Buying My Buddy a Gift...Surprise, It's Denim!!
-
@Mizmazzle sounds like you’ve got him hooked!
-
@ARNC it’s pretty funny because he and I are so much alike. We tend to end up with alot of the same gear based off something he discovers or vise versa.
In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...
-
@Mizmazzle That's all it takes. Wear & tear.
-
@Mizmazzle congrats to your mate! Are you going to hem for still a single cuff or "no break" fit?
-
@FlavourFade think we gave him a bit of extra length so he can single cuff if he wants. Thought process was, “better to go a little long than a little too short.”
-
@Mizmazzle great idea! I'm tending to prefer the no cuff little break Look more and more the last time but always have a pair to cuff and show of this selvedge ID
-
@FlavourFade I’m a no cuff guy myself. Like a nice bit of break for moderate stacking.
-
Bonus points for me is that my girlfriend likes the no cuff look a lot more because she thinks big cuffs look like "BossHoss" (a weird german band which does something like biker country music but not in a -too me- cool way)

Ok friends. Last post here for awhile. We picked up Matt’s 888 21oz from Berkeley Supply today. They did an excellent chainstitch hem job.
Matt is beyond stoked. They came out perfect for his tastes. He kept commenting on how he couldn’t believe how much air flow he was feeling through the denim. He even wore them out into the 102° heat to drive home in.
Thanks again to everyone here for the support and good natured fun and commentary. This forum is the shit and the people who hang out here make it that way!!
Gratzi 1000!!!

@Mizmazzle they look fantastic and I hope (and know) that he will get many years of use and enjoyment out of them. Tell him nice kicks as well!
-
@Mizmazzle they have a Union Special?? I have some pairs to bring in.
-
@mclaincausey yup! Fairly new addition to the shop. Think they’ve had it for close to a year now.

@Mizmazzle Nicely done.
-
@Mizmazzle definitely rocking that, “where have you been all my life?” grin
-
@Mizmazzle amazing fit and amazing friendship!!

Thought I’d share the quick update that Matt has fully embraced his denim journey. Took him a little bit to get used to the idea of wearing a pair of jeans hard, but he’s now hiking in his 888s and has dumped his old Levi’s. Additionally he’s added a couple pairs of Freenote jeans to his collection (black gray selvedge and the indigo x brown selvedge).

Sounds like Matt is solid dude!
