Pardon the hasty work-restroom photo, I'll get some with better lighting later. Fit is what I was looking for, slimmer than I thought it'd be though. Hopefully the waist stretches back out 0.5-1 inch for comfort.

Finally gave these a piping hot wash and machine dry, the puckering/roping is crazy and the leather seems to have held up well enough. I did rub a little Obenauf's on it which I haven't done to patches in almost 20 years. Plus, I got two belt loops with selvedge which was a nice little surprise.

Number 213 checking in a bit late, finally going to give these a wash and dry.

Damn, the patch faded more than I thought it would

Reversed yoke equals reversed red tab, makes sense 😂

Just joined the club! Number 213 for my area code too 🧯

Damn, my mail already came today but according to the tracking, USPS is back out delivering my jeans. Getting the VIP service 👏

Woot, 311 gang, let's go! Waiting on mine to get here tomorrow, really hoping they fit 🤞.

If these jeans fit, I'll be wearing them minimum five days a week for 12-16 hours... thing is, I have jeans I've worn for the same duration for one-plus years and they've barely faded 😂 I'm in this for the love of the game.

Starting from what size were vintage Type IIs made with a T-back? Deciding if I should go full-on short boxy cut with Mepse's size 52 since the sleeve lengths still look good...

I assume it's just added onto the second payment after he's finished with the jeans?

I DM him on Insta to buy stuff, seems like he posts new releases there.

Looks good on ya! Nice short boxy fit which I think looks best for denim jackets. I have the opposite problem where I want my jackets short (less than 24 inches ideally) but the sleeves end up being too short if I try to size based on back length.

Y'all some fancy-ass mofos, the first picture I'm taking of my jeans is of me scarfing down a slice of a pepperoni Hot-and-Ready.

Had to pick up the Jesse, been looking for ages for one in my size!
