Everything is impermanent, so I knew this day would come. But I was still dreading it. Bought these when they came out, what, 4 years ago now? And they quickly became my favorite and most worn pants ever. I still stand by these being the best pants 18 east has ever put out. Have just loved them more as they've aged, especially as they've faded so much the thighs are basically down to natural khadi. They have better fades then any of my denim. :(

Anyways, does anyone know where I could ship these to get them stitched/patched and reinforced so i can get another 4+ years out of them? They look too damn awesome to retire. Something like https://www.instagram.com/naritabby/ in the US, or does he take US clients? @NickPollica I know you already have my espresso namdaks (suffered from a similar fate) in the shop so do you have any ideas/suggestions?

Going namdak-less for awhile is going to be rough.

No ideas on the repair but these look incredible. Did the brown pair also fade like this?

Did anyone else get the new Eides and find them to be a little smaller than the old Eides in the same size? The rise/hips/seat seem tighter for me.
Update: For this round of Eides, XL fits like past L. Maybe they got sewn up differently this time--the interior finishing is definitely different.

ISO XXL Kaden Dark Chocolate pant if anyone decides theirs isn’t for them. Sold out instantly on site. Tried my luck in studio, great customer service but ultimately had to size down and unsure they’ll fit as i’m hoping 😓
