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

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

          My advice would be if you are trying to decide between two sizes, get the larger size. The waist stretches no problem, the thighs will stretch a decent amount too but it takes some work. Check out the Superfuture thread, I posted my experiences there (I'm everyinchofgod on SuFu).

            I think Pillow's problem is that he's at the largest size they make–SG is not exactly a gaijin-conscious brand.

            @pillowPANTS The fabric is pretty stretchy, if you roll the dice I hope it works out for you, good luck.

            Think it, be it.

              @mclaincausey I can't wait to see your 5105's when they get to the level your 3105's are at. Get to work and post some pics!  A couple more weeks left of HWDC2 and then I'll be starting on mine.

                What sucks about that is that I'm entering IH-634SII, so they won't get much wear. I think they'll become my "sneaker jeans" 🙂

                  The texture on these 5105 is so cool. I wish I could capture it better.

                      Thanks; it's a weird denim. slubby blisters horizontally, streaks vertically, and then a grainy element. The twill is crooked too. During HWDC, the IH-634SII will be my "boot jeans" but I'll wear these any other time I'm wearing jeans. I guess I have to retire my soft, beloved 3105s once the competition spools up 😨

                      Think it, be it.

                        I can see what you're describing, and grainy is a sound adjective. I do understand the DWC internal conflict. I keep thinking of how much love both pair of my 666 have left to give. Alas both are out of contention, so I get to prolong their lifespan

                            Right! Mine are still furry in areas of less wear, the thighs have shed most of theirs. The Evo on these promises to be special

                              51xx denim next to faded 21oz

                              On its own

                              So much texture in this denim. Super irregular and rough, but some how also soft

                                          These 5105 are evolving fast on just a few wears. You can see the texture at a distance now:

                                            Nice! Can't wait to see how they develop. I have my own of course, but since I can only wear jeans two days per week, I will be watching yours for inspiration.
