Are postals available online only or can you find them at retail stores?

I would love to see some pics of portals with a little wear, or some shots of the weft

Those knights look great. I still have a pair but I only wear them very occasionally.

I'd be happy to b.s. with anyone who wants to start a contest. The problem with a third contest at mynudies was lack of interest. So, that would be the biggest hurdle imo. From what I've read, starting bnwt could be an issue here as well.

My first advice would be to try to find a sponsor. With a sponsor in place you can just dictate terms and rules. The prize money in the second mynudies contest was funded by the contestants. When you do that, a level of democracy in the process should prevail. Don't get me wrong; it was enjoyable and i have nothing bad to say about it. It just made it more complex to give everyone a voice in how it all went down.

any updated pics? I recently got the postal's and the BBQ's but I have too many in my rotation for a decent evo.

No updates because I got a massive crotch tear about a week ago. They didn't really fade though. If I wanted something to stay dark and fresh forever I'd probably pick up another pair.

In case anyone is interested, I am deciding to sell my pair of 501stf in raw indigo. They were only hot soaked and worn for a few hours to a KIA dealership and a Magic the Gathering draft. Love the denim and color, but the fit isn't very flattering on me. Will try a size smaller next time, or maybe get it tapered? Tagged size 31x34. Actual measurement 32x31.5. Leg opening 8in. Willing to let go cheap.

Dude! Beautiful slim fit for a pre-shrink. I'm surprised you fit into those!

Good luck on the shrink. Let us know how it went.

[rockon99]

^doesnt look like they shrank that much. probably because they didn't.. soak again or be surprised when you finally wash them for the first time. its your call though. lol

[AntiHero84]

Agreed on the fit.

Hookups, how did you size? TTS or size-down?

[Cj98]

Sizing is all sorts of messed up with these jeans. I had a pair of sand colored ones that were tts and fit like skinny's and then sized down 1 on some indigo ones and they fit loose.

[lwkeung]

personally, i find i have to size down 2 for the indigo ones.

i wear size 32 in 511, and bought a 31 indigo 501 stf that fit too baggy.

next levi sale that comes around, i'll be buying a size 30 indigo 501 stf.

Trade in ANY pair of Jeans. Doesn't have to be Levi's. It's best to trade-in some cheap jeans.

But I think trade-in offer is over already!

[adrianghaust]

Bought TTS waist and 1 size longer for inseam.

Hello.

I usually wear levis 501 not stf 30x34, stf bought 31x36.

What is it "tts"?

Thanks.

[AntiHero84]

TTS means True To Size. That's an incredible fit if you sized-up one.

Hi,

How is it not similar? First thing I checked in ur link was the back pocket stitching, it's similar at least to me. I checked the red tab, similar as well. Colors of rivet are the same. Color of thread as well.

Am I missing out something?

Edited January 8, 2012 by adrianghaust

In your photos back pockets are different (shape, colors of stitching) and loops belt are different.

Compare yours with websites.

Are you sure you have 501110011?

Oh my, I just realized the different in stitch color. I made a terrible mistake. I was confused and I wasn't sure how I get the number 50111011. Probably wrong information I got from online. Mine is 00501-1165. Thanks for pointing that out.

^^ liking the vintagy fade. how did you size on them?

[Levis501]

My 32x36 that fit perfect for 3 months are now too baggy for my liking. I got a new pair today and sized down 2...yikes, these are going to take a lot of breaking in. Think I might just get a 31x36
