@Jord666:

Thank you for all your advice guys! So from what I can gather I should hot soak them while wearing them and then if I ever wash them just wear them while damp so stretch them back out?

imo yes!

@Giles:

I don't think we can give sensible advice until we know the brand and the denim….

BINGO!

[Giles]

I tried…..

[superfuzz]

G, you are wise!

So…..what sort of denim are we dealing with again?

G, you are wise!

No I'm not, but the question is akin to "what are the best tyres to put on my bike?"

We need more data to give a considered response.

[DougNg]

Yeah, kind of frustrating. Someone in the knife thread one time said "pick me a knife, GO!"

Errrr

More data is necessary

[Jord666]

My apologies, I'm using tap talk and in work currently so didn't read all of the replies correctly. It's a pair of Tenderloin T-Riders I got off eBay

Best

[Giles]

And…...predictably the extra data does not help me, I have no experience of this denim.  I know that riffblastergeneral had/has a pair, maybe good idea to PM him....

[Jord666]

Ahh ok, haha, thank you all for your replies!

[Jord666]

And thanks Giles, I'll get onto him when I get home from work

My brother quit smoking yesterday - cold turkey… He was a pack a day man... I promised him 100 € if he'd finish the month, but wonder what else I can do to stimulate and encourage him?..

[mclaincausey]

Have you considered putting cloves in his cigarettes?

[Seul]

I'm just hoping he won't touch the damn things anymore… Cloves or no cloves...

[Chris]

Punch him in the nuts every time he lights up near you.

My girlfriend quit a little while back and did it exactly as your brother is doing… Cold Turky, all I did was constantly tell her how chuffed I was with her and how well she was doing, she had attempted quitting a few times previously but the last time felt different, she REALLY WANTED to quit that final time and I think that's key....

Not sure if that was any help or not. Best of luck to your brother, hope he's successful!

yessir goodluck to brother Seul. I smoked heavily for 17 years and quited from one to the other day turkey style, good luck. get him into a nice hobby like denim or so in the first maybe two years of staying clean I tried to avoid smoker clubs etc. Nowadays its not a problem at all anymore and life is a lot fresher than back then.
but as Jord666 pointed out, you really want to do it, thats all you need

[Seul]

Shit he hàs enough hobbies… I'm also convinced he's strong enough to do this... Thanks for the help lads!..

Here's to hoping that we'll both spend 2014 smoke-free... I know I will... 

[Megatron1505]

Amen to that buddy

I did cold turkey starting 2/2/2002. I smoked Newport shorts like it was going out of style. The very thought sickens me now….
