    Thanks SG. After a couple of hours wear they are getting pretty comfy already, the top block suits my shape I think but the leg width feels odd after a couple of months in my 555's.

        The slim/skinny to straight fit transition is always weird. I gotta get into some 555s one of these days.

          Yes it does and vice versa. Those look really nice Gav, looking forward to seeing them evolve. Do you have any macros of the denim? Would love to see a closeup.

            710 size 36. Worn for about 5 months on weekends only. No washes yet but I'm thinking it's about time? What do you guys think?

              I think it looks good, but if it is dirty, wash it.  😉

                5 months only on weekends is about a total of maybe 40 days of wear. If they are dirty, wash them, but otherwise 40 days is a little soon.

                  I briefly considered using my new Samurai as my DWC jeans, as it seems that my Sauce Zhan jeans might have to be mailed around to a few potential retailers, but they are currently quite uncomfortable due to the abrasive nature of the denim.

                  The fit is a little snug, but I think fine and will stretch, the denim is like fucking sandpaper on my legs though….hoping they soften up soon or I might be looking for an alternative at short notice  😠

                    ^^^ Looks to me as if you'll be fine without a wash for quite some time!

                    Keep your jeans on–-and let nothing come in between you and the denim !

                      Thanks guys. I'm going for a higher contrast look and washed my iron hearts and strikes gold around the 4 month mark with the same wear pattern (weekends only because i work an office job). Maybe it's no wonder I don't have any honeycombs to show for those!

                            The 25oz is significantly softer after about 10 days of wear. Some detail pics…

                                      Thanks man, the denim starts like sandpaper on your skin but softens quickly. It's a relatively flat weave compared to some Sammy denim, but develops some more texture with wear, and it's relatively breathable.

                                        So they are they your comp pair @Megatron1505 ?
                                        I was looking at some 710's the other day and the price seems to dropped quite a lot since I had my last pair

                                          No decision on that yet dude, I have a choice of three pairs (first world problem), and will make the decision based on fit, form and function when they are all in hand.
