@Mustafa911:

What is evo?  Is there an evo for 666s or only 666s2?

I am trying to understand restocked . Where on your site ?

Perhaps you should rephrase your questions.  I'm not sure I understand what you want.

I wasn't sure what evo is . I Thought some kind of special denim roll out. After I saw a picture , I asked what is evo and if it's available in 666s or 666s2. Again I didn't know you guys referring evo as "evolution " and not some special model denim.

New to IH and the forum and the denim language

It appeared that you did not know what the words Evo or restocked meant.  Rather than try and explain, I used a dictionary, they're better at explaining the meaning of words than I am….

Thanks G! Just saw your reply. I'll call when ready to order and see what you have in 666 that works for me.

@Giles:

@joephoto:

is that the actual size before a wash,

Yes, all measurements on thh website are pre-soak/wash

@joephoto:

And if they are a 41 to begin with would they stretch to a 42

They may over time
@joephoto:

Would I be better off with a 38 and letting the stretch?

Possibly…..

My rule of thumb is that after soak/wash/stretch, you will end up with a waist between 1/2" and 1" larger than pre soak/wash

Fun to see the difference. Tried to get them similar in Exposure. The 6 days pictrues should probably be darkened alittle. I might fix that. :)….

Awesome!!!

Sorry for the photo spam.

These will probably only get moderate wear the rest of the DWC. They have entered a stage where they need quite a lot of maintenance IE repairs.

Even my wife commented on them today. "Those jeans do not look that good anymore now".

I love them though. Hard to take pictures that make them justice.

Inside out

I usually wash them outside out and with folded cuffs. Not much roping action going on.

@nizzel55 Your pics are great!

Those jeans are Grail status man! They should be framed! Send them to indigo proof if you want to get more wear out of them. Rain is top notch at repairs. She totally disassembles everything to fix the material properly then puts it back together.

Alright I love my SIIs, but you clearly really love your SIIs  Nizzel.  Then again, I probably would too if mine looked like yours.

One year in, time for a soak

[1fookntitefd]

^ curious why a soak as opposed to a wash? I always wondered why some people have 5+ soaks with less washes on their jeans…i have never soaked jeans after the initial soak. Is it supposed to bring out more contrast or is the point to reshrink jeans that have been stretched?

[jdl1279]

I don't have much really on the surface of them, so don't feel the need for a machine level wash. I threw some soap in the soak to help break up anything else and freshen them some. I really just needed them to shrink back though

See I call that a hand wash, no soap=soak.

Fair enough
