Random Rants

I'm after the 666XhS first run. The measurements on the current run are not the same. The Beatle buster is the opposite of what I want, they have a smaller waist and at least a 9.3in+ leg opening and that's at a 36inseam. By the time you hem them for my short ass you have 9.5-9.7in leg opening, which is enormous. I just don't think IH makes a cut anymore that can fit me how I want. If they made cuts in shorter inseams, like in Japan, they would fit me fine because the cut would be true but not on these 36in+ inseams. Any sort of taper there is gets lost once you hem them to 32ish or shorter.
Tons of other brands fit like fucking gloves, I just don't get it.
Btw, I tried on the original 666xhs run when they came out and they fit like a glove, just didn't have the cash. Also, tried on Zwer's pair, fit like a glove.
So I lay in bed last night thinking about this. Here are the sums:
We measure the knee 13" below the crotch. That leaves 23" to the hem on a 36" inseam
On the majority of our jeans we taper 1/2" from the knee to the cuff
That means the taper is 0.022739 of an inch per inch of inseam
Say we chop 4 inches off, then we lose 0.096857 of an inch in the width
On a hem that originally measured 9.5, it will now measure 9.41" -
That's fucking maddening. Is there a doorman or receptionist at the destination?

Finn … I'm guessing it's a guy at the customs.
Had the same issue once ... online tracking says delivered to XXXX .... ran frightened through the whole neighborhood to find somebody with this name ...
