    Calling all LLBean Katahdin Iron Works Boots owners

    I actually returned my first pair because the upper part of the boot was digging into the back of my leg/ankle. I compared the right and left side and the side that was bothering me was angled in more towards my leg (hence the digging). My new pair feels just fine. I haven't completely broken...

    I usually lace up to the 2nd from the top. I think they all come with some light scuffs. Both pairs that I received had a little. Mine have been attracting dust... I've been thinking abouut applying some leather protector, but I want to keep the color they are now..

    Levi's 511,510 and 519 Jeans. What's the differences in fit?

    Hexagram, that's interesting that the 511's were baggy for you on the bottom. The 511's that fit well on my waist were baggy through my thighs and knees and tight on my calves. It sounds like it's pretty tough to gauge what fits you unless you are able to try it on or get the measurements...

    What's the deal with this guy in the bathroom? (Public Bathroom Etiquette)

    Reminds me of someone at my work who's been covering the toilet seat with, I swear, 10+ layers of toilet paper/seat covers on the toilet and not disposing of it. It's disgusting to walk in on it, and it was especially disgusting when one day there was a big spot of blood on it. It looked like...

    Would you buy a Chinese car?

    As of right now, no. I've recently started warming up to Korean cars, but I still don't see myself buying one anytime soon. How can 1/6 of the world's population NOT produce a good car? It should happen eventually, but what's the current problem that China is facing? I think that's the real...

    Naked and famous denim

    second... 34" inseam would be monstrously long on my stumpy legs. I'm thinking about eventually getting some weird guys, but I'm pretty sure I would need to hem them to somewhere between 30-32"... Thanks for the advice above to leave about 1" to allow for some shrinkage.

    Calling all LLBean Katahdin Iron Works Boots owners

    Thanks for the reply. I just received my 2nd pair (replacement), and brand new it looks darker than my 1st pair that I only wore for one day. I think once the leather gets worn in a little, the color turns lighter. I need to oil mine.. but I don't think I'll do that for a few months. I...

    Calling all LLBean Katahdin Iron Works Boots owners

    I personally don't see much of a difference between the "new" Katahdins and the ones earlier in this thread. I see a difference between the Katahdins that people put oil/leather protection on and Katahdins that have been worn for a long time, but I do see similar pictures earlier in this thread...

    The Uniqlo Thread

    It's just weird that parts like the neck, cuffs, and shoulders are all smaller for "slim" fit. It's more like slim and small fit... lol My girlfriend probably thought I would fit into the slim fit since I'm a pretty slim guy. Maybe Asians in Asia are super skinny.

    The Uniqlo Thread

    Just wondering if any of you have experience with Asian vs US/UK sizing.. I bought a couple XS dress shirts from the NYC SoHo store in March 2010, which fit fairly well (neck/sleeve length/shirt length/shoulders/a bit too wide around the stomach though). My girlfriend bought me a "slim" dress...

    The Official Los Angeles Shopping + Dining Thread

    I miss California burritos in SD in all their greasy, definitely not good for you goodness. I haven't tried Burrito King, but maybe I should... My friends rave about the carne asada fries at some places here in LA but I think they taste horrible. I miss my SD sort-of-Mexican food.

    Unexpected encounters with celebrities

    I saw Adam Sandler a few years ago in Pasadena. My family was hanging out in front of this Japanese restaurant waiting for everyone to get there, and Adam Sandler says, "Excuse me" to my sister who was standing right in front of the outside menu. I've seen others, but that was the closest...

    Finally a viable barefoot style dress shoe?

    It's interesting, definitely not my thing though. I can see how some people would agree with the guy, but I'm not so sure how big of a market there actually is.. Barefoot running guys who need dress shoes, guys who like Vibrams but need dress shoes, and who else?

    Calling all LLBean Katahdin Iron Works Boots owners

    edit: Nevermind. I called LL Bean, and they're sending me a replacement pair. Here's to hoping that the new ones don't hurt my leg. Great customer service on behalf of LL Bean by the way.. As long as it's better than the first pair, I'm pretty sure it will be just fine after breaking them...
