UNIQLO on sale

Just a gentle modest one. *slap* Calm down. Don't go all crazy.



Went to UNIQLO to get some basics wear like tees and polos. Turns out that they were on sale. The crowd there thinned down to a reasonable level, unlike when it first opened.

Some of the staff needs more training though. When asked what makes their selvage denim different from their normal ones, I was told that selvage denim have the frays and are harder. omg. So far from the truth.

Selvage denim (also called selvedge denim) is a type of denim which forms a clean natural edge that does not unravel. It is commonly presented in the unwashed or raw state. Typically, the selvage edges will be located along the out-seam of the pants, making it visible when cuffs are worn. Although selvage denim is not completely synonymous with unwashed denim, the presence of selvage typically implies that the denim used is a higher quality.

The word "selvage" comes from the phrase "self-edge", the natural edge of a roll of fabric. As applied to denim, it means that which is made on old-style shuttle looms. These looms weave fabric with one continuous cross thread (the weft) that is passed back and forth all the way down the length of the bolt. As the weft loops back into the edge of the denim it creates this “self-edge” or Selvage. Selvage is desirable because the edge can’t fray like lower grade denims that have separate wefts which leave an open edge that must be stitched. Shuttle looming is a more time-consuming weaving process that produces denim of a tighter weave resulting in a heavier weight fabric that lasts.

In response to increased demand for jeans in the 1950's, American denim manufacturers replaced the old shuttle style looms with modern projectile looms. The new looms produced fabric faster and wider (60-inches or wider), though lighter and less durable. Synthetic dyeing techniques along with post-dye treatments were introduced to control shrink and twist.

learn, bitches. Don't try to smoke me lar abang.

And they got agyness deyn for the ads?

we're not albino. look at our brows

they should have cut cost and went with some lesser known Japanese models. Cuter, cheaper, more kimochi and more true to the Jap feel. Maybe their going in another direction. How about Ayumi? We know she does ads very well.
