Did he come away with any clobber in the end Neal?

Nope... at 15 he's long outgrown kids clothes, he's my height..5' 11" and wears a size S in hoodies, tees, jackets and such but if these are slightly too big, it matters not.. but i bet his waist is something like 27" (maybe less) because he's yet to fill out.. we went shopping for jeans just because it's impossible to buy jeans online when you're in this sizing no mans land.. anyway, i said to him, if you see owt else you like, make a note of it.. we'll go back and pick it up before we go home.. we didn't find any jeans and the only other clobber he found was a hoodie from KirshKicks but it was £285 for an unremarkable hoodie with some hype shit printed on the front.. he doesn't seem to have any concept of cost so i said you could buy 2x Stussy hoodies for that with cash to spare so he decided against it and we left with nothing.. enjoyed the day mooching around Manchester though

Had a similar situation, I booked a campsite for two nights I thought. My boy and I on our annual biketrip.

came back from a day out, there was a big ass tent squeezed  on “our” spot.

i was like I don’t care , but the big ass tent family were waving their booking.

so when they didn’t pay attention I checked my reservation. Turns out I made a wrong booking.

put the tail between my legs and moved our tent.

 

me and my boy swapped clothes , to try and confuse Mrs smooth sailor.

his oversized clothing fit me fine.

my clothes fit him better than on me.

next generation their turn

Someone on the Levis website isn't happy with the leg twist on their (3rd pair) of LVC 66 lol.

Someone should tell the poor fella

Reminds me of how I recently heard that Amazon does not like selling books with a deckled edge because of all the returns they get on em thinking it's a QC issue. It's a feature not a bug you people!

Imagine dropping a grand on repros and having no clue about leg twist lmao.

Reminds me of one negative review I read of a very fine, single malt Islay scotch that had ruined the drinker's 'scotch & soda' experience...

Soda does tend to do that.

I'm sure someone told him he's an idiot before. Sadly this doesn't seem to stop them from being stupider and even worse they just have to call attention to it.

Well, I wasn’t quite thinking that!

It’s reasonable for any non denim head to consider leg twist a flaw - it’s presumably one reason it’s eliminated in modern denim.

Perhaps it’s on LVC - selling vintage repros to a mass audience - to let them know such things like leg twist are considered a part of the charm for many.
