Good walk with the pups this afternoon, now waiting for burgers from my favorite local

Agreeing with bF, Simo said to me while he hopes everyone really likes the jeans, he's also very interested in any constructive feedback to make his product even better.

This is good to know, I didn't want to shit on Simo!

I love my 311. The only thing that comes to mind for me on initial thought, with a size 38 in mind:

• The pocket bags feel a tiny too shallow (fits iPhone 14 Pro just); an extra inch in length would probably be perfect
• Front pocket openings are a little small, at least for my hands. It's probably partly a syndrome of "new denim" stiffness—but they are only ~13oz—and my hand size; however, I don't think I have overly humungous hands. 

Everything else feels solid. Love the denim!

Just groceries and the dentist today, but it's damn cold out. Oh, and the chainstitch settings are wild. The hems are taught and twisted after a single wash unlike anything I've ever experienced.

Finally! I still carry 3-4 kg more with me than I'd like.

I was very pleased to note this on my pair straight out of the wash last night!!!

[Alec Leamas]

Here’s the fit, so far is feeling great, and will only get better I’m sure!

 

 

EDIT: Now I've confirmed they fit me after the wash - all my other pairs are vac packed and stashed away for the duration!

Let's see how this goes. I do feel like they will show some real character quite quickly.

A few thoughts from Simone on the point that @Jared_Lee raised for your consideration... these may (or may not) help with it!!

i think that some of the fit problem Jared was addressing can be also caused by pulling the waist to much higher, if you let’em sit naturally i’m pretty confident that the extra fabric in the yoke/pocket butt area will release'

I was too giddy to do this before putting them on earlier so have steamed the nuts out of them now to flatten it.

Can’t be forgoing any tracks down the side of these beauties!!!

A rare snow storm in Houston. 

[Broark]

Joining in on the Texas snow, we didn't get it nearly as bad as Houston.
Thinking I might actually end up wearing these uncuffed.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Finally @Broark needs all his jackets! 

[Broark]

@beautiful_FrEaK you know I'm cycling through every single one them in this two month span of cold weather.

So who's still waiting for their jeans? Are we almost a full compliment of wom-clad contestants??

... and to fill the void I'm pretty sure that's why squats, Bulgarian split squats and deadlift were invented

Another Texan snow post. Took the girls out for some exploration!

^ all of this hurts because it’s like 0 degrees in Michigan yet y’all have more of the good stuff. 

[Maynard Friedman]

It’s due to all that global cooling coming up through the Gulf of America!

I was going to say this same thing! I never hang around for the letter!

#208 Got mine today! Looks like I’ll be a week behind the rest of you, but I’ll have 17 3/4 months to catch up. Love the denim, great details, and the presoak fit looks pretty spot on.  I’ll post more once I get them soaked and dried.
