Did you walk into the ocean immediately after taking this picture?  [emoji14]

[Nik]

a wave hit me just before, wet below the knees, so we carried on with the walk and then gave the jeans a soak when home

This is one way to get some OD fades…

About three months of wearing most days, love how these are coming along, so solid.

Gorgeous roping on those @Nkwkfld. What is your washing routine?

[Nik]

Thanks @neph93 my washing routine is quick wash (30 mins) 30 C no spin then I lay flat on a towel and roll it up before hang drying. This pair have been washed three times I think.

[neph93]

Figured. I think the OD is one of those fabrics that does well with regular washing.

The 633 is the same medium rise top block and relaxed thigh as the 634 but with taper from the knee to hem. The 888 has a higher rise that narrows towards the waist, an a relaxed leg that tapers evenly from the top of the thigh all the way to the hem, giving an overall slimmer profile than the 634 and 633, as the knee is narrower.

Usually they’re not cuffed

@Nkwkfld Smart move on the darker thread for hemming.  OD is my next pair for sure, just deciding between 888 or 633.  These are looking so good man!

As a matter of interest, have you had either of those cuts before?

[BD81]

I would go 888 they are super comfortable.

Tried on at Self Edge.  The high rise is comfy but takes getting used to I think. Could also just go 555 OD, but thinking good to have other cuts in the closet.

The high rise also becomes less of a noticable feature with wear, both in terms of wearing them and the optics. It relaxes and creases beautifully on most body shapes.

When choosing a size, bare in mind that the OD 21oz  stretches more than any other denim.
