wow
laugh I love your questions...
Laser-friendly fabrics
With denim giants like Levi’s moving forward with laser finishing, mills emphasized fabrics that are laser compatible in 2019.

Naveena’s X.0 collection touted laser-sensitive fabrics dubbed Beam Denim. The fabrics are specifically designed for laser applications, allowing for easy chip-off and reduced finishing time. Additionally, the mill says the fabrics are easy on the environment, saving on energy and water and eliminating harsh chemicals.



"Beam" me up Johnny!!wink Jim Beam drinking
Unfortunately ...Levi's has gone the way of Rockefeller, pol Pot & Joe Biden.

One wash ( 1 for cryin out loud ) in cold water !

And you get a white streak from thigh to knee cap..
...and leaving this Boomer deeply encrankled.
5 washes & the "blue-jeans" are speckled & funky
Not like the 501's of 1970.
grin 70s




Hi JohnnyS
I have Blue, White and Orange Jeans.
And my favorite is...



WHITE..!! head banger

PS
Hey, how have you been doing? wine
Originally, something to do how the indigo dye bonded with the cotton fibers. I remember in high school washing them about 10 times before you'd dare wear them. dunno
Happy Birthday Ash.

A little Jim Beam is your flavor? I had a couple of beers tonight...literally, a couple. I was just too tired tonight. Bert and I went out for a night on the town. We had some fun....we always do. :)

Thank you for your shared information.

When I think of jeans, I think blue....they even call them blue jeans. I know some of the first Levis over 100 years old were blue. It is something how that color just stuck and people seem to be magnetically attracted to it...for so long even.

dunno

Agent...interesting. I used to always buy Levis...but I have not now for the past 10 years or so. I like shopping online and getting some of the unique brands that are not available around me. That is nice to know about Levis though...maybe there was a reason why I decided to bypass them in the stores. Actually...I like, I used to buy Levis Silver...but I noticed the denim was very thin and would not last long....seemed to tear easily. I did like them but I don't buy them because of the lack of quality. I can spend $100 much better on a pair of something else....other than their low quality stuff.

wave
Ash...thanks for the songs. thumbs up
Hmmm Loh...so it was to do with the dye. I get that.

For example...you go into a second hand store, most of the men's jeans are blue.....I would venture to say most of the women's too. It seems as we as a culture have just accepted that. Or maybe, most of the jeans stores sell are just blue. dunno

wave cheers

Mr. Greenjeans tried to make green jeans cool, but somehow it didn't catch on.

My first pair of levi's were bright red!
1980!
Skinny fit!
They went in a cupboard for years through different 'jeans' shape fashion till skinny jeans came into fashion and.I dag them out in the late 90's early 2000!
Still fitted into them and wore them till they fell apart some years back!

No matter what other colour jeans I have (blue, black, turquoise, purple, grey) I always own a pain of red ones!

Mr. Head to Toe Denim,
grin
Don't change a thing about your style.

BTW Thanks.
Nope, this light weight had one glass of wine
with a friend.Her birthday was the week before
mine, it was really just to say Cheers to her.
I don't know why. But jeans are too common for me. rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing

Just kidding.

But I have a blue pair that I never wear. I prefer linen trousers that are more comfortable. I don't like the feeling of denim against my skin.


Hi Johnny wave
Lovely pics Kal...they look good on you. Thanks for sharing. :)
Thanks for the history Jac. It seems as if money is the motivation behind our hidden obsession with the blue jean....at least partially for sure.

thumbs up

Soon...I wonder why the green didn't catch on. laugh It think green would be okay for certain occasions...but not every single piece of clothing. lol

wave
Sele...bright red. wow You know, some vintage Levis can be worth a lot of money. Perhaps if you owned the only bright red pair to exist. laugh tongue

wave
Usually on the bottom half Ash. laugh
Hello Ms. Usha....perhaps that is the secret to your youthful beauty. grin

We are on 24 hr evacuation notice for the city of Ashland, Oregon starting immediately as there are high winds and another fire on the outskirts.
help
My family has all notified each other of our meeting place and I have an elder friend who does not drive I will wait with.
Every entrance to Ashland is packed bumper to bumper with Semi-trailer Trucks.( possibly the Interstate is temporarily closed).

It is still extremely windy, heading away from town.
Our high school is an appointed emergency shelter.
There has been one helicopter that was dumping but the winds and the proximity to traffic.dunno
My friend got home said she was flanked by 4 foot
flames and had to go with the flow.

It has become a huge mushroom cloud and might circle back when evening comes.At 3 a.m. we woke to the smell of smoke and sunrise was hazy.
It is clear due to direction of the winds.

Local ranchers are seeking higher ground as workers get the early start towards home, into the fire zone before it closes to grab overnight bags.
Others were watering the periphery of homes.
In the video 3 separate homes were engulfed.
Still hearing copters as I write, our firefighters were sent in hours ago.
Oops upload complete

Lots of equestrian centers, boarding, small livestock
in this area.And grow ops.(hemp harvest started)
On holiday the day before, at the Prospect waterfalls and Crater Lake National Park.
Please pray..
Goodness Ash...stay safe and always be alert. I have heard story were people were caught off guard.

Thank you Secret...

I am curious, what is the issue with putting jeans in a dryer?

wave
prayers going out to you Ash.
Am the only one who re-dyes his Blue Jeans when they start getting pale?
Cotton shrinks with heat. So blue jeans should be air dried to slow shrinkage.
The destruction is very similar to the path of tornados: power lines down and gas mains broken with small fires popping up in the embers.
There is really no where to go, as the vicinity has forest fires up the main route , the I-5 goes from California to Washington.

I hope to fly out asap once the airports can verify my flights.

P.S. my sister in Georgia has completed her surgery and has recovery ahead but did exceptional well.

Thank you for all the prayers.
