OK TY…I am soaking mine now..I hope they dont shrink much :-\ :-\

Looking forward to your fit Flash!
So your size 29 measured 30" raw instead of 31"? Well then it's the usual difference I always encounter on BiG's measurements. They always seem to indicate the waist 1" bigger than it really is…maybe they pull the hell out of the waistband while measuring..I dunno.

[bagley920]

Do they measure across the back and times by 2 or do they measure with the waist pulled even?

[Flash]

Yea mate everything else way spot on , just tried them on ( still damp and stiff as cardboard ) ard they are exactly what I was going for so I'm pretty stoked

[Blackheart]

Right on Flash, that fit is great, my fave by far.

@bagley920:

they measure this way:
http://blueingreensoho.com/site/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=

which is also known as the "BiG-Method". the way 90% of usmeasure their jeans, me included. at least everyone asks for BiG-style measurements when you sell your jeans.

[Giles]

but not the way the Japanese jeans manufacturers do because it is inaccurate….

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I know.

But for the waistband measurement (the topic of this discussion) I get the same measurements using BiG-style or from The Works.

If you use the DC4-method, that measurement is very inaccurate though (measuring without an aligned waistband)

[Flash]

Still getting used to the new contrast arcs but there realy growing on me

the vx denim is soo slubby

Cant wait to start wearing them now but ive got my contest ooe's coming and im not finished with my 710's or my fullcount's

[Blackheart]

That's the same denim on my 510XX's, are yours stiff and rough feeling Flash?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

It's not the same denim, BH
But of course both are hairy and slubby.

@Flash: that gap on your arcs is really big…bigger than what I'm used to and what I usually saw. Interesting.

[Flash]

Are you sure Blackheart ? The only 510's I know to use the 17oz zero denim were a 2nd collab  ( if you have these I'm tonne be really jealous )
The denim is really rough and still quite stiff

EDIT.      Bf Got there first

[Flash]

Its kinda strange BF because on the other pocket the gap is a lot smaller but it just makes it feel a little more personal

[Blackheart]

My 510's are 21 oz. denim, but you're right b_F, it's not the same denim, just looks the same.

So Flash are your 5000VX's 17 oz.? I know they make a 21 oz. which I'd like to have…

[Flash]

Yes blackheart there the 17oz denim
ill try and get some fit pics up at the weekend

[Finn666]

and i already thought they came out with another new shape of arcs
great pics flash!…

[Blackheart]

Great Flash, would love to see the fit on you.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Those are the little differences we like and make those jeans more unique

[Dirty Denim]

and this was before i 2nd hot soaked them

[Flash]

Just a pic of the left pocket to compare the arcs
