I've just spent the last hour reading these tributes and looking through Mike's posts. My contributions to the forum have been so minimal but Mike's presence and personality here is so representative/definitive of the spirit of this community and what keeps me looking in on the occasions that I do.

There have been some real hits to communities like this lately - Ben from SOP's accident, and pulpdenim on IG suddenly losing his wife… sad stuff, but it all connects in my head right now.

But in keeping the focus on Mike - it's just not going to be the same without him. Here's to Filthy, and the love and goodwill that he fostered on here.

i thought IH & stubbornites were generally in favour of wider hems?
all this "hem-too-wide" talk is bugging me (says the newcomer to the haraki-san deities and the like…)
my wish list item is still navy/indigo whipcord 816s, a nice 11" rise like these greys (or even a tad more), and the hem at 8.5. i'd rotate those at work with my navy duck 816s and navy loggers.

these photos are all awesome. thanks, and my wallet hates you guys.

if anything i'd hope for a higher rise and a bit more room through the leg. a bit. i love my navy duck 816s but i don't like how easy it is for the top of my underpants to peep out. maybe just because i'm pretty thin, and a little taller than average.

thanks for the thoughts, all. upcoming possible maybe navy sounds perfect, but it also sounds like i need to buy an olive just to make it happen. on top of that, the organically grown marketing team of everyone posting photos with their OLVs is a force to be reckoned with.

was considering getting a pair and indigo dyeing so i can wear them to work.
thoughts?

…why would you want to? There are some duck 816's that would do better indigo dyed.

because i want indigo whipcord.
