I have deleted a series of posts.  I came back from holiday in a good mood, now I am in a distinctly bad one.  If you children can't behave yourselves in public, I will throw you out of the playground.  I have better things to do with my time than clean up after you.

wow…must be sumthin I haven't read. Hope I didn't miss anything juicy...

[Giles]

Injun, you'll never know and that that is precisely the point.  Thus your post is completely redundant….

@Giles:

Personally, I have deeply discounted stuff for favours given and I get feckin mad when I see the item/items selling for more than I sold it for.  I think that it is bloody bad manners…..

My first asking price for the duck rider must've pissed you off then… I see I still majorly fuck up now and then... No disrespect meant, G... And I completely understand where you're coming from...

Seriously some food for thought, Mad'un... I try to never let money be the decisive factor in anything I do...

Can't even remember what you are referring to, so fret not…..

Food for thought MM, and I definitely agree that gifts should not be retailed. I have received offers for Tommys IH-MINI now that he is outgrowing them, but the way I see it is that they were a gift from H, and are now Tommys jeans (which he loves), so what to do with them is his decision, but they will never be sold.

If Tommy ever decides to pass them on they will be going straight over to to Jeffs (D666) boy Jake as a gift, but for now Tommy wants to hang them on his bedroom wall

Does denim weight have anything to do with how tight a pair feels? As in would a 21oz pair with the same measurements as a 14.5oz pair feel any tighter or is the difference negligible? Thank you denim gurus…:D

@Snowy:

Thanks you all again, excited to get a western snap and learn directly. I continue to learn a lot 

Just doubling back on this after a few months of getting in and wearing snaps & western cuts. Damn they are functional. The western cut continues to be not my favourite, but I quite enjoy the stitching/colour contrasts on the clothing. Summary; in both cases once experiencing directly, my perceptions were out of line with reality.

To a certain extent, yes.  Jeans are measured using their external dimensions.  The thicker the denim, then the smaller the internal diameter….

So I have a 30" waist and pretty large Thighs (I need a 12" thigh on my jeans now) anyone here have a similar problem? If so what brands/models do you find fit you best without having to go too large on the waist?

Cheers

Sounds like the 1955S is what you're looking for I believe:

I'd agree Adam.  Thanks.

I would love a comparison of the 301 to the 555 for anyone willing to give one.

[J-IV]

^^same here

[jacoavlu]

I don't own the 555 so just hazarding a guess but I would bet the 555 are a little slimmer in the top block than the 301. The 301 is tapered from both the inseam and outseam so it's a very tapered cut, the 555 is a very slim straight cut, it is straight at the outseam allowing for exposed selvedge edge at the leg opening

[natehate]

anyone know of any company that makes a slim fit jeans with suspender buttons?

[jacoavlu]

easier to have buttons added to the slim jean of your choice

We all knew abt the loop wheeled tees, does the quality of cotton matters when making a loop wheel tee?

[Giles]

I am sure it does as with all things, the quality of the raw materials is fundamental to the quality of the end product, but I have never been asked or have asked the question before.  I will try and get more data.
