these are nice. i have a pair of wings and horns black jeans that will probably turn out similar to this.

Thanks They've probably been worn around 6-8 months and I've washed them 2-3 times. I would wash them more frequently but I don't have a washing machine right now nor do I like the one I could use. I'm not really a nut about the whole "process" but the washing machines I've seen don't open from the top and I haven't seen it too full with water, so the jean just sits around soaked while it spins it around and I think that's what caused some vertical lines when I washed them. It doesn't really matter much because the lines have blended in. Here's a potential denim nerd reasoning that may explain the creases for all the fanatics: If there was more water perhaps the jean would be more supported and there wouldn't be so much stress at the crest of every crease when it is bunched up in the washer

they look great. i just washed my pipe legs tonight due to an errant slobberdog that ran into me at the park today (and errant bloody mary splashes caused by a mediocre alabama football team). you have any more pics?

I don't have a camera now but I can see if someone around the apartment can lend me one. If you like all of that Japanese true blue ****, you'll love these. You get the true blue fade without having "swamp ass and balls" as someone once put it, from heavy denim.

they look pretty good. just washed mine for the first time at the seven month mark...the results were less than desired. i wore these mine through for a pretty long time... until i got a job after graduating. the result was alright, but no great fades or anything (just some minor ones in the lap, knees, wallet pocket, etc). the seam on the bottom of the right leg is also busting...really don't get why, i didn't size down a great deal on my ps. good results, though!

They fit you perfectly, exactly how I would like my next pair to fit *me*. So that I might have a better chance of getting that kind of fit myself, may I ask what your height and weight is, roughly? And your normal waist size?

Those really do look fantastic. If there was a hat-tipping smiley, I'd insert it here.
tnx for the compliments. sorry, neglected to check here for awhile. vital stats: height= 5'11", weight= approx 180#, W33 on most TTS japs.

FCs were an unintentionally sized down W32. my aim was to go TTS. pre-ordered them in Dec last year, but put on weight by the time i got them late Feb. i was reluctant to start at first cuz they were already tight [pre-soak]. there wasn't much info on the denim used and i dint want to waste time+effort only for them to end up @supermarket. luckily, they stretch out quite a bit, so TTS to -1.

anyway, just a fare warning: they're a slow fader__ not really for the impatient ones. but, the denim is superb

in time, the denim softens up and develops a nice patina similar to the SDAs. BiG still got a few left. they're limited run, so i strongly advise you to get right on cuz you don't wanna miss out on this.

Warehouse x BiG x SUFU
These have been in and out of my rotation for since contest start 11.07. About a year of wear and a bunch of washes. Contrast is a little washed out from the pictures.

These are my '47 fits:

SD 101: sized up 1= W34 :: 1.5 y/o :: 3 soaks + 2 washes :: 5 mos effective wear :: status= on rotation

WH 1001xx: TTS= W33 :: still immaculate :: status= on queue [for next rotation]

SC 40400N: sized down= W32 :: wash x1 :: status= stuck in "holding pattern"

 

[mlyngard]

Since info and fit pics are lacking on these:

Dry Bones Red D. 29w (31.25"). Sanforized. 14oz per SE.

Post soak:
w: 30.75
r: 9.5
l.o: 7.25

Inseam shrank about an inch.

Just in. First impressions: listed as 14oz denim. Feels much lighter - lighter than Jean Shop or KMW. Possibly a lot of stretch to these.

Good summer jeans. Very smooth hand. Purple cast, deep indigo. No slub at all. Minimal shrink after hot soak and machine dry. Beautiful details. Great slim taper fit. Definite No. 1 for spring/summer wear. Major blue hands after post-soak handling and first wears.
