21oz Shinayaka Selvedge Denim

These are looking sooo good. Coming along really well, and after a wash can you show them again?

….after a wash can you show them again?
Of course! I will hold off washing for a while as the temps in the house mean I do not sweat much and often wear an insulating layer under them (long johns). So dusty and grubby, yes, but not smelly. We a have a week or two left of carrying and disposing of crap, together with some tidying up before the contractors start. I’ll give them a wash them and put them back into daily rotation at my day job.

That sounds great. By all means keep giving them hell until you absolutely need to give them that wash.My 666-21s are nowhere near yours and ive been rocking them for 6 months now
I need a physical project to work on:) -
I’ve said it before but I’m going to say it again…
I CANNOT WAIT FOR THESE TO RELEASE!Thanks Rueben

@neph93 are those actual abrasions that could get holes in the honeycomb? or have they simply lost their dye all the way to the white cotton?

I think it is dirt

These look 'bruised' like the regular 21oz does when it starts to show some evo.

When they have received their first wash I’ll do a full comparison, but up until now the only difference is a very slight colour variation caused by the darker weft and the fact that creases take a little longer to form due to the stretchiness. Otherwise they behave just like 21oz when it comes to evo.

So the demolition is nearly complete and I the jeans were dusty af. I took them home and did a quick 40C wash.
Pre wash they looked like this:
Post wash pics to come but decent light is hard to come by.
I will say this, they are just as stubborn as the standard 21oz. The “bruising” @organisys mentioned is there, albeit subtle in its manifestation. There is light fading at the whiskers and honeycombs, and more marked fading at the abrasion points
They returned to super snugness after the wash but have been quicker to relax than they were when I first got them. Two days in they are close fitting but super comfy.
The creases and combs came back sharply and in precisely the same place after the wash, so they are ready for more abuse.

I'm stoked for the 777 version of these to drop !
If you ever change your mind about that shirt I will take it from you in a heartbeat
just saying -
These look great @neph93 - are they stretchy enough to allow you to do a full squat or lunge? Just curious…

They are for sure. I can provide pictorial evidence at a later date. But I wore them for many sessions of highly physical house renovations and found them to be excellemt work pants. They tolerated protruding nails, crowbars, ladder work and manhandling 50 cubic metres of crap out of the house.
@BD81 it is touch and go but I’m sticking with it [emoji1]

It looks like it fits you damn near perfect! I'm going to have to wait for the restock…
Hopefully it's not to close to the release of the 777 - Shinayaka lol

They are looking great @neph93 … just the thing I need sat at my desk typing :o
looking forward to seeing you do a full yoga stretch session in these
-
definitely interested in this.
-
The Shinayaka sample got rested in mid December due to my rapidly expanding waistline and thighs. My post xmas diet has started to take effect however and they are back in business. Really enjoyed being able to wear them again and the comfort that little bit of stretch affords.
Keep on finding small examples of evo and wear from their stint as demolition pants… this was left by a portruding nail. They are pretty damn tough.
-
Are they super comfortable? I am curious about how much give these have.
-
@neph93 Have they changed much measurement wise since you got them?
Depending on measurements I might try the 555 instead of the 888 when this drops
