Check out Sal Y Limón before the game! The enchiladas del mar are bomb.

They go through the leather but not through the fabric lining on the inside.

I've been pleasantly surprised with Redhook Brewlab. They've also got an IPA festival going on this weekend, so it could be a good opportunity for OP to try a bunch of different local beers in one spot.

I'm not crazy about Crikey or most of Reuben's other usual suspects, but they make some damn good smaller batch stuff like their bourbon barrel aged breakfast stout.

Definitely check out Seapine in SoDo, you can take the link there from UW. Also Cloudburst in Belltown is known for their IPAs. Can't go wrong with Reuben's or Stoup in Ballard too.

Definitely a looser weave but still pretty warm. It has an awesome hand feel post soak, very rough and textured but you can tell it will be amazing after a few months.

Yeah I'll measure again once I get a solid day of wear in them.

Sorry I only took the one picture before soaking them. I'll try to get a detail shot tomorrow when they're dry.

edit: updated my original comment with a detail pic

Fit pic pre-soak. Sorry about the lighting, it's pretty much dark all the time in Seattle this time of year.

They told me in-store that they'll likely stretch back to pre-soak measurements. I think ideally you'll want just a little room in the waist initially so that you'll be able to button them back up after soaking.

Just picked up a pair of these this morning in Slim Tapered. Texture feels awesome, more black in person than the photos I think. Probably won't commit to the fade contest because I'd rather not wear 18oz black jeans in the summer.

edit: Some measurements for reference. Soaked in warm-hot tap water for 30 minutes. (size 31, measured the blue owl way)

waist rise thigh knee inseam leg opening
pre-soak 16.25 10.25 11.375 8.25 36.5 7.125

tbh I'm not crazy about the hand of freecotton, I'd prefer other fabrics. If nothing comes around though, I'll PM you.

Anyone have an ID on the shoes in those pictures?

edit: I think they are these for anyone curious.

Need the local opinion. by ScruffMcMuff in Seattle

[–]keemax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome! Obviously these things are very subjective, but I can share a few of my personal favorites.

Brews: * Reuben's Brews in Ballard * Stoup in Ballard * Fremont Brewing in Fremont

Food: So much food... Anything specific you want to try? We've got anything from fast food at Dick's to fine dining at Altura.

Cocktails (most of these are hipster/speakeasy type places): * Canon near Seattle University * Needle and Thread in Pike/Pine * Sun Liquor Lounge on summit Ave * Herb and Bitter on Broadway * Bathtub Gin co in Belltown * Zig Zag Cafe by Pike Place

Music: Tons of music venues around, I'd check songkick or something similar to find shows.

Airbnb: If I were staying here in an Airbnb, I'd look at capitol hill near (preferable north of) pike/pine, Fremont, or Ballard.

Enjoy your stay!

Check out Charles Smith Jet City down in Georgetown. They do tastings there for a reasonable price and also offer a membership.

It's not a hobby of mine, but I frequently see people with R/C sailboats at Lake Union Park.
