@Mizmazzle jimminy crickets I'm envious. stellar choice!

@Giles what a beaut. Thanks for clearing that up!

@Giles I been wondering, what the hell is your avatar? Is it a Good Art HLYWD ring cut in half? Submerged in sand? I'm too daft to make heads or tails of it.

@Oaktavia does it smell? I feel like the antimicrobial aspects of wool make it able to go longer without stinking. At least for me. But I just looked at the description and it says "55% Wool, 30% Poly, 10% Rayon, 3% Nylon, 2% Acrylic" soooo I dunno how much that theory holds water. Or in this case, sweat.

I can't offer much in terms of relatability, I wear mine a lot, but am able to layer underneath it so not much of that stank has permeated through yet. But I'm sure whatever you do will look kickass so I support your thoughts on washing more!

A poem for you all.

Clinch makes some insanely beautiful boots. Seriously top of the line looking stuff, especially the Jodhpurs and Engineers. Would love to visit Japan and try some of their boots on eventually. Someday!

@dugafola that makes me feel better and less guilty about taking them off, thank you!

I love the way these guys are looking. They start creasing up really fast. I took off the metal toe caps because I was afraid to scuff up hardwood floors (and to be honest they were just plain annoying).

@FlavourFade sorry for the late response, yes seems very similar to the 21oz in terms of breathability

@GoodtimeJohnny hell yeah! these are looking awesome!

@Mizmazzle it seems remarkably similar to the 21oz, and yes I would say it does stretch like the 21oz, mine has also shrunk a bit as well too. I think I've lost about .75-1" in the inseam but I'm also a bit laissez-faire with my washing parameters

@roydub87 I think they look awesome! Those bad boys got a ton of texture to them. I also love the lighter color of stonewashed jeans, but I've always been too afraid to trying bleaching. I applaud your courage!

@Mizmazzle I don't know what size you are, but they're still floating around at some retailers like Self Edge!

@Giles Don't think I could have gotten a better compliment than that. Thanks Giles!

Another wash. I love these pants/material and to be honest I'm a bit surprised there aren't a lot of people putting work into the 21oz serge stuff that dropped last winter. These things are fade monsters.

@Go-For-Chill i'm supremely tempted by the S3000XX17oz-SDS, I've been thinking about it ever since I tried it on at self edge months ago, and if I've ruminating this long it probably means I should just buy the damn things. Have you gotten much shrink in the inseam or stretch in the waist with the murasame fabric? It seems like slubby and neppy fabrics stretch a bit more than normal denim but I might be wrong. How do you like your pair?

Another +1 to the 634 ride or die club. Well, the 1955 can hang too
