They are sanfordized so I doubt they will lose any length, at the very worst you could lose .5 of inch

I'll post pics later on, my future father in law knows I am into jeans but somehow I think me standing out in his backyard taking pictures of jeans would make for an awkward conversation about the ins and outs of styleforum and I like to keep it to the whole 'the first rule about sF is you don't talk about sF'.

If you do decide to do it, make sure to at least wear some other pants while your KMWs are drying

How can I take you up on this offer? Those are some nice looking jeans.

For the record, these do not run true to size, but rather about a size smaller than tagged in the waist and thighs. It feels as though am basically wearing a 29. Tight, but not uncomfortably so.

What size do the uniqlo come in?

I wear a 34 in APC NS, how would you compare?

Polly, I am so envious of your fades. Love both of them.

I doubt my S5000BKs will ever look like that, but I hardley get to wear them. You had them tapered a bit ircc, where'd you take them for that?

I just bought myself some black denim. If they ever look as good as that I'll be ecstatic!!

my friend's nudies and mine. both regular ralf dry selvage

Lachy · Jun 22, 2009

ctrlaltelite, looking good. Sucks the crotch is dying, going to repair or retire? Oh, and how long have you been wearing them?

ctrlaltelite · Jun 22, 2009

thanks, i'm thinking of repairing, but the thigh is getting way too tight on me. right now i have these and a pair of nudies up in the faded denimz for sale/trade thread in the B&S forum. i might not sell them due to sentimentality and if i get them repaired. i'm also trying to phase out skinny jeans and the taper below the knee on this is pretty tight after you wash them.

i have had these for about 2 years now.

confurious - what are the measurements on those uniqlo jeans? and what's your height & weight?

whodini · Jun 22, 2009

Jean Shop Skinny These needs some more wear and I'd be more than happy to oblige. Picked up in mid-December, I tried being easy on them for the first four or five months as I grew fond of the dark color but I eventually gave in and decided to mistreat them the past month or so. Pre-soak:
