      @Denimhead-0 those fit you far better than my pair does. Smallest top block ever! The denim is awesome though, super tuf

        @WhiskeySandwich Yup im experiencing exactly the same. But coming from the regular 21Oz i know how to deal with such “late developers” haha 😅

        Use it or lose it.

          Combs are coming along ok, and some first small signs of fading at the back pockets.
          The lighting makes it appear a bit more prominent than in real life I'd say.

          Haven't missed a day so far. Great jeans.

                @Denimhead-0 Are those the "gauntlet" denim? The ones i had were super tight and tough, very rigid and pretty uncomfortable, especially the top block on the slim straight. I really do like the fabric though, if its the same as what I have. They broke in pretty nice though. good jeans for hard work.

                  these are the 22oz Sumo, slim straight, a little larger in the top block then I expected. I typically wear 35’s in the waist, these are 36 so a little loose.

                    @JunkPants JFC, that’s a lot of indigo lost in less than a month of wear!

                      @BlueBlood Keep in mind these are SBG, and the lighting is making it look more dramatic than it really is. I'll try to get some pictures in natural light next time.

                      I'm always a slow fader, and fully expect these to look like a pristine pair of superblacks by the end of it 😁

                                I just submitted the January update:
                                So far I've worn them every day from getting up until going to bed and I'm really happy with them. They became very comfortable very quick. I really expected a longer break in period....

                                  I agree @maxximum, the XHS isn’t that tough of a break if you aren’t trying to get stretch out of them. I found the 19oz lefty to be a lot rougher to break in than the XHS.

                                    First submission in the books. No days missed so far.

                                    Love these SBGs.

                                      First month done no washes or soaks yet. These are now very comfortable to wear all day. My job is 50 percent working on a computer (which I hate) and the other 50 is examining and testing welding.
