Cannot wait to be able to pickup a pair of these!

Steven, my viper size is actually in between 26-27. i can pull off size 26 in brown viper, top block and thigh are tight but it's ok, i can stretch em out for sure.

Viper 002 (brown keihara)

i assume that sizing is also the same for Donna? and since the fabric is American Cone stretch denim, so it will be fine for women to go with smaller size if they're in between 2 sizes right?

Our fits are just right there. They fit true to tag size snug but okay to size up if between without it being oversized.

Yeah, for the Donnas it is okay to size down like you said, to get them real snug as they are Cone lighter weight 2% stretch.

seriously, how can you beat that service?

[Steven RFG]

Just wanted to say we have some new sizes for our styles.

Mens Spikes fit mid/low rise straight slim is now offered in tag size 29 and 38. All sizes are 35 inch inseam.

Womens Viper fit mid/low rise slim skinny is now offered in tag size 30 and 31.

Both styles has an awesome grade. Fits flattering throughout the whole size range.

Our fit specs will be updated shortly on our site.

I really should not be buying more pants, but the brown Spikes have me itching. Is the brown denim sanforised, and do you have some close up pictures of the fabric?

they look great. i wanted to jump on a pair last summer but the aw contest came back around. the price now is a steal.

[Steven RFG]

Just wanted to give some of our updates.

Our online store is now accepting credit cards. It use to only accept PayPal. But now it accepts Visa, Mastercard and Discover. And it still accepts PayPal. Just got the credit card service up today. So order away!

Also here is a picture of our new larger tag size 38. Picture shown are mens Spikes X002 fabric 14.75oz in the tag size 38. Actual waistband is about 40 inches. The girl holding it is about 103 pounds (size 24) to give you a perspective of the size. We dont only make jeans for small people!

The Spikes fit is very well graded. Even in a size 36 and size 38, the Spikes fits really fitted, not like skinnys.

Hi tcc. We just found your order. Your order was placed on Feb 14 @ 5:56pm. Our shop was closed at that time as well. It is currently the afternoon of Feb 22. Less then a week. It does take a little time to prepare goods and international orders.

Please cancel your order if you wish.

Thank you for your interest in Railcar and sorry for your experience.

[TTC]

Thanks for getting back to me. Just needed to know what's going on. Any idea when they would ship? Kind of assumed they were in stock as size and everything was on the site. Guess I'm used to SE shipping same day as order?

[TTC]

All good. We're in contact now. Thanks for the fast response.

[jpik]

ttc, steven is great to deal with, apart from an excellent product his service is top notch. He answered emails from me at times that I didn't even expect a reply until the following day!

I'm sure you will love them.

[Steven RFG]

Got some new stuff. Our new Spring Summer mens Spikes X005. Light weight 12oz Cone Mills blue line selvedge. I really dont know how these are going to fade or stretch. Brand new for us. Literally we just finished a few today here at the workshop. Same Railcar details as our other styles. Double waistband continuous tucked chain stitch, Railcar "R" fly stitching, washer burr riveting, Railcar donut buttons, chain stitch bottom hem, tucked belt loops, selvedge in the fly, and coin pocket, ect..... These Spikes X005 is our first style with a single tone stitching that is a yellowish bronzish color. Should be a good pair of jeans for those hot and muggy days.

We still need to do some fit pictures. But here are some stills to check out.

[Steven RFG]

Whats up guys/gals, just wanted to post up that we just made our final last production of our womens Viper 002. We only made about 6 pieces per size. 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31. Its our 12oz Japanese brown non-selvedge 100% cotton non-stretch. Super unique denim color. It has all our Railcar details such as chain stitch bottom hem, continuous waistband tucked chain stitching to prevent unraveling, heavy thick raw leather patch, ect.... Get them while you still can. Please feel free to email or PM me if you have questions.

[Steven RFG]

Just shot a quick video here at the Railcar workshop of sewing the inseam chain stitch using our vintage surplus U.S. Navy Union Special chain stitch machine.

[Happy Hooligan]

I think I'm in love... what model is that? And it's from the Navy too... very nice...

[Steven RFG]

51 series. Yeah, it sews that inseam slow and smooth.

[DFreshLeish]

Yeah that machine was definitely one of the highlights of the trip for us, very cool to know a little history behind it and how limited it is.

[kayodic]

oh yes... New Railcar womens Viper X004, 12oz NATURAL Cone Mills red line selvedge.

And the engineers for the womens fit pic on page 1 are sexy as hell. What are they and why dont more girls wear engies???

[kayodic]

^thank you! they're red wing 2971. i love my brown denim too and you better get yours before they're gone (limited run).

[kayodic]

my Viper X001, roughly 3 months of wear, no soak no wash

[beautiful_FrEaK]

you call that subtle fading? combs look pretty good for 3 months!

[kayodic]

^i compared em to my other jeans, so i would call it "subtle" and such combs because of slim/skinny cut. does the fading remind you of lvc?
