@Davids_denim heck yeah! Looking forward to watching your progress!

[goosehd]

@Davids_denim classic sharp!! Looks damn good

[Davids_denim]

@SKT Thanks man!
I kinda want to see what happens with 7 months no wash.

[Davids_denim]

@goosehd thanks! Gotta be honest though it was waaaaay too hot for the lefty lol

@SamD is 33 your usual size ? Like do you wear tag 33 usually on say 634s 21oz/14oz etc

[SamD]

@Damocles It varies from jean to jean, but I'm usually between a 33 and 34. The 18oz and 21oz denim tend to have a bit more give than some other fabrics, so my jeans in those fabrics are tag 33. For tighter woven fabrics like the 17oz duck I'm usually a 34, and I think that was also the case when I tried on a pair from the recent run of 14oz denim. Unfortunately, it's never an exact science!

Yes, no negative effects if that’s your question

Been doing this for a long time.

I have loved wearing these Vintage 18oz.
I had been wearing the 21oz for a Long time where the fading is really slow, so suddently on the 18oz I ended up with these high-contrast fades that I don’t really like so much.
I guess the only way to go now is to wash more often?

[Davids_denim]

@five-pocket these look great! How long have you been wearing them?

[five-pocket]

@Davids_denim hi, thank you very much. I was wearing them for nearly a year 3-4 times a week I think. Took a break from them, but now they are back in totation:) Iˋll be washing them more often now to even out the fades hopefully.
I see from your pics that you like the contrasts. Your fades are really amazing cheers

[Davids_denim]

@five-pocket that’s pretty solid fading for “part time” props to you sir.
I appreciate the kindness, honestly I’m just lazy about washing lol.

[five-pocket]

@Davids_denim Iˋm in a dilemma since I donˋt want the very high contrast fades, but I also think that the denim is at itˋs best and most confortable when they have been worn for a long time between washes.

[Davids_denim]

I think we’re gonna roll with the single cuff.
I love how this is starting to drape around my legs.

[GoodtimeJohnny]

@Davids_denim damn makin in look good, need to wear mine more!

[Tommyn7717]

@october-rust oh man that fade is motivating! just got my pair in the mail and can't wait to wear them.

[Davids_denim]

Man I just gotta say these are remarkably comfortable for 18oz. Feels much lighter in weight too.

How much stretch are you guys getting in the waist, measured flat, after washing and wearing them for a while?

My ideal waist measurement is exactly 45.5 cm (18") once the jeans are fully stretched out, using Iron Heart’s measuring method.

I’m guessing size 33 would be ideal after stretching? But I do like some roominess through the rest of the fit, so I’m really torn between the two..
