Hah it's only been 3 wears and the thighs are still tight but I THINK the waist is stretching! The denim is probably the coolest I've ever handled so I'm going to stick it out. I want to experience this denim molding to my body!

That is exactly the required attitude. Good man.

Quick update, coming up on about a week of wear and they are slowly stretching and getting more comfy. Haven't gone through this process with a pair of raws in a long time. It's slightly grueling but certainly fun.

Let’s see some pics!

I guess I spoiled this denim by throwing it in the washing machine. I purchased it sometime in 2017 and I wore it extensively that year, but after that I kind of did not have the chance to wear it at office. It somehow landed in the washing machine and as it can be seen from the pictures below, it has got those fades in unwanted areas. What could I do about it?
-
What a shame….
Nothing can make the fades lines un-fade I am afraid. If you wear long enough the unwanted fades will start to merge into the background....
Looks like the patch has shrunk a little too, I'd oil it and see if it will revert to pre-wash shape/size, if not cut it off...
-
I know it was my mistake to have it in the washing machine! Lesson learnt! I'm okay with the patch. It has a used look now!
-
I’d put a good leather conditioner the patch anyway so it doesn’t get too dry and start cracking.
-
I don’t think the lines are very noticeable. Just wear the heck out of them. The advantage is now you don’t have to baby them, and can wash and dry with reckless abandon.
Agreed.

I will do it! I have some oil that I use on my Red Wing Iron Ranger shoes! Probably will use'em

I bought a pair of these and am finding it difficult to wear anything else. At this point I have realized that the 666 is the perfect cut for me and having a pair in this fabric is an unbeatable combination. Long live the 666.

The 666-21s are my first pair as well, and they have molded to my body like no other denim ever has.
You can forget your other jeans…
They just get better with every wear:)
