warren G, are you actually comfortable with how snug they are (look) at the thighs or are you expecting them to stretch out nicely?

Good point. For some people's legs they may be perfect. My usual quoted inseam measurement is 33".

Yeah I'm actually comfortable with em now. They will stretch out nicely.

Mine are dry and have worn them for a few hours so far. The fit is amazing, but just need to hem them a couple of inches. Will post pics soon.

Is the indigo on anyone elses jeans rubbing off onto other surfaces? Last night I guess i had rubbed my hands on my jeans a few times and then I realized shortly after that they were covered in indigo....

I just bought a pair of F310's, but im also considering getting a pair of these. My 310's are size 32 and are very tight in the thighs (I hot soaked the hell out of them) so I need some help deciding if 32's or 33s would be better with theses. I love the fit of everything else in my 310's except the very tight thigh. I also have a year old pair of APC ns size 31 and I love how they fit. Any size recommendations?

Get a size 33 in these and you'll be set.. if you get the 33 you'll be able to do a hot soak and not worry about them being too slim after the soak.

My experience with these jeans tells me this is correct. My 32s became very tight after the soak. I also wear a 31 in NS.

Update: I soaked mine again tonight (didn't really lose any more indigo), just to test out a theory, and I'm so glad I did.

One thing that was bugging me with these jeans was the leg opening. An 8.3" opening (which mine had shrunk to) just seemed way too large for the narrow ankle/slimmish fit, and was too big for many of my shoes, and after the soak its about at an 8" which is ******* perfect.

Awesome jeans. **** I want a second pair.

 

[Warren G.]

I agree...this jeans is amazing.

I was thinking about getting mine tapered so I could wear my favorite sneakers, but this took care of it. Now they're like flathead 3001s with better denim, a higher rise, a button fly, and mcuh better breathability.

I am wearing mine now, but I've been wearing the RRLs lately a good bit as well and they seem like they are fading more and more every day. I am completely in love with my SExSC06s, and I honestly don't think I could be more pleased. I got everything I wanted and more and the fit is perfect for me.

I'm starting to get slight whisker fades, how about you all?

 

[dfagdfsh]

Slight whiskering, some slight back pocket fading (I use a very, very slim wallet so its hard for me to get pocket fades), some defenite indigo loss at the crotch and on the back belt loops/pocket edges.

Slight combs.

 

[xchen]

These seem like they'll probably fade pretty quickly. I am hoping to have a lot of wear showing by the summer. I'll be rotating these with one other pair.

 

[Johnny_5]

I am seeing some fading but I haven't been wearing these enough. Is everyone elses jeans very soft? Mine have lost all the stiffness they originally had before the soak, so creases havent really set in.
