But in spite of not ever being in a fraternity, I typically go with a 6" inseam.

I ended up getting a selvedge pair for about $40 over the holiday. I would have never paid the $150 they were originally asking though. I guess at the end of the day there's no reason to have a top quality denim if they look like crap on you.Nicholashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09436879775356932574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895647038898538515.post-13548028275088825042010-01-29T12:23:07.186-05:002010-01-29T12:23:07.186-05:00I'm on the larger side - big shoulders, big be...I'm on the larger side - big shoulders, big belly, and I like the J.Crew shirts in...large.
