A hem will fix the fit.

Soaked Nov. 9. Just now getting around to posting.

[wiretapscars]

Late check-in...it's been an unusually busy past few days.

# 206 Sz36..post hot soak/hot dry...i'll try to post some more pics later.

[theetruscan]

I meant waist/weight size. Compared to many people on SuFu, my waist size and body is pretty big.

As long as you're not obese, it tends to matter less than people think.

[inthemix_]

how much overstock do they have at big?

anyways.. if anybody has a size32, you know what to do!

edit: I meant 32

[soonami]

last I checked, they are sold out in all sizes, although they have the duckdigger 660s, as mentioned earlier in this thread that is the same cut and fabric, but more expensive and without the SUFU patch

[bye4now12]

there's a pair of contest jeans in size 33, I'm pretty sure it was on this board but it might have been on styleforum.net

Lemme try and find it.

Pre soak fit - size 30 - measures pretty much like BIG states - hoping for 2 inches shrinkage

[jubei]

woah, I hope you're not going to be throwing that brick around after you soak...

[beatle]

Yeah..if soak does'nt work out - that brick helps getting rid of all my agressions...

^ oh he's back.

[ron]

Hi Ron, did you cut them? I cant imagine that they will shrink that much?

I had them hemmed at BIG and they shrank that much after hot soaking.

Thanks, sensei...I hope all is well..did you post pics of your pair yet ? I'm getting old - don't remember if you're in on this or not ...

[Chicken]

i'm in there somewhere mein deutsch mädchen.

but wow, it's already been a month today and i'm due to take updated pics. but our new apartment's still a little messy with opened and unopened boxes and it's a bit difficult for photo sessions right now.

[Charlie Delta]

^You just moved from NYC to LA am I right?

sorry if this is too personal, pm if wanted, and I can deleted this...

Ooh, and I'm not in the first post list, but then again I'm not wearing them either.

If I'm not in the list would I not be able to compete if I change my mind all of the sudden?

[cheep]

ok... been real busy... anyone not on the front page list pm me and ill update it over the next few days.

[beatle]

pm'd...

Here's a quick update..

Post soak

And - weird detail on the back pocket that holds the wallet...

They were soaked for 5 hours + machine washed ...could have probably gotten a 29 - but quite happy with the fit....

[dave023]

Beatle- they look great!

[kenthenoob]

anyone else's jeans kinda baggy in the ass?

[Panda-san]

^ Mine are, but I went true to size (all that BiG had left). Weird, antifit ass with skinny legs. Still, probably my favorite fitting pair of jeans.

[jubei]

anyone else's jeans kinda baggy in the ass?

they're supposed to be a lower rise repro model, so I think they're cut to preserve the anti-fit... was trying to explain this to my gf last night, who was confused by the fit in the seat.

I would describe them as "nostalgic" rather than straight up repros

[kenthenoob]

ah, i see

it makes me look like i have extra room for taking a crap...i do notice the huge gap between my jeans and my ass when i sit with the pulled up though.

[MirrorLockUp]

Anti-fit is God's way of telling you to eat more carbs.

[pragmatics]

Just got #38 today, my first pair of raw denim. I may soak again just to make sure all the shrinkage is out, though they fit decently already. As soon as I find my camera I'll post some pics. Will putting oil on the buttons help cut down on rusting during soaking or is it really not worth the hassle?

[Chicken]

^ quick answer: no.

longer answer: the buttons are designed to rust.

if you don't like that you might be missing the point.

[Guest zezak]

I regret not joining this contest. Damn it.

[ChattyPuma]

Map has been updated for the few that sent me stuff recently.

Also, here's the best I can do for another fit shot. I'm travelling with 7 family members in an RV across the US to see the Grandpa for Thanksgiving.

[edmond]

whats hoes are those chattypuma?? nice
