I'd lean towards allowing people to make some alterations. I doubt that I'd make changes, but wouldn't want to stop others if they'd prefer. I know it likely wouldn't work for me in the contest, but taking in the knee to make more of a boot-cut might work for me... That' being said, I'm likely too chicken to do it.

I got it as well.

Seems like there will be a fair number of 35" inseams (me too).

more shocked than disappointed currently with no call backs except from family & friends. i am either over-qualified or the current market doesn't feel like training new employees b/c I definitely meet the requirements.

My experience has been that if you don't know someone to get you the job, applying blindly won't do it. I applied places for months after graduating, but couldn't find a job anywhere until a friend from school who had interned at a firm recommended me to them. The only other way that I've found a job was through a recruiting agency.

My job hunting experience is also from six years ago, so I can only imagine what it is like since the economy took a virtually world-wide downturn.

None of the 5 different grocery stores within 2 miles of my apartment have everything that I want to get.

My undergrad was in business (dual degree accounting and finance) and it was incredibly unsatisfying work, both in the public and private sectors of accounting. Based on my experience, a business degree counts for very little. After a few years, I decided to change directions completely and am now taking my last class for a Psychology Ph.D., teaching, and working a fellowship.

I seem to be generally the same size as you, Kansas (5'11", 168lbs.). What is the pit-to-pit on that jacket?

You are told that jeans are not acceptable at work, so the next week you wear khaki pants and denim shirts.

Just notice they put out a few new colors, I like this one.

I have to agree. All of those with black wefts look really nice. A very high end look for a less expensive jean.

Very nice looking. What are the details? Weight, etc?

Every time I see macro shots of PBJs denim, it makes me want to buy a pair...

The general concensus for PBJ is that if they fit in the theigh, you'll be ok. There should be enough stretch in the waist to accomodate that, but PBJ tends to cut the theighs tighter than other brands, so if they fit there, you should be golden.

By chance does having their support mean that further details will be announced soon? i.e. What store the jeans will be purchased through? I've been thinking about it, and thought that if I'm getting a package shipped from Japan, I might want to add something else from the shop that I can't get in the US.

Nice video. Cool to see something other than the standard wear pics.

That doesn't always work... I tried to explain it at a prior job. They were less than understanding.

Fantastic! Can't wait for my new Sammies to get here...

I'm so glad that I saw this thread early enough to jump in...

To take it in another direction...

...when you love your $35 STFs so much that you don't even want another pair even though you have the money to blow.

yeah... I've got that problem too. I have a pair of STFs (regular blue) that are well worn in from the first contest on mynudies. I recently donated about 6 bags of clothing to charity. Even though they're about 3" too big in the waist now, they didn't find their way into one of those bags.

^bingo. I keep telling myself that I just need new jeans due to weight loss...

That is what he's asking... i.e. does shrinkage occur while they dry, or is it all during the washing/aggitating? I actually don't know, either.

I'm willing to make whatever people express the most interest in. Belt, bracelet, card case, wallet, S&M harness, whatever.

Well, I'd be down for a bracelet or card case. I feel pretty well set for belts.

double post... sorry

I'd be in for this. Thus far all of my Sams have been LHT, so I'd love to try their lighter RHT stuff.

Might as well put these up here since they just hit the one-year mark.
