time for a wash

Looking forward to the post wash pics, RS. These jeans are incredibly underrated. My pair is just starting to show some evo. This one is truly a slow burner.

Post wash pics please RedStripe…..

[RedStripe]

indeed ;)… but got to wait til we get some sun here, as I want to replicate the same conditions the before pics were taken in

Tbh there didn't look like a lot of fading action had taken place when I looked at them in poor light, might be wrong though!

This was the second wash in about 7 months.
(By wash I mean alot of agitation with liquid washing soap in the bath, inside out)

^^Point taken sir.  I know we bought ours around the same time.  I'm still waiting til the 1 year mark on mine to give them their first wash.  Unfortunately I put them on the back burner due to the SEXIH13 I picked up a few months back.  Must get back to wearing these.

8. I wish I could have waited longer to wash them J; but I find the overdyed shows up so much more dirt than the regular 21oz, where it seems to blend in more ???
   Yours will look great with a years wear before a wash

Good job! These are some stubborn damn bottoms!

Does the black overdye make the denim less breathable?

[seanocono]

I find them to be very breathable.

[KrisB]

Do they stretch much?

[Giles]

A lot

[KrisB]

As much as the 25oz's?

[Giles]

Yes, possibly a tad more, the weave on the 21oz is looser than on the 25oz

How about a 25oz over-dyed 634?  limited to 50 pairs?

[JCar2666]

G won't do it spytech.  I've asked already but I would be all over it if he did.  Wonder if he would ever do a small batch if he got enough people interested…..

[seanocono]

I'm pretty sure that if it was easy/possible, it would have been done, already.

[Nerkg]

I'm sure it's easy, overdye is just a matter of like boiling water dye and whatever secrets they use to have it come out right, I think the problem is they lose a bunch of pairs in the process so essentially they lose money and with a small run there's probably not much wiggle room to just be trashing a bunch of pairs while overdying. I bet it would be worth it if they had a large run but OD dosent sell well so that won't happen either

[seanocono]

Nerkg, yeah, I think you're absolutely right. They lose enough of the regular 25oz, as it is. Moral of the story: buy the 634s-B. You won't regret it.

The OD's are deffinatly on my to-buy list, but I was wondering if there was a pair of superblacks without the zipper?
