What aren't you happy with? They look pretty damn good from here…

Nah I hate it how stuff looks when it comes outta the machine… I wore them yesterday, and now they look really, REALLY good... I should've taken pics after a couple days of wear...

LN: your jeans are simply amazing! at 3 months, you must have thrashed them real hard. great job!

If you don't mind me asking - how do you get your jeans looking like that? You do some kind of manual labour for a living?

I know people say "wear your jeans hard" but this takes it to a new level!

[Seul]

I've been working hard in mine for 5 months - how LN got them to look like that in 3 months boggles the mind!..

@Licorice:

Heres a few photos at about 3 and a half months.

I am seriously in love with these.  Amazing job

was thinking the same. construction site came to mind but I didn't ask in my previous post cos some might find it sensitive in talking about their job and etc.

anyway the other 2 that he was selling looked fantastic. not sure if it's sold or not but those deserve a frame to display it at full glory imho.

I'm a maintenance man at a 250 unit apartment complex. It's on like 10 acres and we have to walk everywhere. Between landscaping, drywall, painting and work orders, They get pretty beat.

Well keep walking because ur whiskers are beautifully done.  The color that is coming out of those is amazing

[crankyfart]

yeah and the creases behind the knee are looking gorgeous!! hope mine would turn out like your.

it's still 0 wash right?

[Licorice Noose]

Yeah, no wash, no soak. They don't feel like they need either so i'm gonna hold out for a while.

[Dirty Denim]

Yes hold on man and if u ever get the urge to wash know u have a support cast to talk u out of it.  1 day at a time as we say in A.A

Thanks everyone

Ok I think im gonna jump into these because the 18oz are out of stock in the size i need  My fav fitting jeans were tagged 33 but measured 17.4 or 34.8 in the waist.  They are now stretched to about 17.6.  SHould I go with the 33's or the 34's in the 666 XHS.  This might be a silly question and I know there are obvious thickness and quality differences between the 18oz Devils and the 25oz Devils but in fading and overall end result which of these has better potential & why.  Looking at the pics of each the 25 oz looks darker & isnt slubby looking.  Me seriously not knowing if slubby or hairy means better potential in fade & aging qualities.  Also considering these are sanfornized should II soak them before wearing &have these pre hemmed with my initial order on IH  down to say a 34.5 from 37?  I naturally wear 32in inseam as I am 6ft tall.

Thanks for any knowledge and answers
