@weftyarn awesome

[WhiskeySandwich]

@weftyarn great googly moogly, your denim has evolved a vascular system! These sbgeez are looking genetically superior. Mine are at a mere 117 wears and not half as faded. Love em!

[BloodOnTheBanjo]

Can’t wait for the restock of these. Some gorgeous fades here!

@BloodOnTheBanjo Hopefully, around August/September next year, we will see these bad boys back in stock for the 888s

@WhiskeySandwich that is amazing for 118 wears!!!

[EdH]

I agree! I'm rocking around 250 wears on my most heavily worn pairs and don't have a single comb to speak of (but then I sit at a desk for most of the time I'm wearing them).

[WhiskeySandwich]

Thanks @Oaktavia and @EdH !
These are my chopperin’ hard rock pants. The black hides the grease well. Maybe the combs come from my drumming? Any drummers here have similar effects? One thing I’ve noticed about riding motorcycles is the heavy butt crotch crease that wears pretty fast. These are fraying already unfortunately, you can see that white streak there. I think I need to wash more

Hi!

I’ve got a pair of size 33 14 oz bb 777s that fit great other than too low a rise for my taste. I found a new without tags pair of 21 oz black 888s in size 31. The waist is small but everything else looks good. Should I buy? Will they fit?

My size 33 777 have an advertised measured waist of 34. These 888s are a 31. But should hit higher… I’ve also heard these gain a lot in the waist from stretch…

[Giles]

Get the measurements (make sure you know how the measurements are done) and then compare with your 777's. Anything else is conjecture.....

In for a third wash

[RJScheuerle]

@goosehd yeah, I’ve looked at the measurement charts. They’re all fine except waist as I said - so just looking for the real world appreciated stretch in the waist.

[goosehd]

@RJScheuerle We aren’t able to help you unless we have some measurements which is why @Giles suggested measuring your current jeans by the Ironheart Method. I posted the video on how to perform those measurements.

Once you have that in hand (measurements done the IH way), then we can give you some guidance on if they would fit or not.

How much will the jeans stretch…maybe an inch to 1.5 inches. Will they fit? Unknown without some baseline information.
