634s-SEXIH13 - 23oz Selvedge - Straight Fit
-
Without hijacking the 23oz denim thread (a major love of mine), I love the slow fading and major softness of the 21oz flagship. I know the 21oz's are going to be around for MANY years and still look nearly new; that durability is what I love.
THIS 23oz denim is really rich, it feels soft and stiff at the same time and has so many hues, that and it gets electric blue fades. Would still buy another pair of this 23oz
thats how I feel about the 25oz
Have you handled the 23oz?"Obstacles are stepping-stones That guide us to our goals"

Gave my pair of these their first wash over the weekend, and wearing again now. It's like first love all over again. No real fade changes as a result of the wash, as expected, what I was not, however, expecting was the texture to change so much. They've gone from feeling silky smooth and bullet proof, to bullet proof and fibrous. Very exciting development.

^That will happen with every wash btw, but they soften up again after 2 or 3 days.
Oh, and pics please!

I bought a pre-owned pair of these from tatmantall and I am very impressed. I have a pair of SExIHxLSxA13s, so I knew the denim is sweet, but what I'm really loving is the fit. These seem to fit like a slimmed down 634, while still being roomier than my 666. Between the fit and the beautiful dark blue denim, I almost don't want to use them as a work pair.
Anyhow, I'll post some pics at the end of the week.

I've been wearing these since I started work in April again, needed a different work pair than the MBBs as I was happy with where they were at progression wise. These were put away at 4.5 months wear and with wearing them this season for 5.5 months put their total wear time at 9.5-10 months.
Initially no washes for the first 4.5 months, then a soak and a wash followed by being on a shelf for a year. Current care for the last 5.5 months has been a machine wash ever week or three followed by being hung on a hook outside to dry. I would say a dozen or so machine washes? I really have no idea though. They also went through a couple rain storms as I didn't get them inside before it rained so they sat on the hook until the storm cleared and they were dry.
Bunch of pictures to celebrate end of season. Still more work to be done but the bulk of it is over now. These probably have around 1000 skydives now.

I picked up a pair of these last week, how much stretch will the waist give? I tried my usual size of 34 and they were way to big, so I opted for the 33 waist. I need about 1/2" to 3/4" of stretch in the waist.

F%cking hell Fanya. WOW!!!
