Pic of my 711 patch. I've noticed that some are able to keep theirs supple, but mine is on the road to Jerkytown!

I was gonna start the 2020 thread since I'm ahead of most of you guys time-wise (Australia woohoo). Leave the honours to the OGs haha

Hope everyone is having a good time =)

Very professional looking postings on Grailed.

Excellent descriptions.

Many thanks, mate. Takes a bit of effort but it's worth it because people don't need to ask many questions if I'm thorough

Good stretch! Almost picked up a pair from BIG a few days ago, but managed to wait:) Need to use what I have for no ... Although a bit tired of the antfit/boxy 50s fit:) 

Fair call. I did notice BiG had a decent sale on Resolute which is hard to come by.

I also found myself wanting to try a different fit so this was a pleasant surprise. I'll continue to like looser fits though!

What’s your eBay/grailed?

Hey man, my Grailed is https://www.grailed.com/ceej but I haven't put this up yet. It's also a size M which would be too small on you...?

Was taking pictures of clothing that I'm selling. Sadly, my Triple Pleat has to go (along with a bunch of other things).

Anyone doing a No Buy 2020? I think I may buy 1 pair of jeans (something I’ve had my eye on) but other than that I’m trying to buy nothing else (again) unless I’m replacing something that has worn out or I’m selling. I failed last year but didn’t do too badly.

Hmmmm difficult to say. I've tried in the past but failed as well. I reckon I should be able to hold off from buying denim pants in 2020, but I might struggle with other items like shirts, jackets, etc. 

Are you limiting your no-buy to jeans only?

@propellerbeanie Nice fit! What is the actual waist measurements now? 

Thanks, the waist now measures 41.5cm compared to its starting width of 40cm. It started off on the loose side, so I suspect it has the potential to stretch further if put under more pressure. Thinking of getting a pair yourself?

Shorten them a bit and you have a great fitting pair!

Thanks! This length gives me the option to cuff or leave them uncuffed when wearing sneakers. I'm into the rather sloppy casual style these days haha

Thought it would be appropriate for me to finally post some fit pictures of my 710s...

They're great as an everyday jean that just look "normal" (i.e. no-frills, regular leg length, not too tight/loose). In saying that, further down the track, I might look into getting a second pair with a slightly shorter inseam to wear on smarter occasions. My 711s have been tossed into the wash and have been put on ice for a bit while I enjoy these!

They're a size 33x33 (I'm 170cm/70kg for reference). I think this is as slim as I'd go, so I'm glad I got these over the size 32!

Haven't tried Wesco yet, but I like looking at the JP blog because they usually have some interesting/nice makeups. I'm liking the different JH Classics (the burgundy one in particular)...

Burgundy domain JH Classics

British tan domain JH Classics

Forest green Horween Jobmasters

@beautiful_FrEaK What colour are your Paraboots? They niiice

Got a pair of Standard in double black. Very happy with the quality of the work. The denim feels quite light but crisp and tight, nearly shiny when new. I put them in the wash.

I was taking a peek at the Dawson website the other day but I didn't see the Standard available in black (saw it in the slim and wide cuts only). Was it something you had specially made?

I tend to get one-wash jeans these days. If I'm worried there's still some shrinkage left in a one-wash pair then I'll just wash them again before wearing. When I bought unwashed jeans, I double washed them anyway so it hasn't made a difference to me. 

To be honest, I've never been a fan of having my jeans gradually shrink with every wash. That's why I don't do simple cold/hot soaks and line dries, but rather machine washes and tumble dries.

Which method do TCB use for measuring,  can't see it on the site. 

Got some measurements of Ryo, need to compare with current jeans. 

Hey man, here you go! https://tcbjeans.myshopify.com/pages/how-we-measure

Not denim related, but who else has felt their ignored users list has been coming in handy lately 

Great fit as usual! Testing out the single and double cuff I see 

I haven't been much of a watch guy, but here's my most recent purchase from Tender! @rodeo bill is top class!

I "competed" in this for like a month, but I still wanna vote. Had a flick through old threads but wasn't able to find the voting system either

@volvo240thebest soon, just give me a few days

You need to get the white version now! 

In saying that, has anyone ordered any of the white ones? I'm not game enough to wear white because I will get them filthy without even trying. If I had any skills in dying things, it would be neat to try with the white ones

Thanks!

No, I didn't get much more shrinkage even with the dryer. The legtwist and roping became even more visible, and the inseam got 2cm shorter but that's about it @SmokeStackLightning

If yours got ~2cm shorter for the one-wash, I should chuck my pair in for a spin before I continue wearing mine.

I'm jealous of your bandana too. I've gotten stickers but unfortunately no bandanas!

Update: I hot machine washed and tumble dried my pair... The inseam lost around 2cm but all other dimensions basically stayed the same. Denim is also a bit softer/easier to wear now.

Can anyone comment about sizing for Lot 900xx (Slim) One Wash on the Warehouse website?  I reached out to them to see if the measurements that are provided are raw measurements or one wash measurements and did not get a clear response back.  I am asking because the measurements that are on their website differ from those on the Standard & Strange website by quite a bit.  My assumption is that the measurements on their site are raw measurements even though it is for a one washed product.  

The measurements on the WH website are definitely one-wash. If you're referring to the waist and thigh measurements, S&S measure them differently from what most people are used to (i.e. waist is measured without aligning the waistband and thigh is measured 1" down from crotch). Check it out here https://standardandstrange.com/pages/how-we-measure. The conversion for other measurements seem quite similar to me.

Thanks bobby Still no leg twist though  :-/

Upon further reading/research (if I can call it that), it seems that some 710s will just never develop leg twist =/ I'm honestly not sure why this would be the case and still remains a mystery to me. Does it depend on what part of the roll is used? I can't imagine they would be sewn differently? These pictures show 710s that have clearly been worn and washed so I really don't know.
