Cover your shame!

Bend over, buddy.

Hail to the king.

The thing with tailored jeans that is not necessarily the same for all types of pants is the hem. Since they are sewn and then "aged" (stone washed etc), a pair of jeans that have had their length shortened does not have the worn, slightly discolored, rumply 1/2 or so at the hem. Their leg openings look like those of any other pair of pants. At one time, many of the seconds sold at outlets were long, less commonly purchased lengths that had been cut/sewn to 30 or 32 inch length, and nearly everyone (employees and customers alike) noticed the difference immediately.

Now if you (or someone on your behalf) transplanted the original hem, it may look better; I've never seen a pair of jeans altered in such a way, so I can't really say, but the straight forward "cut, fold, sew" applied to jeans makes the hem look...let's call it "different."

I've never heard of 507s, though I'm surprised to hear that they are slimmer cut than 517s. I thought the 51x designation was for slim-cut jeans. 512s are slim and tapered. Many an employee bet was made with the loser having to wear a pair for an entire shift.

Still, glad you were able to find some.

Also: Thanks for the converse link. I've looked there before (last 2 months or so), and it seems one stars are discontinued. You can get leather ones for something like a million dollars :\ Gonna check it out again right now, though. Well, no one stars, but I can custom make a pair that are similar (no rubber toe cap like one stars had) for $70, which is a bit spendy for converse. However, I can make them black and orange: the greatest color combo ever.

Levi's makes 28x32s. In fact, all major jeans companies do. Now whether retailers carry them is another story. I worked for Levi's for a few years, and I wore (past tense) 28x30s or 28x32s during that time.

The Gap Brands also make those sizes, though the cut might be a little more tricky.

The Levi's series number you're after is 517, though I see from a quick Internet search that 29x32 is as skinny as they go. (Check www.levi.com for that; Penny's also sells that size)

I'd check western wear stores and possibly well-stocked used clothing retailers. If you have anything like Buffalo Exchange near you, they tend to keep good quality used jeans on hand. Another option is Ebay. There is one other possible solution that I hesitate to offer because I have received the same "advice" in stores and always got pretty pissed off about it: Kids size 16 or 18 *should* be about right in the waist, though kids' cuts tend to be high waisted.

Good luck; I feel your pain.

On a related note, if anyone knows where to get suede Converse One Stars, preferably in black/black I'd be eternally grateful. Mine are pushing 5 years old and are "starting" to smell a "little."

who the hell are you?

Cho's milkshake, etc.

I'm gonna go ahead and make this my "good bye" thread. I'll be playing WoW and trying to figure out wtf cyclone is.

doom.

That's worth at least a dime and two and a half pennies, but not the whole quarter. The only thing different in the quote I left was "elmos" instead of "wizards." It's reasonably obscure--reasonably--but I'd not be surprised if some friend of bob(s) got it. Also: I ran it through yahoo in a few ways and got two hits.

Do not meddle in the affairs of Elmos; it makes them soggy and difficult to light.

(shiny quarter for identifying the source)

You can have--or at least share--mine. It sucks lately. Too busy...way too busy. :\

Oh, yeah. after *actually* reading the posts, I see we're talking about general site security for sharing login info for the PL services. On that topic, Uber seemed to sum it up pretty well.

The one or two sites I've seen did use PayPal for payment purposes, which is actually a pretty safe way to manage things, so long as you don't get your PayPal info swiped. (and no, I didn't *buy* anything, but after months of tells back in i9, I had to at least look at the sites.)

They use paypal...I've heard...

you win teh forumz. (i tried to get the whole thing in here, but failed)

it's always a good idea to blame mac extra.

mac's the new con? the spawn of con? Where's that ragequit thread? I'm outta here.

fixt

it's as big as ... well, Texas. (also, quoting the sprawling post is probably far, far more annoying.)

I blame Mac.
