washing machine. I find that if you run a hot cycle with one of these, and a stain removing agent like Vanish it sorts your machine out no problem.
