well what i meant by obvious reasons is that the holes seemed to me to be a much easier fix than the stitching issues with some of us missing stitching altogether or it being lose in an entire area. chainstitching on top or removing it and then doing it can't be that quick, so thats why i already assumed it would take longer.

but your not left in the dark. ive called the store and emailed about them and got prompt responses. i emailed first after the 1.5-2week mark and the store told me that they hadn't shipped mine to chad yet because they were fixing holes first then dealing with those of us with stitching problems. then i called this past week and the dude told me that they were in chads hands and he would be shippign them back to me as soon as he was finished with them. again i can only assume my jeans are in the same boat as yours. so he told me by end of next week i should have them back.

so if your that upset and worried call the store or email them. they LOVE answering our constant questions and hearing our bickering.

they just ask politely not to PM mauro as hes busy with wolf vs goat!!! ... cant wait for those btw

DISCLAIMER: if you are an absolute nerd who cares about things like "soaking" and "fades" and needs them to be perfect and does things like turn a light switch three times when entering and leaving a room, saying a hail mary before and after you wash your hands, or refresh a webpage ten times before you actually view it, then you should probably call the store and ask a million questions to payman or nathan.

however, if you fall into the other category (95% of people), and want a low-priced, well-fitting, limited-edition jean, then by all means, add this to your cart.

Pretty hard to add them to your cart when they're sold out.

Hey Guys,

We received a box from Farinelli's yesterday with jeans and they are currently being repaired. People who sent jeans direct to SS should have received them back by now. I will update again when the jeans get shipped out.

thanks,

Chad

Bobby,
just send the jeans back and ask for a refund. it's that simple.


Sorry about the delay. we have shipped out all the jeans for the most part either back to their owners or to chad for more serious repairs.

if someone could please post chads address just in case anyone needs repairs they can send them straight to him.
Best,
Mauro

Just received my pair and I think I'm in love. I bought TTS and they probably couldn't fit any better. A little tight in the hips/upper thighs but I'm sure that'll stretch out in no time. Well done, Mauro!

Love my pair, debating whether to pick up one of those 31's, only thing holding me back is I don't like sizing down. and for anyone who has complaints, you should just call.

I'm surprised there are 31s left, they were the best size out of all of them
