@Chris that is a great idea! @tvenuto I am more of an android guy. I just like having a cheap phone because of my tendency to drop them from hundreds of feet or into water or both. They used to make us have intrinsically sound phones. But now they just tell us to not use them at work or when no one's looking.
-
Well, if you're going to be treating it like that, the Note 9 might be a bad idea. ??? The price has come down some since it was introduced, but even the cheapest price is like $800+. I'd hate for you to buy one and then toss it off a building…
-
Have you tried, hay Google, take a picture? I know it works for my pixel phone…sure it works for others, so you can take photos when you want. Or tike delay, works just as well
-
Yeah I will have to try it out. My phone is a POS though. Thanks.

@Filthy:
… it seems way too vain to buy a camera just to take pictures of clothes....
That is exactly what I did, but I am exactly that vain [emoji1] However I told my wife it was because my SLR was too old and clunky to easily take pics of our small kids, so I’m a devious twat too [emoji847]
@Filthy:
…damn Neph I would be going apeshit.
I was verging on quiet panic but it showed up in Norwegian customs this morning. Parcelforce tracking must have missed the scan where it left the UK.
On another note the Norwegian postal service tracking app has just introduced the most pointless application of augmented reality I have ever seen… I can now fantasize about having my package in front of me at work, even though it is still about 48 hours and 1500km away. Someone should tell them they need a blue bag animation if they want to get me all virtually hot and bothered...
-
I'm glad the package finally was found. Seriously the best 1.6 kg there's ever been.
-
Got mine back from the tailor, yay!
I normally go 30-30.5" in the inseam for that perfect clean look, but I opted to go to 32" on these because I had a feeling that they'd stack well, and the inside looks great, so I can also cuff. And I'm super-glad that I did, because these look great!
My tailor was not very happy about 25oz denim. I promised her I'd only bring her 21oz and below from now on LOL
I'll take a fit-pic tomorrow when the light's better.

Mine should be here Thursday[emoji41]

I loooove the taper on these. It feels slimmer than the 21oz 888, OD or standard. I learned this morning that if I plan on wearing socks that go up to my calves, I have to put the socks on before I put on these jeans, because I literally can't raise the pant legs up past my mid-calf.

Mine too. Getting pretty excited…

they came up very nice indeed. Love thw stacks. The too block looks quite fitted too. Is it that way on your other 888’s?
Btw, I think tje weight and stiffness of the denim helps increase the impression of tightness with all 25oz iterations.
-
Yeah, I'm really glad that I went with a slightly longer inseam. I was afraid that the stacks would ruin the silhouette, like we've talked about, but because the taper is so tight, the stacks look good, at least for now! Maybe once the denim loosens up, I'll want to get them hemmed some more.
The top block is – fitted. It's not loose but also not too tight. This will be my first full day wearing them so I'm sure it'll loosen up. Let's just say that it's a little tough to cross my leg in order to tie my shoe, but sitting and squatting feels fine. I don't think that it looks too tight. Let me ask some of my office mates how my butt looks in these jeans
I'm excited for you to get yours, @neph93 !
-
The XHS lends itself to stacking better than the 21oz because of its thickness I think. The fit looks great, not too tight at all. Don't expect them to loosen up a whole bunch for while. That takes time with the 25oz….I really like how iterations of the same cut work differently because of the denim.
I'm excited about mine but nervous too. I sized down and the waist is going to be restrictive for a few weeks. That I can do, but the thigh shrinkage people have gotten has me a little concerned
-
They look perfect on you Paul. It's good you sized down. A size up would have been too big. They will give a good bit and mold to your body. My advice is to get drunk and go to sleep in them (unless you are prone to peeing your pants while you are drunk).
I have been really sick and slept from 4 PM yesterday until about 7 AM this morning in mine. It helps break them in faster.

Thanks, man, I'm glad I listened to you and sized down
I wouldn't say I'm prone to piss myself while drunk, but considering how hard it is to unbutton these, it might just happen
Feel better, Filthy! You got a bit of the flu that's going around? I'm all about breaking in gear but wearing these while sick is a whole different level of dedication. I salute you!
It feels good while standing, feels a little tight while sitting.
