I found these jeans earlier last month at Wasteland on Melrose. They were tagged as having a 32 inch waist, so I kind of dismissed them as too small. I went home and did a little research on the label and ran across this article.

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!!!

I've got a pair of those. They run a little slim through the hips, but stretch out after some wear. They also have hickory stripe too (same fit). You'll want to order them here:

Good to hear about the fit, are they high or low wasted?

I chose the link for the photo, but www.Pointerbrand.com is wonderful to deal with, I've got some overalls and a chore jacket from them a few years ago.


I'd say they are a "normal" fit in the waist (neither high nor low). I have a couple of the chore coats too.

plaid shirt

I've got a cuple of cracking brushed cotton plaid shirts from Boden here in the UK and I'm looking for some decent plaid flannel shirts for the Autumn. Last year I got a few LL Bean flannel shirts, but the large is just a little too big and the medium is too small. Any suggestions - apart from losing weight?

BTW there are a couple of the J Crew chambray chinstrap shirts on eBay right now if you poke around....

Yep, that seller has sold a few of them recently. And guess which size has gotten the highest number of bids? Size SMALL. Wanna bet that those shirts are going to Japan? Even with shipping fees, it's a good deal for Japanese buyers.
