      Wtg Flash…can't wait to see em...mine are glued to me and are stretching beautifully as well as length starting to settle a bit..I really like the look of samples..more than I thought.  I think its the Levis look to them and I love Levis back pockets.  These are just a better version

              if you're liking the look/feel of rough denim, DD, then I suggest you peruse the PBJ thread as well. Those guys have mastered the art of slub!  🙂

              For example:

                  It seems these shrink much more than the 666S. Been considering this pair of 710XX but now I'm skeptical. Kinda worried about the measurements. 😞

                  the denim actually becomes more pliant & stretches out once they've soften up from wash & wear.  the [[b]vertucal shrinkage] is what you need to be careful. BiG usually factor in the shrinkage when they hem in-store__ just as long as you give/tell  'em w/e "post wash" measurement you want.

                  btw,  my 710s_ will take fresh fit photos when i get a chance.

                      about 3.5 yrs_ worn solid for 7mos, then on & off after = 1.5yrs effective wear :: approx x12 washes

                            I'm hoping I can get my S510XX's to soften up a bit, only one wash so far but they're like sandpaper!

                              they're short fiber Texas cotton, so they're loaded with starch to keep the yarns pressed.  i did periodic soaks on my 500xx to get rid of the starch & temper the fabric + threads.

                              they will soften quite nicely with wear.

                                    19oz denim fades really fast for the first weeks, then it stagnates and after that…whooosh 😉

                                        Thanks Mike…I will be much more proud when these are done naturally...Next i need a IH pair to do the same with.  Maybe the 555's or a pair of ducks

                                        You won't regret it, man. The 'natural' evolution route is slow and sometimes frustrating, but the end result makes it so rewarding. As you said, you will be proud - damn proud!

                                        Keep it up mate!

                                          My new 5000vx soaking in the tub

                                          could have went down to a 28 but i think these will be fine after a few soaks

                                          All the measurements were spot on ( blue in green ) except the waist which measured 30
                                          Ill post some post soak measurements after a few soaks
