^^ this! Mine are still out getting tapered. Somebody has gotta have something to show us from this denim.

They're darker than they look in the pic!

^^ there we go! They'relooking good. Interested to see the evo to come

@D97x7 coming through with the wear on these! Despite my best efforts to wear them through the summer, it's been hot–and I'm mostly a weekend warrior with the denim these days, anyway. I expect it'll be another 6 months for me to get them to that level. Nice work.

Great work, D97x7. I only wear mine in the evenings / weekends so I imagine it's going to take me at least another 6 months for my pair to look anything like yours. I doff my cap.

How many soaks have yours had?

@DVD:

How many soaks have yours had?

Thanks, they had an initial hot soak then two machine washes.

[DVD Connoisseur]

Many thanks. I've just given mine two hot soaks so far to manage the shrinkage out.

I'll give them some proper breaking-in time and then try a machine wash.

I'm continuing to work on my 634B&SRAW so these will stay in the back of the closet until it gets a little cooler.  The 16oz loomstate denim is a little too warm in the 80F-90F heat.

just got mine back from Railcar. i had them tapered and hemmed to my liking. RC did a great job as usual. they are very soft for a 25 oz fabric. i also find them more breathable than the 18ozII. these jeans are fabulous.

mate you are certainly on the way to indigo glory. wear them everyday? i can wear mine for a few hours after work so will probably take a solid period of 6 months to gain any whiskers

[D97x7]

Thanks, yea pretty much, apart from washing and when it just got too hot.

Not great photos. Took them after workout this am. Left them a little long to allow for more length shrinkage. If they don't shrink anymore then I'll have them hemmed an inch or so.

Thanks guys. I'm happy with the fit. Today is 81 and a little cloudy so I can wear them.

[Matty123]

These haven't really started bleeding yet. I don't even have blue hands after today? Maybe I need to break a good sweat in them. Was just crawling on a white blanket with my daughter and I couldn't make a mark. I tried!

[emoji38] it'll happen when you least expect it (and least want it). The leather interior of your father-in-laws Mercedes for example… [emoji28]

It's coming for sure. The blue wave.
