I'm not fade expert either but I'd definitely wash. They look like they need a wash

They do honestly I don’t know how others wear for one year straight I need to but the bullet 

Nearly 6 months getting really dirty should I wash or wait a bit longer I’m know expert fader so your opinion helps.

Tcb just brought out a ww2 m-41 cap to compliment the ww2 s40,what a great idea I hope I can shrink one because the sizes our for big head lol

Day 10, off to work with lil' doggo. I've actually worn the jeans every day since the start of the contest and I can already see some nice creases and fades coming in. It's been a while since my last new pair, but these seem like pretty fast faders. And I've either lost a substantial amount of weight since September 1st, or these have stretched a few inches the past week and a half. I bet on the latter. 

Autumn is definitely in the air in Norway these days, mornings are cold and bright and I've started layering. Tucked shirt ftw btw! I'll break out the real camera this weekend and try to get some better shots. 

I’m thinking the same this denim is definitely fast fading I’m losing loads of indigo,and my s40 jacket is fading really quick to

I was also very suprised to see this. As Ryo told me the regular run would be ready mid October...

Haha I like how u put that. 

Honestly I have been wearing Ooe’s WW2 cut for like 8 years straight now. (I have 4 pairs of those)  I love the ‘44 501 repro’s but I’m quite surprised at how slim these 40s actually are in the top block, no hip flares even...

 

High rise Slim in the waist kinda helps them not slipping down to the hip area so I don’t need a belt,also I put on a pair of my samurai cadet denim which our a tapered  Morden fit,what a difference but I do love all different fits:

Really enjoying the ww2 cut I can see why this cut is so big in Japan

Day 2 

Details

Cold soaked my OW to get rid the shrinkage. Inseam -1inch

How long did you soak them cold and do you think that will reduce fading the denim from OW

Still with a t-shirt underneath, but this feels comfortable and works with a thick shirt or thin sweatshirt as well. 

I think the fit is similar to mine,mine is a bit tight round the waist band but arm length good and chest roomy enough if I sized up it would look to big 

They look great slab

My 32 OW with a 31" inseam should be coming tomorrow. My fatass is both excited and nervous about how

Quick update from my side: While my fit looked solid, the waist was pretty tight. Decided to quickly soak the waist/top block and put them on while damp, and they stretched out nicely. Ready to start Tuesday with maximum comfort.

mine our stretching out now 15.5 from 14 to yesterday 15 this morning 39.5 cm chart size Now , and wanted them to stretch more stretch to 80cm so there nearly there.

job done

Nice fit, good luck with the stretch!

I wore mine round the house 14inch Waist yesterday,measurements this morning 15 inch,ow version they our stretching out like Inoue said and I trust his word,I’m not I’m not cheating just making sure the waist will work I’ve now dipped mine in cold water this morning for that extra room but there going to work Either way just some patients I’ve had this problem before with some joe mccoys and they were even tighter than the 40s Tcb now the JMs our  really big in the waist I understand everyone concerns but if it that much of a problem speak to Tcb they our there to help,possibly OW version after they hit washed strunk mire than usual.

ps 

stop the bitching 

No there indigo die from
