@Sam:

some wears and some washing… i've lost track to be honest.

Best approach, IMO.  Just wear and enjoy…

[Sam]

Those look great! with some serious reconstructive surgery too! @madmonday

where do you get your repairs done or do you do it yourself?

[madmonday]

Thanks @Sam

repairs by Self Edge NY, Railcar & Iron Heart Japan.

The amount of money I've dumped into repairs on these I really need to purchase a sewing machine & start darning myself

Should I cop these or 01's if i want sik fadezz?
01 doesn't say that they are raw indigo so im assuming they fade slow or fades are weak.
only thing stopping me from buying 666s is the back pockets (i prefer the stealth arc) and with the 555-01 everything checks out they were my first choice but i haven't seen one interesting fade pic with that model.

I like the electric blue undertone of the 02 that ive seen in some pics, only cons i heard is they are not comfy plus im worried about the whole unsanforized,soaking and sizing bit.

How does the break in process and comfort compared to APC ps? (if anyone here owns both pairs)

I really want to go with 01 but I want something that won't take forever to fade

should i go with the 02?

[Giles]

Go with the 02.

You can always remove the arcs with a seam ripper if you wanted the 666

If you are concerned with fades, go 02. The 21oz is amazing denim, but it is very slow to fade. The 01 would be way more comfortable, and easy to wear from the get go. 02 is going to be stiff and hard to break in.

APC is just a lighter, more slack stretchy denim. The 01 would probably be the closer of the two, but they're apples and oranges.

555-01 is safer bet concerning sizing. If you are familiar with your measurements and not afraid of shrinkage, then I would go with 555-02. 18oz is something else.
