my vote is boots. sneakers get swallowed up.

edit: they look good otherwise though. I could never pull them off, but I've always enjoyed the color of those...

[SLAB]

good fit vinneus; how did you size?

[Vinneus]

....40. tried on a 42 at my friends and i was a bit big. ya dig!

[Stacks]

When Mr. Freedom states that the fabric on the Californians is "guaranteed to age and beautify with repeated wear" what kinda weight does that hold? Can I return them after a year if the denim fading turns out flat? Hmmmm.

0 ounces, I'd estimate

[riff]

That's a nice fit Vinneus! Good stuff!

ThisSunday - I'd go with boots as well, though I think they'd look good with white chucks/sailor shirt combo...

Where else online can I purchase the Californians besides Self Edge? They're out of my size and I haven't been able to locate them at any other webstores through my searching.

[beeetus]

Just saw your PM riff. Thanks man.

[LandoCal126]

Quoted because I almost pissed myself when I saw/ read it! Cheers you little bitch! Hahahhahaha must spread...

We almost certainly have your size here at Self Edge LA, and we can take payment via paypal, or via credit card over the phone. PM me if you'd like to order a pair.

[beeetus]

What's your stock like? I might actually be in LA for business in a few weeks. I'm looking for a 34.

gave my californians their first soak (30 min warm soak) and now they've dried. inseam only shrank 1.5 inches, waist and thigh shrank a little, but hem and rise basically didnt shrink. something tells me it still has some shrink left, or does this denim just not shrink that much?

It definitely does. The inseam is supposed to shrink 3 inches. You gotta give em a really hot soak though. Agitation also helps with it.

nice fit Vin, im 5'10" 185lbs as well! hahah you sized right!

I'm 6'1" and 177lbs, guess I also made a good choice when going with the size 32 then

[vinz]

Hey Vinneus, it's pretty crazy that we are the same height and height.

Fallen Angels: I agree with Ammit they do shrink about 3 inches with a really hot soak.

[therelativity]

Andrew and Vinneus, Thank you for the suggestion!

I wore them raw today and found them quite roomy. So I soaked them after I got home:

raw fit:

oh yes, 3 inches for sure. i got hemmeed to a 34 raw and at a clean 31 after the soak.

mine didn't shrink that much, though I only soaked once at 50°C and put them in the machine without soap once at 40°C...

maybe in time, when they'll need a wash they'll shrink some more, we'll see.

[maknoget]

therelativity, Calis are looking dope! pmd you.

GOOD DAY ALL!!!

I made a video the other day, getting ready for the cold wet winter we will probably have here in Ohio. Click here to watch or here.

must spread more rep, but thanks for the video-- the time lapse is super cool

[attackwithstones]

I love the deer in the back ground, that was definitely the sweetest part.

How long did it take you to wax the whole thing? How many coats do you apply to the jacket?

[pgfpo]

Awesome video. Great song choice as well. That's one of my favorite film scores.

[Ammit]

Awesome video. What film score is the music from.

[riff]

Awesome video. Great song choice as well. That's one of my favorite film scores.

Seconded! Thanks for sharing! How is the texture when you finished? Identical to the Filson or Barbour waxed jackets?

[eltopo]

Thanks Guys! The song is summer of 78 by Yann Tiersen. The texture of the jacket is less rubbery than the Barbours since I think the jungle cloth absorbs the wax differently. I apply 2 coatings to start with, one to get absorbed into the cotton and another one on top of that. The jacket is slightly darker and with wear the wax starts to look great.

[ThisSunday]

Great video eltopo. I have to wax my Barbour but I've been procrastinating. Looking forward to seeing more of that waxed deck coat once it gets colder

.

[beeetus]

Awesome video eltopo. Must spread. Can you use that wax on any cotton jacket? I've got a cotton bomber I might like to try this on.

ha, awesome deer in the background @ 1:25

[SLAB]

awesome video and love the deers running around in your garden

[Vinneus]

Eltopo how'd they taste?
