      I just got sz9 because it's all that was left. They're a little loose but nothing thick socks can't fix. I wear an 8.5 in Alden and 9 in most athletic shoes. So a 9.5 would have probably been good for you. Not sure they have any 9.5 left though.

        @Giles:

        People

        If I got the two-tone round & the flat laces.  What lengths would you buy?

        @Seul:

        How big a price difference is there?.. Cause you can just cut these to size… I always do that... So maybe just get the longest ones and only those?..

        That works for leather laces, but will it work for these?  I'm working on the assumption that the laces have aglets on the ends, and that if you cut them off, they'll start to unravel.

        I'd say get the 54" at the minimum, but 63" would work better for most boots.  And since I'm guessing most people will be buying these for boots, that seems the best choice.

          So they run .5 size smallish?

            I edited my post. I meant a 9.5 would probably be good for you. I got te same size as I wear in most athletic shoes and they are a bit too wide. But with thick socks they are fine.

              Thanks Urb, in that case I'll either get a 10 and rock heavy socks or just skip all together. The price is really good though, so a temptation they remain.

                That works for leather laces, but will it work for these?

                I was assuming they were the two-toned leather laces as seen in eg. Red Wings and OSBs, as I said earlier on…

                  want a pair of jeans, here's what i would like:

                  indigo in color,
                    weight of denim or weave where i can wear them at least 3 seasons out the year
                    mid-rise to show the least amount of a$$ crack when bending down, but not so high that my current gut protests,
                    thigh (12.5" to 13" ish),  leg opening (7.5" ish) after being altered to about 31" or so
                    back pockets not huge, sorry kind of random but i hate really big back pockets

                  any ideas mucho appreciated.  brand of denim doesn't really matter, just looking for that cut

                      That's one hell of a taper, but how about the Flat Head 3012?  Seems like it might hit on most of your criteria.

                          thanks chris.

                          i guess i'm kind of carrot shaped & so carrot fit jeans are my preference for the moment.  thanks for that link mega, but those back pockets are pretty awful & huge looking . . . entire top block looks horrible.

                          think i'm gonna butcher my 25oz BB as they are just sitting here & i'm too stubborn to sell . . .

                            Illustrative purposes only MM, I would never advise a purchase from that link, ha ha

                            Your MBB butchery sounds like a plan to me.

                            Edit: Talk to Rafa, I think he did something similar with his.

                                Alright boys help guide my moral compass
                                I had this buddy
                                He got a girl friend
                                Stopped answer his phone
                                Stopped responding to texts
                                But he still talked to my folks
                                A lot
                                And then fucked my old man over on a fairly large deal
                                So two years later I got this text

                                What should my course of action here be?
                                Am I wrong to be offended by this?
                                Does this seem odd to anyone else?
                                Help me out boys

                                don't you know there ain't no devil? only god when he's drunk!

                                  Who asks that in a text?

                                  You could ask him to square things with your dad, but I don't think this dude is even worth taking the time to respond.

                                      Wow-this sounds as if out of a movie or novel.

                                      You are surely not wrong to be offended, that's putting it mildly.

                                      Ignoring it seems the obvious course, unless you feel you could either achieve something regarding this "deal" where he wronged your dad, or, on a totally different front, regarding your own closure about the loss of a friend. I'd sleep a night or two over it, do what you do, namely consult a few people I trust (ideally including someone who knows you and that guy personally) and then make up my mind.

                                      Keep your jeans on–-and let nothing come in between you and the denim !
