@Giles:

Returning them would be a problem.  As they are not a jean that we will sell other than pre-orders, we have no real way of selling them.

…but he can sell it here!;)

Yo Andi, you already made up your mind on what pair to destroy?…

Next person to register for the contest makes us 100 competitors, and wins a prize (which you will have to wait until March to receive).

[bagley920]

Can I register again?

[Megatron1505]

Sure you can  But the prize has gone 

[bagley920]

Hey Gav, is Mini in on this?

[Megatron1505]

Nah, Mini works in an office so she gets about 3 hours worth of wear a week on her 555's.

[Megatron1505]

105 Heavy Champs now registered. Yeeeeh ha !!!!

[Megatron1505]

UPS has just delivered something very, very special 

[bagley920]

I think we need a hint

[RP]

I'm guessing a prototype MBB with a significant waist measurement.

[Megatron1505]

You mean a "real mans" waist measurement surely 

[Giles]

Real mans waist to go with real mans cod piece…..

[Megatron1505]

Big nail needs a big hammer 

[Megatron1505]

[elclintor]

Perfect fit Gav!

[bagley920]

36 or 38 Gav?

[Giles]

38 and Tom and Haraki did a brilliant job.  The measurements are to all intents and purposes EXACTLY the same as the measurements for a size 38 IHXB01 (which is what I asked for).

[Megatron1505]

These are a one washed 38, currently measuring a shade over 37" in the waist (and I literally do mean a hair width), I could probably have done a true 36 waist, but as they would have been 35" one washed…..not a chance. They badly need hemming (currently triple cuffed), but I think that once they settle they will be perfect.

This is my first try of the 25oz denim, and I am really surprised by how soft it is, compared to the 23oz these were comfortable straight away. Although, Seul was right about being a bitch to button up 

Also, please be aware that the production version of the MBB will have black arcs and W.

Look great, but I was hoping the waist matched the tag size as I can't size up in these without the legs being ridiculously baggy. In absence of a car jack, I'm going to put mine in the tub, put my right foot inside the waistband and pull for all I'm worth.

Hoping Doug can recommend some exercises for me in preparation.
