WOW! Those look fantastic!

On a side note, I've finally produced a small hole in the crotch; however, this is the motivation I've needed to finally get them hemmed. For those of you who had your crotch repaired at BIG, about how much did it run you?

Train tracks look good David. I'm actually excited about the Roo; however, the headliners are dissapointing this year.

Those look great!

I agree. I have yet to get my pair hemmed and the stacking just dosent quite work for me on these.

The creases have set back in, so I used the sunlight this morning to take a few more pictures. I did the math and this is day 118.

Those whisker fades look nice and deep!

Ha, the leg twist isnt as pronounced as it seems, I just didnt lay them out properly. I do have a good bit of twist on these though, especially the left leg.

Original wash and tumble dry (70% hang 30% dryer) on 11-2, hot soak and tumble dry on 11-8, and hot soak and tumble dry on 1-18.

To chicken and fookums, the jeans are looking great! I havent been able to wear these that hard and I'm definitely jealous of the progress on both pairs.

then you don't understand a thing about warehouse

Oh yea? Hows that Dat?

Love the arcs; however, I dont understand putting a Levi's tag on a Contest Warehouse pair of denim.

back in a month!

Yours are stacking quite nicely! I'm going to get mine hemmed bc for some reason my stack dosent look as good.

I hate that some of you are experiencing construction issues. My jeans are really solid. Other than a few loose threads I had to trim on the inner thigh, I have had no problems. I'm actually really impressed with these.

And feel as if you have obtained maximum shrinkage, what is your inseam measuring?

Sorry about forgetting to resize the pics.

My girlfriend had her holliday party for work at our place so here are some action shots after 11 days of post wash wear. Surprisingly enough, I've experienced less stretching than expected, most of which has occured in the legs.

Shoot Cheep a PM to get your name on the list. Posting just confirms.

I know a place where you can get a brown delicious to the FACE! You aren't a dirty New Zealander are you?

Ha! Love Flight of the Conchords.

Johnny: Great fit, might be my favorite thus far. I need to get mine hemmed in a bad way but Gordon's recent injury throws a wrench in that. Finding someone to do a chain stitch in Nashville is about as easy as finding a fruit stand in NY.

TFK: Nice fit and shirt. Let's hug it out bitch!

Ari is my hero.

I hot washed the jeans and they spent about thirty percent of their drying time in the dryer. Waist and thighs are a tad over BIG'S measurements. I'll probably give them a hot soak and full dryer treatment after a few days of wear to see how these bad boys are going to stretch. Here are some fit pics for now though.

Here are some raw fit picks as well. I'll post some more once they have fully dried.

The map is great CP. I think it would be cool as long as updating it does not consume you.

P.S. I grew up just outside of Dallas. I've spent a lot of time in Austin, great music town.

I'm going to have to agree with Cheep! I'll be getting minimum wear; yet, maximum enjoyment out of these jeans and contest.

Agreed! I'm assuming there will be quite a bit of trading going on with these jeans coming back a little bigger than expected. I already sized up a bit to a 30. So all you 29's out there make sure you stay in touch!

I'm starting to worry a bit about my size selection. More so bc I asked to have them hemmed to a 34 in. length for a post wash measurement. Obviously I'm fairly sure this voids my chance for an exchange on sizes. I ordered a 30 in. waist yet I'm thinking I may have to go with a 29. So if anyone decides they may need to size up from a 29 stay in touch!
