Thanks Brown!

Thanks everyone!

It's been awhile since I owned a pair. How much stretch can you get on the waist of the Okinawa or Hawaii models? If I'm a 34 waist, can I get the 33?

Must be in like new or lightly worn condition.

I had a pair of 007s a few years back. I loved the denim, but the rise was just too low for me. I need 10 inches in the front rise and 14 or so in the back rise. What model would fit the bill? I've also had the 003s and didn't like the big thighs. I want the slim thighs, just more rise.

Great fit, Trick!

Yes, please give an update when you can, Reudi!

I have begun to see things Reudi's way. I, too, like the way raw, never washed denim looks. I also agree with Reudi that it helps if you naturally do not sweat too much, wear the jeans oversized, and air them out in the sun frequently. Have you posted any pics of your IHs lately, Reudi? I'd love to see them!

I agree, Reudi. These are Incredible!

A trip to the jeans museum of heaviest fadings would be awesome!

I think this SZ stuff looks absolutely awesome!

Just got some unbranded chinos from blue owl. Their customer service was great and they got me into a fit that is spot on. Love the fabric on these!

I've recently become interested in Full Count. I prefer a slim cut as opposed to the vintage cut. Which model should I look at? Right now, my denim is a 32 waist with 11 inch front rise and 11.5 inch thigh. I really don't want the high rear rise.

I+W Cone Sanforized, 15 months, no soaks, no washes.

Here's my Cone I+W, 15 months, no soak, no wash.

I have my xx-003, size 34 for sale if anyone's interested. Excuse the shameless plug. I guess I'm just down with slimmer fits.

The PBJ denim really does have a high shrink/stretch factor. I recently got some some XX-003s and have washed and dried them several times and they just keep getting smaller, especially the inseam. The waist stretches out again quickly to a comfortable size. The main thing is the extra fabric in the thigh has pulled in and looks much better and the inseam has shortened to the point where I can do a single as opposed to double cuff. The inseam is much shorter than the BIG chart.

Finally got the XX-003s hot washed and dried to get all the shrink out. Pardon the phone pics...

Amazing denim, so rough and slubby. It even makes my old Sugar Cane Hawaiis feel like Cone denim. :-)

Am trying to get the new xx-003 pics up. Any suggestions for an easy pic hosting site?

Just got my XX-003s. The top block seems a little more fitted (less fabric) than SC 1947s I have owned, while the legs seem a tad more loose. Also, the denim is just incredible. I gave them two good washings/dryings to get all the shrink out as per BIG's chart, and then starched them so the creases would set as I wear them. Can't wait to see the evo and am looking forward to this relaxed, classic cut.

Thanks, Mr-Bielby! Mine came in the mail today. Cut reminds me of SC 1947, but, oh, that PBJ denim! It's awesome!

Not much on the xx-003 here. Anyone have any experience with them?

Am contemplating a pair of SD-601s. They are 32 waist, one wash. My current pair has stretched to a loose 34. Will the 601s stretch that much?

thanks! it really took some time but it was worth it. i always wonder why some people wait so long before repairing and end with such horrible crotch blowouts.

Yep, I've invested too much time (and like them too much) to let my I+W's blowout. Your rationale is the same as mine.

Looks like a nice hand darn! I recently did my I+W Cone denim as well. After one year with no soaks or washes, they were getting a little thin in the crotch area as well.
