swif1 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) Anyone have a vegetable tanned leather belt in natural color? Though I'm convinced that's obligatory when owning raws. Might pick up another Billykirk Mechanic's Belt in black that's a size smaller since it's on sale. Considering punching a new hole in my Tanner Goods belt too 🤔 edit: Just remembered my original question: Any of y'all adjust/fix your staxxx or am I just weird? 🤣 Edited September 17, 2020 by swif1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hemmed and tapered the RRL's pictured above but I went the n00b/ cheap route and got the taper done through my local dry cleaner/ alteration AZN spot. I told her specifically I wanted the taper on the inseam and the bitch did it on the outside thus no more selvedge line. I almost shed a tear. fuck I'm still pissed to this day. For the hem job, I had it done at the RRL store on W Broadway and they fucked that shit up as well, the chainstitch was all over the place, prolly cuz the denim was still raw without first soak. My other pair of RRL's that I hemmed and tapered, I went though a shop called Loren in Greenpoint Brooklyn. Top notch job and I get all my alterations and repairs through them. a bit pricey for the taper ($75) but the piece of mind of having it done the right way was worth it. Does anybody have any experience with black denim? My 3sixteens are black but I gained some weight and they've been sitting on ice after only a couple of wears. gives me motivation to lose this covid weight. I wonder if it will fade gray or brown.... need answers. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a lot of black jeans and believe it would fade to a really dull black. You're the first person who I came across who've use the freezer method unless you meant it figuratively. Everyone I've met always said they've "heard" it works. Imo, it'd be best to do soaks to wash them as opposed to the washer. Alternatively, you can use the dry cleaners. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swif1 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 @CLICKCLACKONERTIL rope dyeing is what allows the jeans to have a white center (of the yarn).

swif1 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Thank you for sharing those videos. I had dinner watching them. I like the Sapporo one and decided to pass on 3Sixteens. Hit up their shop then decided I'm going to stick to 3Sixteens. 🤣🥴😔 crazy to see how labor intensive it is.
