Out in Left Field (1/1/2012-1/1/2013)

Awesome news on the soak, Kansas. As long as the waist doesn't shrink and I lose 2 inches in inseam I am happy. Probably going to wash mine this week. Glad I held off on the hem!

Been really busy and unable to post because of an awesome concert that I had Saturday night!

50 years! it was a really great time and a really great group, I'll post videos when the dvd comes out, just so happens i met Andrew for the first time when we play in here (ADH92)

A really great program was made for the concert

1800 people came out to see it, sold out of tickets! (sorry for shitty iphone pic couldn't have camera on stage warming up)

and the pants, starting to get some good things started.

[misterh]

had a few seconds to take some pics today. I'm not happy with them, but figured I'd post anyway.

one month tomorrow. daily wear. no wash. no soak. even slept in them twice.

colour is more accurate in the last pic.

guys, i did a boo-boo. my true size is 32 but I ordered a pair in 32 which actually measured as 33. Should I change my pair to a 30 (actual measurement 31) and hope it stretches out?

appreciate the help!

[kansas]

they do stretch. i ordered tts 31. they fit and feel great to me. guess size depends on what kind of fit you want. maybe wait and see what others from the peanut gallery say.

[Happy Hooligan]

Of course I haven't washed mine yet, but the waist has stretched a bit. If the legs shrink 1-2 inches the waist is going to shrink a bit too. Plus as the washings go one I would imagine they will shrink a little more....

[space.ranger]

I'm also a true size 32", and I bought the size 30 (which is true size 31"). They have stretched out a little bit (maybe 1/2") over the last few weeks, but they definitely still feel somewhat tight. I'm really hoping the waist doesn't shrink much in the wash. I also tried their size 32, but it looked way too big on me.

[bunga]

thanks for the help guys, have contacted Christian directly and gonna see what he says before deciding which size to go with, i do prefer a slimmer silhouette though.

[mapz]

bunga i like the slimmer fit as well - tts is 32 and i went with a 30 - i was trippin' for a minute but i feel like the general consensus is the top block is pretty tight to begin with, but no worries it'll stretch out.

[wgmds]

i want to see someone wash these to acid wash color. that would make an awesome summer pant.

[dkatz]

Though Christian has spoken of doing a second run of these though, maybe you can get in on that action?

Go onnnnn....?

[robbie]

I just have heard grumblings, nothing official from anyone. I got you on PM speed dial if shit gets real ...

A month in, about 3.5 weeks of solid daily wear. Everything is still pretty faint, fade wise.

Hi guys. Been playing around with my new Mamiya 7. Sadly, I had my lens hood on improperly and the corners are messed up (at least I hope that's the issue).

[Goominim]

adh92, a bit off-topic, but what size and color is that Buzz Rickson? I can't tell if it's black or blue.

[pepper davies]

It's a navy size large although I wish I had a size medium instead. I'm 6'3 and around 160.

[bunga]

ok guys, i have gone with a 32 as per Christian's advice - i wear a 32 (measured 33" on the site) in leftfield twill chinos and they fit pretty snug on it so he advised me to take the 32, i can always rinse and shrink them down to a tts 32.

can't wait to get them!

[Goominim]

Fit looks great, though.

[knucks]

great pants, i should have joined in

[Happy Hooligan]

One month update... maybe a little too sunny for the photos but you get the idea. Fades are happening. Especially on the honeycombs. And the underside of my belt has a nice blue hue to it now...

[uninkco]

^ nice

[NoSecretsBetweenSailors]

hey, 1month update. Helped a freind demo his kitchen yesterday so got a bit dirty, was time for a soak anyways. here's the pre soak pics. Giving them a quick 30min hot soak right now.

color is off in the first two pics.. those are RW Iron Rangers.

Also had my belt guy make me a camera strap. nothing fancy, just something basic.

[pepper davies]

What are you doing in those things, mate? You realize we're only a month in... Wow!

[Happy Hooligan]

damn... can't wait to see the post soak pics...

[NoSecretsBetweenSailors]

@adh92

nothing man. like the only hard wear they've gotten so far was the demo work, other then that, standard normal stuff... idk if they are a quick fading pair of what. hahaha

[xchen]

i think they are quick fading for sure. i'm not trying to do anything to exacerbate the fading though as i need the too look dressy for work for as long as possible, especially if i am going to make it to the end of the year.

[surly]

I did a quick shower rinse yesterday. Not enough change to bother with photos, but they didn't really seem to lose much color (the black chinos, that is) when I rinsed them.

[knucks]

That's so sick. FUCK I WANT LOL

[mapz]

nosecrets cough up them post-soak pics!

Hi guys. Here's a quick video from last night. My friend Vince was recording for some big summer festivals so I was manning the camera. After we finished up I recorded one take of a couple excerpts... Thought I should show what I can do. Excerpts are from Beethoven 9 and Brahms 1. Wearing, 3Sixteen, Left Field, and Toms (whoops).

I don't know how to embed, so click the preview to watch the video.
