@Simoon:

This difficulties disappears after soaking

Really? Awesome, thanks.

@Deebo:

Thanks Beatle,
I really think part of the difficulty buttoning them up had a lot to do with the stiffness of the denim and the small button holes.

yes, the tiny button holes and stiffness of the denim makes it bloody hard to button initially.. G posted some tips on how to expand the holes using pliers (I used thick scissors). Reckon the pic is in the 25oz jeans thread but not sure which one.

This helps a ton, Thanks man.

Yeah now these are my everyday go-to pair of jawns. Its so comfortable that I'd even sleep in them.

[Deebo]

Pulled the trigger on the 31s this afternoon. Took some pre-soak pictures then hopped in the tub with them on for 30 minutes. The water wasn't piping hot but it was pretty darn warm. They are still hanging right now but I tried them on while still damp about a half hour or so ago and the fit is AWESOME. I will take some pictures in the morning when they are completely dry. Also going to drop them back off at SE to get them hemmed up. This thread has really helped me out so THANK YOU to all who contribute. First pair of the best jeans I've ever had. I will post pictures soon.

looks good…. love the bright red vans!

[RocknRoll]

They look pretty sweet to me, just give 'em a few weeks to settle in.

[Dirty Denim]

Thats a pretty damn good fit Deebo…Lucky u

[Seul]

Deebo: fuck yeah lad!.. Wear 'm proud, wear 'm hard.

[Deebo]

I really appreciate the feedback guys, thanks. The calf area is still very stiff from the soak and looks quite bulky from the front, but I can tell that will go away with some time.

@Seul:

Deebo: fuck yeah lad!.. Wear 'm proud, wear 'm hard.

Exactly what I'm planning to do Seul. Thanks.

@Dirty:

Thanks man, I was a little worried about the calves but I think it will be cool.

Appreciate it man, I can't wait until they settle in.

@volcano:

Haha, Thanks Volcano. Yeah if I'm not in vans I'm in converse.

^ the red ones are vans aren't they? been wanting one but didn't dare cos its quite hard to match with a top.

Yeah Volcano, the reds are Vans Era. I thought the same thing, but they really match up well with most things.

i lost 20lbs recently, bought these a tts at the time, sz34. they've gotten a smidge big on me, the thought to buy something else has been tickled, but decided against. absolutely love these things though. I'm almost sure I'm the only Texas owner.. Could be wrong?

Only problem that exists:

[andredrake]

I dont like that friend

[Finn666]

fig is perfect IMO…a little loose but not too loose. just loose enough to make it a perfect look

hope that makes sense

@tsxser:

That's a common issue with jeans (not excluded to IH jeans btw!). No need to worry!.. Fit is great imo!..

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yeah happens on all jeans over time…especially if the fit is tighter in the top block and it puts stress on the threads every time you put your hand inside the pockets.

So You own Texas, good for ya… 

[Deebo]

I got these last week at SELA and I'm pretty sure they are missing the bar tack, not certain though.

[Giles]

Yes they are.  SE should be able to fix that for you…..

[Dirty Denim]

What does a pair of jeans with the bar tack in place look like or should i say what does the bar tack look like?
