When I went back to Wasteland I noticed they were still there so I bought these two pairs for around $70 each. I was planning on reselling them on ebay, but when I tried them on, they fit!
The fit of the white stiched USN style jeans is great; with a full cut thigh and knee and the waist stops just below my navel. The herringbone bucklebacks have a shorter rise (similar to a modern 501) but are pretty much identical fit-wise.
They had more on the racks, mostly these sans suspenders:
Jesus, those Stronghold jeans are usually $250+!!! You got a bargain on a pair of hand made denim pants!!!
