  1. Can anyone tell me if the Field pant stretches out at all? I'm not referring to the stretchiness of the fabric, but more to the overall fit - if it is a snug fit brand new, will it loosen up similar to jeans or other Veilance cotton pants? 

    I purchased both the peat and black, in a 30 and 31. Love them, Great fit, fabric feels super comfortable. Not as baggy as some of the fit pics I saw online were.

    I'm on a trip to Germany and picked up this season's Vonoroi AR just before leaving, it's been about two weeks, and about 8-10 wearings, and there is already some pilling in the groin. I'm going to take them back to my local bird store when I get home and try to return them. Disappointed.

    I've never had an issue like this with Arc before, does anyone know if I am even able to return them?

    Oh man was hoping not to hear that. I'm being offered a pair as part of a warranty exchange due to fading so may not have a choice in the matter. I'll mention it to them and see if any of the summer versions are still available. Wonder if anyone else has had similar issues with the current season. 

    Want to add that the fading was at least partially my blame and I was still offered an exchange after they inspected them. So my experience with them is extremely positive.

    just picked up some Voronoi AR's in black and soot.  they have a significant thinner feel than previous voronois.  maybe this will allow slightly more stretch and less crotch tears.  and it's confirmed; made in china.

    Probably a bit early to give an answer, but how do you think they will hold up? I am about to grab a new pair of Voronoi AR in soot as well.

    Currently have last year's AR in peat and black size 30. They are a little too tight in the waist but love the fit in the rest of the leg. I tried the 32 but they were way too big in the leg. 

    Is this year's identical in fit from what you can tell? I'm trying to decide between 30 and 31...

  4. I have several pairs of Voronoi pants, recently picked up a pair of shorts and pants both in black and both the AR version (stretchy summer weight).

    The pants are pitch black and the shorts are a dark grey black - basically a black but not solid black. Similar to the non-stretch winter weight black version. I much prefer the dark grey/black. 

    Wonder if perhaps I bought an older version of the black pants? I bought from Grailed so they most likely are. Are the new ones solid black or more like the dark grey/black color? 

  5. Has anyone received their merchandise from this seller?

    I paid for the derbies a month ago, was given a tracking number which I have informed the seller numerous times does not show up either on japanpost or USPS and have not received any response from him since April 13.

    I've emailed him 3 times since then including his paypal email address and just filed a paypal claim.

  6. Just stopped in Self Edge NYC to check out the SEXIH07 overdyed black, was shocked to see a pair in 30 in stock, figured I'd give it a shot. I'm usually a 32 or 31 waist but was able to button these up. Not too tight anywhere for new jeans, fit is great, as long as the waist area stretches a bit they'll be my new daily jeans.

    I thought these jeans were going to be a very slim fit from the measurements posted on SF but they're more of a straight leg. FYI the measurements listed on SF are accurate (though thigh measures 11.5 on mine not 11.2).

  7. If the waist is your only issue you'll be fine. My size 32s measured 34" after a cold soak and a few days wearing. Thighs which were a little too tight at first are perfect now... slim but not too slim.

    I knew I wasn't the only one who thought that they started tight in the waist as compared to the measurements up on the site!
  8. Am wearing them now, going out for a few hours but will get photos up when I get back. I really like the fit post-stretch, they seem slim straight-legged from the knee down, also like the way the stalk.

    The denim is not so thick that they look awkward at the bottom...these look great long. I had that problem when I tried on those 23oz iron hearts - fit was a great fit but too thick to leave un-hemmed.

    nicknyc, let's see some pics.
  9. I picked up a pair in black today, was riding my bike in the area and remembered they were being released today. Made it just after the store opened and was apparently the first person to buy them. I picked up black in size 32 and they fit very well - true to size. Tight but not too tight in the thigh which is often the problem for me.

    I cold soaked for about an hour, the inseam went down 3" to 36". the water was very blue when I took them out but I guess that's normal? Currently being dried in the sun, should have them on in a few more hours :)

    Wanted to also mention I tried them in a 33 and didn't like them. If you want slim fitting jeans and your thighs aren't gigantic I'd say get true to size. The photos of the jeans on Selfedge are tighter looking than what mine look like worn... they look a little bit too tight to me.

  10. Interested in both the cloak pants but need to see photos or links to them, if they are current season I can go by the cloak store and try them on - I live a block away.
