I was born and raised in Dirty Jersey then recently moved to Virginia Beach.  Something about wearing my new heavy denim into the ocean for an hour than walking around with them on until they dry always appealed to me. Not to mention how it molds the jeans to my frame…

Hello Giles,

“Uncle Lenny” here. I’m living in Virginia Beach and the size 44W 25oz 777-XHSib are an almost perfect fit for now. There is plenty of room in the waist, more than enough in the hips and rear. These will be the pants I’ll be able to drive the 5 and a 1/2 hours to Jersey in (New Jersey, U.S. not Old Jersey U.K.) and move furniture in, do construction, climb ladders and telephone poles in. I’ll name these my Winter pair, or “Fat Lenny” pair. Once I walk into the ocean for about an hour or so they’ll be perfect. Of course I’ll have to walk around in the sun for about 6-10 hours until they’re dry but it’ll be fun. I have a pair of 40W 25oz IH-634-XHS in size 40 from 2015 that I broke in just right and I can still squeeze into. The key word is squeeze. The fit is tight in the waist and hips but I can still button them all the way up. I may not be able to sit or drive for a long period of time in them but I can stand and walk around in themjust fine. They’ll be my Fall/Autumn pair for when I start putting on weight. I’ll call them my Model Lenny pair since I’ll only be able to stand up straight and pose in them. The size 40W 25oz IH-666-XHS are a lost cause this year but ten pounds from now I should be back in them by next summer. The fit on me is very tight in the waist and hips and I can’t button the top two buttons anymore. Damn you Covid-19!!! You made me fat during lockdown. Anyway, The Skinny Twin! That’s what I’ll call them! That’s how you’ll be able to tell the difference between my twin brother and myself. (Thank goodness he can’t fit into any of my jeans. Haha, I win.) I need one more pair to round out my seasons and then I’ll be good. The pair I have my eye on are the 25oz IH-888-XHSib. The only thing I’m not sure of in the fit. Are they as relaxed as the triple 7’s? If so I would need a 42 when the come back in stock. It will be the Spring pair. (Spring Chicken Lenny?) I’ll have to work on a better name for those. You have until March 20th, 2022, the first day of Spring to get them back in stock or I’ll have to starve myself. I want to thank you again for the jeans and all the work you guys are doing. I never thought wearing clothes could be exciting and such a joyful experience for me again.

Just Got Em. About to go break them in…

Hyattsville MD. Also known as the Arts District. Busboys and Poets seems to be the most creative place around, for the poets and literature crowd. They have an arts festival every year but it rained this past year so I didn't make it…
