    At the risk of veering wildly off topic, I concur. I love my Origin Gi (awful bloody nose rolling in a white gi, came right out in the wash!) and really pleased with their jeans as well.

    Thanks for the heads up on Origin Maine. I am planning on buying a few pair of jeans. It is great to have more American-made clothing options. It is also possible that some of the cotton used was grown in the fields I can see from my home.

    I think "standard american sizing" is code for "smaller sizes than you actually measure out to be because you're fat but vanity and we're not going to tell you that."
    And while we're ranting, I hate places that think 6' is a "tall". Screw those guys.
    Fortunately, several premium outdoor brands have GTG sizing tables. Cut may vary a little, but they're better overall.

    I too am interested. Maybe they make jeans for big guys with a long stride and without the damn low waist.

    Just now saw that waist size 40 is biggest offered. I need larger. No go.

    Getting back to the corona virus...it appears there is an info lock-down, possibly by our own government. All the MSM, news agencies and websites are totally ignoring this subject are are frenzied over dem debates and caucuses. Like anybody gives shiff. Seems like a diversion.

    More likely one topic is more profitable than the other at a given time. The information and reporting on Coronavirus is still there and being updated several times a day, it's just not front page.

    That isn't "an info lockdown."

    Good to hear.

    I guess I just haven't stumbled upon those official, credible and informative daily updates.

    Might be good for it to start creeping on to the front page, at least below the "fold".

    Addendum - what I do find is virus threads packed with 3 week-old numbers from china picked up and repeated by our own "official sources", homemade remedies sure to kill, rumors and jean sizes.

    If this isn't a serious subject, why not just lock the thread?
