Originally posted by flashoflight View PostIt is extremely likely that I was wearing the boots out of context with the rest of what I had on. The shorts were pretty slim, but not very long. Hit around my knees. I didn't expect them to work, but I was curious to see what they looked like. What I was not expecting though, was them looking as large as they did on my feet haha. I'll get a picture up soon and maybe I can get some opinions based on that.
Thanks guys!
Alt:
So just wondering if they look big on me? Perhaps I just need to be wearing chunkier cargo shorts or maybe generally longer shorts with boots like these?

2 questions:
1: What the hell with sizing. It's a 52. Shoulders and chest are good but I can't bend my arm more than 45 degrees. Which makes it a hassle to put on, to zip, or to take off. Should I expect the leather to stretch enough for it to be wearable?
2: It's squeaky as f*. I move and it squeaks. Any thoughts?
Thanks. I'm slightly upset, as you might have come to realize.
likeaboy: the ones I tried were.
550BC: I've worned L in BBS since 2010 (except for fw11 which was bigger). I'm a 48 (32). I'd say that L for a 46 would be too big. I don't know about anything released this year. I'd ask for the pants measurements so to be sure about this?
2. i have had success getting rid of squeaky leather tumble drying with no heat (or lowest heat if your dryer doesn't have a no heat setting). some people put like tennis balls or something in the dryer with it to knock it around some more
i haven't done it in a while, so i cannot remember if i turned it inside out first

I think cargos + engineers will look like a construction/janitor sort of look (at least that's somewhat how the janitors/housekeeping tends to dress on my campus).

Speaking of, how is their dry cleaning? Anyone on here use them?
I've been happy with basic tailoring jobs I've taken to them but never used their cleaning service. I've got a few coats that are precious to me that have never been cleaned that I should probably get cleaned before storage but don't know who to trust. I guess if someone trusted them with their Julius leather they must do pretty well!

And was it one of you guys that left this with Chris French? Made me want to run away with it

I havent tried their dry cleaning service but I *think* its done onsite which is nice. I gave them my Julius blazer for a small fix which turned out fine. I always get super nervous giving my stuff away for dry cleaning/to a cobbler etc. I felt a little better when I saw that someone had trusted them with a Julius leather.
I did however use the organic dry cleaners on 18th between 7th and 8th because I read that they were good. Gave them a linen KKA coat that came back fine. Had an odd smell to it though but maybe thats how stuff smells after a dry clean haha.
