        Looks great indeed. If I judge the pictures currectly, the fabric seems rather stiff and rigid? Is the metal loop hole at the back of the pants a bug or a feature

          the sizing on this is more like the SOFT J pant rather than DNAs
          its a little different from the soft j's in the hip area because the cut is different, with the side seam rotated to the back of the pants

          DNA's are coming back this season, but will fit a little looser in the legs/ calf area for bigger guys. I thought I had thick calves, but seems guys out there have thicker calves than I do.........so we have loosen them up some..............should be ready bu the end of this month but everything is running late, so it seems more like sometime in September....................

          Yes, fabric is very stiff, now, but softens are wears really well over time, it works really well in dyeing, with all the salt residue and stuff remaining and giving the pants some interesting character,

          the oxidized metal loop is functional, but there is a covering for it, in regular fabric to give the wearer the option of not showing it...........it can even be removed altogether, for those who just want to keep the regular fabric loop

            I think they should be fine
            I will try on a pair and tell you later
            I have tested them for fit, but haven't laid on my back in them, but I don't think that's something we need to worry about

            whenever I have reasons to lay on my back, I usually don't need clothes anyways...............

                Could be nice in the drop crotch too. I had to let both mine out as much as there was room for through the calf.

                  The DNA is tight around my calf too, not too tight that I'd need to let it out though. If you try them on and they seem too tight, maybe wear them a few times before having the fabric let out, as it does loosen up a bit and may mold into the perfect fit after a few wears. Obviously if it's too too tight, then letting it out is the only option.
                  Just my two cents.

                    well,
                    i thought I had big calves, but seems im more average that big.

                    anyways, we've added about an inch to the circumfrence of the claves for FW11 and SS12 versions.

                    FW version will be available in two fabric choices
                    Spring summer version has a few subtle details that FW doesnt have, but so far only in the painters canvas fabric


                    there will also be some epic goodness coming for the fall.
                    I Got called in to a fabric suppliers warehouse yesterday,
                    he "said you gotta come see this before I show it to anyone else"

                    got some Combat green leather in a texture so gorgeous i almost had an orgasm in the warehouse

                    Blistered lamb leather shirt is coming for fall too
                    Along with Minimalist leather Jacket in a lighter weight than the buffalo version.

                    just don't ask me when everything is gonna be ready

                      But zam, you're gonna keep your patterns for the old dna tialored for those of us who have skinny average calves right? ;)

                      Wish I lived in ny so I could see all those new fabrics.

                        the way the pants are cut, the fit will look no different from the ones you have
                        actually in a way it is an improved fit, It will be the same through the hip and thighs, just will be more comfortable in the Calf area

                        J,
                        as per the fabrics, you don't have to live in NY to see them
                        we have a service where you can request fabric swatch cards, however its only available to US based clients

                        everything will be more organized later this year.

                        we will begin moving sometime this month, and be officially in the New space by Sept 1st

                          Actually I used to be a cyclist, my calves were probably much bigger then.............. i think also for FW11 tailored DNA's will be in a a stretch wool, along with the cotton herringbone version from last season


                          Soft J's will come in a heavy Cotton/ linen blend, along with a lighter weight nubby cotton for those living in more tropical weather during winter months.



                          Actually I should post the official list of what will be available.........will do that when I get a chance

                                we have a lot of french clients who buy directly from us because there is no retail store in France that carry the items or even the stores in Europe don't have the particular item/ size they need


                                i wish we had a store in France carrying the line, but it hasn't happened yet........we will see

                                you can always contact us for whatever you need
