          @grandmasterben:

          thanks for all the input guys… after thinking about it more I have a feeling itll either be the flat head jackets or the engineers, and I feel like I really cant go wrong with either one.

          mclain, you tried on the brown cafe racer in the pic I showed (with 4 pockets)?  didn't know they had it, will definitely have to take a gander next time!

          Yes. It was so sweet man, and I think it would fit and suit you well. Having seen it in person Flat Head leapfrogged Buco and Himel for me, though to be fair I haven't seen those in person yet. Please buy it so I don't do something stupid!

          Think it, be it.

            Not sure if that extra space is on purpose or not, if it's is, it's gold, if it's not, comedy :). (I see double space as a comma like pause, IE No way that, those are too short).

            (And they fit fine, hence the comedy)

              Haha no just an error In Typing first I wrote no way those are too short, as in there's is not a possible way that those jeans could be considered too short,but then realized it might be misinterpreted so added a that, which apparently still confused the situation. So let me clarify in simple terms.

              They look great. 🙂

                  I have someone in Australia who is wanting to purchase my himel and has offered to include extra for the shipping. I figure snowman might have experience but any other advice is welcome as well. What I was wondering is what is the best shipping service to use for this? The person has asked for three day priority through USPS, but I have my reservations as I have had nightmare experiences with them on international orders in the past

                    My advice is don't touch USPS.  Send with Fedex, UPS, TNT or DHL.

                      Kind of what I was thinking, I just read that USPS international priority no longer gives confirmation either so I'm not protected by paypal… Pretty expensive item to roll the dice on

                          It will cost more but the peace of mind is worth it… IMO UPS is the way to go.

                            UPS is my standard when I ship, but I usually just try to stay in continental US. Gonna check with them today about costs and the other details

                              Sorry for delay, freaking work :|. I've never lost a package with USPS from SF to AU, but I've had a few damaged boxes. Fedex or UPS are both the gold standard IMO. USPS when it enters Australia becomes Australia post, those guys are just as bad (and can be just as good), point being they'll leave it on a door step unsigned even if it says signature required etc etc….

                                Just seen on another vendors site who are selling some Viberg copper task rough-out boots, that they are listing them as calf-skin, so two questions, are the IHVB-03CT calf-skin and are the IHVB-04-B-O-T the same?

                                          I wore my 555-01s for the first time today and that bulgy thing on the pocket bags kept poking the side of my hips which was quite uncomfortable and slightly painful because it is very thick.

                                          Has anyone else experienced this? What can I do about it?

                                            Keep wearing them.  As they break in, that area will mold to your body and stop being uncomfortable.  Probably wouldn't help much, but you could also wash them and then put them on while they're still a bit damp.  That might help speed up the break-in process.
