Hi, I been looking to a pair of levis 501 black polishes. I dont have experience with black denim, does black denim stretchs less than regular denim?  do they fade as well?

cheers

[Beatle]

lol…I highly recommend getting a pair of decent jawns...how about some IH's??

Question:  What is the best way to hang selvage jeans after wearing them?

I currently have 4 pairs of selvage jeans that I rotate through, wearing one then folding them in half, then I put the one I wore on the bottom of the pile, then start rotation again.

I am concerned that I will get a wear mark where I keep folding them and am curious if this is the best way to store them and am curious how others are hanging, placing, or are you just throwing in a corner when they are not being worn.

i hang my up on butchers hooks by the belt loops. i worried it would stretch or ruin the belt loops but i've been doing it for year and they seem fine.

same here

folding certainly could leave noticeable marks if you always fold the same way

Thank you Jimmy and Jacoavlu….Sorry for next newby question of how/where do you suspend the hooks for single/multiple jeans?

most of them are just in the wardrobe for me [hook from the bar]. the one i wear everyday is hooked from a top draw next to my bed.

I have my collection draped over a bannister

The pair I currently wear usually ends up on the floor

Question: do these seem like a nice boot? i'm admittedly a sneaker wearer the majority of the time but these boots just seem really nice to me, i was just wondering if it was worth the price

thanks all

I like them. Plus - the store is selling Brooks bike saddles - indication that they know what's good..

i think abington is a sub brand of timberland.  no?

if youre looking for a tough rugged boot with a similar look that is also made in the USA check out the Thorogood Heritage line.

I have a pair of Abington's, they are a sub brand of Timberland as Riffblaster G said and to be fair they are nice boots, but not at the same quality level as say RW's. They're built in China as well which sort of bugs me, as always you get what you pay for.

[rocket]

Have the same pair of Abington Hiker as Simon (saw yours in the keeper pic Simon), I like the look and feel and they are not bad built if you ignore the Made in China. However I would not pay retail on them, with a bit of research you should be able to get good deal.

wondering if this is happening to anyone else

when you get an email "notify" on a thread it takes you to the first page rather
than the new post of that tread. started about a week ago.

[riffblaster general]

does wearing your jeans while shovelling snow and having them completely soaked all the way through constitute a cold soak?  if so then my 634s have been cold soaked 4 times this week.  rad.

[Beatle]

maybe

[halberdklown]

same thing happening to me, Jimmy. although, on my iphone it takes me directly to the latest post… no idea why it's different

anybody living in cold climates have any advice/pointers for getting rid of ice dams on your gutters?

i'm trying a full on mr. wizard science project right now where you fill panty hose with calcium chloride and put it on the ice so it slowly melts through and creates a channel for water to flow.
