Yeah, I did decide to soak. They started to develop an odour. Not that they were really stinky, but I like fresh clothes. And if they are fine for another 4 months, then nothing is wrong with it I guess.

Though maybe I might wash them next time.

Saw the Naked & Famus collab jeans at the Barney's Co-Op today. They looked very nice, and the denim was fairly heavy as well, but I don't think they were worth the $300 retail price.

I agree with you, for that price, I'd rather just have a pair of non-collab Momotaros, which use a little bit nicer denim.

i dont. they are limited and unique. its a nice collab and as you know collab's do end up costing a bit more. at $275 i think there a great buy. i would own a pair if my fat ass would fit into that damn cut

I've always been a sucker for limited and unique, but I think as far as Momo collabs go, I'm a little more impressed with the Context and BiG collabs than the N&F one.

Well, Rambo did say that the N&F collabs were $300. At $315 for the BiG collab and $320 for the Context one, I wouldn't say that is a big price difference. However, if the N&F collabs are $275 like you said, you're right, that is more significant.

took them in for hemming, put em on and agreed-to length seemed right -- but no measurements were taken... just by eyeballing when I had them on...

picked them up last night and inseam was around 27-28... usually i'm a 31-31.5 with stacking... too short... contacted the appropriate parties...

we'll see if there's anything that I can do...

Seemed like the mark was good...

Apparently, there isn't much I can do at this point... They can let them out a hair... but that'll only give about 0.5 inches at the most...
