#86... wish i had taken better pictures. jeans seem to get muted after wash.
wouldn't matter much compared to the other fantastic wears, but i wish i got the beauty of the denim. probably would have been better if i wore out the creases a little more.

anyway, i went ahead and gave these to my brother to wear and they fit him perfectly. i wish i got these true to size instead of size down one. i will never size down one again.

[will post pics of brother's fit soon]
