The 25 oz denim is very rigid compared to the 21 oz which should settle a bit more easily.  Also, those boots look like are pull on, not lace on, so they probably aren't as snug on the ankle.  That said, if IH jeans weren't made to be worn w/ engineer/motorcycle boots, then I don't know what is.

My Busters are in the air, bound for American shores.  Amber waves of grain.  A better life rich with opportunity and hope.  I hope when they see the Statue of Liberty they feel the way imigrants felt in days of old.  I am going to beat the ever loving piss out of those bastards.

Matt are u moving to NY?  If so whereabouts?

[Matt]

No, not me.  I just like the idea of my pants coming into the US through Ellis Island and having their name changed because they sound too "Italian" like in The Godfather.  I'm in Baltimore.  Charm City.  The City That Reads.  Land of Omar.

Ahhh went st8 over my head lol   I want to somehow shrink the bottoms of these bad boys..Is there a way?

Love The Wire reference Matt….best show ever.

It is, and I'm almost positive I saw Snoop at the mall today.  I was too scared to call her out though.  At least this way I can believe what I want.  Coincidently it's the same mall where I saw Biz Markie… I think.

As far as shrinking your XHS DD...  I wanted to do the same thing to mine but I eventually came to my senses.  These jeans came to you the way God, Haraki and Giles meant for them to.  Embrace what you've got going there and enjoy the journey.  Not to mention the 25 oz is basically titanium dyed blue so you aren't going to shrink a Goddamn thing no matter how hard you try.  I just washed mine a few weeks ago and they did not move a fraction of an inch anywhere, inseam, waist, nothing.  I just cuff them 2 inches when I'm wearing Vans and rock w/ no cuff for boots and I haven't looked back.  Give them time to settle.

I'll post some pics this weekend, promise.

[Matt]

They're here and they're perfect.  I can't believe how well they fit.  I was worried they'd be tight but they are right inbetween the fits of my 666xhs and 666od.  I officially have a rotation.  I'll try to get some photos posted as soon as I figure out how to tell my wife I bought them…

These jeans even make waiting in the mall better as I have more time to appreciate the nuances of the denim….ahhh

[Beatle]
