@umichvoter A more apt comparison would be to previous SCOWI elections, where Dems have outperformed their November election results consistently. The delta would be less or maybe even zero.
@lucyveepee@dieworkwear Yes, generally. There's a range of quality in both, but generally selvedge is made on older looms that create more interesting textures.
@PyratHouseAJ@dieworkwear Besides the shops mentioned, some tailors specialize in fixing jeans. I have big thighs and minimal rear end -- so I get tight legs or diaper seat. Denim Therapy in NYC has worked magic for me.
@lucyveepee@dieworkwear All denim used to be selvedge, with a built-in band to prevent unraveling. But around 1980 manufacturers switched to wider looms, so selvage was less practical. They had to cut the fabric in the middle, making a "selvedge edge" irrelevant.
@dieworkwear Solid thread. Only one thing to add: If you really want a traditional, authentic experience, you have to go unsanforized, aka shrink-to-fit, fabric. The feel is better IMO, and you get more interesting "roping" effects on chainstitched hems.
@harrisondubay It's going to take more than this for buyer's remorse to set in, unfortunately. Most Trump voters aren't following appointments and policy discussions.
Loudoun County seems to be a data error - it went down to 96% reported after it showed 99% reported in WaPo. It seems like in NovA EV votes also come last and they usually report late, so most likely the reported figure is a data error
@jedidiah_io@dieworkwear True, but the point is that there are less expensive makers in the U.S. than Tellason, Raleigh, etc. And if the fabric in a $75 pair costs $20, the tariff would raise the $75 total to $80, still about what imported Levi's cost now.
