      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]

      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.

            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)

            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

                    Ha….Imitation is the sincere form of flattery.

                    We should have a thread where we only post in the style of someone else.

                        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

                                      At risk of being slightly political, I think that politics has become increasingly polarised on all sides, and those on the extremes of their respective parties have tended to set the agenda.

                                      I don't know what the solution is. 😞

                                        Especially when the sticking point (from both sides) is the future, health and welfare of children (moral not political opinion).
