      @ROman:

      In the sales thread, where forum members are selling items, what does bump mean??

      It means they're reviving the thread by 'bumping' it so it doesn't get buried

        How many yards of selvedge denim (width = 30 inches) do I need for a short sleeve denim shirt? I am 5'8, 150 lbs.

        Thanks!

          I'd estimate you could do it with 2.5 to 3 yards, but I'd get 4, just to have more margin of error.

          That said, I've never made a shirt, so I'm not an expert.

                1. The cost of shipping is more than the cost of the denim
                2. I wouldn't know what to do with an extra yard of denim.

                Hence, I wanted to be as exact as possible. That said, I will err on the side of shipping more. Thanks!

                  I can't recall.  Is the 888 cut in the Indigo 14.7oz Selvedge Eco-Denim happening? And if so, was it set for late July release?

                        @ROman hey bud. You’re reference to reverse osmosis got me thinking about a documentary I saw at the Maui film festival a few years back. It’s  about a machine called the  “Slingshot” invented by a guy named Dean Kamen. I was wondering yiur thoughts since you are in the clean water business. I’m Purely intersted because I’m a dork.

                        Maybe so. Maybe not

                          @Matty123 , No problem. The slingshot is a much smaller water system. It produces 1000 Liters a day. What I put in produces 35 Liters a minute, typically. I'll put up a few photos. I have posted somewhere before First is a boost pump, then travels through a multi media filter, water softener, then an organic scavenger, which removes tannins from water.

                            Carbon tanks are next, then a UV light that kills bacteria, final filter prior to the RO.

                              Finally the RO which removes 99.9% of everything from water. After the RO it goes to a loop, through an endotoxin filter that removes dead bacteria. Also the RO heat disinfects nightly.

                                Thanks @ROman that’s so interesting to me. I don’t know if you’ve seen the documentary “slingshot” but it was very good. Informative, the guy just wanted to give people the ability to have clean water. Thanks again

                                  Starting to get some idea as to where you username @ROman comes from. Pretty cool.

                                    Playa del Carmen: in past trips, I've always stuck to bottled water. Curious what the contaminants are and whether I'd be in good shape using a backpacking water filter. If they are viral or mineral in nature I'll skip the filter. If they are largely bacterial in nature I'll bring it.

                                    Think it, be it.

                                            trying to plan out my trip to europe this year. probably spending a week in UK and a week in paris, maybe a day in brussels. i'll be doing a self drive trip. couple of questions for you season channel travellers.

                                            1)how does the eurotunnel work? (is it fixed timing or if you get there earlier you can board an earlier train? is it worth crossing by boat instead? etc) i do really wanna see the white cliffs..

                                            2)Parisian motorways.. (tolls and such?) besides driving on the wrong side of the road, i probably need to know how will it be different driving a UK registered vehicle in normal europe.

                                            3)not sure if a trip to brussels is worth it…

                                            thanks in advance..
