Why is it graceless?

I don't see anything wrong with the pants. If they last 10yrs they represent good value.

You need to make your wife works visible.
🙂 I think you misunderstand, I'm hoping she'll buy some trousers. She is very scary at what she does but it isn't marketing. I've got some friends who have tried to get a small clothes manufacturing thing going and they do okay but Brant's skilz are awesome

I thought (misread) leffeboy was needing some ideas with his start up so gave him some ideas.

I just want to see more successful businesses that's all and if I can help why not eh.

Yes, he has all the skills because he has been selling stuff for many years now so naturally he is good at it.

The pair I got from the original kickstarter are quite simply the best trousers I have ever owned; and they are getting better.

@Inbred456 - re the waist and thigh issue. I'm exactly the same as you and, as brant says, a 36" HebTroCo waist is bang on.

grey pair of 177s here - very comfortable, really well made. My only preference for a fit revision, would be a little more room in the front, as i find the pockets only useful for a car key or small change. And id prefer a good inch and a half off the height of the waist band.

Custom fit trousers for the future!?!?!

I'll measure up the waist of my bestest fit jeans and see what they really are. I really like the look of the 177's.

Yup the skinny part has me wondering on the fit, I wear casual fit jeans and these look a similar style?
Too baggy and I look even Skinner, too slim cut and I look ridiculous.

Your Facebook review suggests you like them. Cheers.

Brant, they fit perfectly waist, leg the lot. Lovely cut, comfy and well made.

I had my doubts I must admit but there was no need what so ever. I'll be looking at ordering some more at a later date.

Go on then, I'll be that person. Isn't this all a bit advertisy now?

HebTroCo is well past kickstarter, getting established, doing well and knocking out near full capacity by all accounts - all wonderful.

Just seems at odds with da rulez around these parts for normo members 🙂 .

Maybe they could become a Trusted Partner or something.

Responding to a post is not against the rules.

If Brant or Ed were to start a thread about their trousers then it would deleted.

Locked because it got abusive and there was much speculation without any knowledge of the facts.

I suspect that this will go the same way.

If it got abusive, fair enough (lock it) but why delete it ?

Speculation ?

So what! it's a chat forum.
People on here the other day speculating about how and why people were burned to death in their flats, and that was ok.

Why is speculating about the location of a trouser factory not allowed ffs 😯

Don't think it was trolling as such, more that people were expressing opinion about something that may not have been strictly true so had the chance of getting sticky legally.
