@seanocono:

My UPS man said, "You're like a girl with her purses with all the clothes you order."  I was not amused.

Slap him with a purse next time haha man you guys have funny UPS men.

Great purchases everyone, lots of fun in em

Fit looks good Brooks.

Thanks Gav. I think I need a larger cuff but we'll see how they turn out after the soak.

Funny thing, your handwriting on the pocket bags looks almost like I wrote it myself!

[dave]

lol.. I forgot what I bitch this denim is.  I dropped them in the tub before I ran water in it and they scraped blue on the sides like a crayon.  We'll have to see how well my decision to go with the full 37.5 inseam (i'm happy with 32 or 33) turns out

[bagley920]

My guest bathroom has turned pale blue as well dave. It's my designated jeans tub

Brooks, cuff is good, just give them 20 - 25 wears to settle and you'll be golden for combs-mageddon!!!!!

[Finn666]

what size are you wearing bags?

[bagley920]

Size 36 Rafa, I'm hoping that the combs will each .5-1 inch and that should be golden

[Finn666]

thanks mate! they look pretty good imo…I also ordered and received a 36" waist!
somehow it's always interesting to see how the same item in the same size fits a different person...mine aren't that "loose"

[dave]

I didn't even realize these didn't have the standard W/arcs.. That was a good surprise.  Was that part of the spec the entire time or did it evolve over time?  I don't remember reading about it when I bought them.

My legs are slimmer than my waist would suggest. Alot of my weight is centered around my gut. My legs could easily fit into a 34 but not my waist

iirc it was specked from the get go! well actually black W and arcs but these are even better imo!

that's what I thought, for me it's almost the other way around…soccer and gym thighs require a bigger size as the waist would need, so here I am, in my w36

[RocknRoll]

Chafed thighs, anyone?

[tmg]

Quick question, (and yes, I've read through the thread already), but is a soak actually necessary?
I know these are sanforised, and I know that due to deadlines they missed out on the normal 1st wash before leaving Japan, but is there a purpose for this wash besides removing any residue from the sanforising process? For raw, unsanforised denim the first soak is to bed on the construction/stitching, just wondered if that aspect also applies here?

Regardless, I'm loving the fit on these MBB's….....fresh denim is just ridiculously tactile

[bagley920]

Quick answer, if you want your denim to last 2 years, yes

Same issue here.  First look at the 34" and the 36" measurement columns then straight to the thigh measurement. Anything less than 13" is going to be tight.

TMG:
Based on my experience with the 666XHS, I'd say the soak is completely optional. You'll get some shrinkage but not a whole lot.

Perhaps the main advantage is the denim will be a bit kinder to your delicate areas. It may also last longer if you're one of those crotch-ripping types.

As for me, I like to punish my balls, so I didn't soak.

[tmg]

Thanks for the responses guys, looks like I'll try soaking them tomorrow - I really don't need any shrinkage, so it will be a warm soak at best. Any advice as to how long I should soak them for?

[bagley920]

As a general rule, If I'm trying to shrink them I go as hot as possible from the tap and soak until the water is cold

On these, I soaked mine in cold since I didn't want them to shrink and just did it for an hour then pulled them out to hang

All I remember is it was an instant buy
