I'm tired of my 666Sii's looking so fresh. Giles gave me a sample pair when i started and i've not really given them much time but seeing some of these examples on here i'm going to wear these none stop for a while.

Thanks for the inspiration guys!

Nizzel, those look great.  Mine look nothing like those, and they never will- they'll be their own version of broken in.  Great pics, thanks for posting!

Killer as always @nizzel55!

How stretchy are these in the waist? Curious to know if anybody has achieved 1.5".

[nizzel55]

I have stretched mine quite a bit. Tagged 32.
They always shrink  a bit after a wash.  But are stretched out very quickly again after some wear.

[Peter]

That does seem stretchy! Tack så mycket @nizzel55, kanske blir ytterligare ett par i staden.

I love the way they fade

[babyknight]

here is a quick update on my pair at 9 months, 1 initial soak and 2 washes.  I love this denim and the way it fades to a whiter contrast.

[xtcclassic]

Awesome. Such a beautiful color on these.

[tailoredfamcam]

These are definitely going to be my next pair.

@nizzel55 you are clearly a denim fading master not of this earth. I would not be surprised if you are the second coming of Jesus, because Jesus would obviously wear denim since it's the fabric of the people. Banter aside, I was hoping you could answer some questions for me.

1. Is there anything in particular you do to prepare your jeans prior to their first wear? I ask this because your combs look nearly identical on your 666-SR's.

2. You said you machine washed five times. I've tried machine washing before and the wrinkling and folding that happens in the machine can mess with already-established fade patterns on my jeans. Honeycombs might form differently, for instance.
