Looking good, solix. Don't give up. But I agree, they're slow faders for sure. I haven't really worn mine that much since I have a no blue jeans dress code at work, but they'll get more attention once school starts.

Before I got my pair, I was scared they'd be too tight, but I realize now I could've gone down a size (or two) seeing as there's way too much fabric in the crotch/waist. I know they'd shrink to a good size with a soak, but I don't want to have to keep soaking them constantly. Any suggestions?

Speaking of massive cuffs...

Can you post a link to the movie everyone's watching? Thanks.

I always wonder that, too. How does someone pare down their wardrobe and say, "Yeah, this amazing pair of jeans can go." I dream of the day I browse through a thrift store and come across such a pair.

Nice! What's the other pair next to the onis? +rep

Post-soak, worn for about a week. Fit is perfect. Sorry for the bad quality pics. There will be better ones eventually.

Thanks for the help. I'll be sure to post better pictures at some point. I, too, enjoy the bathtub ritual, regardless of whether I'm scared of too much shrinkage.

I just got these in the mail, still unsoaked, size 34, true to size. They're already pretty slim, even unsoaked. Do you think they'll be too tight? If I soak them, I'll wear them into the tub.

I just got these SEXSC06 in the mail, haven't soaked yet. Size 34, true to size. They seem slim already even before being soaked, and the story goes these are hella shrinkers. What do people think? Should I soak em? Will they work?

I kinda like the 'mushroom' look. Makes me think of Alan Grant from Jurassic Park.

@grouse allergy: They are a size 30.

So, you went true to size? I ordered true to size, myself, and hope they fit similar to yours, or maybe a little looser, even. I should be getting them Monday and will try to post pics, although my camera's currently batteryless.

How did you size on those?

What, you think he's smaller than 32?

Nice whispers, brummie. But even better 'stubble'. What is the actual name for the vintage semi-whiskers? anyone know?

Good luck! Post pics when you get them. You should probably post PRE-soak pics and get peoples' input.

The main reason I've been researching sexsc06's shrinkage is because I'm afraid of the thighs being tight. If you have skinny legs on the other hand, maybe it doesn't matter as much. Again, I don't have a pair, yet, so don't read too much into what I say. It's too bad there isn't a pair in 32 available for you somewhere. Have you looked around besides selfedge and denimbar?

I didn't check on denimbar, but if there's only sizes 31 and 33 as someone stated, you're out of luck. Unless you were to size up to a 33, which may be a good idea anyway, seeing as they supposedly experience a lot of shrinkage. I'm not speaking from personal experience, but I've been researching them since I want a pair myself. Good luck.

^ seconded.

MonkeyFresh, are you gonna post pics of your sexsc06's? I'm really interested in seeing them.

I don't have a pair, but I'm getting some (in a different size than you) and am just curious how you're sizing? Are you going true or up one?

Looking good for 4-5 months. I like the pocket repairs, too. Is this your first pair of raw jeans? +repped

Edit: Actually, I think I might've just given you gray rep. I've always assumed it's automatically +rep unless you click the disapprove box. I've never understood the rep system anyway. Either way, +rep in spirit.
