I'd be curious to see them measured the IH way and compare them to the 666 and 555 cuts. I'm happy to see they worked out!

Nice fit Finn. Just rock them for two years.

tatmantall

Yeah I'm not really seeing the 555 thing either… Maybe the 666 but still... Not even sure bout that either way I e of the best fits I've seen... Honestly reminds me of my MBB fit despite me not having alterations but could be that raf's taper compensates for the height difference?? Maybe... Or I'm just babbling. Who knows

^I love how you just said it's one of the best fits you've seen, reminds you of your own, haha. Classic, bro.

tatmantall

Haha I didn't even realize that… Was just typing as I was thinking... So much for modesty huh?

seanocono

Haha, yeah, it was just funny, that's all. I don't think anyone would take it as arrogance, or anything.

Challenge #1 - Denim Devils/ Denim Angels

Last week a co-worker of mine at my PT job asked if I knew anyone who knew anything about guitars… lucky for her- my full time job is to manage a music store, so I know a thing or two about guitars! Later in the week she came in with her guitar, but unfortunately there were some issues... This instrument's strings were 3/4" above the fretboard, it was missing a bridge saddle, the neck heel was cracked, and the neck had a serious back bow and was unable to be adjusted with no truss rod. If anyone reading this knows anything about guitars, I'm sure you understand... but for the rest of you- this means the guitar is now firewood, a boat paddle, a paperweight, etc.

Although the pictures don't suggest it- the guitar below is what she came to me with... it's a really unfortunate circumstance living in such a dry climate here in Alberta, Canada- but constant humidification is the only way to keep many instruments from going this way.

I felt pretty bad telling her that her guitar was junk, but the cost to fix the instrument well outweighed the value of it, and she laughingly she said 'Anyone want to buy me a guitar? My birthday's coming up!'….

It just so happens.... I was able to work some magic at the store and fnd a really great quality classical for a pretty fantastic price! I also found a case that had no guitar to match and was able to get a pretty awesome little starter kit together for her.

Community is an interesting thing. I'm a big supporter of the idea that good things come to people who do good, and when you receive something awesome, you should pass that feeling on to someone new. One of the other girls at work gave me her Iphone when my Ipod decided to magically disappear a couple of months ago, and it's a tool that I use every single day- it's amazing how grateful I am for it, so I was really happy to pass those good vibes on to the next deserving person.

If you'd like to see the reaction, you can check it out here:

(PS. I actually didn't know the video was being taken. Kinda funny actually!)

Cheers guys!

thanks a lot for the kind words mate and you're right, yours is really one of the best fits around and haven't even thought about the compensation of the height difference, sounds pretty self-explanatory to me though, since the smaller waist size dudes seem to get away with a way slimmer cut (especially from knee down!) for the straight cut jeans as us big guys do…so you really have a point there buddy!

Finn666

well done zentner!…hope she's at least gonna take you out for a coffee now

dlaz

Super Awesome fit @Finn666,and together with that lovely color Boots.damn!!!!!
Good for you to gamble to taper those,I dont dare too. as i have said many times,I am starting to love the fit.most of my jeans are tapered or skinny,so this slim-straight looking kinda nice variation for me.but they only go with a nice big silhoutte boots IMO.
