I used to get my ass beat a lot. But I always deserved it and it is why I am so polite and respectful now.

I come from a family of pacifists that never lifted a hand to me, so I’m a bit of a back-talker. But in a respectful, rational way, usually. If that makes sense.

Totally does. 

I am kind of kidding. So I want to make it clear that I wasn't abused or anything. I actually think it's kind of funny. One time I did something that prompted my grandmother to tell me to go get a 'switch' and I brought back a blade of grass. Haha I still think about it and laugh.

Also I tease my mom all the time about when she beat the dog with her house slipper and told the dog to, "git dahn the cellar" (in Pittsburghese) when the dog tore the sofa to shreds one day while she way at work and we were at school. LMFAO 

One of these cat lady slippers:

I’m in-between sizes 34-36 on this pair and like my thighs to fit a big snug. How much stretch should I expect from this lighter weight denim?

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Always size down in that instance.

That was my thought but the 33.5 waist has me sweating. Lol  ???

When you soak them just wear the waist damp for a bit… and ask the crew for the largest waist they have bud.

In this cut I think you’ll be fine.

Nabbed in a 33, my first pair in probably two years…

I’m not sure I remember my last pair at this point. Maybe my 633s?
Mine arrived yesterday but I worked late so this is my first crack at them. They are a little snug in the waist but I’m confident they’ll loosen up. I was expecting more of an Okinawa denim but they remind me of a smoother Dirt Denim from Trophy. It’s dark, stiff, and pretty coarse stuff which should be a killer fader.

Pardon the shit pics, it’s really overcast today.

I’m no fabric expert but they feel similar to Momotaro Zimbabwe cotton but without the hairy surface. Similarly course and crunchy.

They look great! Nice fit.

Thanks! They seem to settle in relatively quickly and the waist is already more comfortable.

Keep up the good work, @tvenuto. I’m loving these. 888 is definitely the IH cut I’ve been waiting for. These will get a lot of wear this summer. Now, just have to settle in and wait for an 888 in regular XHS.

Can anyone chime in on how these breath / feel in the heat as compared to the 14oz fabric?
