nice as always jaco . . . & you want them shorter why?

actually was staring at the fit & i can understand

[jacoavlu]

yeah I had planned to wear without a cuff but I can't do the big stacks especially early when the denim so rigid and crazy looking. I played it safe with hem length cause theyre supposed to shorten a little with a wash, if I could do over I'd chop another inch or so but I'm too impatient to send them back again.

edit: and thanks all for kinds words on the fit

[jacoavlu]

so my mini review

the denim is very dark but not black. its an even deep deep blue. barely any weft peeking through, the weft seems same as most other ih denims I think, double strand, beige color. denim is tight and smooth, very beefy feeling. the inner face is very soft, a friend described it well said it almost feels brushed.

the cut reminds me a bit of the 301s up top, seems natural to wear them a bit low on the hips, but of course with a slimmish straight fit through the legs and not the aggressive taper of the 301. really like the cut.

the back pockets are noticeably longer than any other IH jean I have. this plus the mini sag puts the wallet quite low, thats gonna take some getting used to, leads to a bit of a funny fit in the seat that I hope relaxes a bit with wear. but i dont think the denim is gonna stretch too much, just my guess.

they are going to fade. seeing little corners of indigo loss after a day. gonna do my best to wear these for a while.

The last on this boot fits 1/2 size smaller. You will be fine.

I have to say Finn, I think these will scuff and "feck up" as you say, very easily. Keeping these like new would be a very difficult task in my opinion.

I inquired by email, so they just replied to my old email with the delivery confirmation number. Took a week from Hawaii.
