Holy horizontal measurements, some impressive results for washed, sanforized fabric! Thanks for adding to the communal shrinkage-science, hope your pair still fits you as you like!

@AdamJ

have you worn them before the Wash? After compairing Measuremts I would say they coming back to the Point they start in the waist.

[Miiks]

You just can’t have enough black jeans/trousers/pants etc.. So I caved in and bought these

I wore these non-stop for just shy of a week before I washed them. The waist was tight post wash but stretched back out nicely. Can already see they're going to fade!

More photos please. Anyone?

[Matty123]

Any photos of evo??

Got mine yesterday. They're soaking in my bath right now to get rid of the shrinkage. These jeans feel extra heavy duty. I'll post measurements and a fit picture after they dry.

[Palmer]

Reporting back on shrinkage. I soaked them for an hour in my bathtub with the hottest water from the tap and let them drip dry. My results are quite different from @AdamJ. Barely any shrinkage.

Waist: 19.5 –> 19 in
Front Rise: 11.5 --> 11.5 in
Back Rise: 16 --> 16 in
Thigh: 13.75 --> 13.75 in
Knee: 9 --> 8.75
Hem: 8.25 --> 8.25
Inseam 35.5 --> 35.5

I thought for sure I would see at least an inch of shrinkage in the inseam and waist. They fit just fine so we'll see what happens after I wash them again in a while. I would like to get them hemmed but I'm going to wait and play it safe until I wash them in a machine.

If you only soaked them with no movement (agitation) then you’re doing right by waiting.  A machine wash with some spin or s handwash with some scrubbing will make quite a difference.

Any evo shots yet? And how heavy / breathable are they compared to the normal 21 oz denim?

@Max:

And how heavy / breathable are they compared to the normal 21 oz denim?

This is the same material as used in the 21oz wabash vests, just minus the spots. Based on the vests the material presents as more densely woven and heavier, but not quite as thick to the hand. I don’t think it breathes like the 21oz cell bitch does.

As far as fading goes, the black fades a bit like the SBG, the blue like standard 12oz wabash.

[AdamJ]

I have mine on today. Will try and get some fit pics/close ups shot.

The pocket/seat are has been fading but no way near as quick as the 555-03, looks a lot whiter in my opinion as opposed to the fading on my SBG. Not as breathable as 21oz as Neph mentioned.

Also, they are SO comfy.
