        @IndigoNoob:

        Some people have claimed to gave gotten 2" but from personal experience the 25oz doesn't stretch as easily as the 21oz denim. I got the standard one inch on mine and that took time. So I'd say 2" is a big ask. You'd also have to be prepared for some serious discomfort to wear the 25oz two inches too small.

          My size 33 634xhs are a size or two down from most of my other pairs. After two months of pretty regular wear, I only got a little over an inch of stretch. And they are straining at the waist, still. I will be breaking them out again in the next few weeks, and we'll see how much more stretch I get out of a full fall/winter season of wear.

            Hey everyone. Had a dry job done wrong due to a rain storm and now have the rankest smell on my jeans. I've washed them again and now they are properly drying outside. Has anyone used color safe bleach and gotten decent results for smell removal. I've also heard of vinegar in the wash too.  Any input is appreciated.

              I wouldn't trust color safe bleach simply because it's still caustic and will damage cotton fibers. Vinegar won't hurt at all, but is known to set dyes. My suggestion would be to turn inside out, making sure the waistband is even, and hang in the sun and fresh air

                  An anti bacterial wash will do it.

                    I am looking for a belt to pair with my Alden brown chromexel shoes (the ones that look pretty and red). Does anybody have a suggestion for a good belt that is similar in color? Possibly the IHB-01 in wine?

                      Sometimes an Instagram post comes along that fills me with joy. This is such a post:

                      The questions are:

                      Can someone confirm that wabash aprons will be made?

                      When is this modern miracle coming to a webshop near me?

                          Fekk. Yes. I want a wabash one for cooking and a duck one for carpentry. The denim one will be strictly for bedroom use, obviously.

                                    okay, coming up on the 7 year itch.  for some reason I just feel like this place has been around longer.

                                    okay another 2 questions, anybody using a standing desk?

                                    any thoughts or manufactures that you all are into? maybe I should put this in the healthy living section . . .

                                    oh & next question, anybody wearing grantstone shoes/boots?  please share your thoughts.

                                    thanks

                                        How long have you been a standing desk person & with all your healthier choices in life I have no freakin' idea who you are, hahaha

                                        what have you done with hard living, potato gun shooting, off-road driving, fisherman Giles, hahahahaha?
