Measurements in inches BIG style after an initial hot soak:

 

Waist: 36

Front Rise: 11

Thigh: 13.5

Knee: 10.25

hem: 9

Inseam: 32

Does anyone know what the max shrinkage is on the No.1 denim? I don't think that I got all of the shrinkage out so I threw them in the washer and they are hang drying now.

So

I picked these up at Placebo in Sofia, which is a really nice little 2nd hand shop. I can't find any online details. The denim is really lovely and heavy, yet soft. The tag is missing a "made in _ " label, but the quality is outstanding (cinch and watchpocket stitching lines up perfectly with the waist, tonal single needle work throughout, selvedge waistband, chainstitch hems, the works) whoever had them before me removed the suspender buttons and sewed on some belt loops, but they really didn't match so I took them off. 

Best fit I've ever had.

Any ID help would really be appreciated!

^nice find! These are Evisu International (Heritage), made in Macau to top spec, based on Levi's XX oldest oldest (Paul T's write up here: http://www.trynka.net/archive/501_Oldest_Oldest.html). The embroidered coins in the back pocket were a nod to the gold rush, and will fade through to show on the back pocket eventually (if you don't wear a wallet!)

Thanks mate, I like the rain too so I'm generally happy no matter what weather we end up with here! 

Another nice day and some pics of my Evis Lot 2513 carpenter pants.

I think this is the first time I've seen a full-leg gull with some wear and...I...I like it a lot? Hm.

Yeah, I don't think they look as bad when worn as you might expect. I've got another pair with the big daicock on that I posted a few months ago but will get some fresh pics soon. 

Lot 2001 in No.1 denim below. Had them tapered on the selvage side as you can see, as I like the top block but the leg opening is too much for me at the moment. Can always get them put back to how they were before by doing it this way.
