rok

Hey guys, my name is Eric (reddit: @rok_ IG: @rok__) and I live in San Francisco. I've been wearing raw denim for the past 9 years frequently favoriting Iron Heart, Sugar Cane, Warehouse, and 3Sixteen. These are my 2nd pair of black jawnz, first being my 21oz IH-21. Unfortunately, or fortunately, I've lost a significant amount of weight and all my old pairs from 2006-2012 do not fit anymore, so I've been in need of a new pair of blacks since then.

I'm into a lot of random things aside from clothing, I enjoy working on cars, riding my motorcycle, riding my bikes, photography, technology, music, and cooking. I do track my STi and find a way to frustratingly wrench on any vehicle I can get my hands onto. I also go to concerts fairly often. I work in mobile marketing, so I have to get my wear activities outside of my desk. 

Fit pix: 

I've had almost a month of wear into them. I look forward to seeing how they wear in more as they've progressed nicely in the past month. 

am i the only one that has had their pocket rip out on them..

worn fairly often since release. i repaird my crotch two times, and have a nice ballpoint ink stain on them. the wear is pretty soft for some reason, but they've come along nicely.. my stacks have some nice wear ridges on the ends near the inside seams.

post pictures when home from work.

btw what is a good way to get this pen stain out?! its only a day old...

man im so bad at this lol.. i stopped wearing these mid july because of extreme crotch tearage.. i was biking down a hill and ripped major havoc on the crotch of them. haven't had time to repair them because of new APCs, Sugar Canes, Marc Jacobs, and Crate Selvage.... ahhh times of dedication

thats it for now.. i have a couple pairs i don't wear anymore so yeah and most of them are torn to pieces from riding my bike..

i think next will be 21oz for sure

so my crotch blew out again!! so im sending them to either gordon or demin therapy..

you can kinda see my stack fades from the inside and my tracks on the bottom but this is my new tat (and my girls's new tat) and some wear pix

you can kinda see some side honeycombs and thigh wear in this pic.. natural daylight a little blown out.. not my digi cam

i cant figure out if this is photoshopped or not.

probably not, but then that means this is the most misshapen guy to ever grace 2 wheels

soooo photoshopped. unless he has some kind of muscle targeting pill that only targets his leg muscles

MURDERED OUT

dunno if thats good or bad but thanks

soo.. here's my updated pic of my bike.. kinda beastly i know

welp blew my crotch out the first day back from NYC, yipee! now i can skip the next rainy week in SF and get these babies repaired.. again

just leave it. i have had slurpee and starbucks vanilla latte on mine for the past few days. i drive really fast and its snowing where i am ... got good brakes though.

i just hate how chocolate cakes on and crusts doo doo like on denim.. maybe that be all fabric i dabbed the spot a lot with water at the gas station when filling up and its not sooo bad so i guess i'll wait it out. but then again i need to take it to the shop to get the crotch reinforced so i might need the soak before my tailor thinks i like to doo doo on my crotch

god damnit i got chocolate croissant stains to the left of my fucking crotch!!

thats what i get for being hungry, impatient, and commuting... time for soak #4

i should get put this picture in my back pocket or copy onto some fabric and make the other pocket lining this picture lol

What size are you? I'm 198, and I'm trying to see if there's a production range for sizes. Like, 180-205=w34-w38, just as an example.

well i was #2 and im a w38

45 minute warm/warm cycle. Shrank from 42x34 down to 38.5x32. I'm quite pleased with the fit. They're the skinniest jeans I own, but also the most comfortable right off the bat.

woot someone went with the 38 other than me!!!

mine are still a touch big on the thigh and waist.. lower leg is perfect.. i'll hot wash in a month then do a crotch and front pocket repair.

yeap i did, i kinda wanna do it.. interesting stuff..

Anybody else get the email from BiG about lightning magazine?! incredible.

i'll post pix up later but im taking pix on a weekly basis, and after looking at where cotton threads were coming loose on merzbot's pix im getting the same loose threads on the crotch and pocket areas.. also my leather patch has taken a beating.. so guess its not the contruction its the fact that these jeans are wearing in faster than any pair i've owned... but thats based on the fact that i've only had sanforized jeans.. i've got some wicked fading on my stacking and button ataris starting to show up too. i'll try to take pix asap but i like how its turning out so far.. just need to get some crotch reinforcement before i hop on the bike with these though..

my bizzike...

yes! i wasnt about to make it because i'll be in NY that week, but i get back the day before so sweet!! i'll be there and maybe i'll buy something if i have money left from splurging in NYC

ok so since i wanted a more tighter fit in the leg i did another 6 hour soak with my gf's nudies so as to kinda not really lose that much more indigo since i love the color so much. pix will be up later with the new fit... as they are hang drying now

i love how the hairs of cotton make it look like a blue-grey wool peacoat

Drastic difference between pre and post-soak fits Rok. Post-soak fit pics look real good though, man.

thanx. i think a little more shrinkage and it would be perfect. there was a lot of shrinkage after the soak tho. which i'm happy with. i dont want to walk around with balloon pants on again (high school was such a drag)

Here are quick shots of my Pre-Soak fit
