i have a few pairs of jeans made with cone denim and clint is right….they take a long time to fade.  my first gen lvc 47's took years but now theyre beaten all to hell.  the crotch blew out last week though....so theyre dead.

@Shoreman:

^ Great look, el.

Alright, so I am committed to grabbing a pair of RS2s, but am a bit uncertain as to how to size these guys. I wear a 31 in the IHXB01 and the fit is spot-on. I messaged kiya with respect to the fit of the RS2s and he said that the 30 would likely be my best bet as the B01 is made smaller. However, with that in mind, there are a lot of similarities between the B01 and the SG2105 size 29–as per SEs measurements--and the latter proved to be too small, even with an intense break-in period. I'll have to hem these prior to having them shipped out, due to the intense nature of the inseam, and as such will not be able to return them if they don't fit.

Can anyone provide some insight? All input will be appreciated.

I would go true to size shoreman..

or down 1 if you want to stretch them..

The RN1 is nice, but I don't wear them too often.  I didn't get them hemmed, and they still have a 37.25" inseam after plenty of soaking.  My usual inseam is on 32

@elclintor:

The cone denim fades really slow..

So, I received my Ducks and RSIIs and I have to say, after dealing with solely IH for the last several months, these ducks seem paper-thin. I'm seriously concerned I am going to rip them apart one day if I happen to mindlessly undo the buttons too quickly. At least, that's my initial reaction. I'll pop back in with an update after they've been worn a couple of times.

fit is effin perfect…no matter how thick/thin these are

[Guest]

Yeah, even I was surprised when I tried them on. I bought them fully expecting them to be on the loose side, given the waist measuring 32. But, the low rise makes up for it. Granted, they're a bit slim, but paired with an equally slim shirt, light-weight shirt and these will make for perfect summer pants.

Thanks for the kind words, Finn.

I dig the colour it's just a shade darker than your everyday duck.

My ducks could beat up yours…

16oz vs. 11.25oz? No doubt.

[Seul]

Just pulling your duckie. Not a fit I'd like but it looks brilliant on you!..

[Guest]

2nd hot soak in hopes of getting, at the very least, .5-1 inch off the inseam.

[Guest]

Could have chopped another inch off the inseam, but this'll do. I'm happy with the fit, but the denim itself is going to take some time getting used to. (21oz is a heluva drug.)

[elclintor]

Nice fit!

Are those the RS-2's?

[Guest]

Yes, good sir, they are.

(And thank you.)

[elclintor]

Cool, hope they fade faster than the cone denim…. Mine are sloooooooooooww fading...

[Guest]

I'm not a denim-head like that. I don't really care how these fade, so long as they hold up.
