question about hemming:
if Hemming on the Union Special ordered when you buy new jeans it's done to exact specifications what you chose in drop menu on order page? or shrinking process considered and couple inches added? i.e. ordered 32 hemmed to 35 inseam. i just realised that i should ask Giles before ordering, i'm such an idiot

Specific jeans you've bought? Most of the jeans on the site are sanfornized (will not shrink drastically when soaked)

[ricochet]

666s . i guess i'm in line for darwin award. delivery is tomorrow i will not sleep tonight

[J-IV]

Don't fret. You can do a really cold soak to lessen the shrinkage on the jeans while removing the shrinkage on the jeans.

[ricochet]

fingers crossed…

[Giles]

Oh oh.  Hemmed to 32.5.  We hem to the length in the drop down…..

[ricochet]

Yeah make sense, totally my fault.  Saw stock reduced from 10 pairs to 4 in one day and pull the trigger without thinking.
Just receied new 666s i’m at work and can’t try them on. No stacks for me this time, but length looks ok’ ish.
Many thanks Giles/Paula super fast delivery as usual.

Don't worry, stacks suck

Tried ordering a heavy poloshirt from Filson's…

Shipping International: $130.00

Well… That seems a bit excessive innit... Sunspel of England it is!.. 

Edit: what's the question?.. Good question!..

[Chris]

That does seem excessive.

[Seul]

And it's imported… Filson: you are the weakest link, goodbye!..

Does anyone know whether Sunspel still exclusively makes their gear in England?.. I'm pretty sure they don't (Portugal and Turkey made stuff), but wanna know for sure before I place an order...

[Blackheart]

Filson is hit and miss, gear/bags are decent, clothes are iffy…

[Seul]

Cheers piggy. Yeah I kinda just wanted to try the brand, figured I'd go for a "heavy" polo and see what that added up to…

IH should do some kind of crazy polo... Chambray polo?.. Three MOP snap buttons?.. Ribbed elastic hems?..

[Blackheart]

I have one of Filson's Alaskan Guide shirts, flannel is a good weight but after the first wash the button
thread started to unravel…on all the buttons! Tag says it was made in Morocco, not sure about the polos
but I doubt they're made in Seattle.
Yeah, an IH polo would be nice...

If you want a Filson polo Seul I can help you out, PM me, screw that shipping charge!

How disgusted would you guys be if I bought some N&F to work in?

(I need jeans to beat the shit out of, like, yesterday and this is the only brand made readily available around here.)

[Megatron1505]

Not at all, I wear Uniqlo Raws for dirty manual labour (gardening etc…). I love my Iron Hearts, and my Samurais, and they're expensive, evo is one thing, purposely ruining them is quite another.

[Finn666]

cop what you like and what you´re feeling comfortable in mate…simple is that!
and if you don´t want to wear pricy jeans to work in...cop some cheaper ones and problem solved

[Chris]

Yeah, let me add to the consensus.  If I were in your situation, I'd buy cheaper jeans with no hesitation (not N&F, though- they don't fit me at all).  Like Mega said, evo is one thing, intentionally destroying expensive jeans is something else entirely.
