I have the lvc one and it's not my favorite in terms of fabric and fit even with a size s is very generous, but it's fine when tucked under a waistcoat. Would only buy when heavily discounted though, it's not worth the full price. 

[Bobbo]

What, have the jeans already arrived in Britain since you're talking about customs fees? I thought they'd get shipped on monday?

many thanks for that: i like a generous volumed fit, but if fabric is not stellar... my finger is hovering over the checkout button with that as intuition: good to have clarification; sales scouring it is for that one...

no arrival [dhl are claiming nov7th, but as the wise cucoo noted that is phps pipe dreemz]: but dhl seem to have already calculated customs and asking for the clams...

[Cucoo]

Would be nice if DHL would just bill me beforehand too, damn

[volvo240thebest]

So yes the parcels were sent via DHL, its usually lightning fast, we may receive the jeans next Tuesday or Wednesday for real.

[FreeCharlesManson]

Received my shipping notification you're morning. It says it should arrive Monday night. Oddly specific but I've never had anything shipped DHL before

[nycsurfer530]

Mine are already in Los Angeles. I should have them by Monday end of day. 

[Bobbo]

^ Damn, I don't even have my tracking number yet. Post lots of pics!

[Cucoo]

Mine have just been released by customs although they're still en route to Germany - cautiously optimistic that they will really arrive tomorrow Unless customs interferes DHL Express really is lightning fast. 

[MileHighEvertonian]

Mine passed through customs, too. Getting closer!

[bartlebyyphonics]

in heathrow this eve...

greased lightning!

[nycsurfer530]

Before we all get our jeans I think is appropriate to post this photo as appreciation to @volvo240thebest for all the organization and communication for this contest. Not sure what year or model but damn this Volvo I found was beautiful. 

[MileHighEvertonian]

Appreciation for @volvo240thebest seconded!

Also, I don't know about you, but I spy two Volvos in that picture.  

 

[nycsurfer530]

cheers lads!

@nycsurfer530 that's a very dandy Volvo P1800 from the 60's, same car pictured on the car model cover posted by PaoloT...
that's quite a car spotting! Really beautiful in red. @Foxy2 's wife own the same car, but in British Racing Green color.

Meanwhile I've just received a text by DHL, saying that my parcel will be delivered TODAY! let's see if I can manage to be the first to receive the contest jeans!

@edmond I'd say you (or better @jsn and Kevin, don't take up someone's else merits!) surprised us all with the shipping, fair play to DHL for this hahaha!!!!

Wooohooooooo

Primo!

 

[volvo240thebest]

pic completely out of focus but fuck it!

first thoughts, the jeans have a very nice high backrise compared to a mid front rise, I really dig this detail because to me it's what makes a pair of jeans really comfy. Buttons are great,  only top button and suspender buttons are branded the other are beautiful, shiny small iron buttons. It's supposed to rain for a few days but I'll try to soak, wash and dry over my wood stove, cowboy style, tonight. The level of excitement is high!

Wooohooo! Congrats, Volvo! I haven't received a shipping notification yet, but great to know that it's so close to happening. 

[volvo240thebest]

I didn't receive any email (because I've mistyped my email in the xcel file sent to Regiment Store) but my phone no. was in the order so I got the sms text this morning.
The jeans are class, and the presoak fit is perfect. I only doubt they'll really shrink to the desired inseam length unless I decide to nuke them higher than 60s degrees which I won't do. Let's see how it works...I've planned a single cuff for these, should not work I'll just wear them with a folded cuff...

 

[Cucoo]

Fitting that you'd be the first to receive them  Mine are out for delivery as we speak, but I'm stuck in the office for a few more hours anyways...

[jigsaw]

Received mine too, pic soon! Thx Regiment

[edmond]

Hey fat italian molester pls post photos!!!

 

im osaka now and im fat after more than a week 

 

 

[volvo240thebest]

I'm supposed to be working at the moment haha give me a couple hours!

[Cucoo]

Did we come up with a hastag for Instagram posts already?

#tcb20scontest would be the obvious choice I guess.

[jigsaw]

Just try them on and the length is perfect, will soak them tommorow and relax till the start date
