a little early to ask, but just curious beats, who will be the ones judging these at the end of the 2 years? just wanted to see if you could throw a few names around if possible.

[kit99bar]

I suspect there will be an influx of last minute buyers (including me) who have yet to scrounge up the money to join...

[xchen]

When buying online you usually only have to pay state sales tax if the store is based in the same state you live in. I am pretty sure you can forget about the sales tax but keep in mind the shipping costs.

[rOeLez]

havent see my name on the list please put me in 36 TTS

[ah_long]

do you guys know if we should put in the hemming request at the time of order like any other BIG order?

[ranonranonarat]

i told gordon my hemming request and he took note of it now, so im pretty sure its fine telling him now.

[xchen]

What are you guys getting them hemmed to? I'm definitely going to get several inches cut off but don't want to cut off too much.

[commodorewheeler]

A quick question on pricing,

"There is no longer New York City sales tax on the

purchase of clothing and footwear regardless of

the amount. The current total sales tax is 4.375%

down from 8.375%, for all clothing and footwear.

Sales tax only applies to New York residents and

any purchases made in store."

Does that mean there is no tax?

Just want to make sure because I need to get one of those visa gift card things.

It means that if you are an NY resident (or buying in-store), you pay 4.375% state sales tax when you buy from BiG.

If you are located outside of NY, you don't pay any sales tax at all.

[commodorewheeler]

What are you guys getting them hemmed to? I'm definitely going to get several inches cut off but don't want to cut off too much.

I don't like to cuff, and I think the legs on this cut are wide enough when you go TTS so that they won't stack great, so I'll probably get mine hemmed to my normal inseam.

[chambo2008]

damn there is still age's to wait, gonna wear my momo's non stop before the start date!

[beatle]

there's no official list..if you pulled the trigger you can just post a quick - I'm in

[hiyo]

What's your normal inseam and what are you hemming to? (Taking account the shrinkage?)

[chantheman]

im sure you can tell gordon you would like a post wash inseam of (blank). by the time the jeans are sent out he should have an idea of the shrinkage of these so i can figure out how much to hem to give you the post shrink inseam you desire. at least thats how it was for the warehouse contest

[efujobu1]

^^what he said. Gordon will confirm your post wash inseam. Just e-mail him. He did it for me.

[xxhalcyonxx]

Before Wash

After Wash

[ah_long]

that's sum really drastic shrinkage for the inseam.. I usually wear 31~32 inseam, I got them to hem mine to a 34.5 inseam in its RAW state.. hopefully it will shrink to around 31.5 ~ 32 inch inseam.. if it's too long, I'll fly myself down to NY to get them hemmed again

[commodorewheeler]

What's your normal inseam and what are you hemming to? (Taking account the shrinkage?)

I normally wear a 30" inseam, and I was going to ask Gordon to hem to 33.5" inseam raw.

[beatle]

yeah - I want to wear them sort of short - will have them hemmed to a 33 - should turn out to be 30.5

[dawei69]

Just want confirm a few details before i put money down.

1. Are the belt loop ridged?

2. Is it 100% cotton stitching Thread?

3. is the leather different from the regular leather in terms of material? (lamb/pig/deer/cow)

4. What kind of material are the buttons? (iron, nickle, alloy etc..) i.e. will they rust and age beautifully, or stay the same...?

[beatle]

Before I give you wrong answers I forwarded your very detailed questions to Gordon

[reallypeacedoff]

Because they are a wider hem for me, stacking would look messy with a long inseam so getting these hemmed to a 34 post wash and cuffing ~1" (or ~2" depending on how the rise sits) as I have a 33" inseam...

[xchen]

I placed my order and requested a 34 inseam post wash.

[joelz]

I'm in - size 33, requesting a 32" inseam post wash
