I got you mayne! So Fit Flicks… I am going to get them up today but I am just not happy about the current Hip Flare. I know it will go away but they just look odd at the moment. Massive Knee Boner's as well. I am debating another soak...

Fit Flicks (Post-Soak)…

Ahhh, that dreaded hip flare people seem to hate. Ehhh, i think it looks fine man. and the knee boners! NOOO!!!! that is the single biggest reason i dont put on my jeans while they are wet. i let them come in naturally… but thats the trade off cause they are a BITCH to stretch when dry. anyways, i think the fit post soak looks dope man!
-
Thanks DEP! Yeah I put them on too soon. I guess you could say I was a bit excited to get them on…
-
ehhh… its not like the jeans are meant to stay crispy and new forever, so fuck it! its a head start toward the knee and thigh fades soo coveted in our niche world! hahaha
-
Yeah I am not too worried about it. I will wear them and they will mold to me just fine.
-
Right on brotha!
-
Actually, fuck it. They are gonna get another quick luke warm soak and a COMPLETE hang dry and then they will be set for NY.

Well, do jeans actually stretch more if they are worn wet?
From my point of view the stretching abilities won't extend when they are wet, the stretching just will occur faster. So even if Lando would have worn them when totally dry, they would have stretched the same amount after a few wears.That could be total crap though. Any other opinions?

When the denim is wet it is more pliable and that's what happened with his knees, he probably sat down and it formed over his knees and that pushed the denim forward thus giving him the knee boners. Haha, that's a funny term.
-
KNEE BONERS… I might even change my screen name to Knee Boner it is so crucial! Yes DEP you are correct. I am no expert but Cotton is mos def more pliable when wet. So are most things...

Thanks for the info..that explaines the hipflare. Reminds me a lot of the SC 66 fit..roomy ass area. Regardless - after a couple of days they´ll fall and sit nicely…

True that Beats! I will be wearing them all day on the plane tomorrow to begin the breaking in process. Possible WAYWT flicks with Vinneus tomorrow night…

Hey Lando, did Kiya explain to you the difference between the xx denim and the xxx denim? or if there is any big difference. From what i know, the patches are gold foil stamped, but i am unsure about any other differences between the two…

Most natural fibers will stretch and bend more when wet. Totally normal. Tailors use that to their advantage to shape shoulders, sleeves and waists. Hats are steamed into shape. When the fiber is dry it stays in that shape. That's why shrink-to-fit and wearing your jeans till they are dry does help to get a slightly more customized fit.

Wearing your jeans gives them a more customized fit. And till, I agree that an unsanforized wet pair is more apt to mold if you put them on while damp/wet, I'm just saying that knee boners are extremely pronounced when you try doing squats and all that shit while the denim is wet. Its kinda like rushing a progress, and while some people favor the contouring, I'm not the biggest fan.
