What is the correct english term for a sleeveless t-shirt commonly called wifebeater. Singlet? Tank top?

[Giles]

Singlet would work…..

[Captain]

Thank you. That being a british expression?

@Max:

^some argument, that the salt will keep the indigo better in (like Atelier la Durance claimed) and that rubbing with sand will help the contrasts. but then, I doubt that there is any big difference to a standard soak. And I don't know, if I would want to have seawater in my  jeans (at least, without a further wash).

Yep I hot soak with sea salt all my raw when new or before the first wash with San. It helps locks in the indigo  dye. I am not sure if actual sea water will be any different  but some Japanese brands tend to think so.

It's exactly the same as the old…

That would imply that nothing has changed, which would be entirely incorrect–not sure if you were being sarcastic or serious. I read somewhere that seller's fees might be incurred in some instances? Can anyone shed some light on this?

[Seul]

They'll probs ask fees for baller threads (won't occur much in SW&D subthread then) if they do so… It looks as if it's gonna be even nicer anyhow...

Hey guys, I need the forum's wisdom. I'm throwing a party tonight and while there is no entrance fee per se, people can volantarily pay to get in (0.5 € = 0.70$ is fair I reckon). I'd like to donate half of the money to a relief organisation which helps Japan to recover and the other half either to a cancer research programme or relief organisation which prevents poverty (in South America, probably Bolivia). My question is, which relief organisation is LEGIT and truly concerned about the victims of this catastrophe in Japan? I am very well aware of the fact that some of you have voiced their opinions regarding this problem a few months ago. But I thought that maybe things have changed and some may have new experience/knowledge about this? I gotta work in 2 hours, so any quick response is appreciated!

Cheers,

seren

@monday:

shoreman, i'll give it a try for you if no one else offers between now & Friday morning, but it might be better to get someone outside of NY to do it for you.  I'm pretty sure they would charge me taxes & such while out of state you beat that additional cost.

if no bites, send me a pm with info & I'll see what I can do 

Damn. Site crashed again.

[madmonday]

what's the site i can check on my end. ???

& wtf you sent me no pm, i forgot all about this

Don't even sweat it. I was hungover and slept through the drop, ha.
