Wow, honestly these are in the top 3 if not my favorite pair of worn jeans I have ever seen! I think this photo shows just how well they hold there indigo, yes they are faded to almost white in lap area, but by the fly where there is less abrassion there is still a deep blue, even after the washes and wear. Kiya, can I ask what soap you use for the washes? Thanks and again these jeans look truly amazing

I've never used anything other than Woolite Dark for all my clothes.

Kiya, I really like how you went to the effort of patching those. It shows some

have been giving my 106 NO love for quite a while. it's time to get them back out and hit it. hard to believe they went from this

to this

i have no idea what the history is right now. i think there were the initial soaks and then maybe 3-4 months of wear and i switched to something else. i think.... either way, i'mma start wearing these mugs again.

lonely RJB thread makes me sad... bored on a road trip

How much should the knee and leg opening stretch after the soak & initial stretching after said soak?
The 9.3 and 9.5" leg openings on the 32 and 33 straight leg models, respectively, seem a little large.

Also, the thigh is known to shrink .8" inches in the thigh during the first soak, how much of that will I get back with wear?

The knee and leg opening will shrink about .5" after a hot soak and won't really stretch out at all with wear.

They stretch pretty easily where there's pressure because the denim is made of a long fiber cotton from Zimbabwe.

Could someone point me to some fit pics of the 103BSP. I could only find
this one and the pics on the SelfEdge page.

Any comments on how the low rise affects the fit? Based on the other measurements, I would go TTS since I don't want the legs to be super-slim.

I would go true to size, they shrink down quite a bit and it's already a slim fit.
