@Matt I logged in just to like this.

@Alex can you tell us any more about this new 16oz vintage denim that's used on the FW25 chore jacket and cpo? Is this the same denim used in the relaxed cut @Giles has been wearing?

I see that it's sanforized, but I'm wondering if there's any connection to the old 18oz raw vintage, i.e. is this an attempt to get something in that vain back in the lineup? Part of me thinks maybe because of the word "vintage," but maybe not due to it not being raw. Anyway, frickin' curious af over here.

@gmk83 they’ll be posted this week prior to the release and yes, as far as I know they’ll be available online simultaneously.

Yep @Bobcat-Sig I definitely agree with everything @pechelman said above ^^^ . It wasn't something I paid a lot of attention to for a good long while, because I really didn't understand why it mattered, but in retrospect I do think it has a lot to do with how the top block fits. A lot of times I'd buy a pair of IH that'd fit well in the waist, but the general top block was just too snug and I'd be thinking "I don't get it — why is this happening?" I don't think the rear rise is everything in that equation, but it's definitely part. I'd say like most dimensions, measure a pair of jeans that fit you really well and try to aim for that. The good thing is like Phil said, you can get a bit of stretch out of it.

My girlfriend would definitely agree about butts! lol. I think that probably has a lot to do with why I don't wear skinnier jeans — if I had chicken legs and a smaller ass, I could definitely pull that off a lot easier, but these are the cards I was dealt

@Bobcat-Sig totally hear you on that. 634's 11"-ish zone is kind of the sweet spot for me, as a 12"+ rise is fine but sometimes I almost feel like it's a tad too high when I sit down and it sorta slices into my gut haha.

I have learned, especially with the aforementioned pair of 19Ls, that the back rise is a real one to watch out for. If it's too low, you can really get sort of a wedgie effect if you have any kind of butt. If I'm buying around a size 34, 16" rear rise is perfect, can do 15.6ish.

@dinobarnesberlin man I love that denim! I tried to get a pair of the last run but the back rise ended up weirdly low and I had to send em back. Hoping to pick up a pair next time around.

@Brandrea yep. Not a problem for all but I have huge feet and an 8” hem won’t fit over my engineer boots, or at least not without looking silly. Plus just not personally a fan of the way tapered jeans look on me. Obv they work great for some folks.

Not really getting my hopes up but would love to see this denim in a 634 someday. Love the way it looks but just can’t do the taper.

I’m in the same boat. Love this but I’ve got the Untucked and it’s maybe the only work pattern shirt I have, so I wanna keep it in the mix.

Just a personal opinion but the duck CPO goes with more. I tend to not wear my denim tops a ton because I’m not always (though sometimes I am, of course) into going all denim.

@Mizmazzle yoooooo! Doin alright, man. Same ol shit . How bout you?

Those snaps at the bottom are wild — what are they for? Securing your cuffs? I'm intrigued...

@SKT hahaha a great way to see me sweat (or worse), guaranteed. Today it was so hot out there that I didn’t even wanna try to find a spot in direct sunlight to capture the fades

Almost getting too hot here, but wear XHS or die tryin'.

I noticed it, too.

@Nick said in Unpopular opinions:

I do enjoy people arguing about it. Esp flat earth. Watching a YouTube video does not give you the authority to deny actual science from scientists. Not sure if I should laugh or just hold my head in the palm of my hands.

Flat-Earth belief is really peak moronitude, the uncut cocaine version of stupidity. I feel like I need to develop a checklist to present to these folks.

1. Go outside. I know it's hard, but do it.
2. Find a wide open space and pick an object far in the distance.
3. Walk forward and notice how said object appears to rise out of nowhere as you approach.
4. Ponder a curve.
5. Go back home and read anything but your phone. Preferably a book.

Bless this thread

@AdamJ is the BB version being produced at the same time, or separate runs? Been keeping an eye out for that one, last estimate was supposed to be April or maybe May IIRC.

@Mizmazzle so sorry, man. Losing pets is the hardest. Big hugs ️
