Merry Christmas

@alexpupin Merry Christmas–beautiful patch on those!

[GardenState]

Wishing I would have bought these. They were in my cart but I was being frugal. Now that I'm convinced the 633 is the perfect cut for me and the 634 is its close cousin I feel I have missed out.

Well, all is well that ends well. Happy new year, folks!

There’s always the non-anniversary 634S [emoji3]

Kind of makes a limited edition run a moot point no?

They are for Japanese release only I am afraid….

One of these days I will pick a pair up. But I currently have a pair of The Strike Gold 7104 that I received for Christmas and a pair of 555 SBG that I'm working on.

And there is the small matter of what fabric in the 634 (or 633 for that matter) would I choose. Too many options - not enoug legs.

Don't get me wrong I'm glad they are limited. Just sad I didn't buy when I had the chance.

[Salted Racer]

@GardenState I got the same SG pair for Christmas! Haven't worn them yet though.

[GardenState]

@Salted Racer They are pretty damn comfortable. And I assume the cut is fairly similar to the 633.

No it does not.  Haraki moved heaven and earth to get the ones we released in The West ready to release at the anniversary party.  He could not make any for Japan at the time because it would have risked us not getting them.  So he's righting that wrong.

Gotcha, makes sense. Thanks Giles [emoji1365]

Finally wore these today for the first real time. Picked them up at the 20th anniversary party and knew at the time that they wouldn't get worn for a bit, as I planned on spending the remainder of the year breaking in my 666XHS and 666SII exclusively.

Was going to hold them for indigo invitational, but I don't have the patience to document regularly with photos and submit everything, so decided to just get them started on 1/1/23 and have a nice clear starting point that I can easily remember. Planning on wearing them every day and seeing how they break in. Loving these so far!

@chrisjohnnick very similar story here (party purchase, start delayed to 2023, immediate love) but sadly every day wear is not an option for me. Enjoy yours - I'll be following at some distance

100 wear days, first hand-wash in lukewarm water, with mild detergent and sanitizing liquid.
No rinse, no tumble dry; jeans took two whole days to throughly dry in and out

No noticeable shrinking, no visibile loss of indigo compared to previous days.
The embossed cordovan patch lost some depth, though.

I’m developing some whiskers and back fades, next to no knee combs.
Let’s see in another 100 days

The 634 cut is extremely comfortable for my body type in the top block, while I prefer a slimmer leg size, like my 888.
I’d like to try the 666 cut out in the upcoming summer.

The 666 is the best of both worlds- slim and straight. I wish I had chosen that cut more often than others, I love the 666 and recommend it.

Thanks @Oaktavia,
I definitely have 666s in my wishlist and am looking forward to SS23 to choose the right fabric

21 oz is the best imo and those are looking great.  I like having a mix of fits.  666 is great and was my first.  Beatle Buster is the best though.    :-\

130~ days.
Pics shot during the weekly Sunday off-day, breathing in fresh air.

Whiskers are more pronounced than just a month ago.
Looking good!
Fabric feels softer and silkier with each passing day.
