  1. Finally got my Samurai S510xx 21oz from Drew. What a swell fella Drew is and after a hot wash/dry, these are PERFECT -- but I do need the length altered. My only regret is....WHAT TOOK ME SO LONG TO DISCOVER SAMURAI ?? These jeans feel indestructible and formidable in a manner that I personally haven't seen before. Glad I went with a Sz 31 -- post shrink a 30 would have been too snug for my liking.

  2. Off to work ! Side note, I have long felt that bras are oppressive

    and useless. I wrote a passionate essay on the topic in

    undergraduate college

    ("Let the poor and suppressed breast be free"

    and I won an award !). Even if I were built like Selma Hayek,

    I would not wear a bra. The bra is a relic from the Victorian

    Era, when women were oppressed and treated like shit.

  3. that is what i'm about to do as well.. very excited.

    I have strayed outside of IH and I'm super glad for it. IH makes awesome jeans but so do others. No reason we shain't spread the love !

  4. They have a higher rise and a wider leg.

    Kiya is right. They kinda remind me of 70s style jeans, like the kind Richard Gere used to wear before American Gigolo made him famous. I bought a gently used pair from laxlife (sz 30) and they fit awesome-ly. My Mum thinks these SG 1103ex are my most flattering and best fitting pair...more than ROY and more than iH !

  5. hahaShub, I talked you into this pair? you came to me ;)

    but congratz! I'm looking for your fit pics :)

    Yup, admitted - I came to you.

    What I meant is that you, beautiful_FrEaK,

    "talked through electromagnetic radiation (also called WiFi

    which makes accessible the the Internet, which shows up as SuFu)...

    from a different continent". You talked by loving and wearing

    lots of Samurai on SuFu and I noticed.

  6. Shubs, few things. Why no hem? Why do you wear men's underwear? Belt? No disrespect intended, just curious.

    No probs Lando. My nephews ask me the same thing. Why do you wear men's underwear Auntie Shubha ?

    Two reasons:

    1) They are more comfortable to me (Men's boxers).

    2) And I like wearing underwear which can easily double as yoga shorts in a pinch. I'm a minimalist at heart. If there's a way to get multiple use out of stuff, I'll go for it. I've worn men's underwear for the past decade...once I started, I can't do women's stuff anymore, I've grown to love Men's undergarments so much !!! I don't wear a bra either (in case you haven't noticed).

    I'm not very feminine, though I'm not mannish either. I'm what you call a total granola chick. And yeah...belts feel wrong on me. You've met me Lando...I come up to your knees, I'm so short ! I think to pull off belts, you at least have to have long legs, which I do not...mine are kinda short and athletic.

    Ahhh....the hem. Well, that's a story. I no longer get stuff altered at the store, because I want the opportunity to return them if shit doesn't fit. So I just get them altered at a local tailor (no chain-stitch) after a hot wash&dry -- I don't do cuffs anymore either (same reason...I'm SHORT). I prefer the stacking...

    But I'm not really fashionable. I'm kinda sloppy, which suits me fine...I just go for what's ME, which is kinda high-schoolish and sloppy. I do appreciate fine denim though...which is why I absolutely cannot revert to crap denim anymore. BUT, what's more important to me is comfort and universality...which is why I wear trail runners a lot. Universality, applicability to a variety of lifestyle/work activities, and flexibility are the most important things to me when it comes to material possessions.

    I gave up on belts finally. I think I'm too short (5'2" on a good day) to pull them off. Somehow

    they don't look good on me.

    Well, I just performed 1.25 hours of yoga and am about to take Lacy

    on a walk. Have a great Sunday everyone ! (Do NOT go to church !)

  8. Great fit laxlife, what size?

    According to the IH thread, Sz 30 is what laxlife wears. I agree laxlife -- those look awesome on you. To wear the 666 Devils Fit effectively, you really do have to be a skinny, bony ass. I'm lean but don't really have that body type -- nobody would call me super skinny, If you're not that (skinny, bony, smallish ass), you can probably pull it off with the right attitude, but they look best on super skinny people (think elclintor and kayodic too -- 666 Devils Fit look awesome on those two). I don't doubt that Beats would look awesome in them -- she's got the bod for them.

  9. ME: I've got too much fucking hair ! I have the opposite problem to balding...I could use some thinning out.

    Believe it or not, it's only taken me a year and a half to get from bald to now !

    Kayodic, fantastic to see women in engineering/science, from one woman engineer to another...

    There are far too few female geeks in this world.

  10. So, regardless of whether SE's measurements have them measured as 32", I should be able to make ROY's size 30 work?

    In this case, go with the ROY Sz 30 only if your True Waist is 32. Looks like you`ve lost out though cuz every size is SOLD OUT.

  11. Now I have no idea if these will fit. I recently came into possession of a pair of SG 2105 in size 29 whose waist is supposed to--according to kiya--measure 30.5. I can't even get these things half way up my ass. No doubt, with some work over the next month, I'll make them fit, but it has me wondering if the 30 in the Roy Ducks might work.

    In my opinion, go TTS with ROYs. Sz 30s are a tad loose on me after frequent wear but that's how I like them. When I got them fresh, they were a little snug for my tastes. Shrunk em up, they're even snugger. Now they're back to where they were pre-hot-soak when I first got em, even bigger. IMHO, the ROYs turn out just right if you go TTS...not too tight, not too loose.

  12. kiya, why is the Sz 30 in the new ROY ducks so huge?? Even after shrinkage, I`ll be swimming in those. I have purchased W31 from SelfEdge before and they were not flattering on me. These ROY ducks Sz 30 will shrink down to a W 31.5 and will stretch back out to a W32 which makes them unwearable by many SuFu`ers. As the owner of two pair of ROY denim-Nihon & narrows in Sz 30, I can safely say that ROY stuff stretches AT LEAST an inch if not more. I`m certain that my ROYs are a W30 now if not more, after frequent wear, post initial hot wash & tumble dry. With ROYs, they're eventually gonna fit sizewise exactly like they fit brand new...but better/not as stiff.

  13. kayodic, love your outfit today, and those jeans !!! I'm surprised

    that a teeny-tiny gal like you can wear Red Wings.

    I'm bummed that I can't....they don't make a shoe size small

    enough for me (Men's 5). The only decent looking, quality and

    comfortable chunky boots I can wear are Danner, where a few

    styles are made in women's sizes.

    is it that cold today in Holland b_F?

    Max, wish i could rep you....

    also in Holland but not Leeuwarden
