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.

[KrisB]

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

Whaaaaaaat, an OD 25oz. That would be amazing.

Thanks for the after wash pics RedStripe.  The before and after look pretty much the same right now.  Kind of good to know.  I like my dark jeans to fade slow…..
