@Shoreman:

I think that's a common misconception. There are numerous strains of the medicinal variety that are geared primarily towards alleviating stress and anxiety. Moderation is important, of course.

Suggest any further discussions take place in the proper thread (the "green" one, not that I can find it). Whilst it's great for relieving anxiety and stress, at the time, it ends up causing FAR more when you're not around to take your habitual hit. Anyhow, if the right thread pops up and questions are asked, I'll likely write bits and pieces, I was legal in cali for 1/2 my time….

I wear mine for work every single day, unfortunately I sit on my ass all day, hence epic ass fades.

The opposite of the "Seul patch"?

When choosing jeans, how much does Front Rise matters? What does a lower front rise jeans gain/ lose to a higher front rise jeans? shallower/ deeper front pockets perhaps?
any views ?

[grandmasterben]

Well, if you're worried about a rise on a pair of jeans, higher is always safer. IMO, higher rises are a little uncomfortable when sitting down so I prefer medium/low rises.

[Omega Man]

It depends how you wear your jeans, me thinks.  I don't really want to show my plumber's crack if the rise is too low  :P….

Not really sure where to post this, so here it is.
Might sound a lil ridiculous, but do IHUK does repair works or send repair kits like fabric/buttons/rivets?

[Giles]

Short answer.  No.  We'll chain stitch, but we are not geared up for anything else really.

Hey guys, after a pre-soak, is it recommended to hang the jeans inside-out or flip them back to normal before hanging?

[Giles]

I always soak outside out so I always dry outside out.

[Guest]

Is there that much of a difference in indigo loss or anything else, between doing an initial soak inside out or outside out? I keep reading and hearing different things.

For example, Haraki-san recommended to soak inside out and hang inside out on the 21/24 denim.

Sorry, I am just wondering

[scroogen]

Shouldn't matter if you soak in a tub/bucket. If you use the washing machine you should flip inside out

[Giles]

As scroogen said.  I take an initial soak to be a soak, if it goes into a washing machine it is a wash….

[Guest]

So an initial soak/soak, no need to flip inside-out? For a wash, always flip inside-out? Or really, is it just a matter of preference?

[Giles]

Correct.  Because most of our denim is so stiff/heavy, the denim tends to crease in the washing machine and you will get abrasion/fades on those creases - Not good.

[Guest]

Alright, thank you sir! Initial soak outside out it is! Anyone object?

[Snowy]

^ What temperature? ^__^ xoxoxx (I cold soak, FYI)

[Guest]

^ Haha, well initial soak I like to do a super hot soak
