if you are feeling generous mike, i would be very interested to see a fic pic of those. i like you have had two pairs before both too big and am now considering trying one last time by sizing down as suggested.

by the way in case anyone is interested in general fit pics of lee and lvc this swedish shop has a few good ones: http://shop.textalk.se/en/artgrp.php?id=7325&grp=168726

Yamato s001j : 5000 silhouette : i know these are not for every1__ exposed selvedge on coin pocket. i don't really care cuz the denim on these are superb and uniquely non-slubby [for a Samurai]. the silverware is also exquisite. arcs were ripped__ plan to paint a black acrylic "Lazy S" later. ***fit pix taken with flash.

edwin leepros are available throughout the year at a bunch of different stores including amerikaya. shouldn't be too tough to locate.

however, if you're looking for mccoy's or warehouse lees, they're only released about once a year, so i would call ahead to make sure they carry what i'm looking for in my size.

the place i got my mccoy's 101z is a place called three eight:

thanks!

i think i'll stick with edwins, as i won't have mccoy sort of $$$ to drop (unless i come into money or get a big raise)

i won't be going until may, anyway, but for some reason was thinking about leepros.
