  1. I've been a fan of my rainbow moccashoes but those are made with crappy leather and with crappy construction. I'm looking for their replacement for a comfy, casual, and bitchin everyday shoe. 

     

    So I'm thinking of starting a "These Shoe" fund for these shoes:

    Are their crepe soles worth it? I feel like it'd feel a lot better on the feet than the flat vibram stuff, but it also says to avoid petroleum based products as they might dissolve. I don't really want to be changing shoes to go to the gas station or anything.

     

    But I'm really a fan of casual leather shoes or boots in this vein if anyone has different or better suggestions.

  2. Not only are my OA02s the best cut I've ever worn for me, the denim is INCREDIBLE and insanely comfortable even from day 1. Knowing I'm wearing a very well-made repro cut, and supported an awesome company are bonuses too. AND to top it off, I get compliments all the time. People who don't even like jeans like these jeans!

     

    I've never been happier with a pair of jeans in my life and I've got you guys and this thread to thank for that. Thanks!

  3. I set the machine to "hot" on the first wash to get all the shrink out. Then "cold" washes, inside out from then on.

    Hang dry usually too after a gentle spin (if i can catch it before it starts.) Unless I'm in a rush I'll machine dry on "air fluff"

     

    I use any detergent without bleach, as that sort of scares me.

     

    Do you guys measure with thermometers or do I just use ancient washing machines? lol

  4. Got my jeans today! I didn't take any pre-soak pics because I knew they'd be pretty big since Ooes are known to shrink a bunch. And I was just anxious to toss them in the wash! Actually if you want to see a pre-wash fit, check their instagram and on the picture of some OA02xxs, the tags and numbers matched the pair I got. I guess I got the last one of the old cut or something?

     

    I did take pre-wash measurements though

     

    OA02XX-0714

    Size 33/36

    Waist: 16"

    Thigh: 11.5" (from crotch seam out straight)

    Front Rise: 12"

    Forgot back rise lol

    Hem: 8.25"

    Inseam: 35.25" (from crotch seam down the leg)

     

    Even just putting them on the hanger they looked like they shrank a bunch. I'll update later today with pics and measurements once they're dry.

  5. The 3sixteens measure shorter than Left field I'm tempted to try out LF since 3sixteen is pretty dang short. You can't even really size up in 3sixteen since it barely gets any longer but a lot wider.

  6. Just got into my #1 University! Rewarded myself with the OA02XX! 

     

    I'll do the whole BIG measurements pre and post, along with a week's wear measurement

  7. I'm not entering the tux division, but wouldn't those choosing chambray or linen kind of be doing themselves a disservice since those fabrics are considerably harder to fade? If anything, the ones with the jackets would already have a leg up, right?
