Just ordered a pair of these. So damn excited! Had to bump the post

[jmp777]

Anyone with these done a soak prior to first wear?

@jmp777 I wore mine from the get go. Washed them about 6 weeks in. The jeans are sanforised and one washed so you should be good to go

Thanks! I’m wearing them today. So crispy right now! Love them. The hues are crazy and the hem has some white on them out of the bag.

@AdamJ @Crispy-Heron : I hope its okay to tag you guys

What's your experience with stretching on those ? Or even washing ? I know, I know, all is on the info page, but experience vary in my limited experience.

I'm really asking this because I own the 14oz indigo and its very pliable from the start; it will shrink somewhat with wash but will stretch out good.

BUT I also own the 14oz bb, and this feels very different. Granted I have only worn it a few days, but the black denim feels so much tighter, and after 3 full days in it, they barely stretched 0.5 inch in waist. Not sure if washing would make them more souple.

@AdamJ : Do you think the 14oz ii is more similar to the "bb", or more to the "normal" indigo (if you own them off course) ?

Thx guys ! I think I'd like a double indigo but I'm between 2 sizes really for this one on some of the measurements

Hey man @Slash no problem at all.

I have (or have had in the past) the 555S-14ii, Black/Black and currently wearing the 14oz Broken Twill in regular indigo.

I haven't had the ind/ind for a while but from memory they stretched about 1" as I expected. I washed them regularly but they don't shrink given they are already sanforised and one washed.

I agree that the 14oz Black/Black that I have definitely felt tighter, I can't tell you why that's the case. My 14oz broken twill is by far the most soft/pliable denim of the bunch.

You will get some stretch in these but I would personally rather have 0.5" too much in the waist than too little, can always belt up and be comfortable! I think I was too conservative with my 14oz BB and now they are quite tight throughout.

For washing I always do:

inside out and get them wet/soaked through
washing machine, 30c, little or no spin
turn right way out, drip dry

@AdamJ : Thx man for the swift response

Ok I think I have also been too conservative on those bb, and might need to order another pair and sell the one I have

The problem is ordering stuff when you have just lost some weight
Next time I'll wait to be more stable with my body

But I think my next "blue" denim will be a double indigo

These are going to be my summer faders. Only wore them 3-4 time last fall winter. 4 days straight now and I love them.

@Jord thanks! Loving these. Such a cool hue to them.
