Very happy with these after their first wash.
Never soaked, rotated about two years.

Never soaked, rotated about two years.

Just found this pair in the back of my closet. I must have given up, but I feel ready to take on the task.
How long does it take for the denim to soften up, I think 21oz could be too much for me. I have done 18oz several times, but the difference feels enormous.
I got a pair of 555-142 that I washed the other day for the first time after three years of rotation. They turned out really nice. The thought of bringing these that far is making me exhausted. But judging from the looks in this thread it also looks worthwhile

Sounds good, Giles. When do you expect them to be up for sale?
Turning 50 in march. Should be the perfect present from myself.

Will this one be made again?
Looks amazing.

Will I be rewarded by the gods of denim, Mr. Padmore?

These are the stiffest pair I’ve had. I feel the size is right, but it’s just hard work to break them in. They’re snug behind the knee, like they snap at me, and I feel the top button without the feeling that they’re tight to my b***. I haven’t soaked them. Will that make a big instans difference?
Everything else is fine 

Has anyone washed this jacket?
I hesitate to wash mine as I feel all the indigo will go … which is probably not the case.
I’d like to see a picture of a used jacket if possible.

I’m often in between sizes … so I’m curious to know if you think Giles could wear a shirt under a large, if it’s a tight og roomy large for him.

What size is Giles using in this?

Thanks a lot!
