118 wears and I’m all dead even with my 21ib, sbg, 18 vintage, and indigo 21. Nearly the same washes.

Some Mead to warm up

My hands look cold

@Matt once I got my technique down for cooking my own crabs I could no longer order them anywhere. The only way I can get em is live and cook them myself

@Daniel-San word, thanks. If it fits and is comfortable I’m sure itd be good for everything I do on/off bike.

Any testimonials as to how these fit whether steer or horse is appreciated. Arm slimness? Shoulder dims? Armpit fit etc? Real world experience never ends up in the product description lol

@m4xime I do always size for the stretch. My target waist is 34” true, and I always size 888 down to account for it. Different fabrics have different stretch posted.

@hepyek

I’d add that it depends on your body shape heavily. I’m a pretty slim dude, and go down from a 34 in 555 and 777 to a 32 in 888, waist goes from the loosest measurement to the tightest with the 888.
555 is skin tight on me with a baggy waist, but I’ve seen thicker guys rock it perfectly.
Measurement comparison is key, follow the website instructions and you’ll be golden. You can count on an inch of stretch or possibly more if you need it.

Hey @Daniel-San , how’s that 1mm tea/core doing? How’s the chest room on that one? I’m thinking that may be my next try since the Leon isn’t really working out.

I think @sabergirl might be right, the issues is the chest area. The front between the pits limits my mobility. The measurement across the tightest part between arm holes is a good 2 inches less than my UHFs.

Thanks @Oaktavia and @EdH !
These are my chopperin’ hard rock pants. The black hides the grease well. Maybe the combs come from my drumming? Any drummers here have similar effects? One thing I’ve noticed about riding motorcycles is the heavy butt crotch crease that wears pretty fast. These are fraying already unfortunately, you can see that white streak there. I think I need to wash more

2nd wash at 118 wears
Before:

@goosehd thanks man! It’s still a bit snug in the chest zipped but these aren’t meant to be swimwear lol
I think it’ll relax nicely but may take some work. Love this leather! I can tell it wants to fade.

@seawolf I can’t blame anyone for not getting it. It’s a learned skill. It’s a social food. A decent crab picker can get 2 full crabcakes worth in 5 minutes if rushed. It’s not just a meal it’s a tradition. Lobster is an easy copout when Marylanders have a crab feast, it’s an event.

I think this one might be on the money

Speaking of Maryland and blue crabs, this may be an unpopular opinion: Chesapeake blue crabs is the #1 national seafood dish, and Old Bay is a better condiment that ketchup.

@Mizmazzle rockin it bro! My 33b is slow going so far. How many wear/wash you got there?

@derek111 those are looking good, and again, that fit is perfect.

I would be all about some Stretch 21oz if the measurements were right. I may even go 555 if not 888. especially in black.

@jerkules omg and the nerve to put it on a slice of white bread too....
