garden gnomes in space

The Eagle has landed:

a nice single .5" cuff with no break looks really sharp on these, 

His response sounds almost like intentional eccentricity.  They are jeans not a Picasso, how could a few wash/dry cycles drastically alter the garment in any way outside of what is to be expected when washing/drying unsanforized denim?  

those measurements scared me off, despite the statement that they stretch out.  a tagged 38 measures 32" !!!!!!

Just got my Bakers Oxfords resoled for the third time.  Went with the white gloxi cut for a change of pace.  They are much lighter than the christy sole I had on there and about as spongy as the original 2021.

Edit: LOL, there is some weird compression happening in the pics, maybe because i shot in portrait orientation but these shoes look smaller than they actually are

I wanted the Golden Gate because of the 01 cut but the denim raw was like 16.5 oz.  Thats too heavy in my opinion.  I would love an OA01 cut with the normal denim...

Sorry if this was already addressed; Do we have an ETA on when to expect the new jeans? Will they go through the same process of being shipped to the PI, and then shipped out to us, or will they be sent from TCB directly? Understanding that they likely need all pairs back first before they can proceed. Need to know if I should buy new jeans in the interim, or if I can bear with my...tighter than expected...Ooe's for a week or two!

the answer is yes.  at least it was for me

FedEx would have cost me $90.  USPS was like $32.

They look good @garden gnomes in space! How did you size? I’m worried an 11 would be too small on me and 12 would be too large. 

what is your "standard" size?

I bought a 10 in these.  I wear a 10 in Whites, a 10.5 in Nike, 10.5 in New Balance.  When I stand on a brannock device Im right at 10.5

Anyone going to be picking up the standard & strange/lofgren/tsptr sneakers? Thinking about grabbing a pair just debating about what size I should go for. 

I copped the white ones today.  They all look great though to be honest.  

i cant do low rises either.  At the same time, I share Volvo's sentiment about the gut.  Over the past 1.5 years I have gained 25 pounds and am having a hell of time dropping any of it.  I am not really exercising and I drink too much red wine so I cant really say I have been trying but regardless having a gut and a 12"+ front rise is almost as bad as a ball busting 10.5" rise.  One problem I am having as of late with the TCB 20's is that when I am standing up I am constantly having to pull them up but when I sit it hits right where my stomach fat rolls up and chokes me haha.  

I didn’t put anything in the pockets so I am working the peasant angle as well. 

So i dropped my pair off at the post office, didnt bother documenting them to this point as this was like a passionate love affair that came crashing to an end.  

would it work for this guy though?

All jokes aside, really liking the details and subtlety of the product

got a thick neck?

it's quite generous - 20.5" buttoned up (and 21.5" open, end-to-end)

haha I watch that headbutt from time to time to get a laugh. What a send off!

When are you trading your denim tuxedo for the standard Nice attire of white linen pants, loafers with no socks and a sweater worn over your shoulders?

The measurements for the 105 look nice gnomes, how's the back rise?
If I can ever track down a size 5 from Japan with proper tab placement I'd likely buy a pair.

17"

I really just want to find a pair of 105's from Japan so they have the tab in the normal location.

One day I'll find a pair.

I’ll measure the back rise and report back but for all intents and purposes it feels properly proportioned with the front. Nothing feels weird. 

size 5 orslow 105's, after warm wash tumble dry BiG style

W: 36"

FR:12.5"

BR: 17"

Thigh: 13.5"

Inseam. 32.5"

Leg Opening: about 8.25-8.5"

I have seen measurements for the same size saying thigh is 12", even 11.5".  Shameful  

Im sending mine back this week or early next week.  Seeing as these are the only pants I own that fit at the moment I was "forced" to finally order a pair of orslow 105's which should be here tomorrow
