I personally don't think any less of the products. I already knew that he hadn't been sewing for very long when I bought my jeans. In fact, it was stuff like the crazy red jeans that bothered me more product-wise than any of this and those didn't ruin the more faithful repros that he made. That didn't matter to me. It's not like they were supposed to be Roy or Ooe levels of stitching beauty. I still think the products generally achieve what they aim for and they are impressive for that. I'm selling my 2 new pairs and the jacket I still have because I cannot wear them in good conscience. I know that it's going to bother me if I keep wearing them. I'm too disgusted by all of this. This isn't to say that you cannot separate the man from the product completely. I'm just saying that I can't right now.

It may or may not be the same pair, but I just saw a pair of the same description on Yahoo auctions for a steal.

I'll look again, but last time I checked the Sugar Canes the measurements didn't work for me. I should give FW another look. I had a pair from them previously thst I liked.

That's every pair of jeans I've had in the last year. These are at least two inches 2 inches too big in the waist. I don't know how loose I can go in the waist just to get a seat that actually fits. Haha It does make jeans sizing difficult. Oh yeah you're right. If I hadn't waited so long, I probably wouldn't be thinking about it so much. To be clear: If I do sell them, it absolutely will not be because of the tab.

I'm thinking about selling mine still... can't decide right now. Will probably not wear them for a little bit until I make the decision. Some of me is thinking that they're just jeans, but part of me also knows this will be in the back of my head when I wear them. At this point, I think I've won the bad timing awards having waited this long just for this to happen... and for my tab to be missing. Even if he was legally in the right (and I don't think he is) it would still be a dick move and to me, that's the worst part. It's just so incredibly selfish. Anyway. Here are some fit photos of the size 34 46 pair while I make my decision.

That seems really low from Yoshiaki...

I think we might be a similar size now too, so I'm extra worried if you're still down in LA...

Yeah that is one of the things I would be worried about.

No worries. That was a huge post so I don't blame you. Yeah I won't be sending them back. I'm sure Rain could do it as you suggest. The issue there would of course be the wait.

I mean, this was my initial inclination if you look at my initial post. I'm just letting myself get influenced when people say it's a glaring mistake. I've just been wearing them. I'd like the tab if he can send it to me, but no I'm not going to send them back to him. When he told me he "forgot" I just laughed and figured it was appropriate for the jeans, making them a "one of one." I am genuinely curious about how to attach it though. Could be a fun thing for me to do if I can figure it out. I'm not handy at all though. It's an interesting thing for me to try to figure out.

Good call thanks! I asked for thread as well. That's part of the issue. I can't think of a way to make this happen easily. I was wondering if it would be possible to undo some the the stitching on the pocket and then just match the stitching holes by hand with the same thread if he sends it to me. That's what the guy who shortened the sleeves on my leather jackets did. He had to go in through the front of each jacket and he match the stitching so well by hand I could barely tell the difference.

Does anyone have any advice on the best method to attach it as subtly as possible?

Already got a reply from him saying he will send it. Now to find someone to do a decent job of it.

It's more about me being the least handy person in the universe and not trusting myself to put it on.

Haha indeed! I've debated asking him to send me one just so I can try to get it on somehow.
