Bumping this from the bottom of the last page because I just picked up a pair of these (in leiu of the 9634, which was out in my size) and I gotta say that having (briefly) owned a pair of the previous superblack cloth in the form of the skinny superblack, this denim is softening up terrifically.
Riding about 15 miles a day to and from a second job has really started to break them in, the best part being the lack of evolving a saddle fade.Though it's never been a big deal on my other jeans it's nice to own a pair that'll change minimally. I cannot wait to wash these babies after these two hellish weeks to experience their sweet caress. I truly am amazed out how these felt out of the box and how they feel now. 
I think the zipper acent really nice also, cause I was definitely skeptical. I think zippers could even be said to have their own 'tone'. This thing sounds like dragging a stick along a series of stubby rod irons.
