@Aries: I think the small cuff looks reallynice with your shoes and it's something different to the mad stack fades you mostly see on the S710 from other people.

But I haveto admit I bought my S710 also with the intention to let them stack... ;-)


On another note:
S500JX-LR on the way to me! Finally :)

i wore them for a solid 2 years, still wear them from time to time. but yeah, they don't look "great" until the 2 year denim has thinned out point, which is problematic. what repairs do you need? how many washes/soaks? i'm pretty much not washing mine for at least another year, as i don't wear them all day like i used to.

yeah, i will be interested to see how you bks turn out. i have washed mine like 7 or 8 times, lol. i wash often and mine have almost a year of consistent wear on them now. they need to have the crotch reinforced and have the hem area repaired but its nothing that cant wait. thanks for your help.
