    Does anyone else not *get* chainstitch runoff on shirts?

      I can't live without the chainstitch runoff  🙂
      In fact, the shirt I bought today from Al's Attire has a beautifully braided chainstitch runoff.

        Arrow, more pics of said shirt, please!  That looks a lot more intentional than most of the runoff I've seen.

          Now that's some Chainstitch Runoff Porn if I ever saw it! I was looking at those flicks today and hoping you would post them up on this thread. Good shit!

            Thanks for clarifying, Lando. That's definitely not flatlock. Looks so so to me. Better in the shirt pic Arrow posted. What shirt is that? It's a little bit akin to leaving the last button hole on the sleeve open in an MTM or bespoke suit, except that those do represent a real additional tailoring effort. So from a snob perspective, I'd say cut'em off. From a purely esthetic perspective I almost kinda like it.

              That, I believe, is faux chain stitch run off.  Al does not chain stitch his side seanm, so he adds some braid to look like chain stitch (hand braided of course, but stiil faux)…G

                Ahhhhhh. Faux Chainstitch Runoff?!? FAIL! Jk Arrow, Al does great stuff and that is no exception. Definitely a bit more costumy than IH. Looks like tsitsit. That's what my brother told me once, and I kinda agree. HA!

                    A closer look and you guys are right.  Good to know...

                    Here's the shirt (doesn't it look familiar?)

                      At least it is Hand Stitched!

                        The quest for knowledge is truly never-ending.**

                        Now, do shirts of such awesome quality usually have to come with a price of say…..70 dollars and upwards? Are there places to buy said shirts for less? 😕

                        better start reading sufu mayne. i've only actually read through a few threads and it still feels like i dont know enough to hang. lol

                              i'm known enough on the mynudies forum to be able to post casually in the threads and topics that i frequent, but i know how sufu works, so i'm learning learning learning so that i can offer good answers to questions that others will not want to take the time to or just skip, that and i dont want to say something that gets me negged. and with only 10 rep power, a high person negging me will be fatal  😞 so i lurk, learn and offer help when i can  🙂 and post on the Denime x Take 5 contest page. hahaha

                                its really not as easy/simple as it sounds… here are some examples, then let me know if you still would want to try it.  😉

                                and this is one that has yet to be established completely, it takes a lot of time, money and communication to get these types of contests underway.

                                  ^ it wont really be a contest if those are the requirements. I know Ed (demonito) was in a contest with take 5 where all of the contestants were able to buy any kind of jean, but they all had to be purchased from that store. And the goal of a contest is about 5% winning and 95% everything else. contests have a nice sense of communal 'struggle', for lack of a better word. Everyone will have the goal of fading and the comparing and contrasting isnt really as big as the asking other contestants about what they were doing when something tore or when they had a very particular fade, etc. Also, contests have a very nice way of helping people size their jeans. For example, one person might own a few different pairs of denim from only flat head while another contestant may have eternals and fullcounts; those two people can base how they sized their jeans into how they have sized other jeans in the past and come to a more sound conclusion about which size they will get. Be it the 1001, 811's or 0105.

                                  If you do have an idea for a contest man feel free to mention it to people and on other forums. While you will get plenty of people who are busy or cant afford, there will be a group of individuals who will def try to do it because they like the group attempt at demonstrating the awesomeness of jeans. As was seen in the uber mega epic Skull Jeans Contest. And if you can get enough people and the right connects, you might be able to talk your way in to being able to get custom jeans for the contest…or at least something small to add a level if uniqueness to your and other contestants pairs.

                                      Agreed. This shit is getting ridiculous. It is like every Thread has parts of others in them. My OCD is gonna kill me on this forum…

                                        Guys, I'm going to have to get militant.  If you start messing/spamming up threads with stuff that is irrelevant to the thread title, I will either delete it or move it (making stacks of work for me, which I don't need).

                                        You have plenty of flexibility to create new threads if you need to.  So please do that rather than go off topic.

                                        The net result of this anarchy is that the thread loses its relevance, makes the forum really difficult to navigate and puts both existing and new members off contributing.

                                        Let's have some sort of discilpline please.
