They've been running 34" inseam usually a week later.
I got my plastic pants last week, thanks Ickes, they're awesome! F&T barely mentioned that they're lightly waterproof, but I found that out on a long walk with the dog. Couldn't be happier with the Tough Pants, hopefully they offer a few more colors.
I did grab a few pairs of the $35 chinos, they're not plastic and I think the fit is a little relaxed, but hey, $35.

I ordered the naturals in 34" inseam when they came around. If they do the olives... I might as well order them and then cancel the LD olives I ordered.

I'm digging this Crisp Slate shirt fabric, I think. Kinda hard to tell if it's a little bit reddish, brownish, purplish, or what. I tend to go for colors like that, where you can't quite tell if it's this or that or something in between. It'd be nice if F&T gave you some more info on the weight and stuff, though. Also, much like the recent TS selvage chambray jacks, this shirt has a slightly odd combination of design elements. Button-down collar, buttoned pocket (but only one), and side gussets. I'd say lose the buttons on the collar and add a second pocket OR lose the gussets and the button on the pocket. Good to go either way. As is, I'd worry that I'll end up with a shirt that I never reach for in the closet because it's not nice enough to wear to the office and too nice to wear for weekend chores.   |

Aaaand the slim version of the olives didn't make it. But they let me switch over to the classic cut, so there's that.

I don't remember what size I ordered, but they fit just fine. |

I picked up the Cone 1968s, the denim isn't anything spectacular but a great value at $35 with a couple free pairs of socks, which are also pretty great (good at keeping feet cool, which is good unless it's cold). The 32 slim jeans fit pretty much exactly like the 33 slim from Gustin, so that's good news, and I'm happy to be less 2" on the inseam. Two things I wish F&T did with their jeans: chain-stitch the hem, and waist-band tucked belt loops. The rest of the construction is there, and they're starting to become the most affordable made in USA brand that can reliably deliver. Let me know if you guys want pictures.
Oh and good job USPS beating the memorial day holiday and getting them here today and not forcing me to wait til Tuesday (the horror!)

I ordered the Naturals from F&T, and I have to give them kudos for their CS. My pair apparently has a stain on it (back of waistband down towards the pockets). Not only did they pull it from shipping in QC, but they sent me a picture of the offending stain and ask if I still wanted them (with a 50% refund) or a full refund.
That's good service. I'll post pics when Fedex makes it here with them.

So they arrived today. Stain was exactly as advertised, so I tossed them into the washer on hot (hey, no dye bleed to worry about, let's get this stain busted!). First up, picture they sent me (resizinated for your viewing pleasure):  My own of said stain, prior to The Washening:  Stain, busted (also patch, busted):  Crappy measurements, pre/post: Waist: 17.75"/17.25" Thigh: 12.5-ish"/12.25-ish" Knee: 9"/8.5" Cuff: 8"/7.75" Inseam: 34"/33.75" |

grabbed some of the ks1-sport trunk briefs - the 7 for 70 deal. didn't realize they had the fly though and they're quite a bit thicker than i was expecting for a "sport" brief. washing now to give 'em a shot though since they're spoken so highly of.
would i have been better off going with the heritage?

I looked into them last year when they were brought up here but wasn't a fan of their marketing/branding. Ha. So that stuff does work/matter.
Wearing the F&Ts yesterday, I was surprised that they did become invisible...didn't notice them one bit. I'm coming from BOSS cyclist trunks which are comfy and thin but they tend to ride up the legs at times and as thick as the F&Ts are, they stayed put and I didn't notice them once throughout the night. Not 100% sold yet but they're closer to what I was expecting!

I have the meundies and just received my flint and tinders. I love the meundies but have to say the F&T's are excellent as well. Much like the meundies, I don't feel as though I'm wearing them

I'm thinking of staring my own company for underwear and calling it Twig and Berries. What do you think?  |

How does their sizing run compared to Gs? They say to actually measure the part of your waist where the jeans sit.

marauder - I think they have a fit guide, but I don't think it helps. 32 is a 34 by G standards, 34 is somewhere around a 36. I'm not sure exactly because I've never had G's that big. You definitely get some vanity sizing. A 32 slim F&T is a tiny bit roomier through the calves than the Gustin 33 slim. I wear a 33/34 slim in Gustin (though I'm toying with the idea of *gasp* having a pair I can wash, so I'm checking out the 35 slim here pretty soon), and the F&T 32 came in right where I need it. Also, Flint and Tinder made their start on Kickstarter, but is one of the few that turned it into a non-crowd-funded business, and now they're working their way back to it. The sizing part of it just makes sense, which I'm sure they see any time they have to offer clearance on 28 waist.
