Allison Stokke?

Bob , fancy a drink later  …? We can discuss denim and it's various usages and fade properties ...

[Bob]

You're on. (And that photo is frameable . . .)

@NorthernVictory:

Allison Stokke?

She and Murielle Ahouré are the only reasons you'll find me glued to the screen during the Olympics or indoor events…

[Giles]

Murielle heard you…...

[Seul]

Poor piglet…

[Bob]

Ah! It is good to be among sports fans.

@Giles:

There is nothing planned.  I will sit down with H in November and have a chat…....

I'd be willing to go full-blown 25 oz 'Canadian Tuxedo' if you made a 25 oz shirt/jacket. Or part with more money if you made another color/warp weft combination.

[Giles]

Never say never, but a jacket is highly unlikely to happen.  Jackets are more complicated to make than jeans, I would not even risk the withering look from Haraki by asking.

[fanya]

SE made a jacket out of their 23oz denim, is the 25oz denim really that much more unworkable?  Just curious, I'd pick up a 25oz jacket too possibly for the DT if the sizing was right, although you have already pretty much stated it isn't happening

[Giles]

I never thought H would agree to the 23…....The 25 is much tougher stuff

[Bob]

Zero interest in my slightly used 31x34 BCJs in the secondary market, so I suppose I will keep them and give them hard but occasional wear, and at some point discover my personal limits as regards sustained compression in the "gentlemen's area".

Again, full marks for quality and fit in every other aspect.

[JCMx800]

The fabric will stretch and will get pyjama soft, don´t give up!

[Bob]

Thanks JCM. That is my hope, that softness and pliability will out.

I have been wearing them all day today (blessed day off work!) and haven't cursed them once, which is a positive sign. They have a custom-like fit elsewhere, so by rights I should be pleased with the compromise.

I have a lifelong affinity for Japanese goods (I was born there). Thus continueth the saga.

[JCMx800]

My waist (tagsize 32) stretched from 32" to 34", that´s 6,25%, pretty sure the front will stretch too
I mean…
Well...
Sounds like the front will get lots of pressure...

[Bob]

Definitely don't need more room in the waist–wearing a belt so they won't stretch there.

These would make outstanding jeans for very cold weather. There is the thickness, and they're cut for shrinkage, say no more say no more . . .

[EDIT/UPDATE:  After reading about what worked for KrisB (go oversized), I may give that a go with the DWCxUHR pre-order. As these 31x34s fit well in all but one respect, I may go for a 33 or even 34 waist in the DWCxUHR and 36 length, and single-cuff them. After a hot soak or three the 34 waist DWCxUHR would be close enough, and I could just do the belt cinched, 80s-style (yikes).]

[KrisB]

@bob I may be doing same thing, the DWCxUHR's seem promising
