Thanks! They are a size 27, hemmed to about 34". I'm 1.76m and 62 kg by the way... Sorry for the metric system values... I'm a dutch man =)

having owned both, I will say both will win in their own way. Though personally I sold the somets because of the low-ass rise.

So Mlyngard, how are your FH's going?

Here, nothing post worthy yet. Though the combs start to settle and begin to fade a little bit... And my knees get some real torture sometimes at work. Apart from that not much, must say we're just started.

Right on! I'd love to see multiple-stage showdowns here. Would be really cool.

They're already white. It's all the lumberjacking. They're just becoming soft and taking on some real shape. Need to wade through some weekend action pics and will post. Don't want to put anyone to sleep yet.

You don't mind if I throw my Atelier La Durance Prescott Selvage into the running? They've probably got a week of straight wear.

Hm. Well, Mistral and I have this old thang going between just us, but I just started this thread, I def. don't consider it mine. You got someone who wants to go head-to-head with you? If so, throw it up here. More the merrier in my book, brother.

Progress pics. Day 10. Nothing extreme. Girlfriend was here for four days, so these saw a few days off ;-)
