@rodspeed:

Went Xmas tree hunting today in my 777s. These have seen one cold soak and have stretched out to become quite comfy.

@rodspeed  You will also get that EVO. JUST WEAR A LOT. Picked a very nice tree to.

@rodspeed I think those look great, just wear the hell out of them and when you wash em they will probably go back to how they are at first. Stretch em then shrink em back to normal, inseam wont come back of course, but you get it

I think these are in the verge of really shedding some blue. A couple more weeks of crawling around in my car should do the trick…

Did a little after wash freeze. An online buddy of mine, Stephen Snider, has a working theory about freezing and fading and indigo and cotton fibers and
It’s just fun to freeze em for a sec and hear them thunk when they fall over, hard as a rock 
I’ll post dry photos soon. These are 90 days in, first wash, after a soak and wear 2.5 months ago.

I bought a pair of these 25oz indigo/black jeans after studying this blog and looking at the pictures.  I liked the photos where the older worn jeans would have a fairly unique appearance more like deep indigo rather than black.  I assumed that I could accelerate that lightening process by soaking them in very hot water.  I tried it at least 3 times, and was surprised to see almost no darkening of the wash water !  Of course the hot water did shrink them, but it was not a problem.  I just used my heavy duty waist expander on them while they were hang drying.
