[Medine]

[mpcec]

those looks so dope, cant wait to get them... holy shit

e: are the custom arcs on it or did that get bailed on?

[callejeros]

OMG... amazing

Can we have measures using BIG method?

Recently i´ve gained some weight and I´m worried if I´m going to be able to fit into them!

Hot soak those bad boys and a quick measure would be great, to double check if I can still squeeze in too. Awesome of you to coordinate this Medine!!

[xchen]

Medine, they look intense. You have 1 month and I AM COUNTING!!!!

[Medine]

[mpcec]

So excited... never really done one of these before. Do we pay the cost of shipping to us or do we pay the cost of shipping to the next person?

[xchen]

I think to the next person.

[Medine]

I think to the next person.

Waist: 33

Upper Thigh: 12

I need them to strech like an inch or an inch and a half to get in!

[callejeros]

How is the soaking / washing issue going to be managed?

[thaiison]

god, those are beautiful. good luck with the tour guys!

[Medine]

They will def stretch out an inch, they were almost an inch bigger before i soaked them..

i think that people should just wash them when they get too dirty to handle.. im not that big of a fan of not washing jeans so just wash whenever you feel it's right,.

DAY TIME UPDATE:

It's a lazy day in the Chicago Suburbs..

I took a stroll to the corner grocery store..

Which is across the street from our lovely, gang infested park..

My brother & I got some Mexican Cokes (why are the bottles completely different? I dont get it)

Went back to my house to sit on my porch..

Lazy Wednesday..

[Medine]

Just wanted to put up some more pictures of the selvedge (I love the Red, White & Blue)..

Hidden Selvedge Coin Pocket^

[shark jacobs]

dude, what's the deal with mexican coke, is the coke itself different or just the bottle?

[cash]

^ Sugar instead of corn syrup. Sharper flavor. cleaner aftertaste.

[JacoBlue]

man i would like some mexican coke... sounds delicious.

those strongholds are really something else! it´s like to travel back in time putting on those with suspenders and all! so cool...

[Medine]

UPDATE:

I decided to do something with my life, so I went frisbee golfing (frolfing)..

Me after a killer throw..

My buddy's about to murder that disc..

After working off some calories frolfing, I decided to put them right back on..

Went to a local Italian joint..

I got some veal thing..

And of course, I got the tirimisu too..

[Opie]

Looking great on the throwing pic!

Thought they would be much looser, but they actually look slimming there.
