Good question. I had spoke to him a couple times just messaging about this pair of denim but as far as his identity, I personally don't know who he is. I remember years ago, around the time this pair came out, a couple of folks that were more plugged in behind the scenes seemed to know who he was though. Is Warp And Weft a film or something? Gonna have to check it out

@Radiohead89 lol thanks brother!

Nice man, wish I had grabbed a second pair. Definitely my favorite pair that I've worn thus far.

Posted these in their own thread but figured it would be good to in here as well Self Edge X Flat Head SEXFHXRR10's

Current Rotation: STRIKE GOLD X SELF EDGE - SEXSG24-09 In the closet: Self Edge X Flat Head X Ring Ring 10 Flat Head black denim (don't remember the model #) LVC 1947 501 Double Volante X Stres Maldo (custom made pair)

^ Unfortunately, I bought the biggest size they had. Update to my sizing issue: I decided to wear them for a bit, to stretch them out as much as possible. I'll do the first cold soak about a month in (not worried about anything moving), but I've worn them everyday for about 10 days or so now. First couple were rough but not even 2 weeks in and I'm glad I stayed the course. They've stretched quite a bit already and fit great. This denim is crazy abrasive, already seeing that electric blue starting to come out in spots

thanks man I'm just gonna do a cold soak and will have to stretch back whatever shrinkage comes with it by wearing em

Lol idk but I was gone for years.. But I'm back after looking into and settling on a new pair

Thought about that but have never tried.. anybody have any luck with it? I feel like eventually they're gonna get so dirty that I'm gonna be forced to wash so its almost as if I'm delaying the inevitable.

Anybody have a good technique for minimizing the shrinkage on the first soak of unsanforized denim? I have a new pair that fits perfect/tight as can get and there's really not much room to shrink.

anybody know of a technique other than a cold soak to get the least amount of shrinkage out of a pair of unsanforized denim?

I purchased the Self Edge Strike Gold Wavy tapered and they fit perfectly... before a soak. Any suggestions on getting the minimum amount of shrinkage? Thinking a cold 30 minute will have to do. There's just no room to go any tighter so im thinking I'm gonna have to take whatever shrinkage I get, then wear em/stretch back out as much as possible

I did early on.

Lol true! Also agree, left hand patches on left hand twill is a great detail

Been awhile!... I'll preface this by saying that I hope everybody is safe/sane out there. Haven't worn these in quite some time. I need to get some repair work done, in particular the back of 'em. At any rate, here are some pics.
