@neph93:

@Giles now you mention it I remember you saying there was enough denim for a couple of hundred somethings… but the jury was out on the cut(s). Any decisions?

Possibly - 634, 555 & 888

634 please! with all the good details - lined rear pockets, tucked belt loops, selvedge fly, deeper front pocket bags

I'm not a 634 guy,but I can't help but think that 634s would be really cool in this denim.

I am a 634 guy  and yes a 634S-XHSib would be on my list

^ nice start

I am pretty amazed by how soft and comfortable they are now and how well they fit me. I have to slightly exhale when I button them. But they are just right.

[Jordonf9]

Glad you are enjoying them filthy. This is a truly awesome denim. Mine have grown to fit like a glove now and are super soft. The buttons are a breeze now, after about 2 weeks of pain ha

I certainly wouldn’t call mine soft, they definitely still have some crunch to them. So much so that I think the first wash will be in a bathtub. But they are comfortable now, and I can see how these will be like butter in about a year.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

When I say soft, I am speaking more to the surface of the denim when you stroke your hand over it. The hand. They feel like the finest silk, but are no means dainty. Mine seem to defy gravity.

[Jordonf9]

I'd consider mine soft all around. I have worn these every day since received and put them through some stretching play times with the kid.

Love those little pops of bright blue that start to form here and there.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Looks like Jordon is winning the fading race. Hell yeah dude.

Holy cow, what a wonderful pair! 
Damn it, in the last few months I've been trying to stay away from jeans, but I'm falling back into addiction!  ::)

[Jordonf9]

I'm thinking I'm going to do their first soak and wash soon. I'll be doing it in cool/cold water and drip dry as I don't want any shrinkage. I know they will stretch back out, but they so comfy now

Please do report back on shrinkage with a cold soak. I'm sure others would be curious.

[Jordonf9]

If I feel like it, I'll measure pre and post wash. This would be a pair worn for a month straight now

I posted earlier in this thread with both a lukewarm soak and a hot soak.

I did some measurements in the sample thread. I felt like it

[Paul9221]

Dang, you're both right.  Sorry, must've forgotten!  Still, more data rarely hurts
