i think hitman indicated in an email that they're going until the end of the month for the deadstock so you may be able to still get a pair if ask nicely in an email to him

I've been in email contact with Hitman this week. They didn't have the resin in a 34 length, only the pre-distressed. At first I decided against it, but when I thought about it, I decided that they were roughly the price of Earnest Sewn or washed Nudies, which I was also considering, so I'm in the process of getting a pair in the LDB.

You won't regret it. I received my 31X34 LDB Dark Worns last week and absolutely love them. The distressing is miles ahead of anything Earnest Sewn or Nudie in particular have put out.

Yea, in an email yesterday Hitman said that he had the 32x34, and I'm just waiting to see if he emails me with ordering instructions today. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I think LDB in raw or resin in 32 length may be something you want to consider as well. Both of mine measured well over 32, a bit over 34" for the raw and around 33.5" or so for the resin.

Well, for summer I like the pre-distressed a bit better anyways, so I figure I'll try these, see how I like them, and assuming they are sweet, just not eat the week I decide to pull the trigger on the resin at full price (once the new stock hits stores, that is).

Not complaining really, but I sent Hitman a couple of emails a couple of weeks ago and never got a reply. After not receiving a reply I emailed Godmother and she replied right away and told me she would have Hitman email me when he checked stock. Well, I never got a reply so I guess that's that. I know they are not a store per se and didn't want to make a nuisance of myself with constant barrage of emails.

They're probably just really busy. I actually had to wait over three weeks from I made the payment until the jeans were actually shipped out.. But in the end, it was definitely worth the wait!

You just have to be persistent and email them every few days and eventually they will send out your product, for 50% off...

Humble apologies. The weather is finally warm and Hitman has been super busy with bikes...he builds / repairs motorcycles when I am not driving him crazy about 5EP. I swear we will get all orders out and reply to all emails shortly.

Just please be patient...also Lil Hitman keeps us super busy too...

I don't know if anyone's interested, but Oak has a pair of LDB's on sale for $69.00. The only problem is that they're a waist size 38(if only...34 or even 36!), but, for the humongous amongst us, I don't think you'll get a better jean at a better price---periodhttp://www.oaknyc.com/men/warehouse/...w-down-bootcut
