@FlavourFade I’m shooting for 34’s same size as most of my IH’s.

@FlavourFade

I’m a “cuffer” but I may need them to hem to 36… 38 is a little long.

[anguirus]

I was dead set on these Guthries but looking at the size chart I have to pass. The ratio of tag size/waist to seat/thigh is bonkers. Super slim cut for sure, which makes no sense to me for what is supposed to be a bombproof pair of work pants.
Working folks generally run pretty large, at least the guys I know big buns and thick thighs

Also, no rivets and a button fly. I understand that Mike doesn’t like rivets but these pants look a little off to me with no visible hardware at all, and a button fly pair of work pants with a seat this narrow feels like an accident waiting to happen. Just a personal take.

Anybody have some inside info on the black Sashiko, when it might be done?

[mecken88]

@northsouthdenimguy i haven’t bought one, so im not waiting for it. But just wanted to share that from my experience Mike unfortunately doesn’t give out general updates along the way.

It’s mostly answers that’s very short and no information. So he usually doesn’t say anything until it’s actual go time.

But I hope you’ll get something soon, I know you all been waiting long and it’s over due on when it was supposed to be finished.

But I guess it will be well worth it!🥰

i’m stoked about the release of the guthries but sorta on the fence at the same time.

i’m not sure if they will feel like overkill outside of the winter here in chicago

[northsouthdenimguy]

@mecken88

I figured as much but just thought maybe one of you all had some inside Intel…

I guess I thought you guys were cooler than you actually are

Edit:

[sabergirl]

The measurements on those pants are ludicrous

[rewseph]

@sabergirl yeah, i totally get that sentiment.

i have pretty thin legs so the SJ cuts have always been perfect for me.

[northsouthdenimguy]

@sabergirl

Yeah, ideally if I could get a size 40 with a 36 waist it would proportionately make sense. Hoping the 38 is good enough, if Im able to get one.

[FlavourFade]

@rewseph yeah the overkill thing is something that concerns me too. I do wear my ducks at really high temps, so that makes me hope I'd get at least the same amount of wear out of the Guthries as I get from my xhs and 19L.

@northsouthdenimguy I emailed them yesterday about the update on the sashiko and literally just got a response. There was no date or anything. they said theyre moving, "albeit slowly" I know it will be worth the wait, I love my indigo one, I am just super eager to get this shirt finally. I just have a feeling it wont be this month...

[denami]

@northsouthdenimguy Not sure if you got the newsletter last night but it basically just said they are still moving through production. It doesn’t seem like they are close and I’m sure they’ll be worth the wait but I'm just hoping to get it by the end of February.

At least I won’t go home empty handed. Grabbed
me a hat that pays homeage to my favorite steel bike tubing.

[northsouthdenimguy]

@denami

Oh yeah, I didn’t read it… saw about the pants at the top of it and didn’t go any further.

[northsouthdenimguy]

@hgering27

I was just hoping to have it before it warms up so I can wear at least for a month or two.

[GraemeE]

@Brock no super glue tubes going in those pockets I assume?

[Brock]

@mecken88 the key is to use the shop app and have something else in your cart before you add whatever it is you’re trying to get.

[Brock]

@rewseph honestly I have no idea. I’ve never been able to wear SJ pants… for all the reasons previously mentioned above…
As far as the RCC I’ve worn them and they are too clammy and swampy for me. They look cool and are super durable but I’d rather wear something that’s actually comfortable

This! From day one with all SJ pants
