Did Wils/MiddleAge teach you nothing?! Tailors are clearly of the brimstone and hellfire variety. To Railcar (or AB Fits) with you! I don't think tailors were the problem in Wils' case. |

I must say, it's pretty irritating that I'll have to fix something that's brand new.

Tailoring and hot washing was just another means to destroy and debase the workshirts. I thought this was pretty well documented. |

Much like every dead 27 year old rocker would just find another way to check out if they didn't have smack. Speaking from experience of a dumb rock star. |

whiskeyriver - I'd go try to find some close-to-matching thread at a sewing store and get out the needle, but I haven't been able to figure out yet if that makes me weird. Also, reach out to who you bought it from with the pictures, they might surprise you with something agreeable.

It sucks, but crying about it will get you nowhere. Also, reach out to who you bought it from with the pictures, they might surprise you with something agreeable. Yeah..........I don't sew. And it's my party and I'll cry if I want to, dammit! Haha. Yeah, already emailed Klaxon on Rakuten. We'll see! |

I couldn't account for why I was being a dick so I took it out.  |

I'm look at this noise. OOF.    Damn ! I'm hoping I don't have this to look forward to. I've got just over 20 wears in mine. I've been hearing the seams stretching a bit. But, so far, no failures. What did you do for the initial soak ? I left mine in the tub a bit longer, to soften them up. Edit: Although, I will say, even with the longer soak, they are still quite rigid. |

If not it looks like some weak thread that they use. |

The knees and calves are but the thighs fit me great. I have just been wearing them around the house and to the store and on other little errands. That's it. Very weak thread. |

I'm looking to buy a pair of 2109s in one wash within the week. Survey says they come in smaller than Self Edge's specs?

People were saying the unwashed were coming in at the one wash measurements. So will one wash be even smaller, meaning I have to go up a size that doesn't exist (35). |

Awesome! In my mind, that guy runs $100's through a juicer and rubs the oil on his beard.

Knee was .6" under. I'd say order according to your normal size. Just be prepared for a tightly wrapped knee. They are a tough break-in, as well. I've got a good 25-30 wears, and they really haven't softened a great deal. But, they do feel as though they are giving in a bit. I think, when they soften completely, that knee will give up some more room. |

I tried to stay out of this thread as much as I can. But I can't. I really want ONI 20oz before TSG but I can see it happening. Fits don't seem like the best for me.
