Hey Tate+Yoko,

Could I get some sizing advice on the Elephants?  My only point of reference are N&F Indigo Selvedge WGs in size 30.  When I first got them, they were incredibly tight, and I was barely able to button them up.  After a couple weeks, they have loosened up considerably and fit me pretty much perfectly.  I'm looking to pick up a pair of Elephant 2s, but I'm uncertain as to whether I should get them in 30 or 31.  Thoughts?

Go with size 30 IMO.

Secondly, when you do soak them and they shrink to a 30-31 or so, I would say you'll still be good, but likely won't be cuffing them, assuming you do now.

I don't cuff them. The inseam is just long enough right now. If the inseam shrinks at all they will be too short.

Really? So am I. If you don't mind me asking, where are you in relation to Rochester?

I'm near Utica, so much further east but at the same latitude.

Are you at a very small liberal arts college that begins with an H?

im in toronto too and noticed i can only wear them up to 25 degrees celsius but when i was in hk i wore them up to 29 and it was alright too.  definitely hard to be year round jeans but it depends on where youre from.

i still get cold in the winter but notice it insulates better than lighter denim

Anyone got any more information on the N&F vintage terry cardigan?  

I'm picky when it comes to cardigans and these look pretty nice and simple.

Fit pics would be awesome, or any kind of info in general really.

Really?? Damn that's a let down.  Crappy even for $80?

I wouldn't say it keeps me warm - so far it's only been as low as -3 or so though. But it certainly doesn't make me feel as cold as I would be had I been wearing a lighter pents.

Finally, it's definitely dark indigo, and not black, however the photos online may make it seem. It's my first pair of jeans that cost over $60, and I'm really enjoying wearing them.

Edit: Looks like I replied to the wrong person, sorry about that.

Thanks a lot, just the sort of stuff I was looking to know (stiffness, color, warmth, etc.)

Not sure if this is the right place to post about Unbranded but since it's made by the same guys as N&F I figured I'd ask. I bought a pair a few months ago that fit great but I had to return them because the pockets were so damn small. It was incredible difficult to get my phone and wallet out of the pockets. Does anyone know if this has been fixed?
