I ordered one on the 15th, and it was delivered today. it is about as well made as you could wish for. Rock solid heavy denim. Heavier than Levi's 501's used to be. 13 pockets, and dead on as to size. Someone else said his was 25" long, but mine came in at 23 7/8", and it shrank a quarter inch to 23 5/8" when I washed it (cold water). Before tossing it in the machine I took a black Sharpie and got rid of the white stitching. Why they used white thread is beyond me, but with it blacked out I think it looks fine. I was also a little surprised to note the place of manufacture. Not Sweden: Viet Nam.
On the whole I am very pleased with it, and sure to get more pleased when it softens up some more. Pictures to follow.
