[Brock]

@FlavourFade thanks! We’ve talked about it a little bit in the wake up and coffee thread

Hey fellas, just a couple quick questions:

How much should I expect a pair of jeans made with, say, the 14.5 Nihon Menpu or Vidalia denim to shrink after a wash?

Also, any plans of a restock of the double-knee duck pants in the near future?

[Brock]

Haven’t fit into these bad boys in a while!

@Brock man those pants are awesome. I would love to have a pair of those, I wonder if they are still in production, or something similar.

[Brock]

@Oaktavia they were never actually in production.. they are a one of two pair that Amos made for my dad and I back in 21’
Mine are out of 16-18oz material and my dads are 14-16oz.
It’s pretty cool to see the different fabrics wear together. He might make you a pair if you ask nicely

Wow those are amazing! I am messaging him now on Instagram to see if it is possible to have a pair made. Thanks for sharing and the heads up!

My favorite easy bottoms are the climbing pants and shorts of Battenwear. They haven’t made a run of them for a while, so I’ve been seeking out integrated ratchet belt options elsewhere. Got a couple from tech brands but found another heritage brand. And also got a Hensley I love from them. Good stuff!

The ratchet mechanism here is not quite optimal but still good. The platonic ideal for an easy bottom is a ratchet belt that easily loosens and tightens. Take note Iron Heart: having to knot and unknot drawstrings is too much work for “easy” shorts

@mclaincausey Gramicci makes great integrated belt pants and shorts.

I’ve been eyeing GPWW easy pants for a long time though.

[GraemeE]

@jordanscollected agree on gramicci and have been similarly eyeing grease point off and on

Brock made me aware that their workshop is apparently 2-3 blocks from my office - i had no idea

[Brock]

@GraemeE not anymore!
They just moved down closer to me.

12th and Division.

[GraemeE]

@Brock between them and ship john your hood is going to be quite the spot

[mclaincausey]

Thank you for the tip @jordanscollected ! Looking.

[jordanscollected]

@mclaincausey pretty sure Gramicci is considered the original in this design. I have their winter twill pant and they are great.

[sabergirl]

90s gramiccis were cut really weird with like the same rise in the front and back. Hopefully they’ve fixed the issue?

[jordanscollected]

@sabergirl my pant’s definitely have a higher rear rise. Hard to measure perfectly with the crotch gusset.

It’s pretty obvious Battenwear borrowed heavily. They look awesome.
