"98% cotton, 2% elastane. They double panel the fabric on the thigh and below the knee. Having excess fabric there will make a big difference in terms of your comfortability."

"The Levi 505 is over 50 years old. 10 out of 10. I still think is a pretty good deal for a pair of selvedge denim. For those who care about the nuances in their clothing, I think it's an interesting option."

"One is if let's say YKK doesn't have a strong presence in that specific region... Sometimes like YKK takes a little longer."

"A lot of people who've run marathons will know this, that chafing on your nipples can be an issue where it will cause bleeding over time."

"As for the design, the 514 is basically a 501 without a buttonfly. They've been here forever. 10 out of 10."

"How do you create open work material like AS6 uses in their Meta Run shirts? Is it just woven in some intricate way or do they perforate the fabric to match the pattern?"

"PFAS, how much leashes off cheaper or more expensive versions of clothes? It's really going to be there for its water repellency. It's an older technology and a lot of mainstream more well-known brands have already moved on to newer technologies."

"What goes into making really good synthetics? Do new fabric designs usually start as a concept or are they based on the abilities of machines?"
