  1. Are we talking about the 220A XX or the other newly released variation? If it's the former, I got the size 36, and two warm washes and a hang dry yielded: 37.50, 13.50, 17.50, 13.25, 10.25, 9.25, 34.50 (pre-soak) 35.25, 12.50, 16.75, 12.75, 9.75, 8.75, 32.50 (post-soak) Those look so good @vIGGiou riou!
  2. There's something about the 220A; it's really nice denim(e)!
  3. Kapital is rad, have a couple of pieces. One, my girl like so much, so we framed it.
  4. Recently, Renault added "black denim" to one of their cars. If I were to ever build a "minitruck," I think I would get it upholstered in denim; it would be a good fit.
  5. Obligatory Imperial post...9 months in, 3 to go (as far as end of competition).
  6. Pretty happy that when these are done in 3 months, it's straight into the WoMJ Comp...
  7. From what I have seen on the IIY4, the 1001XX are insanely fast faders. People's 3-month updates were better than my 1.5-year everyday wear denims. I'm pretty hard on jeans, and I have no idea how they fade them this fast. Is it a good thing? I don't know; I feel like a balance is good. I have Nudie and SDA, and they are relatively slow faders, but my TFH and Denime seem pretty quick in comparison. Is it how many dips in indigo that prove how steadfast they are, or are there other factors as well? The science behind it is fascinating, but I fear some companies want to be known as super-fast faders; it probably brings in sales. People generally want to see results quickly. How fast they fade isn't necessarily reflective of a brand's quality. After a year or year and a half, putting them on a shelf doesn't show how sturdy they are. I'd imagine some brands capitalize on this. I'm not saying Denime, but that's an interesting take. I personally love my 220A Offset XX.
  8. Because @beautiful_FrEaK has decided not to buy any new jeans, I decided to pick up the slack. I got myself some S710XX-BK this weekend...Nice to have some proper black denim in rotation.
  9. I have the 0906 and the 15.7oz denim is fantastic. Worth checking Blue Owl if you are in the states...
  10. I picked up a pair of the S710XX-BK last night. I will post when I receive them, but I have wanted a pair of black jeans for a long time, and these fit the bill. Originally, I liked the non-contrasting stitching, but after seeing Resolute's Ghost Black with the contrast stitching, it swayed me.
  11. What software did everyone use to create music back in the day? Reason, I think it was called? You could "plug in" different synths and whatnot. I remember notating (for drums) all my favorite songs in Notepad. Isolate the drums and then mix them with my drums. Was a good way to learn and find any mistakes in your drum tablature. Good times!
  12. Nostalgia. Most of the time it's in my pocket so no one sees what it is. But I illustrated that it turns heads (whether they know what it is or not). I like the player's industrial design. I like the OS UI/UX. I don't care for "super high quality audio." It's fun pulling things apart and figuring out what's wrong, so no trouble. The 4th Gen cost me a little over $40 so it's hardly breaking the bank. I listen to albums as a whole more than when on Spotify. Keeps me off my iPhone a lot more et al etc etc
  13. Need some new songs @Double 0 Soul! This one is a doozy. Dual boot, so Apple iPod OS or RockBox where you can fully customize practically every setting and run themes. I'm currently designing and coding a theme but using one of the best ones I could find. 5.5 Gen iPod with 64MB onboard, 512GB Samsung flash on a iFlash board, 3300mAh phone battery, taptic engine (so it vibrates as well as clicks) with a transparent front, OEM black clickwheel and an older 80GB backplate (scratched up). Gets about 80 hours or so at least.
  14. Drying after their 13th wash. 8.5 months in.
  15. After @beautiful_FrEaK newest purchase, had to give the SC 1947s a spin for the day. Another 1” lopped off on these for the 311 is what I’m going for although these are a little wider.
  16. @beautiful_FrEaK will have purchased 4 more pairs by the time his WOM come...
  17. Being that this comp is 18 months, I'm planning on wearing at least once a day, but give some of my other pairs a chance too. The current comp (12 months) I'm in, ya feel bad if you don't put in the full day. Looking forward to less stress 😂
  18. Gonna pick up one of those camo Poten hats. My indigo one is great!
  19. Man, I totally forgot about Skull too, the 5010xx specifically. And of course, SC Okinawa.
