@TinMan factory length. I have long legs and usually like the look of a cuff. Keeping them long is also good on the bike too. This time I wanted to get in a good amount of fading on the jeans before setting in any cuff creases/fades. Kind of an experiment in strategy for me.
We'll see how it goes, I'm tired of wearing holes thru cuffs, so I may just let the existing hem shred, then get them hemmed down the road as a repair, idk. -
@WhiskeySandwich It's fun to have different pairs for different reasons. For example, I have my XHS hemmed high and cuffed, while my XHSib I have stacked and unhemmed. It's cool to have a variety.
-
@Oaktavia totally. I like mixing it up and have sorta assigned certain pairs to certain duties or occasions. There's a kinda overkill pragmatism that I use to justify more pairs lol
-
@WhiskeySandwich haha yeah buddy!
-
@Oaktavia @WhiskeySandwich totally agree fellas. I got unhemed for cuffing, and different hems for different moods! Today is a cuff day, I don’t ride but here lately I have been experimenting with a high water hem. Something I historically have never done. Kind of like a tool set, can never have to many..
@WhiskeySandwich BTW, the Fading wher the pants stacked is crazy cool! Like 3d looking!

Never tried a unhemmed stack, I definitely have more interest now!
Same here until recently.

@Elephantricity Last word on these was that there are currently no plans to run them again. Which bums me out because they're amazing.

Agreed. Bummer. I’m wearing mine now. So distinct, comfortable and awesome looking. And they fade like no others.
-
@drewfonse Me too, 80 wears today, no washes. I love everything about them, and they fit perfectly. They're getting buttery soft and the fades are coming in hot. I'd love to see some photos, man.
-
I’ll see if I can post some soon!
They don’t look as great as yours yet, probably 40 wears. But man. I ride my bike to work in them and I don’t have a desk job, so they are breaking in. And wow.
And when you really look at them in full sun? Dear god.
Glad I bought a backup pair, hemmed and wrapped up in my closet for 2-3 years from now.
Collector’s item as far as I’m concerned.

@WhiskeySandwich Greaseball! We must've crossed paths before, Im good friends with Barber Bubs and the Karb King guys.
Your jeans with 65 wears are looking great! I need to wear mine more, Ive been sticking to the 633-SBG and the 1955.
-
@atm23 Mobtown Greaseball? Was I wearing the shirt or did I mention it in a past post? It’s not letting me see the reference. Anyway, hell yeah! Trying to go again this year!
