Hmm, I actually thought the exact opposite. I thought the first two pics were spot on; exactly PERFECT, and the last (5EP) were a bit too big.

But I guess this is why were are all different.

PS, the 5EPs look far from bad IMO, just not best.

lol yup, if the pic showed the full bottom 1/2 you'd probably see that they don't flare out, they are just tightening up around my knees...kinda like this guy, who has the exact type of fit I want. Sizing down was a must in my case.. even if I couldn't button the top button for a couple of days!

crazy man there was no way I could have sized down to a 30 from 31 on my sjs. they're a little loose but they were tight as hell to begin with. hard to do with a zipper I'd think, no?

Lol for the first week the top 1/3 of the zipper wouldn't close, and buttoning it was painful! I tried to wear them a little lower on my hips than normal to help stretch them and they would rub my skin raw!

I'm glad I put up with that for a few days because it is worth it over the duration of the time I own them... now the top button is still tight but not too bad and the zipper actually zips all the way

I just got these Nudie RR's from a SuFu member. I'm not usually a light-wash person but the price was right so I couldn't resist.

Again, I sized down from a 32 to a 31 and I really like the fit - I don't think I would have liked them if I got a 32. They will go will with my chunkier sneakers that don't work with my other light-wash jeans, APC Cures (shown below) - too tapered for anything but chucks or vans.

everyone knows the color of these are impossible to capture correctly. but these do have some serious fading going on....just hot washed and dried them on hot in the dryer w/o any soap last week as they stretched an ungodly amount.

been wearing these off and on since around august or so. But most of my time is spent on the samurai contest jeans.

since everyone else was adding pics, figured i'd add my 2 cents. It hasn't been sunny in philly in a while, so these pics aren't exactly how the color is. But it's a decent representation of the front fading. also posted pics of my blacks in the other samurai thread. I'm more excited about that fade...you can also see the tanner belt getting darker.

x-posted like 10 times.

**** poly, those are both looking awesome. The blacks are especially surprising.

yeah, i ******* love those jeans, but seriously they stretch like apc's. if people want a tight fit, size down 2, they stretch like a mother! I really want to start wearing my black samurai's full time, but that damn contest..they fade to white, not even grey. it's really interesting.

 

[coiol]

Those blacks look really good.

 

[ts4them]

Yeah, those black ones are a work of art.

update pics, wide range of lighting and **** for these pics....some outside with no flash, some inside with flash....blah blah blah pretty much 6 months [5.5-6] with 4 washes....one being a cold soak, two cold rinses and one full hot wash with a tumble dry

 

[west coast wonderboy]

steady going since august, doing first handwash today w/ bronners... we'll see how it goes

these mossimos have been on my legs consistently for about 6 years, washed a thousand times, worn right through the back from stepping on them too much...but what to do, they just so damn comfortable.

maybe ill buy some denim from the market, take it to my three dollar pants tailor and have a pair made identical to them

Do you still, have this jean ?

First pair of Canes (and the most expensive pair of jeans I've ever bought). Previously I was wearing Ecko/Rocawear/LRG/Artful Dodger; the Canes are a big step up for me (I got them yesterday). I need them to go with a suit jacket for a job interview this week, so I bought a prewashed pair and have already washed them twice. Letting them wear/distress would've been cool, but in my case I just needed something classy:
