Oh. Put on a little weight I see. Good weight. Thighs are getting bigger from squatting. This becomes an issue when you're a denimhead though because you realize that your options start to become more and more limited if your waist doesn't grow with your thighs. True, I'm planning on slimming down a bit. Currently at 235. Would like to drop down to 200 flat. |

Or you belt the shit out of the waist and get some weird belt line fades.

Railcar will rebuild anything you want. If you pay them. And if they're under 20oz. Ciano will do heavier, at a leisurely pace.

And it's 55 bucks, I was mistaken. Honestly worth it though if it's otherwise a beloved pair.

There must be a denim repair/alteration shop in somewhere in NYC. There's one in Chicago, Twin Cities, several in CA. Surely the capital of the world has one. |

davelewis I'm posting this in the proper thread as to not derail the IH thread more than I have already Just received my Left Field Greasers today in the 13oz Cone and I'm very pleased. The Greaser fit works great for me and I highly recommend it for those who have what seems to be larger than "average" thighs and want a little more rise than most slim fits on the market today. They fit exactly how I wanted and expected them to. They are similar to a Railcar Spike fit IMO but with a larger hem. Very comfortable, good room in the thighs, good room in the top block for the boys, and I can sit down in them and be comfortable which the lighter weight fabric also helps with. Construction appears to be solid and the red bandana pocket bags are very nice touch. Overall I am very happy with these and will be buying more Greasers. Left Field has impressed me with my first purchase. Love the look of the classic cone denim in this particular cut, very classic Americana IMO.

I also just noticed that they seem to have restocked the 18oz fabric in the Greaser cut so now my size is available. Might have to pick a pair of those up too.

I was considering the Greaser fit until I tried on the Chelsea fit. I prefer the slimmer Tapered fit since my legs are tiny, but my thighs aren't to big so the fit is good. |

Do all Left Field jeans come with the red bandana pocket bags? I really love that detail and although you can only see it when you're taking your pants off or taking a leak ...it looks great. |
