      Lol. Well, I've certainly never had any claim to being popular.

      A successful Unpop Op of the Unpop Op thread could be our 5 mins of fame though…

      Imagine all of the nay-sayers chanting our names with pitch forks and torches in hand!

        @DougNg:

        I can get a pygmy pig

        are you serious or being a doug? if serious tell me more, had a friend that wanted to get into pig farming and all I could ever think of was the movie where the villain advised everyone to beware of a man with pigs because they can eat this much human flesh and blah, blah, blah


        not a bad unpop @Clint_D , being that I'm 5 feet 8 inches on a good day I tend to go with slim, highly tapered denim because by the time they are hemmed to my 28" to 30" they almost always look like a regular pair of jeans.  when I put on 634s and jeans that are supposed to be able to accommodate a lot of folks builds and get the denim hemmed they look horrible on me (think jinco jeans)

        not sure why, but I'm not into the faux cuff where you see the hem sticking out but there is still like a foot of denim rolled up.  and again no idea why I don't like it as I love a single cuff, might be cause they cheating and getting the best of both worlds by showing the roping and having a cuff and not committing to the single cuff

        yeah a bit of a neph post hahahaha

          I cuff all my jeans. Mainly because it makes the hem smaller and no one likes. 10” hem with size 9.5 shoes haha [emoji23]

            Do you un-cuff and re-cuff after and before every wear? I usually just leave my cuffs in.

            I only uncuff before a wash and then recuff after my jeans have dried, otherwise, they remained cuffed

              That’s my issue. That’s why before the 888 I had all my IH tapered by Railcar. you can drive a car through the hem of a size 42 634s. Now that I’m down some weight I can fit in other cuts.

              Maybe so. Maybe not

                I only un-cuff for cleaning (Machine wash, warm water with full spin cycle, and machine dry… The only proper way to wash clothes, lol!) <–- SUPER unpopular opinion

                Warm water?  What kind of a monster are you?  The correct method is machine wash, cold water with full spin cycle, and a machine dry (high heat).

                  I cuff most of my jeans/pants.  Not a fan of huge cuffs though.

                    I also wear slim tapered denim. jeans with wide hems look silly on me. it's about proportions. @ 5'11 I simply can't get away with a hem that's 8.25" or bigger. I'm not against uncuffed denim either though, I just think wearing your jeans cuffed or uncuffed is dependent on the type of footwear you're wearing and how the denim drapes.

                        I really do want one, but I'm fighting an uphill battle since there is some inconsistency in the breeding. You can wind up with a pig the size of a large dog, mostly they get up to 200lbs, and could potentially get up to 600lbs. Jody isn't real hot on that idea.

                        This is only for pygmy pigs, not potbellied pigs.

                        And yes, pigs are one of only a few species that can digest human hair and bone. There is a pig farm 7.2 miles from my house.

                        I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                                Yeah, @madmonday, I guess I was having a bit of a moment.  Part of it is probably projection on my own strange build.  I'm 5'9" but am much more leg than torso apparently as I typically wear a 32.5" to 33" with some break or slight stacking.  I've had issues over the last few years finding denim that fits in both the waist, thigh, knee etc.  I recently rediscovered how much I love the 634 cut when I won the auction for the sample 634SBG's.  They've been my go-to pair for the last 3-4 months and they're aging wonderfully and fit the way I like.  I should really get some pics uploaded when I get home from work…

                                  Having seen the 634SBG from @Clint_D in the flesh, I would attest to the need for photos - they are unreal

                                    it was a good unpop op, and it is the point of the thread

                                    the thread is like the rants thread, except rants go on without much dialogue, unpop ops are fun because it's a bit more back and forth.

                                    best part is no one is trying to change or bash other folks ops, just give their take on the same subject, item, etc. and keep it moving

                                    believe it or not this forum has been super good for my empathy, hahahaha cue emo music

                                    back to unpop op, hahaha
