I've had good experiences with both Panasonic and Toshiba.  I'd recommend either for TVs.

Mr. G, how much is the weight of the 18oz denim after the first soak?

I know that unsanforized denim gains a little weight after soak, but how about sanforized?

[Giles]

The 18 becomes about 18.7

thaks for you except my request am  am happy and i like this forum.

Would it be possible to make a selvedge super black denim? Could we see that at some point in the future?

[Giles]

It is possible.  I suspect I would have to request it, because the (mainly) bikers who buy the SB stuff in Japan, don't give a shit whether it is selvedge or not…I'm not sure if I want to do it enough to commission it...

I have been doing some learning on loopwheeled and have seen the video that Giles stars in about tees. Can I ask why ih hoddies are loopwheeled but have seams. I am guessing because of some area of construction.?

[Giles]

I guess it's a constructional requirement, I'll ask H….

[davito]

[Peter]

davito, thanks man, but maybe i shouldve specified further. to me a "knitted sweater" is perhaps whats more generally known as a pullover, jumper or w/e its called haha. all these different types of tops..

love my buzz rickson x self edge sweater! bought in nyc 3-4 years ago and is by far my most favourite sweater

[davito]

Lol ok Peter sorry my bad. Check out the flat head as well they have some nice knitted stuff as well as far as i know

[Guest]

Hey guys, noob question for sure…

How long does it usually take for denim, particularly the 18oz, to settle and have the creases form?

[Megatron1505]

Completely depends on the amount of wear, and what you do when you are wearing them. It varies depending on your lifestyle basically.

[madmonday]

about to weeks for me wowowee, but mega has a valid point.  oh & it also depends on the cut of the denim as the closer fits tend to set sooner than later

[Seul]

Nm… Still an eejit...

Thinking about getting a dog, two questions.

Are pets important to the development of a child?

Which breeds of dogs are good with kids?

I always grew up with dogs, so I love them. When me and Pam first for our house we had a Siberian Husky, that did not end well.

[DougNg]

Can't answer the first one definitively, but I can attest that Rottweilers are great with kids if you do your research on how they were bred. Mine was bred for temperament, not size. I have yet to see him act aggressively except for the shady neighbors he barked at one time. I gave him a treat for that because they set off my spider sense as well

Rotties are awesome with kids and just all around bad asses of the K-9 world in every sense.

Labs- can't go wrong with a lab. I prefer yellows
