Sorry for the quality of the pics it is too dark, my wife don't know how to use the camera.  Will post some outdoor next time.
I love this plyboard like denim, hehehe
Thanks for the compliments guys.

Yeah, Ben, those look great! I wish I could make a pair of denim look like that!

[zwer]

Yeah, I love that fit. Now I'd like to see a pair on someone properly 200+ lbs (no disrespect to Dirty Denim)

[joesaintjohn]

I'd like to see some denim that fits people solidly 250!!! Fat dudes need cool clothes too!

See: knew they'd be perfect post-soak 

[ben2t]

Any advice how long and how hot i am supposed to soak this denim, i soaked it as hot the faucet can give for 1.5 hour, will i get more shrinkage in the inseam if i give it a second soak?
I am thinking of wearing it for 3 days then give it a boiling hot soak.
Presoak/postsoak measurement

waist              32.5 / 31.2
Front rise      10    /  9.7
Rear rise        15  /  14.7
Thigh              11.5 /  11.3
Knee                7.8  /  7.7
Hem                  7.2  /  7.1
Inseam            36    /  35

Any input will be appreciated, thanks….

That looks like the sort of shrinkage I'd expect. You may get another 0.5 out of the inseam, but that's about it.  I just do mine in hot water out of the tap.  if you agitate the jean when in the water, you'll get more shrinkage.  If you boil them, your patch will become a weapon…..

Thanks G, i will just keep it this way then. I love this super fantastic jeans.

Would love a pair, too. But it is hard to abandon my XHS, just as the weather starts to become colder

Great whiskers. Btw. You use pomade for your hairdo?

[Dirty Denim]

Thanks and as for my hair I have to use the strongest hair products for my hair.  I have what is called cow licks all over my head lol which causes my hair to stick up if I use anything else but glue like hair products

[daynym]

cow licks eh? Have the same "problem". Therefore me use pomade from time to time but its a pain in the butt to wash out….

[llvlaglne]

daynym and dd- my sister works in a salon, she suggested i started using either shaping lotion or texture cream. if you are having a hard time styling and need a thick consistency to style your hair use texture cream. i suggest ENJOY: Texture Cream

somehow i´m feeling the cuff+stack option on these…great fit mate!

[Dirty Denim]

Me too…it looks great with these because of how slim the hem is.

@hasty:

6'2ish and 80kg (176lbs)

To help gauge my frame, here's a WAYWT pic (I'm wearing a large shirt and jeans are 33" waist). - http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=9.msg205403#msg205403

Right on, its a great fit. I'd love to see pictures after the denim sets in better if you get the chance
