Just got back from cidercon 2016 in Portland, OR. Met a ton of great people, drank more cider, beer, wine and whiskey than was good for me! Didn’t take many pics but got a couple of me in random places.

drinking some amazing British ciders

I also got my jeans back! I had sent them off to Indigo proof to fix my cuff tears and a few other small issues. Tyler came and met me one night at an amazing beer bar he had recommended and dropped my jeans off for me. Great dude, great repairs. I recommend them for any repairs you guys have coming up.

Missed these jeans a lot this last month, glad to have them back!

Nice pretty jealous. When I went to London I loved all the ciders they had on type. Nothing I have tried here has been as good   I liked that they were all pretty dry. Here I keep getting sweet ones.

What part of the country are you from, maybe I can recommend you some good ones.

check out argus cidery and texas keeper, both from Texas. I would also keep an eye out for virtue cider which I am pretty sure is available in Texas. 

[KevMcAlley]

What did you try in London? Best I've had is Thistly Cider, made from here in Scotland. Whisky Cask one being the best.

 

Will I find good cider when I go to NYC?

[pudaspriest]

You can definitely find great cider in NYC. Check out wassail, a cider bar in the lower east side.

x-post from FC thread

 

Been a long time since an update on my FCxSignet 0105ph. I've finally started to get some visible wear going. I've washed these easily over a dozen times, and sometimes I'll wash right side out. Wish Ed would pop his head back in sufu sometime; his hard work and collaboration with full count on these jeans is completely appreciated as these might be my favorite jeans out of my collection.

[KevMcAlley]

Will check that place out, thanks pudaspriest.

^nice! How often are you washing these karanimal? I ask because I perhaps foolishly associate the pioneer denim with producing those hyper-exaggerated contrast fades, which I don't really like much. Yours are much more moderate without going full "wash/dry every week" crinkly vintage fade. Good stuff.

[1fookntitefd]

^ what tag size are those flatheads and how much shrinkage did you get in the though area?

[karanimal]

10 washes, most of them hot. Haven't been washed since christmas so these are as stretched out as they get 

 

Current measurements

Waist: 18"

Front Rise: 10.5"

Back Rise: 15.5"

Hips: 21.5" <---- This shrunk the most in the top block overall and was the most noticeable change post soak and really slimmed out the top block fit. Its never stretched back to prewash. The waist does after a while 

Thigh @ Crotch: 13.15"

Thigh @ 2" Down: 12.5"

Knee 14" Down: 9.5"

Leg Opening: 8.5" (pulled tight and flat) probably closer to 8.25" naturally flat 

Inseam: 33.5" if pulled tight, 33.25" a bit less tugging 

 

EDIT: Tag Size 36

Great pair Karanimal. 

[Slowitchu]

Before:

 

 

Stiches were gone on the front pockets and pocket bags a bit frayed.

 

 

 

After wash:

^ did you have that pair tapered? If so, what is the tag size and how much did you take off the thigh, knee, and hem?
