      ^ 75oz triple cuff was just a bit too much in my book mate, sry 🙂
      getting my MBB's hemmed to the perfect length and also I'm letting Mike (thedenimdoctor - uk) taper them a bit from knee down. not really into flattery denim in the knee-down-area tbh.!

                ^ will do…the hem measures 24cm now and i´ve asked for a 21.5cm hem afterwards...so we´re talking about a one inch taper from knee down! from 9.45" to 8.45" ...

                  Good call 9.75 is way to big, that's like a bell bottom. Even 9 is to big for me

                    ^yeah that´s what i thought as well…8.4" should just perfect to wear with sneakers and boots. any bigger and the sneakers would look lost and any smaller and the boots would look too huge.

                                  Yes, Finn. I m also talking about 1 inch taper, from 9" to 8" for me. Will ur MBB  start taper from knee only or higher?

                                            Self Edge, if you can drop them off in person in LA, NYC or SF (or find a proxy to do it for you).  Blue In Green will take mail in work, as will Blue Owl Workshop.  I've used both BiG and BOW and can vouch for their quality.  Self Edge is completely trustworthy and awesome as well.
