  3. My brother just got the Alden cordovan chukka in cigar. The salesman gave him tan polish, but he's not convinced.

    Any opinions on what product/color to use in polishing them?[/quote

    buy a dedicated horsehair brush and this really should be all he needs. occasionally i clean mine with melotonian all purpose cleaner and conditioner. they shine so nice without anything else. i have noticed that when i have used shoe polish they scuff faster and get dirty quicker. it is amazing what a shine with just the brush will do. And i say dedicated brush because the wax residue on other brushes leaves a film on the cordovan as well with the same scuffy/dirty issue

  4. Was wondering if anyone can clear up these 710xx questions for me. I was comparing BiG's measurements to the post wash measurements on Samurai's website:

    http://www.samurai-j.com/lineup/jeans/s710xx19oz/index.html

    and I found some weird instances. (This all based on sz. 33, as that is my waist)

    1. BiG lists the leg opening at 8 inches raw, while Samurai lists it at 8+ inches washed. Is the leg opening bigger than what BiG lists it at?

    2. Samurai indicates that after being washed the thigh measures 11.3-11.7 inches, from BiG's 12.75 inches raw. Is this because BiG and Samurai measure the thigh in a different place? Because that seems like an awful lot of shrinkage, especially when people in this thread only seem to be losing about 1/2-3/4 inch in the thigh. That thigh measurement would make the 710 very very slim up top, when it really seems to be a slim straight cut.

    If anyone could comment on this I'd appreciate it. Just want to make sure that the 710xx isn't slimmer than I'm giving it credit for, looking for something more slim straight rather than a true slim cut (ie. Skull 5010xx)

    if you are looking slim straight take a look at the 500XX, my size 31's currently meausre 33w, 11.75" thigh, 8.5" knee and 8" hem, yes they were really tight after soaking but i wore them until they were dry and the waist stretched out to pre-soak measurement

  5. I fit into a 30/31 in New Standards, but I've got a larger top block. For instance, my N&F Weird Guy's are a 33, but they've stretched out too much for my liking. When I was going to make my purchase, I couldn't get the 32s over my butt. Do you have fit pics of your New Standards and 310s? I'm thinking I'm going to pull the trigger by Friday.

    my sz 32 1001's are measure 17" across so basically a 34. they took about a week to stretch out, they shrink back after every wash but stretch back out within a day now.
