    I LOVE these jeans. The 18oz denim is my absolute favorite denim. Today marks the first day of wear. So happy I decided to get these. They're stiff and hard motherfuckers right now but I'm more than willing to break them 😉

      Mr. G, is this new batch of the 18oz different in any way than other batches since you and Haraki-san thought it might shrink more?

        It shrinks the same amount.  We thought it would shrink more, thus this batch is about 1" oversized in the waist.

          How's the thigh stretch on these babies? Love the fit but snug on the thighs which make them sit lower than I would like.

                  Love my 666s but must admit the waist is a little large… Nothing a belt can't fix but its definetly a strange feeling to have new pair of denim that is so loose In the waist..

                    These shrunk to a 35 for me so I guess I can feel good about that. Still probably need to lose a few more lbs to feel comfortable since these are the slimmest jeans I've ever owned

                        So much that it would fall completely down without a belt?

                        I guess I get lucky or my waist is weird, but every pair of new denim I buy ends up being perfect. Not tight and not necessarily loose, right in the middle…perfect. They don't fall off if I pull them down, but I can definitely pull them all the way (wedgie style) and they're a little loose. I guess being a skinny fuck does that 😛

                          Yeah they would without doubt fall sans belt especially after any stretching at all from moving

                            Mine are lower rise than other IHs - sit pretty low on hips - and fall off with no belt.  They snug up post-wash then stretch out after 2-3 wears.

                                  Mr. G, was the leather used for the patch this go round different than other patches? I've noticed it's a lot lighter than the patch on my 301s.

                                    Same type of  leather.  Unless the patch on your 301 is new, you are seeing evo on it and not comparing like with like…

                                      Ok, so soaked 'em yesterday - here are the fit pics…

                                      Very happy with the fit, especially through the thigh - wanted to avoid 555-style pain on that front!  Waist could do with being an inch smaller, but the fit's so good everywhere else it's not really a factor.

                                      Rocking the double cuff until I make a call on hemming…

                                        Sorry for the noob questions but how long does it usually take for this 18oz denim to settle and get comfortable and for the creases to set? These are tough mother fuckers! And also will the folding creases go away once they settle?

                                        I like them GM. You must have thunder thighs :p even for my chicken legs these are uncomfortable right now. But I love the denim 😘

                                          GM, if you soak again and agitate the waistband a bit, you can probably get 0.5" more shrinkage. My vulcans only shrank 0.5" on the initial soak (mild agitation) and about 0.75" on the second soak (heavy agitation). Enjoy.
