waist: 16.5

rise: 9.5

inseam: 33

ankle: 7

thigh: 10

 

as far as price goes im not quite sure how much the alterations and broken clasp will depreciate the value so I was hoping someone with more clout on here could help me out with that. 

also I would gladly trade for a size up in the same cut or 21cm. Would consider other trades as well

 

any more pictures or information is no problem!

  

   

 

just picked up some 17.5 mij in a 29. I am very pleased with the fit. Next to them are my apc petit standards (28) at 3 years and one motorcycle crash/one wash.

goin to new york in a couple days heres some things id like to check out:

shopping:

inventory

self edge

barneys (gotta try on some dior jeans SOEXCITED)

food/drink:

freemans

maialino

shake shack

ramen totto

could anyone recommend similar things (list is kinda random, sorry) that i would hate to have missed?

thank you

finally my search has ended

haha no i know, i love the aesthetics of the boots but in my line of work, they were definitely a tax write off. i just didn't know what to do to make them last as long as possible so i asked the guy at the shop and he told me to oil em up real good and they'll last forever, so i did. bad call.

thanks for the helpful words soonami........

keep it movin. no response is better than a negative one.

ok so my 875s are fucked then.

man you guys are brutal.

i thought i did enough research to do it on my own but now my boots are an ugly dark brown and im fucked.

buuuut luckily there is a redwing store down the street from my house where i can return them and start over.

so who of all you nice guys is going to help me out and tell me what to do this time to maintain the beautiful look of these boots (without making me cry)...

everyone has to start from somewhere. i seem to be having bad luck.

i really hope they lighten up a lot.

oh man those raw ones look great.

i dont know what to do.

my a.p.c's fit me perfectly in a 28 ns

but im worried that the 29 diors would be too big.

what do i do? get 28's and hope they stretch enough

or get the 29's and hope the dont stretch too much?

thanks for the help.

also ive been looking for a place to purchase them online. im from portland oregon, so their isnt much for me to work with in person. and all the places that i found through sufu didnt have the exact ones.

help?

how much is the cheapest you think i could get away with spending for a new pair? im not broke but im not rich. i just called barneys in seattle. they are sold out but but asking 400 for when they get them. that is way too much

hey I am trying to figure out what size to get, and weather i should get the 21 or the 19. ill throw some stats from past jean sizes out and any help as to which size would fit me best would rule.

i am about 5 10 and a half 140 pounds

i am currently wearing a size 28 in my a.p.c (new standards)

they fit very well. the length could be a bit longer. washed several times

i also have a pair of size 30 corpus. im not sure if anyone knows much about them though. i think they are pretty cheap.

but if they do, they are very big in the waist but other than that absolute perfect fit.

im not sure if this is enough info to make a clear judgment but any help would be great.

i really like the 19 cm look, but im not sure if they would be best for me.

i dont have big thighs at all, but i dont have really skinny thighs either.

yeah i guess i got a bit carried away with it, i don't know, i couldn't really decide which ones to put up so i just put them all up.

next time i post some pictures ill be sure to put in the extra time to sort out the best shots.

woah, hey thanks man! im pretty out of the loop on uploading and stuff

not too sure how long i have had them exactly, over 6 months under a year.

one ocean wash and a couple regulars and a lot of fun.

sorry i didn't just post the pictures instead of the links, i don't exactly know how.

i think i am doing it right every time and then the code just shows and no pic.

Is it necessarily 'taboo' for someone to hem their Diors? I have the 19cm in black and the inseam is sort of ridiculous considering I am only 5' 7". I was thinking of hemming them down to 34", in order to keep enough stacking but eliminate the awkward look of too much denim at the bottom.

I guess I am just wondering how many of you have hemmed yours.

This question is in regard to the first machine wash in an odd situation.

I've been wearing these Thin Finn's religiously for almost 15 months. The crotch had blown out in a major way around 4 months ago, which was a combination of nelglect on my part, riding a bicycle daily, and wrestling with some pretty playful hound dogs. I had them patched at a place that was recommended, and the job was done with poor quality. It was only 6 dollars, but you get what you pay for. Anyway, the patch itself has blown out--again, in a major way.

My question (finally): Should I have the jeans patched before my first wash, or should I wash them first? I am worried that if I have them patched, the jeans will shrink disproportionately to the patch and result in a funky fit more funky than before. On the other hand, if I do not have them patched, will the machine wash progress the already large hole? I am worried as to how it will affect that area.

Some pictures of the hole follow. Again, about 15 months. No machine washes, no formal soaks. Just rain and being homeless, traveling, hopping trains, camping, etc.

BEHOLD THE GAPING MAW
