I'm thinking of getting a new phone plan with Sprint and i'm likely going to have to get rid of my iphone 7 and buy a new cell. Since I don't keep up with the many iphone iterations, can any of you tell me what's up with the iphone SE and how it's better or worse than the other iphones out there? I'm sure there are bells and whistles on the SE that are a step up from my iphone 7 and it's only $400. I have no desire to spend $400 on a phone but if it means I don't have to pay a monthly lease then so be it.

If you aren't much of a phone guy about the only things you'll probably notice are; slightly different size, better camera, nicer screen, maybe a bit smoother running.
I am similar to you. Don't really care about having the fanciest phone so all the little new 'special' features that come out with each new phone are mostly lost on me.

The low-tops are on hold.
Coming back to the sneakers, does this mean the high-tops are still on the way? If so, what’s the ETA? And will there be US 13 in the mix?

I should probably know this by now, but any tips on keeping your cuff creases from blowing out? I cuff all my jeans, and after about a year of wear the fabric breaks down and gets a hole at the crease. [emoji848]
I don’t hate it, but was wondering if there is a technique to slow or stop that process?

I cuff all my jeans, to the extent that I've stopped getting them hemmed at all. I make sure that the bottom edge of the cuff sits about 1 inch off the laces when I wear boots/cons. I also let the cuff down after each wear. Not had an issue yet. I also wash my jeans fairly regularly, as they're clothes right? I know some folks like to leaves theirs unwashed for ages. If mine are dirty, I wash them. I think that also helps prevent excessive cuff wear, for me anyway.

I was wondering the same thing but not with a cuff crease but with the crease I see on almost every heavy (21/25oz) denim jacket or vest across the front and back.
I know this must be from them being folded and shipped from Japan, but when I see evo pics of them with that crease being dominant across the front and back, I think the look would be cleaner aesthetically without it….is there a way to avoid or prevent this ? -
I don't think it is the folding in shipping, I think it is a crease formed by wear. Do you have some specific examples you could point to?
I will try and find a couple of examples
-
These were the best I could find , but maybe after looking again you are right.
I guess they could just be from wear, but some of these are new with tags.
Its probably no big deal.

Thanks,
Yes, it could be the way they are packed. We store them on hangers here, but they are folded when shipped to and from us. You could possibly remove the memory of the fold by soaking, drip drying until almost dry and then ironing on the non-face side of the fabric…...
In some cases, the construction of the hand-warmers creates a bulky seam, the fabric on the front of the jacket/vest probably hinges around that and creates a fade high-point....

Right, I was thinking the same thing–or maybe even with some steam.
Thanks for the info Giles:) -

It's definitely the hand-warmers that creates the seam. I recall someone posing the same question a couple years ago. The hand-warmer seam is visible on my IHxSE od type III as well as my IHJ-69. I think this is why some customers wanted the traditional type III without hand-warmers - the seam isn't visible.
Personally, the seam doesn't bother me the least bit. I see it as a necessary construction detail.
