Matt, great intro to the forum and an excellent choice in denim.  welcome!

@Matt:

I would imagine Giles cringes every time someone orders a hem on these, I wouldn't want to run them through a rare vintage sewing machine for fear of personal injury and mechanical catastrophe.

@Giles:

Let's get these 25oz jeans hemmed…...

@Matt:

Yeah, considering we just brought a new baby home today and she's only had 2 hrs of sleep since Monday, I'd say she's fair and reasonable.  I got here about 10 minutes before the delivery guy.

and congrats btw

I was trying to paste a picture of Pinhead from Hellraiser into a post but I'm computer stupid and couldn't negotiate it.  Anyone…

Congrats on the new addition to the family and the new addition to the wardrobe. I know how you feel about cruel wives, mine opened up the leather pouch just long enough to show me the IH bracelet that will be my Christmas present! The wait is always the hardest part…

[Matt]

Thanks!  Women… can't live with them, can't afford to buy them jeans as nice as yours.

[Matt]

You know, there is a little difference though.  Leather bracelet, all season gear.  25 oz steel reinforced rhino hide bulletproof denim, not so much.  I'm missing prime heavy denim weather!!!  We may have to renegotiate the terms of my allowance.

Matt's now my favourite poster. Ha, I actually felt your anxiety whilst reading your sorrow-filled story. Congratulations on the baby. These are truly joyous times for you. Cherish them deeply.

Ok, she let me try them on.  When I started measuring them and trying to make them stand up she said that classified as "playing with them" and put a stop to it.

keep her, she seems cool…

this :D…

Day 3 of being a father… day 2 of being an XHS owner.  What I've learned so far about both:

1. Babies mostly resemble muppets and make noises like squirrels.

2.  25 oz denim actually calls you from its hiding place in the closet, beckonning you to release it from its unjustly sentenced 2 month prison term.

Ok, that 2nd one may have been a hallucination, I haven't slept much.  I may try them on when the wife is asleep today and see if I can get some pictures.

congrats on both mate

You're gonna drug her, innit?..

[Omega Man]

Matt, congrats. 
You are one brave soul. 
Never crosses the lady wife  when 1) she just gave birth to your child 2) she is sleep deprived and 3) her b–bs are sore from feeding the little one.  Your life is about to turn upside down...and your perspective about things in life will change for the better.  Now walk gingerly to the closest and put on that 25oz.!

[Giles]

You better think of a good excuse as to why all your finger nails are broken first though….....

[Seul]

Owed me 2 $…

[Giles]

I thought the USD2 debt was broken knuckles…...

[Seul]

Not with this conversion rate!..

Hello Matt, it's nice to have you with us!
Speaking of your jeans, if you want to be more oblique and subtle, you may build a false package, identical to the other, and then put it in the closet instead of the true one. Then, you may arrange your 666-XHS in your garage, and change your dress every time you leave the house (as I do with my Aero Jacket). The only problem is when it will arrive on Christmas Day… But we have 2 full months to think about something...

odd the SE measurements do not line up with the Iron Heart measurements (yes, I know they measure the thigh and knee at different locations).  I guess they got a different batch with slight variance.
