      @twinning wasn’t sure what to do with the cuff yet so just went big for now. Yeah it goes really well with chucks

        I have literally taken off my 888 21oz bb non fade to black jeans and just put on my newly arrived fade to grey version and I am pleasantly surprised how much softer these feel. Other than the top button it feels like they don’t even require a break in period.
        They also feel somewhat stretchy too.
        Awesome stuff

          @Rustygate37 love this. Just did the reverse. Picked up the non-fade to go with the SBGs.

            @crollee nice one.
            I’d be very interested to hear your first impressions when they arrive to see if you too notice a difference.
            Either way I enjoy them both

              Decided I needed a pair of black jeans and picked up a pair today. This is my first pair of jeans in the 21oz denim and they do not disappoint.

              Given I got rid of all my older pairs of jeans and am currently working on a pair of 18oz denim, this sbg pair will allow me to wear most of my indigo shirts as it gives me contrast. My 18oz indigo jeans are not showing signs of fading yet to have enough contrast with my shirts.

              Just my own opinion but I cannot stand to wear a same color top and jeans that almost look the same color even if the texture is different. That is just me though lol.

                @Ral1121 couldn’t agree more. I’m not a dual indigo denim man myself.

                  @Ral1121 I am the same also. Got to be a noticeable difference in my jeans and shirt.

                      @Richard I don’t mind double denim is there is a noticeable difference. For me one or the other needs to be pretty faded to create the contrast. All my jeans look pretty much new lol as I am not hard on them. I usually only wear jeans to the office for a white collar type job. I sit at a desk most the day.

                        Got them in a few days ago and I’m surprised at how soft they are, even compared to my other 21ozs. Loving them so far

                          I have 14oz, but no 21,23,25oz. Seriously considering getting these 21oz in a size up, as a comfy warmer, thicker, pair for lounging around the house in winter.

                            @GreatDenimFan 21oz is my favourite, it's really comfortable and requires little break in (if any)

                              Hello! I’ve only got about 30 or so wears on mine (just got them from the most recent restock) and where the cuff folds has worn incredibly thin, on the verge of being a hole. Is this normal? I wear them with vans almost every day and I work indoors. I was just curious if this is normal for them! Thank you guys!

                                Where you cuff them will wear faster but that seems excessive after only 30 wears. When wearing them with your vans, do they drag on the ground when walking? This is my only thought.

                                  @cp23j maybe give them a soak to soften them up

                                    @cp23j Had this happen with other brands as well where the cuff is. Now I just regularly check the cuffs for dirt etc. Havent washed mine yet since they didn't get much wear during the summer yet. Might try soaking the cuff area only or something to prevent that
                                    My XHS started wearing in that area f a s t even tho I soaked them. Uncuffed would probably resolve it, but It doesn't really work unless I hem mine due to the length.

                                      @Ral1121 they don’t drag the ground, they just lightly rest on top of my vans. I wear them 8 hours a day, and I manage a retail store. So I’m not doing anything crazy in them
