The worn ones are mine, im size 30. The crisp ones are new one my friend bought, he is size 38. Really flattering I agree, the fit turned out perfectly. Sorry about the double post! Migrating from reddit, they are bullies XD.

@Bobbo much appreciated @heavydoom I agree, and I think there may be credibility to this top/front loader theory. I've noticed a lot more marbling and pronounced contrast using top load as opposed to front load. It is the reaction of the fabric under full submersion of hot water, perhaps? The front load doesn't allow the jeans to be fully submerged under water at all times. The "funky" creasing I could live without are the super straight lines that shoot from the hem really close to the out seam and inseam. They look so unnatural and interfere with the natural wear I find. I am assuming this is what y'all meant with funky creasing.

Coming in with another 50s update! 4 months wear 3 hot wash and hot dry. I find the fabric reacts better when washed in a top load as opposed to a front load washer. Does anyone else find that? Or am I crazy. I converted a friend to the 50s. Also included some day one pics. W38.

@volvo240thebest Oh no! Sorry for the loss. At least you're saving the a**es of the rest of us.

@volvo240thebest How did the Taobao transaction go? I'm looking to order from Labour Union soon! Any crazy fees?

@nycsurfer530 I'm considering a pair of 800s in the future. I really, really love the fit of the TCB 50s. Can you give me any insight as to how the rise and thighs can compare. I like the looser fit of the 50s.

Another 50's update! 2 months daily wear, 1 initial hot wash, dry. Just gave them a hot soak and machine dry. Fast evo. For Valentines Day, we made a special cocktail at my restaurant: Vodka, sparkling, St-Germain and Pomegranate juice.

@Geeman How come? Any unique wear potential in this?

I shrunk the patch on my SDA Type II.... what do y'all think? Am I cheating?

How many washes? This jacket is grail status.

That is promising! I’m honestly surprised myself at this point

I have two jobs which require ALOT of movement. Can’t wait to see these in 5 more months.

TCB 50's. 1 month wear. Fastest fading pair I've owned for sure.
