These are around 12-12.25 oz:

The engineers at British Petroleum are working around the clock on a solution.

This is what they have so far:

If this fails, however, they might have to lower what they call a "top hat" on it to contain the damage.

Moo, I think you are buying your jeans too big. I'm not a skinny jean kid at all, but those look too big all the way down the leg. I think a slim straight leg would look much better. I like some anti-fit 501 repro types, but I feel like they really should be sized down. They look like nice denim though if that's the look you are going for.

prps baracudas i believe are similar to the impala fit, which is supposed to be a more antifit relaxed style at his correct waist.

Where is the best place to buy them currently?

What is the consensus with sizing? I read one or two sizes down from usual sizing for APC, but also read they will stretch a bit with wear?

Thanks
