percy

update: well i have been playing this now for just over a week and am slowly getting used to it all... is so manic. am still only at level 22 but am trying. i seem to be mainly using the scar which i have now blinged and use the thermo sight, is great for medium to long range viewing but shit close up, so i just hip spray.

i still havent managed to knife anyone, is annoying me. i sometimes start to creep up behind someone but get scared and shoot them in the head in case they turn round and i mess it up!

just a quick thanks to michael and royale for their handy advice

just got mw2 on the ps3 yesterday, i am sooo bad at this game. i need basic tips to improve. why is it every time i aim at someone and get rounds off they seem to move then shoot me once and im dead?!

ed has left the building

oo oo oo any excuse to post the proclaimers

poop, i mustve lost weight recently, my Riders Dungarees in 30 are a size too big. Have already re-ordered in size 28 since they are damned gorgeous

i have a pair and mine were about an inch oversized anyway so im sure you should fir the smaller ones perfectly.

i hear you kiya, its amazing the hype some people will use to promote a product isnt it?!

i hear what you are saying fuuma. i always loved the ultra thin (without date) and when worn you dont even know its on the wrist it is so light.

all the watch houses have their own version and to be honest if i had the money i wouldnt mind something from any of them!

relativity: im not buying a watch just yet, the pic was shown as an example.

i agree with you fuuma, i have a craving for a dress watch now. im a big fan of JLC so maybe i would buy one of these:

hey.. to anyone who has a pair, how comfy are the rw iron rangers?

have been in sneakers for so long now im not sure my feet will take anything too wooden.

cheers

of course i understand shrinking is an ongoing process, but i mostly find they shrink the largest proportion the first time they hit water, hot or cold.

i guess as long as you yourself enjoy your jeans who cares how you treat them?

question for airfrog: what happens to the jeans after you wash them? wont they become completely different in terms of fit and all the wear lines move?

i thought the organic cone mills denim on the post o'alls from last year was very nice, much better than just about all the lvc stuff i have had (the 1944 554 i have the only probable exception). pity it isnt readily available in other jeans.

anyone got any buzz rickson denim? any info?

thanks

for anyone who has either or both, shall i get some ooe 02 or real mccoy 614?

i like both, similar type, fit and price but i only need one new pair of jeans.

any thoughts?

cheers

ok thanks. i dont mind them shrinking more than their factory one wash, as like you said, they can always be stretched back out. BIG measurements show that the OW is 2" less in the waist than the raw, so i guess that means they have the potential to stretch that amount too. i have some duckdiggers which shrank/stretched a crazy amount.

i think because their chart states they run a size bigger than tagged i just wanted to get the sizing right first time. a bit small is ok.. big is just well.. big.

for anyone who has the 800 or similar denim.. how much stretch am i likely to get?

i would be getting the one wash in the correct size and didnt want too much expansion.

thanks

i have another fragrance info request. can anyone give any insight into the guerlain les eaux range, specifically eau de cologne imperiale?

im after a skin scent.. would this be appropriate?

thanks

never had an oud based fragrance, but just wondered if anyone has sampled the new amouage homage yet?

apart from getting some positive reviews all i know so far is that it is super expensive!

says on that link above it goes on sale october 1st and it has uk prices showing, so i think it is likely they will be selling in the uk.

if you are feeling generous mike, i would be very interested to see a fic pic of those. i like you have had two pairs before both too big and am now considering trying one last time by sizing down as suggested.

by the way in case anyone is interested in general fit pics of lee and lvc this swedish shop has a few good ones: http://shop.textalk.se/en/artgrp.php?id=7325&grp=168726

i personally think they are very nice. organic cone mills denim with green selvedge, feels much better quality than any of the lvc i own. it has a nice texture to it and i think the fit of the no.4 is a good one too.

i had a pair but had to return as they were too big and unfortunately the store didnt have any of the smaller size left or i would have purchased.

i havent been paying much attention to the mister freedom stuff for a while but the new collection looks very nice.

i think the trouser pockets style combined with back pockets and side cinches look great on the new riders dungarees. and the denim looks awesome.. am really looking forward to seeing these released.

ok thanks beatle, will prob try with true to size

i would like some sizing/fit opinions if possible please.

i think i may well buy some of the 2009's, but im not sure which way to go. im a size 32 and selfedge show the one wash measure as tagged at 32 and from the sidney pics look quite nice. b.i.g. do the raw which measures 35.5, so thats a large amount of shrinkage. what is the likelihood of the one wash stretching back out large amounts with constant wear?

there is also the option of course of buying a smaller raw, say the 30, which measures 33.5 before washing and controlling the shrinkage.

any thoughts? thanks

anybody seen any fit pics for the 47 slims? they sound promising
