very nice
-
Looking good VO
SR with no soak? Not even an initial soak?yap … no soak ... I knew Harakis advice about soaking them before wearing ... but I wanted to leave them raw as long as possible ....
... and the problem with loosening thread at the pockets happened, like he said .... but I don't care about that ... -

These jeans shrink like crazy, and there will be a lot of let twist

van- what cause the round mark on your back pocket? i've seen it in few pics now.
hey jimmy … the round mark on the backpocket is from a box of Burt's Bees Hand Salve
another "trick" for a round mark would be a cap of a milk bottle ...

thanks for your informations Doug … I'm aware of the fact that there will be a lot of shrinkage and that's the reason why I'm sized up ... and there's enough space left ...
I'll let you know about the pre-/post-soak measurements when I'm (maybe) finally decide to soak or wash them ...
About the fade shifting or leg twist ... hmm ... let's see ...
it happens when it happens (who is this always saying ;))and before that ... I just beat the devil out of it !!!

I am just more confused. So people put random stuff in their pocket to get a round fade? I always thought it was some sort of common gadget that we don't get here

Great pics van, I dig the fact that you didn't wash them and just wore them, wish I could have done that
with mine.Regarding the round pocket fade, this usually occurs when people use chewing tobacco and store it in
smaller containers. -
I CANNOT wait to get my hands on those 634sr. I had pretty much given up hope on finding a pair of these in my size but I guess I lucked out! Will post pics as soon as I receive them.

Congrats blaster! Looking forward to the fit pics!

jimmy … don't be confused ...I think this is a general discussion ... what is random stuff in your pockets?
Keys, lighters, wallets, knives etc ... take a look in the pocket dumb thread ... what is necessary and who is making the rules ...
"unfortunately" I'm not chewing tobacco .... but I'm in use of all that "random" stuff I carry in my pockets ...
I need the comb for the beard, the salve for smooth hands (the ladys like that), my keys to get in the house and drive the car, the wallet for carrying some money ... is that ok for you?
some like it, some like it not .... live and let live -
^I can tell you … it was very hard to find a small round metal box that looked like a tobacco box with something that I can use everyday like a hand salve ...
took me a lot of time -
VO do you carry a zippo in the coin pocket? I can't put anything in there - too tough to get it out and anything in there wants to impale me when I sit or squat… front pocket openings on these damn tight.
yes …. I carry a zippo in the coin pocket ... I don't use it very often so it's ok for me
the front pocket openings are tight but I can handle it ... I guess it is possible because I did no soak
probably after the first soak and shrinkage they will be much tighter -
I'd be scared to wash those SR's to be honest… After all that wear and fading, only to have the denim experience significant shrinking and skewing, affecting both the fit of the denim as well as the placement of creases and fades, I myself would be unsatisfied with the outcome. I would not wash or soak those SR's ever if it were me van olzon, but that's just my opinion.
That being said, those look great, and thanks for sharing the evo pics
