appfaff

black jeans fade, they just don't really get fade patterns, it's more of a vintage looking worn look, so no real need to worry about wearing for a long time before first wash. From what other people have posted, a hotsoak will not really do anything for N&F since they are sanforized, except maybe your inseam will shrink a bit. A hot soak might shrink them back to their original size, and maybe like a 1/4 of an inch less that, but I woulnd't expect to get 1.2 or even a full size worth of shrinkage out of them. Just wear them hard, and see what happens is my best advice

Jobes is right on with his idea.

you could also soak everything except the waist, wear for a couple weeks,a and then soak them entirely. Some guys did this for the Denime contest and got good results.

I hope they re release those wranglers those are my samurai grails.

spoken like a true Texan Alex

I would love as pair as well

yah, the question was a few posts back, but it was weather i should keep them or go up a size. Haven't taken the tags off because I think i'm going to return them.

If you are going for a slim/ super=slim look, then these should be fine after they stretch.

what size are you/ what size are those??

maybe the 21oz that I ordered won't be as big as I thought they were going to.

I'll be sure to post pics at the end of the week. My thighs are kinda big, so I knew anything under that 12.5 mark might not be a good idea. haha.I really wanted a 33, but 34 was all they had.

what size did you get appfaff and what size waist are you?

I got the 34. My true waist is 34.5-35 and since these measure 36 brand new, I'm afraid they will be a little big after stretching. They have a kinda low rise tho, so hopefully they will work. I don't think I could have gone down too much more for the thigh region tho.

I'm pretty excited about them

they're deep indigo. wish they were 21oz...

I just ordered the last pair of 21oz from BiG:D . I think they will be too big, but hey, I sure hope they work out. I couldn't bring myself to pay for the 21oz Samurai, so these N&F should be an ok compromise in my opinion.

thought I'd cross-post from a WAYWT from a few days ago.

Greycast Ralfs.

nice ralfs! I love the electric blue that comes through the creases. +rep

damn...looks like quite the party. I remember my senior thesis, and the celebration that occurred. wait...i don't really remember?

good choice of whiskey. Woodford reserve is delicious! Elijah Craig 18 year is my bourbon of choice...but i prefer to stay on the other side of the pond with a good Macallan scotch whiskey. cask strength if I can find it....

very nice choice sir with the mcallan. lately, i have just stuck to jameson when dealing with anything other than bourbon. I've started to like glenmorangie when dealin w/ scotch tho

So, in celebration of my friends and I being done with our senior seminar, which is the big project you have to complete before graduation (even though I (we) don't graduate til may) We had a little celebration.

Before I went over to my friend's apartment, I had to stock up (aka fill my flask) with the good stuff, Woodford Reserve, my favorite Bourbon (even beats out Maker's Mark IMHO)

When I got to the festivities, We quickly devoured some cheap champagne, and the amazing spread (took the pics after most of the food was gone)

Here's the cheap stuff we drank b4 I started on the Woordford (in the glass next to the empty champagne bottles, ha

This was my favorite dish. Ciabatta Crustini+Bosgue Pears+Brie

shot a WAYWT, please excuse the girly rug and shower curtain

we had to ghetto-rig the IPod player with my Gerber Knife. southern style, haha

All in all, fun way to start off the weekend.

they would look even better with a 3" cuff.

I completely agree!

Kiya said that they would have a slight taper which is what I'm actually hoping for but we shall see....

I'm actually trying to go for the anti fit jeans this time but I'm a slim guy in general so I would like to hope that these fuckers will work out in my favor.

I bet they will work out great for you. I'm a bigger dude, so almost everything ends up being a fail for me. Nothing ever fits me well, haha.

Based on the measurements they should be a little slimmer than the 66xx, mostly in the thigh. I'd guess they would fit fairly similar to a Flathead F380, SEXSC06 (with a lower rise) or maybe Skull 5507xx, although those are slightly looser in the thigh in my experience.

I agree, the SExIH07 should be a little slimmer up top than a 66XX, but the IHs are going to less tapered.

You are right about the thigh as well, I only compared a Size 36, both measure 13.5, but on the smaller sizes, the thigh is smaller in the IHs. Good lookin out

great fit on the skulls shego, +rep

Haha, that stuff tastes like vinegar!

haha, it's a little hard to get used to, but I got myself into them slowly. First the really sweet ones, then some of the more hardcore ones. Now I like them all.

One of my mom's friends said they taste like "Berries and Dirt."

I can't really disagree. ha

Nice fit over all -Z-, can't rep atm (Must Spread).

What N&F, "Skinny Guy"?

Woke up and decided to try to wear one of my old pairs of denim, not sure if it was a success tho, they are still pretty tight.

Wasn't feeling too good, and I have a big presentation tomorrow and had to practice all day, so I tried to remedy the situation to the best of my knowledge, with my favorite Kombucha Tea drink, SYNERGY

(goofy, trying not to look sick face)

I really like these things

(my lil' brother collects the bottles, so I save mine for him)

Went and practiced for my presentation tomorrow.

We created a spokesperson for a "Green" organization on campus. Super goofy, super fun project. His name is Cardboard Mike , haha

I saw this poster on the wall in our Library, thought it was fitting since I was sick, and also, the comments were pretty funny.

After we finished practicing, I went back to my dorm. They decorated the trees in our courtyard, pretty cool i thought.

Now its time to get some sleep and give our 1hour presentation on our 115 page paper in the morning. what did I get myself into, ha

Cheap, is that your new Big E jacket? Looks great ("Must spread rep" tho)

changed it up and wore some super-slims today, not sure how I feel about it. haven't worn these jeans in a long time, mainly cause they haven't fit me again til recently

nice fit Jobes, no rep left to give .

Yeah, those Labs seem to run very different than the regular Joes. same size is actualy bigger in waist and longer in inseam. LabJoes are a great choice.

Lendo, really diggin that vest and those shoes.

What's the vest? My dad has an old LL.Bean with Vintage tags that looks very similar,

I tried to steal it over Thnksgiving, but it was too small for me since he is like 5 inches shorter than me. how we're related, I have no idea.

+rep

I know there's a slight taper to them. Of what taper from what jean would you compare them to?

I could be completely wrong, but from the looks of the measurements on SelfEdge, the fit should be a in between a Denime 66XX-Type and XX-Type. Best example I can think of since I have the measurements for the Denimes in front of my ATM. Of course, the IH will have lower rise, since it's not a repro fit. someone else could probably give a better example.

Doesn't edmond get the jeans now? interested to see what goes on in his world

naw, one more American rockin these. Durrty Boy from ATL's turn with 'em. I can;t wai to see an Atlanta tour. so close to me, but so far.
