trigger pulled.  was debating between this and the 8301 forever.  hopefully i made the right decision!

[Giles]

You'll find out tomorrow or Wednesday, they are being hemmed as I type…..

[riffblaster general]

WOW

[Giles]

And that's not just because you are the worlds most famous (but not necessarily the best ;D) bass player - it just worked out like that…...

[riffblaster general]

i'll take preferential treatment wherever i can get it.  btw Jake and I went to brunch yesterday and it looked like an ironheart ad come to life.  i blew it and didn't get a picture.

[Giles]

That's a cock tease…..

[riffblaster general]

i'll make it up to you next time we're in the uk.  wait that sounds weird….

[riffblaster general]

It appears that i underestimated the measurements on these bad boys.  if anyone is looking for a brand new pair W30 hemmed to 31" let me know.

[bertoni]

I'm thinking of copping some 555s (not sure which yet) so would like to know what you mean by underestimated mate? Too small/tight?

[riffblaster general]

They are a little slimmer than I had anticipated.  I can get them on and button them and walk around but I wouldn't be able to do anything really physical in them.  Basically I should have gotten a 31 instead of a 30.  Totally my mistake.

[Giles]

Riff, that denim does stretch a lot…..

[riffblaster general]

Maybe I'll give it a few days. It's mostly the thigh/crotch area.  If I can get a little bit of thigh stretch they should work.

[Giles]

Hey, you've got a Dottie, do you need them again…..?

[riffblaster general]

definitely not.  one and done my friend.

9301 vs. 555-03 not the "same" denim but images coming soon

[riffblaster general]

monday…i will have both in the next few days as well so when i get em i'll do the same.

[madmonday]

cool rbg, curious to see your thoughts & i really put stuff up to force myself to find the time to do it.

almost an entire page without an image:

sh!tty image better than no image, hahahahaha

[madmonday]

random things i've  noticed on my 555 03s (34)  & 9301s (33). i think the 9301s are a bit roomier in the top block & tapper less than the 03s, but i didn't measure yet to get "proof".  hell for all i know it's just the denims used causing the difference in feel.

the patch on my 03s have taken on a peanut butter color & i luv it:

the patch on the 9301s is just blacked out & really goes well with super black stubborn denim:

(i know shitty flick will attempt to find the time to get pics in natural light but black is a bitch to capture images of)

Hurrah…... I've changed my mind.....

I am not going to kill the sbg denim.

I have initiated a new run of the denim, so these are no longer endangered....

[Max Power]

Great choice! Been wearing mine yesterday and love the cut and denim.
