First wash (50 degrees) on my type II. Also gave the 1101 another wash... and had to do a thread repair. Not sure what to do with them after summer...save for next summer or wear till theyre done?

So - is there concensus regarding the inseam shrinkage on the EX models? I'll try to get my 1108 EX hemmed this Weekend and wonder how much I should have taken away. I will try laundry store washing and machine drying to shrink them to size, so i think i should calculate 3" shrinkage?

Thanks @Niro Just to be clear: were your jeans hemmed or did they shink over 3"?

@jewellben Roughly two hot washes and a dryer before wearing them. This should result in major shrinkage and nice roping. Most pairs I got recently were tight fromthe start so I had to be more careful wwen washing them,but this one could use a similar treatment.I just hope I don''t screw up the nice patch.

I think I'll enter with my 1108EX.

^what size is it? The wide leg is throwing me off a bit, but if I try Aho's System I might be able to shrink them down to my liking.  If you happened to have a 36 I'd be able to compare...Maybe the inseam length would already help as indicator how much shrinkage is in them.

What 800 in Heidelberg. Pretty city and like the definition of a german idealised town. We went there for an engagement photo shooting that I won so I decided to bring my favourite faded jeans and the one I wore when I proposed.

More fake German villages. Only relevant piece is my warehouse 800.

I was surprised that the 1101 is not much smaller in the waist. But the thigh and leg is wider. I think with a very hot wash and dryer they'll be good.

You couldn't ask for a better fit! What I love about type IIs are the broader shoulders...so comfy!

Hmm. The whole packaging is great and the denim lovely. But they're big. Really big. Will take fit pics later but unless they shrink 10% (like the size charts suggested) I won't be able to wear them. Any experiences from other owners?

The arc on my 1101. And, more important, i finally hold the 1108ex in my hands. Will open the package tomorrow and share some pictures and stuff when I find time. Now let's hope they fit!

Love patches on vests, but not on jackets.

Just in case you missed it - there's a nice interview with fellow @volvo240thebest here:

I always log in to superdenim directly, so I almost missed it.

First I'm gonna paint my fingernails.

Nothing denim related, but I hope to find some Input from you guys. I already got my (navy) wedding suit, will pair it with my oxblood trickers and navy/oxblood suspenders. I have a formal bowtie in red, but need another one for the second Party which can be a bit less formal. I'd apreciate a nod towards my denim or flannel Obsession, so I was looking at a few hill-side bowties. Which one would you think worked best?

The suit (ignore the model please).

Had a tailor shorten the sleeves on my 16ss

Damn indeed. If you don't win the lightweight category something's wrong.

Looks great indeed! I'll be joining you english hikers in summer... And I should send b_f a list with whiskies to bring over before the Brexit!

I'm enjoying this sub category of fit pic lately. 

I always look at hems and shoes on people.

I will dub this "Cuff & Sole" and hope to see more of it. 

'Shoes maketh the man' and all that (and jeans, and shirts, and character. Mainly character). 

Hope I don't derail the thread, but I am not a big fan of those shots, nor of the ones where clothes are arranged on the floor. I like to see the fit on "real" People, it's so much better than those model pictures in too tight unwashed jeans you get in every online store. I also scroll past those Instagram Anonymousism x RW 875 Pictures, I know what socks and boots look like, it's the combination of all clothes and the person wearing them that make an outfit look good or not.

Thanks for the pics! It's really hard to tell the cut and fit from that angle. I personally would prefer a looser fit on Shorts, I think.
