Yea, what's funny is they told me they could do either selvedge or non-selvedge side but doing the non-selvedge side would affect the fit.

I should have known they were saying this to take the easy way out. Oh well, live and learn I guess.

I think they'll be ok in the long run.

Waxed leather? I don't think I've ever heard of those. Waxed cotton, yes....

Ok, waxed cotton. Where can I buy? My tricker burford laces look like they may break.

^ I second that question.

yea headtowall, try to resist the temptation to wash. I wouldn't wash until they really start to smell. You may want to cold soak instead of wash for now.

You know what is ironic. This forum is all about jeans that look better with age and yet the repair thread is only 8 pages long.

I had my taper done at kuhlman.

I got them back today. Yes, they did taper on the selvedge side. So now my tracks are going to be all screwed up. So I took scissors and cut off the excess taper so the seam is once again uniform on the inside. They're back at the tailors now to stitch the seam where I cut so it won't unravel.

Meanwhile my skulls are getting crotch reinforcement so i'm left without my two main pairs.

What a mess.

is this thread still alive?

May this thread never die. I'm counting on all of you.

^ Please elaborate, what did they do?

I'm getting my 811's tapered.

Please don't hate. It truly hurts to put them through surgery but my hem was measuring 8.5 which is too gansta for me. I got them down to 7.5.

I pick them up tomorrow and will post pics.

Is that 21 oz black Iron Heart shirt releasing soon?

Waiting anxiously...

^ I don't think anyone tires of seeing fit pics...post them up.

I'll say, those arcs keep me from buying a pair.

nemoulette, those are epic! Great job, they look fantastic!

Watchman, full pics please.

Sid, show us your post soak pics please.

Sorry Bill, I couldn't resist...

Didn't you do the same thing... with multiple brands too? Learn from braidkid's experience.

huh? I think you have me confused with someone else.

Greg, those are just absolutely beautiful.

they kinda jut out at the hips. dont like that. theyre still plenty wearable but i'd just prefer to try somethig else.

jut out at the hips? what are you talking about? You won't get a better fit than that unless you want leggings.

Funny the things we see ourselves that others dont.

This Is The Best Thread Ever!!!!!!!!!!! *breakdances*

why are you selling those. they fit you good i think

for real, those pbj's fit you absolutely perfectly.

sid, are we going to see after soak pics? I want to see your new leggings ;-)

if you think about it, I think the 811 has been the sufu denim standard. Think of all the greats who have worn them....minya, 2000db, watchman, chicken, tweedles, diddy, still, ordo, Takashi-san, sidney, etc.
