@zhivago:

depends how hot your dryer is, hotter = more leather "aging" for lack of a better term

Thanks Zhivago I have seen patches turn black and hard before so I wanted to avoid that.

Question: Will it always ruin your leather tag if you put the jeans in the dryer? Ihxb01 in my case.

Can anyone comment on the waterproof ability of the hunt boot? Could you walk through a small stream with them and have dry feet?

Izham if you are interested in a slightly worn pair I have some for sale.

Is there any chance of ih just carrying the 1955 without aero? Im starting to want a pair real bad.

+1 on buying the 18oz when it comes out

I have a size 32 634sr and i am looking for a 33 would anyone be interested in a straight trade?

@van:

Trying to figure out if a 1 hr cold soak is enough to start wearing these?

@LandoCal126:

Take it man. G, let the W32 out of my pile. All good.

So Lando did you get the 33? how did it work out?

Id like to put my name on a 32 please!!!

Bill Bryson, namely A short history of nearly everything.

Are you out of the smaller inseam in 32?

Ok ill keep that in mind, I just wanted to make sure cuz it seemed a little weird to buy the same size in stf

If the 32" 634s fit nicely after breaking in what size would I need in the 634sr

@Seul:

Thanks t_w_e!.. My mate's response. Not that I wanna drag this out or make a drama about it (Seth exaggerates the situation a bit in his description), just something I had actually never thought about, but he makes a good point… I'd rather not support a homophobic, racist b*stard such as Mugabi y'know... 

_Did some more reading since that first post. The situation for cotton farmers in Zimbabwe is dismal at best. They're waaaay underpaid for their crops, as the exports are either handled by Cottco or Cargill, both huge corporations. So farmers are often paid less than the price necessary to even break even.

As for the US ag industry, I too live right in the middle of it. Your dude isn't wrong; it's not pretty for a lot if families. Corporate exploitation by Monsanto etc, has driven most of them into the red. But that's a rotten comparison. If an American farm family hits bottom, they get food stamps and wear thrift clothing. Maybe lose their home. If a Zimbabwean farm family hits bottom, they die of starvation before the AIDS that a quarter of the country's population has can get them.

I think your guys are probably choosing quality cotton over social responsibility. Which, I mean, is their decision. Just means that I'll have to shop for retardedly expensive jeans elsewhere. Haha. Thanks for the Samurai link, on that note!_

Definitely food for thought!!

@Giles:

Not for me, but one of my retailers may want to do an authentic '55 501 repro, in that case me may not want the sewn in loops.  G

G Could I get a shout when you do get the new belt loops in.

Thanks
