  1. I've always found sizing advice on the MF chambrays to be misleading/confusing.

    From my experience, they shrink a half size, which is consistent with demonito and zissou's measurements.

    I'm a 39" chest so usually shirt with a 41" measurement fits spot on. I've tried a one-wash large, and a hot-washed (raw) medium. The large was too long in the sleeves and body for me. The medium fits perfectly in the chest in the raw state, although a little long in the body and sleeves. Once soaked, it shrinks an inch in length, but only about 0.5" in the chest. I find the chest stretches out to be more comfortable after some wear.

    In summary, the chambray fits a half size smaller than the SE measurements when washed.

  2. I found this to be the same case for the ST-100x (which is supposedly the same cut as the 20BSP), at least for the first run that they made; the thighs and knees were super slim, while the waist was easy to button up.

    I've only worn my ST's for a couple of days, but the stretching in the waist has been negligible (they won't stretch unless they're tight enough to put tension on the denim!). If you're happy with the fit through the legs, and the jeans aren't falling off your ass, you should be set!

    ddragovi's fit looks on point.

  3. That 15th 1001xx denim looks the tits.

    Still lusting after a pair with arcs. Got too much denim already, but figure I need a pair of Warehouse to round out the collection...

    Would you Warehouse connoisseurs say that the 15th 1001xx denim is a good gateway that will deliver those characteristic Warehouse fades? (If Snakes evo photos are any indication, then I'm thinking hell yes)

  4. Anyone who already own a pair of the "+" series care to share some more details of the jeans? Like the front pockets, hidden rivets, close up of the denim, etc. I am on the fence about buying these. Thanks in advance.

    Plus I am between W32 and 33. Would buying a W32 too tight? They are fairly slim (for me anyway) and I want to have a more comfortable fit, but I don't want to waist to be too loose after some stretching. I am talking about 10 BSPs.

    You need to decide quick... I'm about to pick up the last size 32 after work today. I'll give you a few more hours to think about it.

    Forget this. SENY and SELA probably also have a 32 in stock, so don't be rushed into making an impulse purchase that you might regret.

    From my experience with the regular 3sixteen denim, they don't stretch much (0.5-1"). When you say you're between a W32 and 33, does that refer to your tagged size, or your actual measurements?

    I typically wear jeans with a 32" (measured) waist. If I were to buy a pair of the 3s+ 10BSP, I would go with a 31. Basically , get the size that measures 0.5-1" less than what you measure on a pair of jeans that fit you well.

  5. You seem to have mistaken the concept "thoughts" with the concept "actions".

    I just came here to ask if SuFu seems slow the past few days? ^This could be the reason.

    SuFu has been retardedly slow the past week or so. Pages take 30 seconds or longer to load for me; it is seriously slowing down my procrastination.

    PS. I want to buy your jawnz. Where they at?

  6. My fuckwad boss who owns a C63 (his second one because he wrote off his last one - his fault) and pays the dealership to change his oil, giving me shit about maintaining my own car (which I rebuilt the engine, swapped out the suspension, etc.) Fuck you.

  7. jessecarr, article was a good read. Thanks for providing that.

    The story about the Levi's lawsuit was interesting; I did not know that was stirred up by SE.

    Not sure if I can agree with AJ's comments RE: fades (page 6). Perhaps the $40 Levi's was a bad example because I've seen some nicely faded ones that looked just as well aged as some of the "nicer" denim. That being said, it's probably a lot harder to achieve nice fades on the $40 pair of Levi's than a pair stocked by SE.

    I'm definitely curious about the differences in the denim (weave, dying, etc.) from brand A to brand B, and how the processing of the fabric is more intense than on cheaper denim.

  8. Waist measurements are whack:

    28 29 30 31 32 34 36 38

    Waist 29.5 30.5 3.5 35.5 33.5 35.2 37.5 40.0

    Guessing it's supposed to be 31.5 and 32.5 for sizes 30 and 31, respectively.

    I don't think that the jeans are slouched in that fit pic (fit from the front looks fine). It's just that these were intended to be worn high on the waist; otherwise the back pockets are too low and look huge.

  9. Today I headed south of the border. I woke up at 6:30am in hopes of beating the border lineup. Apparently it wasn't early enough because I still had to wait over an hour!

    I picked up some essentials since they're way cheaper than buying locally. Hanes undershirts, 6 for $20. Socks 3 pairs for $7 (made sure to get the USA made Gold Toes).

    On the way home I picked up some packages waiting for me:

    I was getting thirsty so I crawled down to the cellar to grab something to drink. Not just any ordinary closet:

    Trap door!

    I really only have two reasons to come down here: to get the Christmas decorations, or to store/grab a bottle...

    The climate down here is stable, not too hot or too cold throughout the year, making it ideal for storing my stash. It's running a little low these days:

    One of my favourite local wineries; they make great white wines, although this is my first time trying one of their reds. Not too shabby:
