so ... these aren't going to stretch anymore? when does the real stretching happen, right away or later? am i asking stupid questions?

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 12 January 2007 19:50 (nineteen years ago)

go on a diet, bruh

― jaxon (jaxon), Friday, 12 January 2007 20:21 (nineteen years ago)

um what if you washed them and put them on without letting them dry all the way (or just not at all) and then do some aerobics or move around. i mean this is what happens when i ride a bike in the rain, i have to wash my jeans again because they are too big. yeah then take them off and let them dry.

or stop being a fattey ;-)

it's hard to say... unless i'm misunderstanding something.

1) are you buying waistsize that is 3"s smaller than your real waist size?

2) you've never washed them?

XXs shrink with water or humidity. so maybe you are in a humid area or got them wet so that they shrank?

i'd give them some time. they are cotton fiber so just pull or stretch them and keep it that way for a day or two. make sure you store your XXs in a dry area too, that may help.

let me know what the country of origin was too, when you get a chance.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Friday, 12 January 2007 20:27 (nineteen years ago)

i know you won't, but DO NOT do what caitlin recommends... unless you have any friends with 28" waists who you want to give a $200 pair of jeans too.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Friday, 12 January 2007 20:29 (nineteen years ago)

shasta, how much longer will i have to wait for chocolate chip cookies?

― chicago kevin (chicago kevin), Friday, 12 January 2007 20:32 (nineteen years ago)

steve i don't understand what kind of jeans can get smaller when they get wet? what are they made of? recycled garbage bags?

― nazi bikini (harbl), Friday, 12 January 2007 20:33 (nineteen years ago)

also why can jeans cost $200? you guys are gay

get equipped with waistband stretcher

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Friday, 12 January 2007 20:36 (nineteen years ago)

washing does not shrink clothing; drying them does -- and then, most of the shrinkage is caused when fibers get pushed closer together during tumble drying.

ok, this is the shasta thread, but fyi.

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Friday, 12 January 2007 20:39 (nineteen years ago)

i know drying shrinks things but steve said getting them wet will shrink them

― nazi bikini (harbl), Friday, 12 January 2007 20:41 (nineteen years ago)

i need a butt stretcher

waht

― trans pacific donkey cell phone (sleep), Friday, 12 January 2007 20:42 (nineteen years ago)

raw unwashed cotton shrinks when wet. and yes then it shrinks when it dries. i've never put any of my jeans in a dryer and yet they've all shrunk exactly to specs.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Friday, 12 January 2007 20:43 (nineteen years ago)

elmo, why do you send garments to laundry before/after manufacture? or do you buy prewashed cotton?

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Friday, 12 January 2007 20:44 (nineteen years ago)

I solve this problem by not actually ever washing my jeans, or maybe like once in a blue moon.

waistband stretcher?!

i'll overlook the creepey azn stuff that goes on here but the jean fetish is absolutely disgusting

― cousin larry bundgee (bundgee), Friday, 12 January 2007 20:49 (nineteen years ago)

So wait: my jeans stretch A LOT in between washings, and I have to wash and dry just to get them back to normal (ie non-saggy ass). But when I first buy them, they're as tight as I can get on. Why can I not find the happy medium?? Granted I have one pair of Joe's Jeans and the rest are all, like, Levi's, so I am clearly not in the Shasta Camp w/r/t denim.

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 12 January 2007 20:52 (nineteen years ago)

hahahahaha!

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Friday, 12 January 2007 20:52 (nineteen years ago)

steve, many of the garments we sell are tie-dyed in house and washed twice as part of the dyeing process -- we source those blanks oversized so they shrink to size. some of the solid-color shirts we make are pre-shrunk, but most are not, but we tend to source those blanks with a pretty high thread count so they don't shrink as much.

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Friday, 12 January 2007 20:55 (nineteen years ago)

totally. BUT 14-21 ounce raw denim reacts very differently to water/heat than high thread count pre-shrunk t-shirts.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Friday, 12 January 2007 20:57 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, that's likely. i'll trust your knowledge of raw demin on this, o wise shasta. :D

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Friday, 12 January 2007 20:59 (nineteen years ago)

yeah how come my jeans never retain their shape after too long? just cheap jeans?

Laurel, I wear Levi's lady jeans as well and I think they do this because they're like 3/4ths spandex.

