      I'd try some xylene. But maybe see how the paint reacts to it first like put some on a old rag, let it dry, then put it on there. Wears gloves, and plenty of ventilation. The stuff is explosive and causes cancer. When I used to screen print it took off many plastic based inks, and latex paint. It will likely remove the paint. You can spot treat the area that you treated with xylol/ xylene with your favorite soap and wash as usual.

                It works fine for me but your link was missing a ")". Pretty cool.

                    WTF is wrong with double denim?

                    44 years ago (and I can still remember where I bought both the shirt and the jeans…..)

                            Was the denim still selvedge in the early 70's?

                              Not on the shirt and I can't actually remember about the Wranglers.  Though my Levi's 501's of that era were all Selvedge…

                                Has anyone been  to Japan in August? Looking at climate diagrams it appears to be super hot. Is that true and is it a bearable dry heat or humid? Tokyo, Osama and Kyoto would be some of the destinations.

                                    HELLO  I NEED HELP ABOUT SIZING THE LEE 23OZ
                                    Im worried about the stretch…can the waist go up a few cm? up to sizes more?
                                    Im getting a size 30 but im more like a 31 or 32 waist.
                                    Is that impossible?
                                    thanks everyone!

                                      I would say it's possible for the denim to go up a size.  No idea on the real waist size of a brand new 30".  Assuming they are a legitimate 30 I would expect them to be uncomfortable in the waist for at least a few weeks to a month before the desired stretch is obtained.  Personally I'd be more concerned with what the thigh measurement is compared to your other jeans.  You want to be sure you can get your legs in them before even attempting to button up.

                                        Now I got the measures compared and thighs wont be a problem, Im more concerned about the waist on this 23oz hard denim type.

                                          If the thighs aren't a problem and you think the waist would be button-able, just tight, to begin with then I would personally go for it.  I'm assuming you are getting a good deal on the jeans if you are going for a size not typically your norm?  Another assumption is that the pair you are getting are not unsanforized/loomstate…..  If so then I definitely do not recommend purchasing as you will lose considerable waist circumference when they touch water.

                                            Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately we don't have a choice of the month we're going, it would be August. Humidity and heat is something I can't take though…
