[

Just taken my Sugar Cane Hawaii's off and noticed the seem has blown out Not over happy as I bought these in March this year; they're on rotation with 3 other jeans so max wear is probably 2 months or so.

Question: Whats the best way to get these mended? There's a Chinese tailor round the corner who could probably do it or should I hold out for a denim specialist?](http://www.flickr.com/photos/50204959@N03/4917352427/)

Pop round Weds, learn how to use the Union (You'll have to teach yourself) and do them your self…

Simon

Like it, cheers Giles, I'm there

May just have a go with a few off cuts first, never used a sewing machine in my life before let alone an industrial chain stitcher!

Will post results :-\

Anyone know the make and model of these sunglasses as worn by Jason Donovan in 'who do you think you are ? '

Another 2 questions for y'all…

where do I buy Obenauf leather oil in €urope (best price/...)?.. If I wanna use it for boots, jeans tags and belts, should I get oil or leather polish or both?..
do jeans stretch at all if you wear a belt on 'm?.. We're talking IH belt and IH jeans so any knowledge as I know it is rendered void and useless...

Eli,

Definitely not an expert on either of these topics,:

I am not sure where to buy the Obenaufs in Europe, but I used the oil on my belt and it worked out great…I have no experience with the polish, but I am assuming that works better with boots?

I have been wearing the IH belt with my 07's and I have had some stretching still, maybe back to the original size, although mine are fitted so that they were tts once they shrunk, so they didn't really need to stretch much.

Seul

Yeah skip the part about the polish… Just need some oil... I have polish for boots... Just gave my Grenson a second, much more thorough cleaning. They look awesome now... But I plan on buying a tan IH belt and also wanna start taking care of my tags and belts so...

I have the IH tan belt, and it started to get some stains from sweating in the 95+ weather here. It looks much better since I applied the oil, and it darkened somewhat to a really nice shade. I can take a few pics later on today, so you can see the result. I think Beats posted some already.

Good question Hectic, I spotted those, cool !
Check out Rejuvenator Oil on the Aeroleather site, not cheap but very very good.
Mind you, it's cheaper on there than on other sites.

Seul

Ta, will pick that'un up then.

If you mean the sunglasses, i posted that question.

Was that site helpful, Jonnyv?

Thanks for the sugestion, i had already looked there. No record of him.

The Tv programme where he was wearing the sunglasses was only a few days ago.

thanks

Tripleterror

Apologies Jonnyv, should have looked more carefully.

Anyone else here on Gilt?..

Want so hard it's not even funny. I'd ask Landon as he's done this for me before, but I've asked him twice already the last 6-8 weeks plus I think he's moving no?.. So yeah, if anyone can do me a huge favour… Please PM me...

Seul

Thanks to nameness/ Raul for doing this for me!..

Chris

Didn't catch this early enough to volunteer, but if you ever need a Gilt proxy, let me know. I've bought more than a few things from them.

Besides, I gotta help out my forum twin, right?

Anyone know where I can find some quality white denim, ideally slim or skinny fit?

These are top of the line, but very nice.

RRL I think makes some inexpensive white denim. Do a search over at Style Forum and you should see a ton of threads.
