Ok I am pretty surprised at the way the 21oz is ALREADY showing signs of fades. Nothing to write home about but they have color popping thru on the whiskers, honeycombs and wallet. They are extremely abrasive so anything that rubs against them has immediate affect on them.

I found the back pocket fade to take awhile. It's been a year and 4 months and the corner of my wallet fade is finally starting to bite through the fabric.
Knee ripped from horsing around.



Yea I had the same issue when I was using a mid sized wallet. I have since switched to a small card wallet which fades faster because it causes more abrasion. Not that I was looking for faster fades but it does do the job if that's what ur looking for

Oh yea man...they look great. I thought I was seeing things. The denim on these will quickly be known for their fade qualities



On a side note how are the fit on the chinos? I like the idea of skinnier hems and those seam to have exactly what I'm looking for.

Yea I made the same mistake. That's why I grabbed them in a 33 as well plus I needed a competition pair for the heavy weight competition 2. Get some fit pics up when u have a chance F***city. U lost ur button already? Every time I button these it feels like mine are ready to pop as well. I bought buttons off eBay u can hammer in place. The buttons I have replaced have been fine so far

Where do u get ur hemming done? I need mine done as well. I had a pair of IH 666 xhs hemmed in the summer but almost fainted when I got them back with the original hem sewn on and the selvedge edge screwed up. They look worse than I could have done

i never noticed 21 Oz is LHT. I think that is the one fact of fast fading.
How come, your buttons were easy to pop out? are these so tight when ur first wear?
But their metals feel so cheap even u compare with MoMo.

It all depends on what size range u are in. In a few of the size ranges some of the measurements are the same or a tad different. If u are worried about the leg measurements and u are thinking of a tagged size 31 then I think u can size down to the tagged 30's. But like I said it all depends on what ur normal problem areas are.

Oh and as for ur stretch question I have never done more than a size down on these and they have loosened up enough for me to be quite comfortable in them but then again there wasn't much stretching needed in the first place. I believe these are not as forgiving as other denims like say apc's
