  1. update on my black APCs, at about 6.5 months. One warm hand-wash in the kitchen sink with a small amount of trader joe's store-brand equvalent of dr. bronners and then hung to dry at about 5 months. I wear them only as work jeans. Stretched out like crazy (wish i woulda got a size or 2 smaller!), but still i like them.

    p.s. the left back pocket fade is from my MP3 player. Its small and circular (sorta a half sphere shape) and fits perfectly in a back pocket.

    looking awesome jwied82. i still remember how you got lucky with these APCs on ebay.

    wish i can get my hands on them. but seems like they are limited run or something.

  2. yeah like most people here, after spending most of the time in button fly jeans i would forget to zip up when i'm in shorts.

    but i think buttons are cooler not only because of the fade on the jeans, it feels damn good to rip your jeans off.

    in addition there are different kinds of buttons with engraving or embossing.

    but zips are usually just YKK zips.. i mean on jeans.. right?

  3. any opinions on the construction and details of the denime low-rise 66? not the XX model...which i know is supposed to be pretty good.

    hey tweedles,

    maybe i can help jeffvyain a little here.

    i PMed him a few days back on the fit of the denime low-rise 66.

    here are some extracts from our conversation:

    "I sized them as a normally do with nearly all pairs of jeans I've bought in recent years, which is a size 30. I have a measured 32 waist, so that should give you an idea of how I normally fit them. All I can compare them to really my size 30 S5000vx and my size 28 New Standards. They were slightly smaller in the waist than my samurai and a little larger than the NS raw. They fit tighter in the thighs than the sams, but they had a lower rise, though not by a whole lot. The only thing I didn't like about them was how they fit tight in the thighs and then in my lower thigh, they loosened up and were boxy around the rest of my leg.They were tighter in the ass than the sams and the leg opening was about halfway between the NS and the 5000s."

    hope it helps tweedles and hope you don't mind jeffvyain, thanks again man.

    About sizing down on the Dukes

  5. That brown was probably the strartch/sizing rinsing out of the fabric.

    Pretty common, actually.
