if you compare size 34 for the '47 and S0500...I like the S0500 better

Any reason why? I loved the feel of the 47's denim, but I'm worried about another crotch blow out.

I want to proxy some Sams. Was it easy using the proxy service here?

I like he fit better ( I own both models in size 34) and the denim is more interesting on the S0500XX for me

How does the room in the crotch compare?

[Revsta]

Any similarities in the FH380? Those look great. Measurements are similar to the s0500.

Jeebus, Rvesta, by the time you get around to deciding and ordering those jeans, vintage repro's will have become true vintage...

I figured it out! Ordered today. Flathead 3005s. Figures right? Thanks for the suggestions everyone, I'll let you know how they work out.

Good choice Revsta, I have the F350s, which are the same cut with slightly different details.

Awesome. I'm excited. FH denim is baller. How much shrink did you get in the inseam? I'm a tall guy so I'm a bit worried about letting them soak too long.

I machine washed mine at 60C, I never bother with that soaking business! They shrank quite a lot - about 2.5 inches on the waist and inseam.

I think 2.5 inches in a hot wash might be a tad much for me at 6'4''. I'll prolly hot soak and hang something off them to keep them long. I'm a tall man.

Sutocorp is great, but most Sams can be ordered from 2nd's Rakuten store.

http://search.borderless.rakuten.com/borderless/search.action?sid=2nd&l=en

Use "search inside this store"

They don't speak great english, so speak simply and use google translate to provide Japanese beneath.

Or, you can browse their website: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://www.e2nd.net/&ei=AP-lTbr8K8rL0QHoqcmBCQ&sa=X&oi=translate&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCYQ7gEwAA&prev=/search%3Fq%3De2nd%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26hs%3DZeR%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26prmd%3Divns

They will take orders via email if you don't want to go through Rakuten. Again, you need to use Google Translate with them. Great customer service, but they don't do the English thing. If you order via email, they'll send you a Paypal invoice. Other than missing out on Rakuten points, I actually prefer this, because for some reason, when the Japanese stores do their own credit card transactions, it takes like 2 weeks to hit my account. It messes up all my budgeting and whatnot.

How to change threads title.

[num21lock]

how much shrinkage can i expect out of a sz 27 PBJ xx-007 raw, in the thigh, knee and leg opening, and will they stretch out easily? (fingers crossed that they dont... ..)

[chambo2008]

they should shrink 0.5 inchs

[num21lock]

i should include a machine wash @ 60degrees and into the dryer after... we're still talking about 0.5?

i ask this because the measurements for a sz 27 raw and sz 27 one wash on BiG shows a 0.75 difference.. it seemed quite a stretch...

[chambo2008]

i was going to add that if you wanted a lil more throw them in the dryer, but i never do this after two machine wash's air dried in between your good to go

[num21lock]

much appreciated chambo, thank you!

Are there any key hooks that aren't absurdly expensive? I like the practicality of a key hook but paying ~$50+ for what is basically a piece of hardware seems a little bit crazy to me.

Although I've no desire to use a key hook, they do seem overpriced. They also look remarkably similar to some curtain hooks I've seen, so perhaps there's your answer.

Any decent hardware/outdoors gear shop will sell you a good key hook for 5€ something...

[hhenryhhh]

I really, really hate to ask these kinds of questions but...

SE05BSP - How much will the thigh shrink? Can't be more than .5in right?

I'm coming from a size 27 pair of the old Texas cotton 5010 Skulls and I'm looking at the size 28 BSP...want something a tad easier on the thighs and upper block but with a smaller leg opening.

What do you think of these? I know Cheap Monday has trashy denim but they're on sale and in my size.

Got a rip in the sideseam of my PBJs. Don't ask me how I got it. I don't know. Its a decent size rip but it isn't anything serious, just the stitching has come apart. The edges are still intact. There's a really good tailor in my city that could do it but they're expensive and could take longer with my jeans than I care to give up. Do you guys think that a sideseam rip on selvedge is something that the average tailor can restitch, or should I take this one to the pros?
