    wait, that's not the navy chambray Knugget is wearing....

    Same snaps, same pocket design, guessing either it's a light photo, or been washed plenty.... (or NOT a FH, but then I wouldn't guess he would have posted it here)

    can anyone confirm/deny if lot 10 (710 in particular) are still having sizing "issues"? as in, a 31 raw will measure 31 in the waist instead of shrinking to 31 after a soak? also, is it just the waist measurement that is affected or the entire jean?

    Just waist affected

    Would like to have he same info for the S5000VX...?thanks

    Guessing it's pretty hard for people on here to tell you as shops probably have a mix of new and old stock, so the jeans you recieve could be just hot off production, or from months ago. If you're really concerned about it, i'd suggest asking the shops concerned themselves to measure the jeans you want to buy. I would presume that even if jean sizing returns to 'normal', there will 1. still be variation, and 2. still be people recieving the odd lot 10 jeans in a years time as shops get rid of their old stock (example: I recently ordered a pair of SDA-in the pics they were the new style with no tab, new patch-all post lawsuit-but the jeans that I got were pre lawsuit. I wasn't really bothered either way, but my guess was that this is happening lots to people as shops get rid of last year's inventory.

    I wouldn't size down at all. They're a really tight weave, and I haven't noticed much stretching going on with mine. For reference, I got a 38 and after a heated dry the waist shrank down to a 35.

    Maybe it's the Lot, or the tag size, but I had exactly the opposite experience with Jins. I had to Soak twice before finally resorting to a machine wash to get my tag 33 down to a 33. They instantly stretched to comfortable (about 34 in the waist), and could really do with a hot wash again. I've personally found the Jins really stretchy which is weird as I tried on a one wash at Gordon's and size 33 were super super tight. In my personal experience, I would happily size down one on the Jins. But like I said, the new lot# coming out may be different entirely in raw size to mine. I agree with Beatle etc. though that sam LHT is lurvely beyond compare...

    ahhh...i dont have that one, i have the steel one. silver seemed a bit too soft for me...guess i made the right decision

    yeah I wondered that too...but it was surprisingly tough to remould after I bent it out of shape-really hurt my fingers/table. Had a general reaction when people see it of being scared of keys falling off, but once you see how it works with a big keyring it's quite safe-unless you attach a key to a bench that's bolted to the ground, and then stand up:D... How's the steel one? Oh yeah and pm'd you a few times last week...you get them?;)

    I bent the shit out of my FH key holder a couple of weeks ago (similar to deadpan's story), and it looks kinda retarded now that I bent it back.. My keys haven't fallen off yet, but I still would like a nice thick key ring.

    Yeah mine was bent all over the shot. S5000 belt loop won. Silver keyhook lost-bad. I have a thick keyring on there. At first mine really pissed me off since it didn't go back straight, and I thought about having it rounded back by a silversmith, but it's kinda grown on me now.
