@lowk:

I'm curious why the ih301 series has no outer selvedge showing
and is the 301s-bk selvedge too?

If I recall right, the visible selvage line got cut because it's a tapered fit

[Giles]

Not quite correct, the whole cut of the 301 was designed for a non selvedge denim so showing the selvedge line was not an important consideration.  When we designed the 666 which is also tapered, we disigned it to show the selvedge line.

The 301S is selvedge, look at the fly construction.  The only 301 jean that is non-selvedge is the 9301.  G

Stupid question: what does the number and colour of the squares under the rank (e.g. "Iron Heart Deity") mean?

[nameness]

It's just a post count meter.  The more posts you have, the more squares.  Color is user type…  mods are green, G is red as admn, etc.

Hi, I been looking to a pair of levis 501 black polishes. I dont have experience with black denim, does black denim stretchs less than regular denim?  do they fade as well?

cheers

Question:  What is the best way to hang selvage jeans after wearing them?

I currently have 4 pairs of selvage jeans that I rotate through, wearing one then folding them in half, then I put the one I wore on the bottom of the pile, then start rotation again.

I am concerned that I will get a wear mark where I keep folding them and am curious if this is the best way to store them and am curious how others are hanging, placing, or are you just throwing in a corner when they are not being worn.

i hang my up on butchers hooks by the belt loops. i worried it would stretch or ruin the belt loops but i've been doing it for year and they seem fine.

same here

folding certainly could leave noticeable marks if you always fold the same way

Thank you Jimmy and Jacoavlu….Sorry for next newby question of how/where do you suspend the hooks for single/multiple jeans?

most of them are just in the wardrobe for me [hook from the bar]. the one i wear everyday is hooked from a top draw next to my bed.

I have my collection draped over a bannister

The pair I currently wear usually ends up on the floor

Question: do these seem like a nice boot? i'm admittedly a sneaker wearer the majority of the time but these boots just seem really nice to me, i was just wondering if it was worth the price
