      Heck it might look cool, it will at least be unique and tell a story…

          That does sound like a bit of a pickle your in mate.

          not at all buddy…just thought i should change a few things before i might do not like the outcome.
          so time will tell! 😉

          @Giles:

          Don't feck with them in the first place…

          they didn't felt right, so wtf not 😉 the fit is way better now, so all is good imo…just the tiny tiny thing with the future look of the traintrack fades!

          @mclaincausey:

          I think he tapered on the inseam so that the outseam selvedge detail looks the same, which means the excess fabric on the inseam gets wider as you approach the hem.  So, the wear created by the relief of this excess fabric isn't uniform, parallel "train track" fades, and instead sort of funnels wider towards the hem.

          Whoever tapered them should have handled this IMO…

          about the last sentence…i actually asked him to keep the selvage ID, so it's actually my fault 😛

          @snowy - mclain got it all sorted for ya, time to visualize 😃

          @Chris:

          You shouldn't mess with it any more, Finn.  Just accept that the fading is going to reflect the alteration.  If you trim the excess denim, you'll have to do an overlock (I think that's the right term) stitch to keep the denim from fraying and possibly allowing the seam stitch to work its way out.  And I suspect doing that means you're going to have to take out the seam to work on the fabric, then resew it.  I think that's way more work than it's worth, but then you're the one that has to live with them.

          qft buddy…i might just think this over again 😛

          @mclaincausey:

          it might will but it also might won't…gotta change something now before i'll reach the "it might won't" point...gonna keep you guys posted! atm. i'm way too lazy to care, just thought i should ask now!

            Yesterday I bought a new wardrobe without doors, because I wanna add some kind of "curtain" in front of the wardrobe. Do anyone know a european retailer where I can buy 5 yards of selvedge denim (+- 31" width, japanese or cone mills, no crap from turkey etc) for the "curtain". If not I found some offers from us-sellers on eBay 🙂 Just wanna safe postage and customs^^

                    I bought an expensive item a week ago on eBay that still hasn't shipped. How long should I wait before escalating matters? I have sent two inquiries to the forum member/seller and received one "I'll shop it tomorrow" response from the first one.

                                      I have stacked a TW using that method. Turns out those Gosport fecks are pretty helpful.

                                        Can anyone suggest a good high quality well made Henley that's lighter than the IH ones? Been looking at real McCoy double diamonds but BiG doesnt have my size unless they have a TON of stretch.
