Before Old26 starts chiming in and telling us to stay on topic; everyone, thank you for all your motivating words. I am definitely determined to stick with chemistry. I graduated 2013 and ever since been trying to find a entry position that I like. I either don't have enough industry experience or I am not suitable for a position. A lot of these positions require a B.S with 3-5 years of experience which is practically impossible for a recent grad. A lot of my friends were in the same position and they either went to graduate school or settle for a less deserving job. I know once I get my M.S. and Ph.D., a lot more doors will open up for me. With that, lets get back on topic and talk about LD products I am glad that you ara determined. My brother is a PHD in robotic and I watched him gone through the program and it wasn't easy. However, he was like you that he loved research and enjoyed the whole time in the program. His career started out really rough (including selling refrigerator at Sears in Pleasanton) but now he is a senior manager at a top tech company. Just be careful about the student loan. Good luck and hang in there. Sallie Mae is literally drowning me. I just so happened to go to state school (SJSU) while the education budget cuts. My final year cost double than what I paid my first year. So you can imagine how much Sallie Mae is holding me by the dick Staying off topic, I went to a public university, JMU, and got a full ride from scholarships and grants. Fafsa hooked me up big time. Have you tried that? |

Just got this shirt ordered from the old site on Oct 17th. The size is all off the XL measurements but with a custom shoulder tweak. I love the length, scoops and everything about it. Feels good man   |

Thanks Dirty_Denim. I just checked out the ebay store of BARSONY. They sell several thousand gun holsters and a couple of belts. The belt is quite reasonably priced and seems to be made out of solid (9-10oz cowhide) leather. |

The belt is quite reasonably priced and seems to be made out of solid (9-10oz cowhide) leather. Yes it will surprise you if you end up getting it. I bought the natural leather and watched it progress to this amazing color. The buckle is the only thing that is pretty bad. The other thing is he uses snaps instead of screws but its not that bad. The leather is the winner with this which he also burnishes the edges. Iv bought 3 belts from him over the years but he is known for his holsters apprarently Natural leather |

It's quite nice how the belt has aged. I don't quite understand why some belt makers would use excellent leather but put crappy buckles and / or not use removable screws. It's not a substantial part of the value of the belt but it adds to the perfection of it.

This. I hope my Lawless stuff fits that well.b I'll turn some damn backflips. Thanks. Patient is needed on LD purchase. I think I'm up for it. I haven't joined the Greek chorus of "where's my order!" just yet. To wit, I knew what I was signing up for when I placed my order(s). |

I got a natural belt from LD as a partial shipment from a newer order.
The belt is extremely thick and substantial, its almost like a gunbelt! (really its insane)
The leather feels very premium.
I got the wrong size tho, my own fault, I just ordered my waistsize but forget my waist over the jeans is actually closer to 4" more then the jeans-tag!!
So I will return it and hope to get a replacement, but hasnt been in a hurry to do it.
I recommend this belt.

  Guy I don't think a review is even necessary. Combine these excellent fit pics with all of the positive words from other people's reviews. I have NO complaints about the quality of these shirts, period. Easily can be a $120 garment in the current denim market.     Now that I've held some Lawless denim in my hands, this will be my go-to brand of choice for no nonsense, good-looking, MiUSA clothing. I'll be wearing the tan shirt from my fit pics tomorrow to check out the practicality of the fit as an actual WORKSHIRT Extremely anxious to receive my leather jacket next. |

@untucked, out of curiosity, what size are your LD workshirts?
And what size do you typically wear in Iron Heart shirts?

nice shirts. are the sleeves intentionally long? I don't think they are "long". They are the correct length that i can have them buttoned and reach over my head without worries of the shirt pulling. But, as far as it being intentional, yes. I picked med slim from the fit guide and didn't burden the LD team with any alterations |

It's not a substantial part of the value of the belt but it adds to the perfection of it. Maruder, if you're not a fan of removable screws and such, check out Equus Leather out of the UK. Hand sewn, unique leathers, and many buckle options. I'm a huge belt guy, and these are the best. At the price, they are a steal. Check out out the Bakers of Colyton line. By far my favorite. If you like forming a patina in your leather, the Russet can't be beat. Also, the tanning process is pretty impressive. This is leather many many years in the making. On the side, I hope this is cool to post. I don't want to steal LD's thunder. As a first post, I was hesitant, but I'm an Equus nut. With six pending orders with LD, I think I'm also a LD nut. Can't wait for my denim jeans and Nevada shirt! cheers |

@untucked can you give the names of the fabrics? Especially the indigo one really caught my eye.

I saw your later reply about the sleeves, so I am not going to point out the obvious. I still owe people my fit pictures of my shirts and just don't have a chance to wear it out yet. It is also Slim medium and fit very similar to yours. |

Fit pictures of my Lawless slim taper chino in 12 OZ. CANDIANI HERRINGBONE BROWN WEFT (aka. Gustin Postal Herringbone). My legs are short, so this style of pants are not necessary the most idea for my body type. Please just pay attention to the fit. (I don't like wear high waist pant with the length cut right on the top of my shoes.) Anyway, I wear them the first time today and feel the fabric is heavier than 12oz. I already got two compliments from people in the office... except I don't suppose to wear jeans/work boots to work on Monday. (hiding)   |

They look good. Could pass as a dress pant...maybe. They look dark but pretty sure it's the light.

Hey, @untucked.. just a headsup about the tan/tan.. it's an absolutely beautiful fabric (actually wearing the pants today) but gets dirty pretty easily. Wabisabi potential, I guess  |
