I worked at the Gap through college. They didn’t sell selvedge at my store, not sure they were doing it in the 90s, but my Gap jeans weren’t bad at all back then. I bought a Beastie Boys tee there a month ago and had to return it cuz the fit was awful and the sleeve hem came undone immediately.

Oh for sure...they make garbage now. My pair is at least 20 yrs old. Selvedge denim...Japan I believe...and chain stitched.

Got them last week and have them on right now. I'm absolutely in love with them. They have a little more room in the thigh than I anticipated but that is a good thing for me. The 21oz 888's are definitely on my radar now. lol I'm hoping for a restock before Christmas.

These fit exactly like I was hoping. Sized up on these to get more room all around.

My favorite part about these jeans are the beige weft. I Finally lost weight to be able to fit into my recent Jeans purchase. 60 pounds down and I am celebrating by buying clothes that are a damn near to fit on my weird shaped body.

Looking good @Deonte1719 I’m trying to live vicariously through everyone here. Definitely want to pick a pair of these up way down the line. The 18oz will be my first stop on my way down from the heavyweights. Keep posting your progress man. Congrats on the weight loss.

@Deonte1719 I find that a collection of well fitted clothes is the best inspiration to maintain a healthy body weight over the years... at least that's what I tell myself when I'm trying to justify new purchases!

[Deonte1719]

@T4920 your thought process is the exact same as mine. Even down to the guilty pleasure of losing weight but collecting expensive pieces to justify it! ‍‍‍

My weight fluctuates through the year, but when my Kersey Western starts to feel a little tight, I know it's time to start running again

@T4920 funny you should say this, in this thread, because my 17oz (555s) not fitting, pushed me over the edge to lose weight
