@yannis Oh wow, very interesting. Yeah, they are deffo 21oz, but I've never known about the fading properties of the material. Cool to confirm! The cut is amazing, so the lack of contrast is ok by me at the end of the day. In a perfect world, though........

@SKT honestly, there are days that it’s hard to keep up with all of the new posts. Get a few days behind and it’s almost impossible…I know that occasionally I run across a post and can’t figure out the same thing.

@Tago-Mago good question, I could be in Germany right now drinking beer, fishing in Portugal drinking wine and beer, or as I spent my morning at the dentist office.
My priorities are clearly not in line…

For all who have their jeans hemmed:
If a store was using a Union Special 43200H, instead of the one-generation-older 43200G model, would that deter you in any way from having them hem your jeans?
Considering picking up a machine myself.

True to Size (TTS)....what the hell does this mean or what are people meaning when they refer to this? It's never made any sense to me.
I can see things being TTS in the fact that a size 9 show is smaller than a size 12 or that a size M is smaller than a 4XL, and perhaps even to say that they're smaller proportionally speaking for that brand's sizing as being "true to size", but beyond that it just breaks down for me.
Maybe this belongs in the rant section because it feels like a mostly useless phrase that's an inherently subjective term that lacks any objective standardization.
-
@pechelman when I use the term, it is in the context of I normally wear size XL and in this occasion I chose the same, neither sizing up nor down.
I agree with your argument that unless you know my normal size then tts is meaningless.
In general, it is loosely thrown around without context too often.
-
I wont lie, maybe 10 years ago when I just wore any old clothing, I would just buy "size medium" t-shirts and say that's my size, but it's totally subjective to different companies with different fits etc... I think the average person just says "yep i'm THIS size so I'll just buy that"
I think that's why it's important to still refer newcomers to actually measure their body/something that fits well
-
When I hear TTS I think of the difference of vanity sizing from department store jeans to a waist/tag size that is actually indicative to the actual waist measurement. Eg. I'm a 34waist in Levi's, wranglers, Lee, etc. but around 36 in IH and my actual waist measurements on all these different jeans are 36ish. Beyond the jump from life in vanity sized department store clothes to not, I don't really get the whole true to size thing.
Status over time.
