@Travis2375 I’m lost…where does it say 463? Those are 634’s that are pictured.

[Travis2375]

@goosehd My fault, 634 not 463. I was just wishing for 463

I wonder if anyone could help explain some laundry-related strangeness.

I accidentally tumble dried a Merz long sleeved tee which has suffered from significant sleeve twist for some time. No amount or reshaping while damp could fix this but the accidental drying has reset the arms to factory settings. How does this work?

@ARNC My understanding is that the fabric mill needed to adjust for torquing in the knitting process, if requested by the customer. However, that is only something that they would know if R&D had been done thoroughly. Some folks just get their sample yardage, make a garment, and proceed without any testing though…

This may be a question for @Alex or anyone who studies Japanese…

I’ve been trading cards with a friend online and I looked up their name とりとり - which is ToriTori… Wikipedia says Tori is bird. Together it’s friend chicken on a stick? Haha just wanted to see if this is true because if it is… it’s such a good Pokémon joke

Slowpoke tails are eaten by humans inside the game bc they can’t feel when they fall off… if so.. slowpoke tails on a stick

[Alex]

I've not heard toritori used to describe food - yakitori is grilled (chicken) meat on a stick, kushiyaki being a more accurate word for grilled (any)meat on a stick. However, yakitori restaurants do sometimes cook non-chicken. Hard to say for sure, 鳥捕り which is spelt out as とりとり in hiragana means bird catcher, but i think slowpokes eat fish, so the mystery remains until a better Japanese speaker reads this..

@Alex Hahah. Thanks for the lesson! I’m still laughing anyways. It’s so funny how random things can connect people together. Why I love Pokémon and Iron Heart!

What are all the modern/current pieces that use “ib” or combination of indigo + black dyes within the denim fabric?

@kiya My love to you and D! Still love this thing!

(I found the answer to my original question on style forum; apologies that this isn’t a question anymore)

@deadendpro Could also be a collaboration of two Hunter S. Thompson works.

Can I change my name on the forum or do I have to create a new account?

[jordanscollected]

@gneicher mods may be able to help @goosehd?

[goosehd]

@gneicher I will have to bump this up to the Admin level and will make note of your request. We typically don't change usernames.

[Mizmazzle]

@gneicher are you thinking DenimGodLordofIndigo might be more catchy?

[gneicher]

@Mizmazzle yes actually, now that I am a bit more cultured I was thinking something like “LordOfDuckCanvasXHS”

[Mizmazzle]

@gneicher atta boy!!

@goosehd In all the years that I’ve been here,as far as I know,the only person to have ever changed his User Name was “Filthy”

[Mizmazzle]

I think @flannel-slut changed his name, if I recall correctly…

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

He wasn’t fooling anyone going by @flannel-chaste….
