class!

They were too tight, but then I lost weight, hence why I am not selling them anymore!

Great job there bradl!

I'd love to join the tour if the size is W34.

I've been wearing almost exclusively my 425h for the past month and a half, very happy w them. will post an update soon!

beautiful pair there Mega! that cut fits you perfect as well!

parcel sent to the denim doctor! I'll keep you posted on that.

feck it I think I'll do it. the denim doctor asked as well to not give him measurements but rather send along w the UES a good fitting pair of jeans that he could use as a template, which I like. I'll send my beloved, torn and multi repaired pair of Edwin's ed67, my first introduction to the world of raws, and still one of my best fitting pairs. they have the same rise and a similar silhouette as the UES so they should work fine as a template.

just heard from the denim doctor. 27 quids plus postage to take in the seat and thigh area from the inner inseam and a new chainstitch hem. I think I'll do it. love the shade of blue your getting on those 400T...

hey thanks guys. I'll give a ring to the denim doctor and see what he could do for me.

since nobody seems to want to buy my pair I am starting to think about having my 400t professionally altered to suit more my body shape (taken in at thighs and hips, the waist could do even if it's loose). any reccomendation to a good specialized tailor who won't fuck up with the selvedge? EU based it's a must.

After shrinkage and stretch they'll be where they are raw. Have you spoken to Lee about an exchange? (Presuming you bought directly)

yeah I told him that the fit wasn't working for me but I guess the fact that the jeans were soaked and hemmed to a 31.5L and that the patch has the contest date excludes any chance to get an exchange. not to mention the fact that UES ran off of the 34w supply in stock.

The 34w measures 35.5" raw. If you do just a couple of hand soaks rather than in the machine the shrinkage will be minimal and the pair I have stretched back out to raw size.

Hi Danny thanks for the tip, unfortunately I ordered a size 36 and then I lost six kilos! Fuck it!

They're huge for me at the moment..

it's aging fast and it's going to look cool with those indigo stains as I wear a denim jacket more or less everyday!

 

bonus pic of my certina blue ribbon 1977 watch. it was made by Certina for Volvo. Every Volvo worker in Sweden, from the top managers to factory workers got one of these in 1977 for the 50° anniversary.

me too.. those 800's look really amazing

well my plan for 2014 it's to stay as healthy as I can so I'll do my best to not get weight. I've also given up cigarettes and started for the first time in my adult life to go to the gym. so don't say it again for f**k sake!!! ahaha!

well I have a similar issue as Marti here. I lost weight because of a very  intense working period in december, then I lost more weight in january because I got the chicken pox (that was terrible btw!). so now I am about 6 kg less than what I was when I ordered my pair. I am wearing most of the time a pair of red clouds that I thought to sell because they were too tight! ah well it's not too bad after all. first time in my life that I loose weight not on purpose!

 

sorry for the shameless plug - but my jeans are still for sale - please help me re-home a great pair! link under the signature. open to offers. pm me. ciao.

It can be done though. If you roll back at the beginning of the topic you will find photos of a resoled pair of Clark's desert boots, posted by user Chicken
