[aho]

Ouch....made a pilgrimage to BiG a few times the past few days in NY....They didn't have my size so unfortunately I won't be joining in for this contest...Congrats to everyone on entering, it will be a joy to follow this over the next two years!

[vand23]

that's a great fit joelz...

Today i pick up my jeans from local post cause i have to pay custom fee

and i got number ....

[joelz]

Thanks guys, and sorry tv, you'll get yours soon enough!

[rky]

For those of you who have received and soaked, how much shrinkage have you seen in your inseam length?

[xchen]

Haven't received but the rule of thumb is usually 3 inches.

[pragmatics]

this waiting is killing me. I check this thread about 4 times a day to see if anyone has heard anything.

[beatle]

I heard nada. Gonna check in with Gordon later tonight..

Do tell Beats when you get word. Word.

[ranonranonarat]

mine shrunk almost 3 inches so they're exactly the length i want right now. gave mine a 6 hour hot soak last night (wanted to soak them for 2 hours but fell asleep at night) but good thing is that most of the shrinkage is out. love the fit of them! my dream fit.

[beatle]

will do, no worries...

[chambo2008]

hey ran! picture's allready bro

[beatle]

Word

...we finally received papers for the 811 shipment so they're

set to be released hopefully today or tomorrow.

yes !

[reallypeacedoff]

Yes! Still 2 week wait but that news is good news! Thanks Beats.

[beatle]

Thanks for being patient....

[chambo2008]

5 more days till i start to wear...

[sitdemet]

5 more days till the contest start but i still haven't get the jeans

[viv1984viv]

welly welly welly... I think my dad has actually managed to get my jeans.

any UK Sufuians get stung with customs charges? I'd like to compare and contrast...

[chambo2008]

i asked the main man to mark down the package, so no fee for me

[brahgg]

They're finally here! So happy right now, except for the crushing realization that I'll still have to wait a couple days because of shipping

[viv1984viv]

i asked the main man to mark down the package, so no fee for me

mine was marked down too, and marked as a gift. But a minor customs fee, meant they could slap ludicrous admin/handling fee's on top. Just wondered....

[chambo2008]

yeah fucking parcel force, happend to me before from something from japan, if i remember it correctly was about £30 handling charge

[Alex3000]

Damn I need to get mine hemmed still, over night shipping here I come.

[po_boy_fuuma_hatesbargerz]

beatle tell me when you'e got yours.

i'm still rockin' Sugarcane Okinawas, ~1.5 years or so. Here's a photo of some external repairs:

1) Left knee patch, rough I know, but I think it's cute. Used some old denim from a pair of beat-up Earnest Sewns.

2) Left pocket repair, the bags were pretty much destroyed, also hand-stitched using old Earnest Sewns.

I've got some other repairs on the crotch and rear, but I'm still at school, so it'd be really awkward trying to get a snap of my butt. Glad to hear the 2nd shipment of 811s are finally headin' out!

[xchen]

Just Another XY, those are looking sweet! I need more Sugar Canes (Hawaiis, though).

Glad to these jeans getting where they need to go. Can't wait for this denim!

[salaami]

yeah the pocket bags don't look as tasty as the protoypes but i guess it would wear away eventually anyway...plus the only one that will see it is the owner. canes are a monster!

[Solix]

Word. I'm pretty sure Sugar Cane is my favorite brand in terms of denim they use. Every denim they use has such unique character. I'm just waiting on SE to collab me more cuts. I'm not a big fan of anti-fit.

Back on topic looks as if I'm not getting my pair till mid-Novemberish since they were just obtained this week. Until then have fun with your pairs everyone! Fits are looking on point!

sorry for bad quality picture.

[-Z-]

^that post soak fit is mighty fine!

what are you guys seeing for domestic standard (cheap) shipping times on the jeans. never ordered from BiG before so i'm not sure how long they take. 5-7 days i'm guessing??

[beatle]

XY - no worries, will do
