low straight with fairly regular wear since March

@maharu post above reminded me that i had some pics I never posted of the sj42cp with a few washes, mostly worn in casual office during 2 winters. pulling them back out of the closet now for winter #3. some of the stain from a leather belt rubbed off a fair amount on belt loop areas and there is some visible marbling/crease from wash/dry. i really like the construction/hardware details on these. i don't have pics but they have silver selvedge. lockstitch 1 inch'ish trouser hem type of thing going on.

Hmmm i tried on and purchased the sj42cp in-store. I was just checking out a denim shop on vacation and thought the chinos were so cool. I wear them in casual office situations and never thought much about the rise on my size 36. Sometimes tucked shirt with belt, sometimes not. I don't think they stretched out a ton. I got some pretty intense marbling/crease fade on my first wash. So if you get them and care about that, maybe be a little careful with the wash. I would also say that my hems are wearing down faster than most pants. It think because of the slubbiness of the fabric. I just googled and there is a really thorough review of them here: https://indigoshrimp.wordpress.com/2017/08/26/samurai-jeans-sj42cp-heavy-chino-pants-review/
