    No I don't think. It's just how I have been wearing them. I put a ton of starch in them and wore them a lot. I only soaked them about twenty minutes because of my sick cat.

      @Filthy I've always wondered if you use liquid starch or spray starch (can).  Used spray starch when I was in the military, but haven’t t used any since.

      Recommendation.  What do you use, how often, any tips or tricks?

      Much appreciated!

        You can use both. Whatever is easiest. My recipe is 8 oz water to a boil. 1/3 cup of corn starch, half a teaspoon citric acid or lemon juice as a preservative. Bring water and starch to a boil, stir vigorously until thickened, then add the mix to a spray bottle. You can strain it if there's lumps but there should not be. I don't use this on the outside of the jeans because it leaves white marks.

          How often do you apply and do you do the entire leg or just the stacks/knees?

            Wear the jeans in real good at least a month then turn them inside out and light em up all over with your starch. You can iron them with a hot iron and starch a couple times. Get them nice and crispy and then wear them in again. After another month or so you can like dampen places you want to crease with a spray bottle and wear them wet. I've gotten mixed results wearing the jeans damp to set I creases. And I think you're better off doing that after wearing them a while then right off the bat.

                  That’s dedication to sleep in them, [mention]Filthy [/mention] Mike. I heat up so much when I’m sleeping I could probably sweat up some of those amazing fades the guys get in SE Asia.

                      It is is extremely interesting to me how the denim is laid out on the right leg of these jeans. The vertical selvedge is in the usual position but the twill on the back of the leg is running parallel to the inseam. Completely vertical near the seam but the twill runs at a 45 degree angle on the front panel

                        Left leg of my 777N do the same thing, back-side twill lined up in the same direction as the pant at the crotch and rotating to be aligned with the front-side RHT as you go down the pant leg. Hits this alignment around the knee.

                        Think it, be it.

                                They will be fine Mike. I am about to start wearing mine more looking at the progress photos. I have been wearing my 19L and Pronto slubby. I need to slow down on buying new denim. Cant wear them all

                                  I know what you mean. I'm going to start wearing the jeans the forum bought me next week probably.

                                      Thanks. There was a TON of blue dye in the tub after they were done. There was only a yellow tint when I soaked them the day Luna died… This is the most due loss Ive seen on a pair of mine after a wash. The no spin setting does not drain the washer completely and you need to rinse the soap off outside the washer.
