      Ha…..

      They ended up in the wrong order… but you get the idea.

        I did six hours of straight room stripping in them. Knocking through a wall, crow barring out plyboard and architraves and after woods pine flooring then carrying it all out to the skip. Not once did I feel restricted or uncomfortable and that in a pair of pants that are pretty snug on me.

                  I’ve put in about six full days with demolition on the house, wearing the Shinayaka each day… I’ll hold off washing them for a while as it isn’t mucky work, just dry and dusty. But I thought we needed a pic here:

                  I can not believe how easy it is to work in heavy denim this slim. Super comfy, warm and rugged, no restriction to movement.

                    Starting to see evo around the knees and a bit on the thighs.  Looks good!

                    How is the denim for breath ability?  Are they the same as the 21oz?

                      It’s coming in slowly for sure. Very reminiscent of the standard 21oz in that respect. They’ve only had about 30 days of wear, so this isn’t bad.

                      As for breathability, I’d say they are less airy than the 21oz but in a good way. They seem warmer, more insulating, but not sticky warm if you see what I mean.

                        Another Sauturday ripping up 80 year old floorboards in the new house, but I got to snap a few pics of the Shinayaka. There is typically stubborn development going on…

                            Cheers boss. It is very dusty work so I expect more striking contrast after a wash. Still can’t get over how comfortable they are to work in…

                              These are looking sooo good. Coming along really well, and after a wash can you show them again?

                                Of course! I will hold off washing for a while as the temps in the house mean I do not sweat much and often wear an insulating layer under them (long johns). So dusty and grubby, yes, but not smelly. We a have a week or two left of carrying and disposing of crap, together with some tidying up before the contractors start. I’ll give them a wash them and put them back into daily rotation at my day job.

                                  That sounds great. By all means keep giving them hell until you absolutely need to give them that wash.My 666-21s are nowhere near yours and ive been rocking them for 6 months now 😞

                                          These look 'bruised' like the regular 21oz does when it starts to show some evo.

                                            When they have received their first wash I’ll do a full comparison, but up until now the only difference is a very slight colour variation caused by the darker weft and the fact that creases take a little longer to form due to the stretchiness. Otherwise they behave just like 21oz when it comes to evo.
