Thank you very much!!!

How quick was the turnaround for the hems? They just did a waste reduction on a pair of mine and did a fantastic job but they had my jeans for over 5 weeks.  You'd never know they were altered aside from the Railcar button where the original waistband button used to be.

RCFG does hemming job much quicker than tapering and waist jobs. Hemming is 2-3 days, tapering is 2-3 weeks. I've sent in pair for tapering a couple of weeks ago... they're getting a lot of business. 

[ShootThePier]

I'm close enough that shipping is around 24 hours. That said, I think 15 days total out of my hands.

was that button optional?  Or something they just did?  Im considering a waist reduction on a pair but they have donut buttons and I dont want a branded button on top

They state in the description on the website about using a Railcar button. 

• The original button can not be reused for the downsizing service, it will be replaced with a Railcar button. We do not recommend sizing down over two inches as waistband to hip proportions will be too drastic.

I much preferred the original button but it's no big deal as it's not a detail that I care much about. I would highly recommend this service if you're considering it. My pants were huge since I sized for my thighs and it got to a point where I stopped wearing them because the waist would drop below my belt or I'd have to cinch my belt so tight to hold them up that it would look really weird in the crotch area. Very unflattering. Now they fit much better and I'm back to wearing them everyday.

Hmm wonder why they can't re use the button? I thought you could take these things apart and put them back together. Also just want to say that the waist reduction is such an awesome service, especially now that they use the original waistband.

[garden gnomes in space]

yea the pants Im considering down sizing have black donut buttons so this is a no-go.

Railcar Vixen X037

Breaking in a new pair of our Vixen X037 selvedge stretch! I am wearing a size 27 which i am in all Railcar styles. The fabric feel very firm but breathable, a good weight 13.5 oz red line selvedge. Aside from the Railcar Starlet, this has to be the second easiest jean from our line to break in and wear comfortably.

You can get the Journeyman fit in our X026 double black Japanese red-line selvedge fabric. Just checkout for a Journeyman on the site and in the order notes write that you want it in the X026 fabric and we will do just that, no extra charge.

Taylor can you confirm that the thigh measurements taken at the crotch are 13" for size 31?

Yes, just around 12.75" to 13"

Just thought i'd share the other side of Railcar, some have discovered us through our pomade! It's great when someone comes into the shop to buy pomade monthly and one days asks why we have all these vintage machines and denim laying around, when we tell them that we are originally a denim company that manufactures our own apparel in house they are stoked! One of the members on our team found us through our pomade, he slowly kept stopping by, one day came in to buy his first pair of raws, now he is apart of the Railcar family   I use the pomade to de-frizz and tame baby hairs so it can be unisex. Anyone here ever try out our grooming products?

^I'm on my third jar of pomade, and won't use anything else. You guys got the scent, hold and amount of shine just right. Customer for life! I don't usually use aftershave, especially because I barely grow any facial hair, but may give it a try eventually haha.

@Taylor_RFG I had a question about your Journeyman fit I was hoping you could answer (DM always welcome)... I see that most "athletic" fits that work for me have a large thigh 2" down, but (on average) measures just about the same at the crotch. I see Railcar's fit starts out large at the crotch, and then has a ~1" taper two inches down. Is there any benefit in doing that? I've always been interested in trying some jeans but worried it'll fit too tight despite it being roomy at the crotch

e.g. 13" @ crotch going down to 12" two inches below

vs 

12.5" @ crotch and the same two inches down.

We wanted to make it a modern straight leg so it isn't too wide in the thigh area however it is wider than our Spikes fit. We have had customer size up then taper the leg profile to their liking. We find taking the measurements 2" below the crotch is a more accurate thigh measurement than taking it right at the crotch where most of the geometry of the seat is.
