[Nerkg]

I'm concerned about his liver.

@Simon:

Just read through last nights events - brilliant, in my head i see a Top Gear like mission, racing through the night in the C63 to pick up some jeans from a motorway service station with the clock ticking, ace!

These MBB's are fully in the legendary status category before anyone's even put a leg in them! In fact Giles should change the status of these on the web site from "Endangered" to "Legendary"!

Fully agree with Simon.
Big respect to families padmore and tron.
Have fun everyone at the event.

Psyched about this afternoon and evening

Just about to have lunch up the road in Winchester (in-laws), so should be there around 3pm.

[Graeme]

Finn, that's my TWSH-06 or 07. It's a bit trimmer than the 77.

[Finn666]

still looking nice

[Finn666]

did Paula got my mail sir?…

[Giles]

Have no idea…..Seriously, she is under so much pressure, the last thing we are doing is talking to each other about who has sent us mails....Tomorrow thru Mon, we will be able to move at our own pace....

[SimonQ.]

man, what do you guys chose for hemming? iam super satisfied with 35inches on the chinos (IH-816) but the standard 36inches on the BBOD are too long. Any suggestions? Something which comes up at 35-35.5inches after washing and settling?

[zwer]

Patch looks wicked awesome.

I measured two pairs that have a length I'm happy width and sent that to Paula, making allowances for a bit of shrinking and settling.

When in doubt, measure!

[Finn666]

@Giles:

Have no idea…..

well then there are already two of us

I'd go with 35.5" inseam if you would like to end up at ~35"…

[taksaha]

I measured two pairs as well and decided I want the megabusters slightly shorter than my 634s, so I went for 35". That's the same as the inseam on my 634s' - so after just a little shrinkage they should end up about half an inch shorter.

[Finn666]

^remember that also the combs and everything will need a bit of denim, so there could be even more than 0.5" that you might need!

[Megatron1505]

[Highvoltage]

I responded to Paula's second email, verifying that I'd be willing to swap my size 31 for a 32 if it's helpful. Also to inquire if the 37.5 inseam is chainstitched at that length from IH, or if that is an unfinished hem. Basically I'd like my pair with a chainstitched hem, with the longest possible inseam.

Wish I could raise a beer with you guys! Well it's noon here, so I suppose I can, cheers-

[Finn666]

^IH always chainstitch there denim…so yeah, the 37.5" inseam comes with a chainstitched hem!
