[Dirty Denim]

Yea I got ya..I just wanted to get the uncomfortable feeling out of the hip area..When i sit or bend down my hips get a lot of preasure ..My hips kinda feel like my thumbs from buttoning these things…BRUISED

[thomasnunnally]

The pain you people put yourselves through I do not understand.  I have decided that my definition of sizing down is totally different from most!

[Giles]

Rest assured, they'll feel like that for a few weeks…..

Tommy: this isn't about sizing down… I had bruises on my hips (visible fucking wounds) just because of the initial stifness of the 25 oz fabric... Mind you, I did not size down - in fact: the waist measured 33" (tagged 32)...

Yeah, mine are 34 and came to me w/ a larger waist.  The hip area was super tight but I managed by doing lots of sitting… on barstools.

Yea i didnt size down at all went with the 33's but YES ur hips feel like they've been kicked by a horse.  I started out by wearing a belt because they fit so damn perfect on the waist and didnt want any stretch there at all.  I have never owned a pair of jeans that actually didnt have that lil space between the back of my waist and the jean. 666XHS 25oz is heaven and hell all in one

@daynym:

If you want to maintain an acceptable odor with your jeans, don´t try to sweat soak them every night.

Hang 'em out in the sun for a few hours if they start to stink - helps kill the odours.

[Dirty Denim]

If mine start to stink it would probably be because suddenly i have an enormous amount of gas..Of course it happens when i get a pair of heavy fekkers that soak that shit up..Probably happeneing cause they got me nervous …HEAVY MUTHAS

26 weeks and one wash:

[Morose_Penguin]

Fantastic!! Especially those knee fades.

[Dirty Denim]

Beautiful George..any soaks in between?

[georgeel]

Thanks, gentlemen!

Nope, no soaks, only one machine wash after 6 months of almost constant worn.
Oh, sorry I forgot… I made a mini-soak in october, putting the hems in the water...

In the future, I'm planning to wash them more often than other jeans.

[Dirty Denim]

oH right u did say that in an earlier post…How did that work for u because I was thinking of doin it.  Did u get any shrinkage

[Dirty Denim]

Are u planning on more washing because they need a lil more than normal of a push to help them along the way?

[ALEX1976]

noice!

I think they need to be softened to avoid an excessive consumption in some abrasion points.
I noticed a little shrinkage, but then, after a very few days, they stretched again.
Ultimately, after this first washing, they look and feel better.
IMHO.

Ok I am noticing at the points of my creases they are already white from whatever lil abrasion there is.  I love the way ur pair is turning out.  From the pics they almost look like the way OD's fade.
