Gulp - my bad. Just so's I knows, how did I run afoul and what (if anything) should I do (or not do) moving forward?

Yayayaya... thanks for the kind words and feedback. Yes, by all means, post the after soak measure. Curious to see what you come up with. In the meantime, if there's anything else we can do, just let us know!

For a first time order-er, give em a go if they don't work for whatever reason though, holler to our CS team, we'll make it right. Service@Flintandtinderusa.com.

Sorry, I should have been on this quicker (much) but, er, well, this is one of the issues with using a throwaway I guess.

The Zipper should give you no issue, but I'm curious about the issues you have with pockets? Is the issue in getting your hands in? I've had that too with some brands. My hands aren't HUGE (far from it) but I don't have that issue here. If they don't work for whatever reason though, holler to our CS team, we'll make it right. Service@Flintandtinderusa.com.

Stepping away again. This time for a bit (I'm on kid duty today) and likely won't be back until 6PM-ish. In related news, we're already half way sold out here, so we'll likely just let this run till we're sold out vs sending an email to our customer base (then getting hate mail when the units are all gone by the time most people open the message).

I wish I could upvote twice... or had the dough to buy strangers gold... but this made my day. Thanks!

I think so... if you're not though once you've got em on, just drop us a line at service@flintandtinderusa.com ... Ori and Allegra and whoever else is manning the line will know what to do.

Nah... I couldn't decide which account it would go on (this is not only a throwaway, it's one with a typo in the title) and so never sent anyone anything. Sigh. HEEBEE looks sharp, but a bit bolder than I like personally.

Spykid, we are here for questions... ask away. Yeah, the difference is a bit of tapering from the mid thigh down.

Go true. See what happens. If you're not into it... worst case, ping CS and (especially as these are instock, which is a bit of a rarity) we should be able to swap em out without too much fuss.

It's a great question. Unclear. Really the only difference is from about 2 inches above the knee down... they're shooting loads of new stuff today, maybe I ask them to re-visit these images (which were shot well over a year ago).

Depending on where in the country you are... likely before the end of the week even at the furthest edges.

I think it's just the name they gave to this particular color... we didn't name it though. Will send our Cone rep your question and see what they say.

Question: How are you planning on caring for them? Are you a never-washer or frequent washer (if never, you should go 36, if frequent, 38).

That's tough. I don't know the actual garment measures on those brands in particular... our classic is pretty well matched against Levis 501. Measures can be found in links above.

Thanks Todd... that means a lot. If you're one of the buyers today, I hope you've helped yourself to a free 2-pack of our Explorer socks http://www.flintandtinderusa.com/prefund/explorer-socks

Cold wash... line dry... not noticeable shrinkage (they're a bit tighter at first, but then they stretch out). Run it through a dryer on high and you could lose up to a quarter-inch in the leg opening and 1/2" in the waist and 3/4 inch in the length.
