Today I get my first pair of Vibergs, which are more likely to fit than what I was sized and ordered thanks to a stunning act of generosity by Giles, allowing me to trade out my E for a D. I didn't ask for this, he volunteered. What a great dude, thanks again man.

Also today, I receive my ZeeBee Leather belt, which some of you have seen pictures of in the ZeeBee thread. Obviously, I am very excited about that as well.

[Giles]

Thank you.  But generous it was not.  Getting it right (& I sincerely hope we do) first time is a lot less hassle, expense and disappointment for all of us….

[mclaincausey]

Well then, the enlightened self-interest is appreciated nonetheless

I am beltless today in anticipation of the ZeeBee, and I feel naked.

I can not go without a belt during the day… It's like wearing boots without laces...

[mclaincausey]

Fortunately, I have one at the office I've put on.  But then I fucking remembered I had him send it to my house anyway

Poor lad!..

Will a wash soften up the 666-XHS a bit. Straight out the box they are too tough.

I don't have experience with 25 oz but I would guess a wash would soften it up a little.

On an unrelated note, I managed to stretch out the sleeve openings on my type 3 through the use of some graduated glass cups and a little elbow grease….and I'm crazy stoked. The fact that the sleeves were almost cutting off circulation was the only thing I didn't like but now they're perfect

It will help, eventually.  However, when they dry they will be crispier than before.  You just have to wear the soft out of them.  After a few hours/days of body heat and perspiration they will be slightly softer than they are now.  But the denim will thank you for the early soak.

Sacrilege, I know, but what about a tumble with fabric softener?

Jeff, man up. Wear them regularly and in a month they will feel like sweat pants.

Only just realised it's Friday 13th today… Nothing will go wrong...

^ so, how do you like?
fit looks quite the same from this angle!…

[derivative666]

They do fit the same was actually thinking the vulcans look like my 666s

The vulcans are size 35 the duck devils are 36
That is the difference I think

Goddamn I love these Vibergs. Holy shit!  Favorite lace-ups of all time.
