@dinobarnesberlin
the 666S-19L will be restocked soon, but that denim is hotter than the 21 oz.I would look at the 14 or 18oz. The 18oz is very breathable.
thanks for that fast reply Alex- Great to know about the 19L`s. I think I need a lefty in my life:)
As for now–-I will look more at those 18s---at some point I gave up on weight logic.
ive got plenty of tops and need to beef up my bottoms---that came out wrong-
you know what I mean. -
@Filthy:
Out of curiosity, what's the maximum amount of vertical shrinkage one can hope to get put of a pair of XHS? I've never had the foresight to try to figure this out on my own before. I figure about .75 of an inch?
In my experience it had varied from 0.5-0.8” but that is with a hot (50-60C), soak, a little agitation and air dry. If you wanted to do a machine wash and tumble dry you may get an inch, not least on a pair with a full, unhemmed inseam.

No, The Flat Head took it's inspiration from Ford Flathead engines of the 30's….

@Filthy:
Next I am thinking about drilling into the inside sole with a fine drill bit and injecting a small about of boot oil in there.
@zhivago @motojobobo this actually worked. I wore them all day lots of walking, and no squeaking.

Genius Sir! Seeing a potential side gig here for you man!!

Well done @Filthy ! Not surprised…your idea sounded solid from the beginning and execution was likely spot on. You ought to post it in places like styleforum or reddit where these boots get a lot of traffic. There is value in your hack as I’ve read about many Wesco/Viberg/Whites owners complaining about sole squeak and either sending them back or selling them.

I'm looking for a large, waterproof, and hard-core durable back pack. Anyone have any suggestions? My Timbuktu bag is over 10 years old and is still serviceable but I feel like I am ready for something else.

@Filthy – I'm all about the offerings from either Ortlieb (I have the Packman Pro 2) or Mission Workshop (I had the Rambler at one time).

Ooh, this sounds like a question for @Anesthetist, @Graeme, or @Cutlasshound…

I knew you guys would have something awesome to suggest

Look at the Attrack…...

No offense to Luke and Giles. But I am hoping they have something to suggest that looks less like something from the movie Cliffhanger.
These could possibly work… but I am looking for something that is not a roll top and can fit under an airline seat (even if it sticks out a bunch).

Wow that's a good one…
