am i missing something here?

^^^^

send them a pm or an email & they will get back to you (in a few days) & either correct the issue or explain the error on the web page.  it's worth it as it worked for me when i had issue with them.  big ups to lenn & daniel.  especially lenn as he responded to me every time to let me know what was going on.

21oz:  breathes much better, less contrasty and slower fade, softer less slubby denim

[hectic]

• sizing down is very viable. 21oz has quite a lot of stretch potential.

[Seul]

Be sure to check the sizing chart as the standard 21 oz. Busters run small(er).

[Giles]

I wear 33 in 634, 666 and Busters.  And in my experience, the 18oz is pretty stretchy too.  My tag size 33 666 now measure 34.  G

I have the 18oz raw Busters, and I absolutely love the character of the denim. Very slubby and uneven, nice contrast fading, but not too fast, breathable, comfortable and tough.

Can't comment on the 21oz (yet), will need another week before my 634's arrive

Thanks, gents.

No tips on that I'm afraid, it's not something that many of us have much of a talent for

HURRY UP AND GET TO THE BLOODY POINT!..

Working on my mystery braid-technique, and so far I've made a few bracelets etc, suddenly i thought "hmm, what about making a wallet rein (lanyard? reign… what?) of it", but... too much?

[Seul]

See, this is why I initially refused to send to Europe. Just got back from the UPS store and those fuckers said it would be $150 to send UPS w/ tracking. So I said fck that, what's the cheapest? And they said $64 via USPS Priority Mail w/ no tracking. So I did that. Never sending to Europe again, this is bulls**t. I asked them why so high and they said they only mark it up 10% from what going to the post office would charge. Fck it.

It was the short sleeve 16 (heavy chambray) shirt. I weighed my shirt and a padded envelope, went to the USPS online calculator, and got a figure of 14.95 $. Which seemed entirely correct for FIRST CLASS INT'L MAIL. I told the seller to ship through this service and only this service.

Now the people at the UPS store just BLATANTLY ripped him off, cause even Priority Airmail would only be about 30-35 $… And the package was well within the weight limit and dimensionsal restrictions of First Class.

Is there anything he can do?.. I pressured him into shipping to €urope as he initially didn't want, so now I feel pretty bad about this... 

Oh, and as a bonus: I will now pay a nice custom fee as well. Not that I should be the one complaining, but seriously this is just enfuriating.

2ndhand deal Giles. Plus my size was sold out from your store.

[Giles]

I know….....

[Seul]

Just wondering whether anyone (rocket?) can help, otherwise I'll just pay the seller an extra 50 $ I guess.

I'll be doing that transaction whilst looking like this: 

[Megatron1505]

Do you have the package? Personally, I would photograph it, including the USPS label which will show you the service used, and the cost, weight it (photograph of you weighing it), and send a strongly worded email to USPS customer services.

Might do nothing, but would make you feel better.

[jacoavlu]

If the package is out already I doubt there's anything you can do

The UPS store may not be able to ship packages by any class less than priority, I don't know. I've shipped plenty to Europe, almost all priority, usually about $30-35. I use the post office. If the item can fit in a flat rate envelope (a SS shirt prob could) then about $15…