― walter kranz (walterkranz), Friday, 12 January 2007 21:04 (nineteen years ago)

Not mine, I've never found a pair of stretch jeans I could tolerate except my one pair of $$ ones.

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 12 January 2007 21:08 (nineteen years ago)

Cheap Levis are not really denim though are they? They're like denim plus something... else. Something that only makes them last for 6 months.

― walter kranz (walterkranz), Friday, 12 January 2007 21:13 (nineteen years ago)

Hardcore kids wear girl pants? ?

― jaxon (jaxon), Friday, 12 January 2007 21:18 (nineteen years ago)

[16:28] [ETH@N]: i see them lil dude w/ the girls jeans & shit
[16:28] [ETH@N]: i could break dude in half
[16:28] [ETH@N]: lil muppet lookin legs

― trans pacific donkey cell phone (sleep), Friday, 12 January 2007 21:25 (nineteen years ago)

I'm not talkin Wassup Rockers jeans here. Just normal old jeans that actually fit a skinny guy without ballooning out in the thighs like some kind of weird jockey pants. And every pair of girls jean's I've seen from Levis (not stretch pants) tend to have like 1% lycra and 1% nylon or polyester or something like that.

WHO'S A FATTEY????

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 12 January 2007 22:33 (nineteen years ago)

the buttz in girls jeans are always too big for me. i am too white. damn.

i fit in them, but i get grumpy after about 4 hours because i'm just not used to wearing my jeans this tight ... is it worth being pissed off to be this fashion-forward?

-- vahid (vfoz...), January 12th, 2007. (vahid) (later) (link) (admin)

lol @ "fashion forward" on noise board.

and i can't wear them to school, either. i did one time and kids were going "mr f0zi's a skater / emo / a fag"

-- vahid (vfoz...), January 12th, 2007. (vahid) (later) (link) (admin)

this is weird to me because in my day, "skaters" wore the ridiculously baggy jeans!

Steven Shasta,

how are you feeling today. you were kinda blitzkrieged last night.

jaxon.

― jaxon (jaxon), Sunday, 14 January 2007 20:16 (nineteen years ago)

steve,

what do you think of flathead jeans??

― vahid (vahid), Sunday, 14 January 2007 21:46 (nineteen years ago)

Stevers,
Why are there so many SD and North Counties bros on Noize Board? I lived there for fiften years and know none of them I think. Now I live in Bed-Stuy. Also, I'm considering buying a new fish for Sunset Cliffs and San Miguel trips. Twin or triple fin?

― Jumping Into Jesus (wolfwolfwolf), Sunday, 14 January 2007 21:50 (nineteen years ago)

where / when

― vahid (vahid), Monday, 15 January 2007 02:03 (nineteen years ago)

Jaxon! I woke up at 7:30am and left my house and just got home. LOOOONG day, fucking shit last night at RX, good times.

Vahid, The Flat Head is from Nagano, pretty disconnected from the majority of the Osaka/Tokyo denim mfg. scenes. I have a pair of their 44 501XX repros that are pretty nice, but when I compare them to my pair of deadstock vintage 44s that I got in Pasadena about 10 years ago that still had the tags and barely any fading so it's hard to measure up to them. But TFH is nice, like most brands, I only like their XX repro stuff... I'm not into their hard wear finishing, it's pretty corny.

If you look here, it's the 3003XX LOT#40.

I have some news for Allah Frog too... where is the Allah Frog?

JIJ,
North County lifestyle man. Pizza Port, Board N Brew and the Belly Up. Smokin blunts with the B-Side Players. Gettin barreled at Swami's with Gerlach hootin on the shoulder. Good times man, I can't explain. Go for the tri-skag attack for those gnarly Mexican sandbars that can pitch you out and over, you don't want to give up and slippage.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Monday, 15 January 2007 06:32 (nineteen years ago)

you've never smoked blunts

― jaxon (jaxon), Monday, 15 January 2007 07:02 (nineteen years ago)

Was where/when for/at me Vahid?
I split in 2005. Was in Ocean Beach last. We were running shows out of my house on Voltaire there for a while.

― Jumping Into Jesus (wolfwolfwolf), Monday, 15 January 2007 07:04 (nineteen years ago)

shasta, are you going to this? the 10" i heard by them is insanely good.

― chicago kevin (chicago kevin), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 17:42 (nineteen years ago)

he should! agreed, that 10" is the business.
