Random questions to which you seek an answer

[Sreeni]

By the time I realised I needed a few yards of Cone Mills Natural Indigo fabric, there was nothing left in the White Oak Shop or with Pacific Blue Denim.

Do any of you know sellers (or jobbers) from whom I can get a few yards of this fabric? I am specifically looking for fabric because I don't need any denim jackets or jeans this year.

Call me paranoid, but are there any known health risks associated with synthetic indigo? I love natural indigo because I believe it is healthier and fades slower than synthetic indigo. Because if I don't get the Natural Indigo fabric, I will settle for the regular selvedge fabric from Cone Mills available at Pacific Blue.

As always, would appreciate any answer for these questions.

Thanks,
Sreeni

Considering about 99.999% (or probably greater) jeans are made from denim dyed with synthetic indigo, I doubt there are any known health risks

Is this mug still available to buy anywhere?

Do I need a machine to fix this

Ideally yes but a Hammer and some precisely placed force should do the Job too, usually with Buttons like this you get a "Tool" that assists you with the direction.

Who in the US offers boot resoling? I only know of Brian The Bootmaker and B.Nelson. Is there anybody else? I don't need anything resoled now but would like to know what my resoling options are should the time come.

[Matty123]

there are a lot of bootmakers/shoe repair shops that do it. i recommend finding one in your area that has good reviews. or you can ship. I had Aram at http://www.ahoneshoes.com/ do modifications to my shell indys and he did a great job. he also does entire shoe refurbishing.

[mikebarhoot]

Truth. iMHO unless you are sending to the manufacturer find a place locally of good standing. Unless your making a major mod to the sole/boot.

Local place did my elephant resole and dye.

Those really came out great. I totally agree with you,as I also have a fantastic local old school style shoe repair place called The Cowboy Boot Hospital,although he works on everything. Really cool guy as well.
