Small questions thread

Does anyone know of any dye experts or businesses that offer garment dyeing services? Preferably around the San Francisco Bay Area in California, but if they are further but would allow me to ship the item to them, that would work too. The dye job I want to do is a bit particular and seems complex to me, so I don't think I would be able to do it on my own as I wouldn't know where to start.

Haha, no worries DG. I hadn't think of N&F. Was never big on them but they have pairs with stretch so I'll have a look. thanks!

is the crotch too low on P11?

I always just wear jeans with strech when I ride a bike. I got tired of being picky with brands when it comes to denim, plenty of options

The pattern makes it a bit weird and with the number of p11 and p13 online with crotch blowouts I just don't want to prematurely destroy them, I'm not enough of a baller ;) I'm leaning towards that as well.

Thanks all!

Pinned on top of this forum. I guess I should keep bumping it since people don't seem to see it?

Okay maybe that will sound like the most ridiculous question but it seems I'll start to do a lot of cycling from mid-summer onward. Now I wear P11 (which don't seem to be cycling friendly) or swingers almost exclusively and I'm looking for alternatives that will look like something that I would normally wear but that could take extensive wear due to cycling. Veilance doesn't fit me, outlier looks a bit too simple for me ... Any thoughts?

the "weightless" DNA Jeans for the upcoming SS17 season may be perfect for you

a shade under 9 ounces in total weight, made of 63% Cotton// 32% Polyester and 5% elastin.

its incredibly light, very durable and with 5% Stretch very comfortable

I cycle in my Devoa jeans pretty frequently. The anatomic cut moves well and the legs are tight enough that nothing gets caught on the cycle. I just ride around town and commute though. Obviously for serious road cycling I'll wear real cycling gear.

Can someone explain me why some brands are not on the official fashion show schedule, but are having a show? In the current Paris FW for instance there are some brands that will have a show, but I can't find the on the schedule from modeaparis.com.
Is it because they applied too late to be on the schedule? Or is it a money thing, since these are mostly smaller brands/labels?

From my understanding (this is just hearsay), the federation that operates the official agenda is rather stuck up and bureaucratic so there are plenty of things during fashion week that are not part of the official schedule.

Modemonline covers plenty of the "unofficial" events

I need a piece to match with that leather
ill analyze

[jurassicsnark]

I did a search but nothing came up, so I'll just ask: Anyone ever shopped with Tessabit?
They have a piece I'm looking for but was wondering if people had good experiences with them.

Edited to add: Thanks, Lowrey. That's the sort of info I was looking for.

I bought something from there through Farfetch, no issues. Don't have any experience with their own online store, but I imagine it works just fine, it's an established group of stores.

could someone in the UK help me with a simple package forwarding? just needs to be received from a UK store and shipped onwards, preferably with Royal Mail

If you're not in a rush, I have a friend coming to visit the US from London in early April. He'd almost certainly be willing to bring it to the States, and is be happy to post it the rest of the way. Just PM me if interested.

Maybe a better place for this, but, I've fallen in love with Biek Verstappen's work. So far our relationship has only been online. Anybody own or handle her pieces?
