@Seul:

Thanks t_w_e!.. My mate's response. Not that I wanna drag this out or make a drama about it (Seth exaggerates the situation a bit in his description), just something I had actually never thought about, but he makes a good point… I'd rather not support a homophobic, racist b*stard such as Mugabi y'know... 

_Did some more reading since that first post. The situation for cotton farmers in Zimbabwe is dismal at best. They're waaaay underpaid for their crops, as the exports are either handled by Cottco or Cargill, both huge corporations. So farmers are often paid less than the price necessary to even break even.

As for the US ag industry, I too live right in the middle of it. Your dude isn't wrong; it's not pretty for a lot if families. Corporate exploitation by Monsanto etc, has driven most of them into the red. But that's a rotten comparison. If an American farm family hits bottom, they get food stamps and wear thrift clothing. Maybe lose their home. If a Zimbabwean farm family hits bottom, they die of starvation before the AIDS that a quarter of the country's population has can get them.

I think your guys are probably choosing quality cotton over social responsibility. Which, I mean, is their decision. Just means that I'll have to shop for retardedly expensive jeans elsewhere. Haha. Thanks for the Samurai link, on that note!_

Definitely food for thought!!

Weird. I can't access to the forum on my computer. It says that it's under maintenance, and that the forum is moving to another server.

I'm using my mobile now.

I still can't get in. Anyone facing the same problem?

Just curious to find out, how important is the detailing of a chainstitch as opposed to a lockstitch to you for the jean hem? (general question to everyone who feels like replying  :))

[Beatle]

to me it's essential

[Beatle]

or to rephrase it - not chainstitching the hem feels like riding a car with 3 wheels

[that_was_easy]

Roping is sweet and so chainstitching is crucial.

That is the reason that is holding me back on hemming my jeans.
