      Stuff them full of newspaper. But if you've got expensive shoes/boots, you really should be using shoe trees to keep them looking good.

        What's up with Memphis, TN Cotton?  I've noticed that Momotaro and Warehouse use it. Since H only uses USA cotton and I used to live in Memphis, this intrigues me….

            Thanks SM.  It looks like I'll be checking out SDA for the summer. I'm looking at SD-103, IH-666L or TFH3009.

              I would caution against the SDA 103 for summer, as it's a very tight weave I think. I will admit to not having direct experience but can recall a conversation with Jericho at Take 5 in Hong Kong who had been wearing 103s for 9 months in hot weather. His words were "It's hard, very hard"!

                Thanks SM. tight weaves are definitely super hot in the summer, but the fading properties of tightly woven denim is fucking awesome. No pain, no fade….

                  Excellent article.  I learned a few things, thanks!

                    I DO have 1st hand experience. They are a HORRIBLE summer jean. I picked them up as they were 14.5oz or something and thought they'd be great for summer. They're hotter than my 634S' to wear. The 103's don't breathe!

                        As someone who's happy wearing denim all summer, the SDA-103's are likely the only pair of jeans I'd refuse to wear all summer. TBH I'm eyeing TWXB01 for next summer….

                            This question is for my UK brothers, MF Dons or Wimbledon FC?  Just watched this:

                              Wimbledon FC for sure. Almost my neck of the woods.

                                The MF Dons sound like a white collar kind of team and Wimbledon FC is the blue collar faction. That's just what I got from the interviews with the fans.  I also had no idea Vinnie Jones used to own people in futbol. I guess he played for the old Wimbledon FC (before it split).

                                    So my tailor just called me to tell me that my jeans are too thick and stubborn to hem and repair.

                                    I have three pairs in need of mending: IH-Samples, 634SR's, 634XHS's.

                                    Would someone in NY or SF be willing to drop my jeans off at Self-Edge???  Compensation will be provided!

                                          Go to show all bookmarks, and click on the star with the upside down triangle next to it.  There should be an option to back up your bookmarks there, and you can save the file wherever you like.
