      Second rant today.  An employee of mine didn't know how to create a screenshot, paste it to an email, and send the email.  For the sake of my mental and physical health after a chain of 9-10 messages where I clearly explain the "complexities" of creating a screenshot and sending it to someone I had to give up and send them to tech support to have someone else try and fix the unfixable; stupid.

        Followed (most) of the guidelines on how to wash superblack jeans, still ended up with lots of white spots and streaks.

          Which ones did you miss? (Because they’re obviously the important ones)…

            Turned them inside out, used liquid soap, low RPM spin cycle, pulled them out before the high RPM spin cycle, even used a "Delicate fecking garments (ya ponce)" setting…  😢

              Should've bloody soaked them before throwing them in the machine… That's the one that probably did me in...  😞

                    Aye I'd forgotten about that bit… Fuck it... I'll just not wash them again and get them so dirty the spots won't even be noticeable...

                    Fuck do I care anyway  😎

                            It’s not a fade, it’s a mark caused by abrasion I believe.

                              I now pre-soak everything made of heavy material or indigo dyed before I chuck them in the machine. It’s important because it prevents sharp creases forming in the fabric which happens quickly if you stuff them in machine dry. I use the shower head and soak the outside then flip them and repeat.

                                I had perfect luck washing my 8301 by soaking them for 30 minutes in the tub, putting them in a pre-filled/sudsy washing machine, and even spun them dry. No marks whatso ever. The soak is the key.

                                  Was checking the Corlection site and was mildly irritated that their measurements are done slightly different than IH. I wished there was a universal system of measuring clothing to avoid confusion. It's not rocket science so I don't get why thigh measurements, as an example, are measured at the crotch, 1" down and 2" down for different companies?

                                    We measure the way the Japanese do…....For us, any other way of measuring is a potential cause of confusion when we spec clothing....

                                      I just wished every company measured the IH way because I know my measurements is what i'm getting it.
