So what ya think about the new cut @neph93 ?
I can't wait to see more denim released for this cut. I only really waiting on one denim really, which is good…saves money ha.
I am very happy the front pockets are deeper, one huge bonus. Some of my IH are perfect, mostly the double knees. The pihan10 straight cut is pretty good, could use an extra 3/4" to be perfect for me. My 634sb are def the shortest bags I have. While the double duck and 25od seem to be spot on.
Any idea how well they are selling in Japan @Giles ? If they are selling the cut….

Neph what's the significance of the date in the inside pocket? Is it to tell how old you have had the denims?
Despite being into denim for over four years, I'm still at that geek stage where I keep track of how many days wear my jeans have. So that is the start date [emoji851]

Uhm… I only wore them for 2-3 hours yesterday and according to the Big Neph Book of Denim Geekery, it takes at least 8 hours wear for it to constitute a wear day. So today is day one. I was just getting them ready last night when I took this photo (ohmygodsomebodyshootme)

IMHO a day count only adds unnecessary complexity to an easy task: wearing jeans and enjoying it.
BOOM

It's part of the fun for me. I like comparing how different denim looks at day 50, day 200 etc. But as we've already established I'm basically Leonard from Big Bang Theory in good jeans [emoji1]
And with a cool British accent. American chicks love British accents.

On MTV Cribs he'd take them to a downstairs lab and say "This is where the magic happens"…
this made me snort.

I've decided to pass on these, mainly because the thighs came in smaller than original concept. I'm still in for the 888-NT, and excited that the thighs may be larger than this run of 888S. And, I really don't need two pair of very similar heavy indigo 888's. If the the UHR is a better version of the standard 21, I'll take just that one. Also very interested in other denims in the future, particularly SB, hopefully the vintage 18oz, and hopefully a lighter version like the 14oz. I'd do back flips for something crazy like the 25oz indigo/indigo!
I agree with previous comments re: the thigh measurements - there are enough other slimmer, tapered cuts to fit those tastes. Part of the main appeal of this cut is the thighs being slightly larger than the 634.
But even saying that, the fit pics so far look GREAT on everyone, and I'm excited for the NT in October!!!! My days of really heavy lifting and massive thigh potential are behind me now (both hips replaced, left last year and right two months ago), and however the NT's turn out will work just fine for me.
