@darbycrash - I didn’t get much shrinkage really and I think I got quite a lot of stretch. As such I am pretty sure that after some wear I was back to around it was pre-wash. That is to say it cancelled the shrink out.
On GG - I am an old fart now but remember reading about GG’s exploits in Maximum Rock n’Roll and got the ROIR tape of his stuff in the late 80s. Then he died! Can’t say I was a huge fan of his music - as you say post-Jabbers it was pretty awful but full of attitude (and dare I say, quite amusing). Just a pity I never get to see him play live - think it would have been quite an experience.

@Crispy-Heron cool man yeah ive said it a bunch before already but i think i may have been a little too gentle in my initial soak/wash with the jeans so ive been thinking i will do a pretty hot soak for my first "wash" post the first one when time comes and hope for the best, because ive got a ton of stretching in the waist. i dont think i care if the fades shift a little, is what it is. this is my first real pair of raws so i figured i was gonna make some mistakes, love em either way.
haha yeah man i would have definitely gone to see him live had i been old enough when he was still kickin. you much of a roky fan at all? 13th floor elevators?

@darbycrash - I have listened a few times to the elevators and quite liked their thing although I think I need to go back to them and Roky. In fact, have just listened to the Evil One and liked it a lot. Any recommendations as to where to go next.

@Crispy-Heron personally I would start with "the psychedelic sounds of..." then "easter everywhere" and go from there. i love the later stuff as well but i think starting with the classics is always the best way to go. "bull of the woods" was the last LP from the classic era and that is a really controversial one, love it or hate it kind of thing. it grows on you but thats a good one to come back to after you've dove into the later stuff. after you soak those first 2 LPs in theres a couple 70's singles that are killer, like "mine mine mind", and the aliens stuff. then dive into the other 80's stuff.

I just got a couple pair of these to try from Withered Fig (IH sold out) I have them in the 777 and love ‘em. Really looking forward to the 555. Everyone makes these jeans look good!

Another all time classic in my wardrobe. In Canada, 21 oz denim is a key piece of attire, from October until May… or June!
