  1. we'll be here until saturday

    think we be stayin at the sandman hotel

    Funny you should say that, I until five weeks ago worked there, I now work at the Travelodge.

    In my opinion Sandman isn't all that much better than any other 3.5 diamond hotel.

    Edit: Worked at the Sandman in Victoria, that is.

  2. Anybody have experience with WESC gear, specifically pea coats? The pea coat they have this season (80/20 wool/nylon) has a much nicer fit on my slim frame than the Spiewalks, but its a bit more, AND has that gaudy WESC stitching on the left breast.

    Anybody know if their coats are well constructed etc.? The price at the store where I tried it on is 275 CAD + tax.

  3. Chelsea=boots with the elastic on the side instead of zips or laces. Those are motorcycle boots as others pointed out and frye makes some pretty cool ones. Designers release some from time to time if you want more designery models.

    Yes, hence riding boots ;)

    Did you think I meant horses?

  4. These, and Chelsea style boots, are often referred to as "riding boots" so you could search for that as well.

    But I know that Frye has that EXACT boot, to a T.

  5. I just got a pair of zip up black J Lindeberg boots, trying to find a picture as I'm at work and have no camera. Ran me about 450 and I also got a JL belt for 170.

    Those are the boots, and the belt is plain black leather with the JL logo for the buckle.

  6. told you

    OKKKAYY soo

    HOW DO I GET MAXIMUM SHRINKAGE? I dont care if they stretch again, i only want the knee area to shrink noticably, the waist is fine because I can wear a belt.

    I don't care about starch OR color, just shrinking the jeans.

    Also, thanks for the replies so far.

  7. sanforized, will barely shrink. trust me i tried it. only the inseam shrunk for me

    So the APCs are sanfordized? How come I've heard reports of the NS shrinking an inch in the waist then?

  8. Yes the waist will stretch back, but the knees etc. will shrink enough to make a difference. How can I maximize the shrinkage? Multiple hot soaks?

    Again, they're black so I'm not worried about the color.

  9. I'm considering soaking my black NS because i didn't size down enough(got 31s, should have got 30s)

    From the soaking thread I've collected many different opinions, should I do 30 minutes inside out in cold water, no agitation? or multiple hours in a hot soak? all I want is maximum shrinkage with minimal color loss, I don't care about starch.

  10. Uhh well if you ordered from them directly i think the answer is pretty obvious ]:

    Yep, as I suspected. One of the owners of one of my favorite stores had warned me about APC fakes for some reason when I had mentioned ordering them.

    I really could have sized down another inch though, which is strange considering I would never have considered trying as low as 30.

  11. can the new standard-cut actually look good on skinny people?

    JonathanFrom508: i don't understand why you have neg rep anyway...

    I just got a pair of NS in 31, my actual size is 32, and I could have sized down at least one more inch for sure, I'm swimming in these 31s

    Short answer though, I am skinny as a rail (5'11 and 135) and they look great on me( If i do say so myself)

  12. Are my APCs real? These are black NS in 31, but theres no selvedge line(I assumed there would be, i may very well be wrong though). I ordered directly from the APC website, so I'm very confused.

  13. your post reads just like an advert- this is not a good thing. Also waffleimages- god no please guck foons, seriously.

    Because I use proper capitalization and punctuation? Or because I have the vocabulary of somebody who actually graduated high school?

    I didn't think I would need to dumb down my posting for this board, and I seriously hope that I don't.
