Haha. End of his name is FD. That is the chassis code for a 3rd gen rx7 "FD3S"
No more car talk in the TSG thread. Lets head over to the appropriate thread with more pics and info

Thats some good looking evolution on the Strike Gold jeans.
Mclaincausey rock them forever.

New belt obtained.
Could have gone with a 34 or 35 instead of a 36. Using second tightest hole and it is pretty tight. I can buckle the last hole wearing my 666s but then it hurts. Alot.
I can only hope that it will not stretch to much.
Self edge only had them in 32 and 36. Found out that rakuten got them in all sizes today.

Nevertheless I am very happy with the belt.
Going to be fun seeing it age and evolve.

[mclaincausey]

Those single-layer belts are unfortunately more subject to stretching than a belt of two layers with their grains reversed. It's a beaut, hope she serves you well!

I have the same belt in black. It has stretched a little over the years, but nothing too significant. Love that natural color.

Anyone else have the 51xx denim beaides MCL? Curious about how much they really shrink.

Sorry, I missed this earlier. Worn frequently since August '13, washed once, 3 soaks.

Just found my post from when I soaked and I did lose quite a bit in the thigh but it let back out. I think the weft slub pushed more shrinkage. That was a 15 minute hot soak so I'd go cold.

What Mclain said. They shrink a lot, but they also stretch a lot.

[pillowPANTS]

Mainly worried about the legs and legs arent known to stretch real easy or alot. Oh well, roll the dice i guess
