[rome1]

just pulled my size 32 out of the dryer for a last 15 min quick heat dry, after they had been air drying for about 5 hrs. They are def dead on with BiG 's measurements a little big for me in the waist but the thigh is dead on. So Im gonna suck it up and belt it.

[wild style]

Thunder thighs.

Let the games begin...

other than the length, the fit is perfect for me.. i might go and get these hemmed.

and for reference, they fit similarly to my size 30 pbj 005s.

[Contingency Plan]

Mine just arrived in the UK Immediately, I'm struck by how blue these are; much more so than the dark black colour of my SFx5EPs. Definitely going to need a soak; details pics and measurements to follow.

BiG knows how to package their stuff:

oh lawd, i'm really pissed off at myself that i slept on these.

i thought these were going to be mediocre, but everything looks so much nicer now that it's started.

[Skeese]

^^ true that, if anyone wants to sell their W30.. hit me up.

[billiamphan]

My size 29's are too big, anyone with a size 27 or 28 that needs a 29 hit me up. However I doubt anyone will be going up sizes

However I doubt anyone will be going up sizes

and therein lies the problem.

Hey guys. I finnally got them. I tried it on, seemed ok fit.abit snuggly. VERY LONG though. very nice denim btw. hmm I'm not gonna have time to do anything until my exams are over (nov9th) I wonder if I was allowed a late start or do I have to start from the day I get it?

[cheep]

contest starts on november 5th. you can start early and end early, but no starts later than the 5th.

[kapay]

Whoa... I still haven't heard a peep as to when I'm getting mine.

[cheep]

i talked to gordon yesterday... the rest are on the way to the shop, and everything will be shipped out and received before the 5th.

[Begåvningsreserven]

checking in

[jiomitori]

I haven't received them yet, but based on what I've seen here, I might need to trade my 28's for 29's. Stay tuned.

Just thought I'd give an update to my sizing saga.

Here's the synopsis of my sz31:

Raw waist was atleast 35, if not larger. My girlfriend told me that they looked big enough for the fat guy at work to wear and I didn't necessarily disagree with her (I've seen this guy...his obesity factor is off the charts). Washed hot and dried on high for 35 minutes. Jeans were slightly damp when dryer was finished (the fly and pockets weren't totally dry). Waist measured 33.5 which was still way too big.

Soaked in very hot water (as hot as my tub would go) for 4 hours last night, changing water frequently to make sure it was hot. They were dry as of this morning and the waist measured 32 inches (16 inches across). I can certainly work with the waist now (have to wear a belt) but the fit is pretty good in the legs. The left leg has twisted quite well too. I'll post pics later tonight.

Total waist shrinkage: 3 inches (if not more)

Not everyone is a local delivery. Mine will be going out this week, but USPS to Thailand often takes several weeks. AND, if it gets hung up in customs, yet another week or two.

I'm not complaining. I'm in this for the fun of it. I just think you could chill a bit on the mandatory language. Didn't Beatle say she wanted to wait until New Year's?

Whatever.

[cheep]

beatle is one person.

if yours dont make it to you by then, let me know.

[LeicaLad]

Sure. Whatever. As noted, I'm doing this for the fun of it.

[Chicken]

god morgon begåvningsreserven!

[Begåvningsreserven]

Ohayou!...

[Guest Arcarsenal]

I haven't received them yet, but based on what I've seen here, I might need to trade my 28's for 29's. Stay tuned.

Hey, let's keep in touch, I might need to trade my 29's for 28's.

edit: did you requesting any hemming? I only ask because in the event we do trade I requested a 34 inch inseam, don't want that to be a problem.

[fre-co]

Following on from LeicaLad:

I wouldn't guarantee them here in London by the 5th either. USPS can take up to 2 weeks to reach here (I chose the cheaper shipping option) and as far as I know Gordon hasn't shipped mine out yet.

It doesn't really bother me to lose a week or two on the contest but just to let you know there is a world beyond your shores.

yes, that's the spirit.

the community is alive!

[Chipper]

I hope I get mine in soon (29") to test the fit. The way its looking I may have to trade for a 28" ... Holla at me if you guys need to trade.

[cheep]

ok... regarding the start date of the 5th... according to gordon they should all be to you by the 5th, but if they come late then we will work with it. what we dont want is people holding on to them for a long time and not wearing them and dragging the contest out.

I requested a 33" inseam; not sure if that would work for you. Anyway, I'll keep in touch if I need to trade.

I feel you CUZ!

Thats all good, and fair enough Cheep. I guess if you have a deadline for pictures as mid Nov. 2008, (allowing a couple of weeks for photographing) then people who start late will just have to live with less than 1 year wear. It's up to them in the end when they start.
