Got the jeans in last night, sz 31 #50. Denim looks nice, good light feel, quality color. Will have to wear some dark shirts for a while because some indigo came off onto my fingers just from trying on the jeans.
I could have gone either 31 or 32, but 32 was sold out when I went to the store last week, and I missed the two pairs two days ago.... oh well, I hope they stretch just a little, my nuts will be happy when that happens... unless someone wants to meet up in DC to exchange a 32 for a 31, hehe. Prolly start wearing these after camping this weekend.

Def wait until after the weekend to wear them. There may be some folks that didn't get there jeans yet and might want to trade.

nvm.

is it reasonable that my USPS tracking hasn't updated at all yet? still only says they received electronic shipping info for the 23rd.

I forget what day it shipped out, but mine updated only yesterday, catching up on a few days of activity. That is just the way it is. Given where the package tracked to yesterday, I expect arrival today.

Yeah I wouldn't sweat it. USPS tracking sucks, you guys will probably receive the denim today ;]

 

[cchen]

That's the only update I got, and they actually just arrived just now. Don't lose hope!

i just woke up.I am sick. Was suppose to meet Kunk for Breakfast...sorry bro.


DENIM NOTES
a. the jean will stretch some like all do but I told everyone TTS
b. there shouldn't be problems with swapping with other forum members
c. IMPORTANT PLEASE READ

do not soak or get these wet. Break these bad boys in until the sheen disappears which will not take long.
I am going to see ( hopefully) henry wong from cone mills ( loom chatter <---his blog you should read)
or at least speak with him view some new denim.

Best,
Mauro

I love how right from the get-go these have constantly been referred to as "bad boys"
