Learning moments in my denim journey

[Matt]

Maybe pegged at the cuff.

@goosehd oh me too. Also had Jordan’s tho so that’s cool

[goosehd]

Man, I haven’t pegged a pair of jeans in years and miss the old school Jordan’s

[sabergirl]

I think that tight-rolling XHS may be impossible. I assume that’s what “pegging” is in this context

[endo]

@sabergirl just overdye them - black, purple, olive, whatever they will look good

[neph93]

@sabergirl that term can no longer be used for anything other than what you're thinking about. Somebody should tell @goosehd

[RobeOfTheMagi]

Not a native speaker here; had to look that up. I'm quite a bit confused o.O.

[T4920]

@RobeOfTheMagi best clear your browsing history, stat.

[RobeOfTheMagi]

Yeah, it's such a wormhole!

[neph93]

This is priceless.

[goosehd]

Oh my…I had to look it up too as I couldn’t figure out what you were talking about

@sabergirl Look what you’ve done.

@RobeOfTheMagi said in Learning moments in my denim journey:

@RobeOfTheMagi somehow, 'wormhole' seems like it could be metaphorical in this context too...

[RobeOfTheMagi]

@T4920 Was trying to be a bit witty there :).

[sabergirl]

Oh sure, blame it all on me @goosehd. I hope you all broadened your horizons.

[Matt]

In fairness XHS is pretty rigid and could get the job done. Maybe that’s what @AdamJ does with the hemming scraps.

[Nik]

Pegging aside I vote thumbs up on the zany bleach, you’ll join a log list of very cool gardeners in those @sabergirl

[neph93]

Careful with that thumb…

This whole thread is a big “learning moment”

[flannel slut]

Before joining the forum I “Tried” shrinking a pair of 21oz years ago by boiling them in a large pot… totally overlooked what might happen to the leather patch if submerged. Came across the old patch while doing some spring cleaning this morning and figured this the perfect thread to share.

If only I had known of Filthy and his mad scientist expertise at the time
