New poster. Was thinking of buying a pair of jeans from self edge. Anyone know if there's any active coupon codes?

try LURKMORE

Kiya,

Was the Flat Head 8005a a one-time event, or will you be receiving more? And if so, any ideas when? Thanks!

Alterations? We've been hemming jeans for over three years via a chainstitching machine and we do repairs on jeans bought from Self Edge.

Sorry, I meant repairs. I've been at work far too long.

Anyway, thanks!

Kiya,

Did SESF ever get set up to do alterations? My 1947s could use some love.

I've been quickly browsing through this thread, and I definitely want to buy a pair of these. I just have two questions. 1. How are you guys sizing? And, how should I size? I have a 30" waist, and above average size thighs from baseball. Thanks in advance!

I would probably go with a 31". I have two pairs of SugarCanes (Hawaii and 1947), both 32"s. I had to go with 33" to get the DBs around my proletarian thighs. You'll need a belt, but they should fit through the leg.

No idea how they did it, but it's unwearable for me, and i'm used to wearing wool sweaters and such over the years.

Probably something like:

"Uses pre-1949 period-authentic 32 micron mil-spec Icelandic sheep's wool; after '49 the US Armed Forces shifted to >= 25micron wool in its clothes manufacture after complaints from field officers about 'itchiness'."

Have you ever tried one of those things on?

I swear to you it's near impossible to wear because it's so beyond itchy.

I was hoping you might stock it so i *could* try it on.

I went through a wool phase a few years ago, and feel like I built up a tolerance after wearing stuff like this ( http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3369/3251797271_efbd1088b9.jpg?v=0 ) ; however, your admonition is enough to scare me off.

The jacket quest continues.

Kiya,

Any chance you'll be stocking the Buzz Rickson's C-2 vest/jacket?

^hippo? mine only shrunk 2" if that means anything

or you could partially soak the jeans too

Same here. Hotsoaked for 30 minutes, and the shrinkage was fairly minimal across the board.

I don't know how i feel about the fit below the knee on these jeans

Keep in mind that most of the pics so far have been unhemmed; the inseam for every waist size is a verrrry long 37".

Kiya,

I was an idiot and bought a shirt a couple hours ago thinking it would be an entry into the raffle tonight. If i bring the receipt by later tonight, will it still count?
