I got another pair of the SJDBC from cultizm (super fast shipping). This time I got 33x34 which feels much better. My 32x34 didn't stretch much as I had hoped probably due to the 2% elastane.

FYI: I have HAND WASHED them in cool water with detergent. They didn't lose the 'shine' effect but some fades (light color creases) showed up. Once I wore it for a day or two; the fades are not that noticeable anymore.

Great f*cking jeans btw, my brother got the indigo and now I'm hoping to try the grey coated.

I was about 30minutes late from picking up a pair of dirt cheap acne max cash's awhile back from minya's sale thread. I'll just hold out and try to find a pair on the cheap as there's no way i'm paying close to retail. I have a pair of black waxed "Black Ring" denim now that i bought from sleazie on sufu that are pretty nice. I wish they were a bit longer and higher in the rise (ridiculously low rise) but they'll do till i find a substitute. I'd pick up a pair of thin finns but i'm not sure i'm going to like the really low yoke, low/huge pockets all that much so it's something i'd most certainly want to try on first. Plus, i don't think i want my jeans shiny. I'm curious to see evo pics of them though.

I find the slim jim not as tapered so I soaked them in warm water for a few minutes and put them in cold water to get a little bit of shrinkage. I don't want to put them in the dryer fearing the black coating would probably come off. It worked very well, and its not as tapered at my TF, just the way I like it.

I'm thinking about buying a pair of average joes or something a bit more straight legged and coating it with a thin layer of barbour wax dressing.

You think this would work?

i finally got a pair of TF DBC and was curious. i am between 31-32 in the waist and i got 31s in the TF DBC and the waist is sorta loose and the ass is a big baggy but in the 30s the thighs look like they were painted on. which i didnt like. (tho the waist was ok) just worried they might stretch out too much. what do you guys think?

As long as you dont stand all askew like that normally and fix the stacking, I think it looks pretty good.

That's pretty much how my TFDGC fit on me. Don't worry about them stretching out, mine never really did. The 2% elastane helps it keep its shape.
