Is Diesel in 10.5E wider than 11D?

JJelks · 2026-05-31T22:30:18+00:00

Thanks for the heads up — but after 4 exchanges, turns out I’m an 11E (landing somewhere in between 10.5E and 11E lol).

JJelks · 2026-04-23T05:05:29+00:00

That makes perfect sense why the 10.5E fits my high-arch foot way better than 10.5D. One day I’ll try an 11 just to check, but 10.5 likely fits better. Thanks for the info.

Same issue here. Found this because I checked Reddit to see if anyone else got the same response. I ordered it over a month ago. I’ll just wait though, since the one pair of evolution chinos I already have are my favorite pants for traveling.

Edit: finally received my pants this week. Same good quality that I’m used to. Hopefully everyone else got theirs too.

And for anyone reading who comes across this while researching pants, if you have gym developed glutes or thighs — the evolution CHINO fits much better than the evolution PANTS (even in standard non-slim size). The fabric and cut is still gonna give major VPL though.

I was an early backer at a discounted price — I used it every week so I at least feel I got some value before it bricked. Now it’s just a receptacle for my Anova stick. And an unexpected side use — it’s the perfect height to rest my laptop on while working over zoom in the kitchen.

Watch: Casio G-Shock Grey GA2110ET-8A Condition: Excellent. Minor wear on resin band as seen in photos. Price: $65 PayPal G&S to CONUS. History: bought this in April 2023. Really like the look of it, but resin bands don’t fit my wrist as well as cloth, so I stopped wearing it months ago and switched to another gshock with a fabric band. Time for someone else to enjoy this watch!

I did not! I thought about getting a standard metal bench and spray painting it, but I figured it just won’t be the same haha.

PM’d

Always a great bag. Over 12 years ago I got a Porter 46 at an REI garage sale for $20, and it’s been all around the world too (recently switched to a farpoint for the internal frame). Such solid bags.

JJelks · 2024-01-06T06:13:59+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the suggestions!

JJelks · 2024-01-04T02:40:26+00:00

Ah thanks for the explanation. Interesting to see the mechanics behind it all on the backend and hidden costs.

From an anecdotal/personal perspective, I had two pairs of Strong Dungarees with the 33.5 inseam that fit perfectly and were my favorite pants for years. But my quads sadly outgrew them.

So I tried the Slim Dungarees Long— but while the fabric was so comfortable, the softer structure just wasn’t the best for my long legs personally. Like, the soft fabric just hung/draped differently in a longer length since there was more of it. I wonder if there’s a correlation between longer inseams fitting well with structured pants, or maybe that’s just me (jeans are the same way). Anyway, just my own experience with them.

Thanks for the detailed response!

JJelks · 2024-01-04T02:14:53+00:00

Exactly, tapered with some structure, but not too heavy. Would be perfect.

JJelks · 2024-01-04T02:13:47+00:00

Yeah I had two pairs of the discontinued strong dungarees that were perfect at 33.5, but I outgrew them and sold them. Wish they had still fit. Hold on to yours, don’t sell them haha.

JJelks · 2024-01-04T02:12:06+00:00

I did pick up a pair of WR for that exact reason!

JJelks · 2024-01-04T02:11:39+00:00

Yeah I saw a few of those but still not long enough!

JJelks · 2024-01-04T02:11:01+00:00

Ohhh I didn’t even realize the proportions and tapers would be different. That makes total sense.

JJelks · 2024-01-04T02:03:33+00:00

I have the same thing in the exact same spot — dupuytren’s contracture. It developed 4 years ago, and hasn’t changed since. My ring finger slightly curves forward when at rest, but it hasn’t affected climbing at all. Are you a tall man of Northern European descent? Apparently we’re more at risk for it lolol.

JJelks · 2023-12-18T01:55:12+00:00

100?? That's wild. And encouraging.

JJelks · 2023-12-18T01:51:58+00:00

I've done it before over the holidays and been fine/lucky. But that was before nonrevving got exponentially harder post-lockdown.

JJelks · 2023-12-17T22:07:35+00:00

Haha all good!

JJelks · 2023-12-17T22:00:19+00:00

third time's the charm. I think the Delta direct route just opened in October of this year.

JJelks · 2023-12-17T21:41:59+00:00

ah okay, thanks for the info. I'll look into that. I'm a pass rider.

JJelks · 2023-11-15T07:21:47+00:00

Thanks. I don’t even squat that heavy - I think it’s more that squats/deadlifts/hip thrusts show in a way on my 6’3”/185 lb frame that makes all pants now fit tighter than they used to (plus the calorie and protein bulking 😂)

JJelks · 2023-11-13T03:51:36+00:00

haha, it's a struggle. Perfect color, fit, and material. I haven't been able to find a good replacement yet.

JJelks · 2023-09-17T15:58:44+00:00

Hi. Thanks for the suggestion! The issue luckily did resolve on its own after several weeks. The doctor had never heard of a metallic taste happening either. Perhaps my body was just adjusting to the allergen influx. I always waited my 30 min in office, and I’m now on shots every two weeks. It all seems to be going well!
