From the article:</p> <blockquote><p> Let’s all admit it, soaking and drying your 501’s is a huge part of the appeal of these pants. It’s the personal touch and the messiness and the smell of wet denim and the looks your significant other or friends give you when you tell them of bathing in your new blue jeans. What seems to be always true though, is if someone asks — and sometimes even if they don’t — you are eager to share the story of your shrink to fits starting with that initial soak.</p> <p>So why not make it an interesting story? Here are some great ideas — some mine, some from the readers — of ways to start your jeans off with an adventure and a good story to boot.</p> </blockquote> http://forums.nedsferatu.com/topic/re-using-forms-in-wordpress-posts-and-pages#post-110 Tue, 17 Feb 2009 16:30:55 +0000 Ned 110@http://forums.nedsferatu.com/ <p>Discussion for the post <a href="http://blog.nedsferatu.com/using-forms-in-wordpress-posts-and-pages">Using Forms in Wordpress Posts and Pages</a>. From the article:</p> <p><blockquote>I recently made a simple tool to help folks buy the right size of of Levi’s 501xx Shrink to Fit Jeans. It includes a form that takes two numbers as inputs then performs some logic and returns the results on the same page. It was surprisingly easy to do but took me a surprisingly long time to figure out so I hope this explanation of how I did it will be helpful for others!</blockquote></p> <p>For more see the <a href="http://blog.nedsferatu.com/using-forms-in-wordpress-posts-and-pages">full article</a>! </p> http://forums.nedsferatu.com/topic/re-adding-google-adsense-custom-search-to-wordpress#post-109 Tue, 17 Feb 2009 16:29:05 +0000 Ned 109@http://forums.nedsferatu.com/ <p>Discussion for the article <a href="http://blog.nedsferatu.com/adding-google-adsense-custom-search-to-wordpress">Adding Google Adsense Custom Search to Wordpress</a>. From the Post:</p> <p><blockquote>So, Adsense has a newish custom search tool for adding to your sites which I rather like. It is flexible and can be embedded easier than the previous searches. The major benefit is the ability to have the search results display on a results page of your choice rather than a standard full page Google-looking results page. This of course means seemless integration with your theme and generally better user experience.</blockquote></p> <p>For more see the <a href="http://blog.nedsferatu.com/adding-google-adsense-custom-search-to-wordpress">full article</a>! </p> http://forums.nedsferatu.com/topic/re-sizes-and-levis-501xx-shrink-to-fit-jeans#post-103 Mon, 16 Feb 2009 21:13:32 +0000 Ned 103@http://forums.nedsferatu.com/ <p>Discussion of the article <a href="http://blog.nedsferatu.com/sizes-and-levis-501xx-shrink-to-fit-jeans">Sizes and Levi’s 501xx Shrink to Fit Jeans</a>.</p> <p>From the post:<br /> <blockquote>Admittedly, buying the right size of 501xx Shrink to Fit jeans is not the easiest task since they change so drastically when they shrink. However, with a bit of practice and help a lot of the mystery and variability can be eliminated. Of course, like in many things, experience is king; luckily a pair of 501’s won’t break the bank if you mess up (usually about $35) so experimentation is always recommended. Getting the exact right size can make the difference between a pair that is ok and a pair that you love.</blockquote></p> <p>for more see the <a href="http://blog.nedsferatu.com/sizes-and-levis-501xx-shrink-to-fit-jeans">full article</a>. </p> http://forums.nedsferatu.com/topic/re-levi%e2%80%99s-501xx-shrink-to-fit-faq#post-15 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 16:33:29 +0000 Ned 15@http://forums.nedsferatu.com/ <p>Discussion of the article: <a href="//blog.nedsferatu.com/levis-501xx-shrink-to-fit-faq">Levi’s 501XX Shrink to Fit FAQ</a>. From the article:</p> <blockquote><p> Boy oh boy, I’ll tell you I really had no idea. When I wrote the first Howto on shrinking Levi’s 501xx Shrink to Fit (STF) blue jeans I had no clue what a huge and fun topic it really was! I still feel like the 501xx is the best value in jeans out there today and certainly the most personal experience when compared to the pre-washed variety. Plus — and I don’t care how much you pay for them — new jeans that are manufactured with a “already worn” look will never look as good as a pair of well loved 501’s.</p> <p>On just the two articles I have gotten close to 200 comments and questions from really insightful, curious, and knowledgeable people. Together I think we have all learned a lot about jeans based on our own experience and the research that everyone has put into it. I felt like it was about time to post another article with the highlights from these discussions. Keep commenting and keep breaking in those jeans!</p> </blockquote> http://forums.nedsferatu.com/topic/re-howto-shrink-levi%e2%80%99s-501-shrink-to-fit-jeans-part-2#post-14 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 16:31:01 +0000 Ned 14@http://forums.nedsferatu.com/ <p>Discussion of the article: <a href="//blog.nedsferatu.com/501_shrink_to_fit_2">Howto Shrink Levi’s 501 Shrink to Fit Jeans Part 2</a>.

I achieved the best pants I had ever owned and wore them exclusively for almost a year (the picture shows newly shrunk ones with my old faithfuls. No one believes me when I tell them that they were once the same color).Heavily worn 501's and almost new ones 501’s by design feel roomier then they look which is the reason they are so comfortable and stylish. A button fly and $40 a pair seals the deal. If you haven’t tried them I’d highly recommend it. It is fun to do and you get jeans in the end that feel like they were made just for you.
