      I just returned from my first night out with the new Loombreaker.

      So far it wears like a charm (after it wasn't damp anymore) but the creases around the knee make it look a little akward while walking or standing around. I have no experience with Duck and the whole heavy Denim thing is relatively new to me, so could someone with more experience please tell me if the creases will spred them self a bit more evenly, once the fabric softened up a little with wear.

      I hate looking like I wear kneepads underneath all the time. 🙂

        They look really good. I should have given you more competition in the auction!

          They look great, Cole. I'm sure they will settle with wear. That stiffness is just the initial price of going heavy. It will be worth it.

            Yeah just wear them and they will soften up and settle. Great fit!

              That would have saved me quite some trouble with my better half. 🙂

                  I have now an extensive experience in heavy jeans, and I can tell you that wearing them, everything falls into place! Ducks are just more tough, but in the end they surrender.

                      Pardon the lack of knowledge, but is there a similar expected shrinkage with raw duck as raw denim? Or does it behave totally differently?

                        Duck and denim are different weave patterns, so they do have different shrink and stretch characteristics.  Specifically, duck doesn't really shrink or stretch.  Denim obviously will do both, to one degree or another.

                              Those indigo ducks are really nice on you.
                              The indigo is really dark.

                                  Samples have been made, on their way for me to approve?  What info were you after?

                                      Is this the first Picture of the 816DD? I didn't follow the Forums that much lately…

                                          Thanks. They look great with the blue stitching…IMO that works best for double indigo.

                                            May do on a work pant, but Haraki and I believe that a jean has contrast stitching…..
