what's good sufu, been a while

here are my N&F fire monkey super skinny guys after about 3 years of wear. i wasn't a huge fan at the start but i came around to the fit

 

Can anyone comment on how the fit of 005 compares with the 011? Obviously the leg opening differences, but what about the upper?

I don't have quite the awesome photo collection of other contestants, but here's my submission nonetheless. Unbranded 221, super heavyweight category (21oz).

 

 

 

it finally got cool enough in Hawaii to bike in my jeans

sorry for being totally MIA on this. I swear I'm still in it. finals just ended and summer has begun so I can really start getting back into being on here regularly.

I would try to show off Hawaii a little bit, but the weather has been rather poor lately.

 

 

More to come when the skies clear up.

My 1105's are really slow to fade. It might just be because I don't wear them all that often anymore, but I'm kind of starting to like how they aren't really worn out. Plus the texture of this denim is amazing.

 

Examples:

 

 

not exactly epic eats, and no denim at the time, but the girl and I celebrated 3 years together last night with a nice dinner. 10 oz prime rib for me, 7 oz garlic steak for her. (apologies for the poor quality, the place isn't that well lit)

 

 

 

 

and a little denim update.

 

 

Took a visit down to Santa Ynez valley for wine and beer tastings. Had quite a few interesting drinks, and quite a few drinks in general.

 

 

Started to get a little whacky in the middle of the second vineyard

 

they're sanforized, so they wont shrink much in any dimension. they stretch out in tight areas and shrink back with a hot wash or soak.

not a totally legitimate submission for challenge 3, but I decided to wear the 21s on my ride home today. in retrospect, it wasn't the best idea in 31+ degree heat.

 

 

excuse the yellow tire: I got a flat a couple weeks ago and never bothered to buy a proper replacement.

quick update post-wash

 

yo buddy any fit pic on the 1105?

 

I hope this helps a bit. TTS (size 29) 1105s. I'm not usually a fan of straight legs, but I really like these.

 

 

kindasorta great outdoors

 

looks like cander and I had the same idea. I had to stop and play a piano in st. pancras station on my way to France. way out of tune and some keys didn't work, but it was fun. excuse the awful shoes.

 

Pleasantly surprised to find this in my mail today. I was worried it wouldn't arrive before I left for France.

 

If you were going with the 011s, I'd recommend a size 29 raw, which is what I had and I love those jeans. However, I'm not sure how much stretch the 007/012 denim has (anyone with experience should chime in now). If you're ordering from BiG and don't mind incurring some extra costs, you can order one size in one wash and see how it fits, then exchange for a raw pair accordingly. That could cost around $20 extra though.

I can't wait to see the dirt challenges come in

 

It's not great, but...

 

Dirty denim day 2; removing creosote-soaked railroad ties from my yard (day 1 was just some sanding and painting, not actually that dirty).

 

 

 

 

 

I've still got some projects to do this summer so this won't be the last of the dirt these see.

I posted some pictures of post-wash measurements some pages back. Those are of a size 29, but you can get an idea as to how much shrink you can expect. But I'd say don't even worry about how much they shrink. They stretch a lot, so anything that's tight will loosen up pretty easily.

My pictures aren't as nice as yours, but that number is similar to what PBJ does: It's the cut of the jeans. For example, my 1105s:

PBJ and SG are the only ones I know of so far that do this, but I'm sure there are more.

Got the Denim Vault shirt here in Hawaii, and I'm pretty upset. First, the back does not have a list of sponsors; there is no print at all on the back.

Second, I ordered a small, and I was a bit worried by my package being marked XXL in the top right corner, but I was hoping for the best. No luck. This is how a "small" fits.

Not even close to what I was expecting based on the measurements provided.

I'm kinda feeling like I got cheated out of $55. I hope no one else has this problem.
