  1. So my new 800xx arrive tomorrow, very excited.

    I always wash unsanforized denim regardless even if it is one washed from the manufacturer, I assume the same is a good idea with the xx denim to ensure all shrinkage is done?

  2. Those are some pretty great fits, thanks for the trouble MT!

    Interesting how they are at almost the exact same stage of fading - could have fooled me into believing they were the same pair! Apart from the telltale sign of the huge rise of the 40s of course.

  3. I really like the 800 cut and the graininess of the 14.5oz XX-denim Warehouse uses but I have serious doubts whether I can make the waist work.

    If my best fitting pair has a 34" waist, would the size 34 stretch that much? Every shop I see that carries these says to size up 1 or 2 sizes and I can't find a size 36 anywhere (also worries the slimmer fit in the legs would be offset too much in a size 36 on me).

    50s are out for repair right now but I'll do it when I get them back this week.

    Thanks! 

    Are the measurements on TCB’s site accurate for waists? Are the size 33s really only 39cm laid flat?? 

    Sorry if this has been debated to death earlier in the thread…

    I think 33.

    The 50s are wider in the leg all the way down than the 40s so for a similar leg you'd probably have to go down to 32, but that would likely be pushing it in the waist.

    I have 40s in 34 and 50s in 33 and both fit fine. These days I could probably go down an inch in both but I wouldn't do more than 1" difference between 

    Thanks! Great input.

    Mind sharing fit pics of both pairs? If you have them…

    I think it’s finally time to own some 50s. 

    If this is how a 34 OW fit me in the 40s (contest) jeans, is it possible to end up with a similar fit in the legs but with a smaller top block (thinking rise here specifically)? And what size should I get in that case?

     

     

  7. Well these have a zipper. Found the culprit! Now we’ll see if I can return them to the seller who tagged them at a size 32 and told me the waist was 41/42cm…

  8. Is there a women’s version of the 105? I got hold of a barely used size 2 and they are ridculously small. Like less than 29” in the waist. Couldn’t even button them and I take a size 2 in all other Orslow bottoms. No size guide from any retailer I’ve seen have these measurements for the size 2 105…

    Not even extreme hot wash nuking could shrink jeans this much. 


    What gives?

  9. Oh my god, I can only imagine what would happen if that big red thingie had a leak somewhere while it's pressing!

    I used to work at a dairy packing butter, and whenever the machine broke down somehow there would be just masses and masses of butter everywhere. We had to go in and clean them with water hoses and things that were kind of like screen wipers. I would always reek of butter whenever I got home, so much so that my friends wouldn't watch football with me (had the 3pm-11pm shift).

    Do you smell like sweet apples at the end of the day, b_F?

    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.

    I think you're right about that last part.

    This is what the fly and crease on the thigh look like on my pair after 8 days:
