congrats! the fit is good on you. how's the waist been treating you so far? imo, they might need hemming.

i think it's just the angle cuz pockets are bit spread apart and wrap close to the sides... as in, FC 0105-esque.

thanks! the waist is snug. TTS 32. i think i probably could squeeze into a 31 also but these are stiff and snug enough that it's making my hips sore. i slept in them, too, since i passed out on the couch and it seemed to loosen the waist up a bit. i'm gonna wear them a while and let them loosen up before i make any hemming decisions.

i'm definitely gonna keep a cuff on them because i want to see how it contrasts as the blue starts coming out.

i took mine in for a small hem (1.5" down to 34 inseam) and the lady looked like she was gonna lay an egg while she was examining the denim.

Why? Did she have a turd-sniffing look, or the hernia look (I know both). Just got the humorous 'huh?' looks today from my tailor while asking for a taper. Told him I was sending elsewhere for the hem and chainstitch. He sorta 'got' it, but chalked me up to one of those denim weirdos. And he usually gets it.

I'm jealous of you guys and eager to see how these shape up. Also hoping this'll become a contest-like fade-pic threak.

Kiya,

Just wanted to give props to you for all the collabs you do. Seems like every product you push out is top quality, really professional.

You are practically the denim king in North America.
