      @dinobarnesberlin @Giles @AdamJ @grassfedyogi  thank you all…

      If they were regular 21oz today would have been a day with moderate discomfort, but I would also have expected them to "give" and stretch quite a bit. As it is they are not uncomforable in the least, but I can't grab much more at the back of the thigh now than I could this morning. My hypothesis is that the 2% polyurethane has a bit more fabric memory than cotton and resists the more permanent stretch than cotton has. That may well mean that the knee-bagging that @xtcclassic mentioned may not occur. That being said I'd imagine that some permanent changes will occur with time, it is after all still 98% cotton. I suspect they will just take longer and be less radical.

      @Giles:

      They look really great Reuben.  You're def not "trying to hard"

      No harder than usual at any rate  😉

        They look fantastic @Neph93 !!

        FWIW I have had plenty of stretch jeans fade - my “throw away” jeans I used to regularly wear to the gym when leading classes would definitely get fade patterns - especially if you wear them to the extent of their stretch abilities 🙂

                  Agreed, that’s a great fit @neph93. I’m 40-something and I’d rock that cut if I could.

                    Kinda disappointed you look nothing like the skinny legged bird with an exploding muffin top  😃 Great write up and first impressions on this denim Reuben. The particular way you described how freely and comfortable it is to move in them surprised me. Almost too good to be true for something of that weight. Can’t wait to see how they evolve and additional thoughts as you put in more wear time.

                      I guess everything is relative but I'm at the end of my day now and I've had them on for 17 hours. They do not feel like jeans I've worn for one day. They feel beautifully comfortable. As for the funny looking bird, wait until you see a profile shot  😃

                      @spitfiredealer I've thought of you regarding these jeans a few times today. I think they will make you very happy.

                      @Appfaff @Jett129 @Chap @Brock @YesBlank thank you'll gents. I'll be wearing them regularly and posting pics too. @Giles informed me that the release will be a way off, so there should be plenty of time for us to get an idea of how they develop.

                        @neph93 MashAllah , the denim don’t look skin tight and the hems are well proportioned. You look like well dressed high school teacher 🙂

                        Looking forward to your pictures . Now you have to rock this 22oz OD jacket.

                            Just curious….Do you normally wear jeans right out of the bag?

                                Great review! I have a good opinion now on this denim. Are there plans to do this in the other cuts as well?

                                  Thank you. The 555, 777, 666 and 888 will be done in this denim, I believe.

                                    You mean without hemming or without soaking? I normally have my jeans hemmed as my inseam is short at 31”. As these were a sample it wasn’t discussed. Regarding soaking,  I don’t bother if they are fully sanforised.

                                    @organisys:

                                    Thank you. I think this more forgiving denim makes a lot of difference. Visually it doesn’t give as many telltales that the fabric is too tight. Very clever really.

                                      Some pictures showing the jeans from other angles.

                                      No doubt that the creases relax a little over night, but they do not disappear. They are also rounder and fatter than what I’d expect on normal 21oz. I suspect it will make for interesting fades…

                                          No problems at all, although I don’t recall regular 21oz being difficult in that respect either. It has been a while though.
