Answer:
I think it's a very good idea. I'll add in some of mine when I get the chance.
Answer:
great idea. we could create a new permanent topic like jeans terminology. Really useful.
Answer:
Um, there already is a thread for that... Look up.
Answer:
I think he meant similar to the denim terminology thread, not that we should create a denim terminology thread.
Answer:
yes, that's what I meant
Answer:
edit : top.
Answer:
I always wanted to start something like this. Great idea. That way one could more intelligently order clothing online sans trying stuff on.
There should be true-size databases for other articles of clothing too, especially shirts and shoes.
Answer:
Topic has been pinned. Thanks for the idea, Luc. To make this easier for new people, would you mind editing your post so that all of the jeans you're showing are in the main thread, in a list manner similar to your reply with the Helmut Langs? When a different user posts measurements for their jeans, you can just edit the post again and add the new info.
