      @christoph I am pretty sure Rail Car offer a tapering service. Losing the selvedge ID might be the price you pay depending on how much tapering you require though

      The devil is in the detail..

        @christoph I,also, had that happen once,and since then I always request that the jeans be taken in from the Non-Selvedge side. That way it doesn’t matter how much you need taken in.

            Afternoon fellas,
            Probably the stupidest and most irrelevant question I have asked….
            I just made my first dip into the -Re:Love section, and came out with a 526PJ. It’s awesome and i love it. And to make the best even better, its got a lovely smell. So i was wondering what detergent you use? Hopefully something exotic and pricey!

            Mahalo!

                We are so pleased that you love your new jacket!

                We ask all Relove pieces to be washed before sending them to us so there is going to be a load of different, country-specific detergents used out there.

                🤘

                    Summer has fully arrived her, and I'm missing a light white long-sleeve shirt for everyday-use (but also for work, doc). I've got a 279, and it's beautiful, but I'd also like to have something lighter, with a smooth surface. Anything you can recommend? (EU based)

                      @NorvilleRogers - it may be my old 526 as I reloved it a few months back and I think it appeared on the most recent run. Was it the medium? If it was, I think I used some fabric softener which I can ask my wife about as I just ‘borrowed’ some.

                          Is the 815 made from the old wabash used with IHSH-55 or is it made with the new wabash?

                              Thanks for the response! The more I dug by searching "wabash" the more it seemed that was the case. Plus, my 815 look just like my 227. So just pipe wondering I suppose. Really wish they would bring back the 21oz wabash. 21oz wabash type ii. Yes. This is the hill I will die on.

                                Hi @CRISPY HERON, indeed it sounds like this was your jacket… not many come up in medium. many thanks for pre-wearing it to my preferred specifications…nicely worn-in with plenty of pages left for new chapters. its a beaut!
                                Id love to know what softener was used. it hides my natural old man and fags odour wonderfully.
                                cheers.

                                      I have a “problem “ with returning creases on the inside of almost all of my jeans.
                                      It’s really crazy, nothing seems to really help. They are gone for a while after ironing but slowly return. I could despair on those fuckers 🤦‍♂️
                                      maybe it’s because I don’t cuff my jeans ?
                                      I store them hanging, so it’s not a problem that comes with folding.
                                      here is a good example. my 666 UHR , washed twice and ironed those creases twice on both legs. After around 20 wears after ironing they look this way ( after ironing the creases were gone) :

                                        @Daniel-San I have that same issue with my SBGs. Yours seem to be a bit further from the seam than mine. But I sort of think it’s the inside hemmed edge fabric fold over where the selvedge edge presses on the fabric from the inside. Curious what others have to say.

                                        In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

                                          Looks like it’s from being washed inside out then dried with a slight crease. Maybe try washing it outside in next time. It won’t hurt them.

                                            I feel like it’s just the price of doing business for machine washing my jeans. Those creases are getting set in the wash.
