Walmart Rustlers and stf 501 (beater jeans)

Mine fit fine in the waist pre-soak, and they fit fine in the waist post-soak, too. I doubt you'll have much trouble fitting in them after a soak, since they do stretch quite easily. And the fact that they already fit your waist pre-soak is a good thing, since they won't get too baggy with wear. I soaked mine in the tub initially and wore them around while still wet. I've also washed them in the machine on hot and they were fine then, too. They're a pretty malleable pair of jeans, so if you like them I'd say soak em. Post fit pics afterward if you do.

Nice, where are they from? and how much?

Strike Gold's fade fast!!! I spilled slurpee on my jeans, and now I have to soak them!!! Shit!!!

I spill soda and beer on my jeans all the time and I don't soak em. It's better than spilling 40-45 gallons of water on them. hehe.

Thanks for the advice! I just took the insoles from my wallabees, which i never wear, and cut them down to fit the gt's. Seems like they'll help a bunch.

That's awesome! I recall him having some nice jeans in that movie too. Did you snag those while you were at it? Great photo overall, btw.

brand spankin' new 9010's

I guess I was just wondering if the smaller size had any hope and whether I dismissed them too quickly. I mean, I know leather stretches and all, but they're not supposed to put your feet to sleep, right?

I just bought a pair of red wing gt's (moc toe) and am a little iffy of the size I got.

Initially I bought the non-moc toe version, which the store had to order, in size 10.5. I bought them then walked around the city and in a matter of 5-10 minutes, what started out as normal, run-of-the-mill tightness turned into my not being able to walk and having my left foot start to fall asleep. So I went back to the store and exchanged them for the moc toe version in a half size up of 11. After that I was at least able to walk home without looking like a crippled mess. However, there is some looseness in the heel area, which is giving me blisters. I know that's not a good thing, but I'm thinking once I get some insoles it will be a better fit.

Can someone tell me if I made the right decision switching to the 11's? I know you're supposed to size down for red wings, which I'm still doing, but only by a half size and not a full size down. I usually wear 11.5-12 for shoes/boots, and 11 for sneakers.

Sorry if this is a long and confusing question. I'd really appreciate some advice, though.

Anyone seen these...

Also, I just ordered a pair of black stf's and was wondering if anyone knows if they fade well.

dkats, somehow I'm more traumatized by how far back you had to cut your toenail than I am by the jiggers.

Perhaps baldy doesn't have the sizing advice you're looking for, but at the very least he gave what I thought was good advice. If you already know a place that has them in stock, good for you, but imagine if you hadn't already found such a place... wouldn't you be bummed to do all that sizing homework for nothing?

Selfedge has them in 28

Denim bar has them in 30 and 36

Farinelli's has them in 28, 29, 31, 32, 34, 36, AND 38

that only leaves the 33's unaccounted for

good luck

Those are truly awesome, farmer. What's with the vertical fades on the waist band? And what new work denims do you speak of? Something obscure as the 007's and jins?

go true to size. so if you're deciding between the 36 and 38, definitely go with the 36. i'm generally a 33-34, and the 34 was totally fine on me from the get go.

Only faggots drink from wine glasses haven't ya heard?

On a more sincere note... I love the boots!

I love the idea of classic appliances being reinvented. There's nothing quite as classic as a 5-pocket pair of jeans, but it's cool when someone reassesses what a pair of "jeans" is, and puts a new, and practical, spin on its design. What other companies have done it besides Mister Freedom?

Yeah, they definitely look like they could be rustlers from walmart. I've owned a pair and they really are quite capable of achieving wow factor, especially for a mere $8. As someone else on here once put it, they are denim's "unsung hero."

much appreciated. yeah, stock photos are pretty deceiving i guess. can't wait for my pair to arrive!

thanks, not too tight, relief washes over me in an awesome wave. i'm also surprised how much i had to size down. a full size at least.

I have a question about sizing on the gentleman travelers. I was able to try on a pair of the moc toe version in 10.5 and they fit great, so I ordered a pair of the non-moc toe in 10.5 assuming they'd fit the same? Is the width much narrower? Thanks!

how did June 11 get picked for the occasion, btw? just random?

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like repairs done with selvedge lined scraps looks contrived. Seems like a lot of people do it, though.

does he have to pet my dog?

Can't he get fired for doing that? Be discreet for his sake. Unless you're going the blackmail approach for free products.

I've begun to notice creases/wrinkles were the leather bends. Should I be worried?

I've noticed when I wear my jeans that the denim is fading where it creases. Are my jeans sick or something? Should I call a denim whisperer?
