This is one that I missed because I wasn’t into denim jackets then, but would snatch up real quick if they do another run.

Post 2nd-shrink post barber pic. Liking these more and more.

Checking in with pre/post and initial thoughts. I really like these jeans and cut. The roping is top notch. I’m still tripping out on the denim pockets bags It’s a weird feeling, but will only get better with wear. I didn’t get as much shrink in the waist as I wanted with the first wash, so I ran them through again as well as a trip through the dryer. Think we’re fully shrunk now - waist snug, but has loosened to what I was wanting and inseam hit requested post-shrink exactly. I ended up with some marbling with the initial soak/wash/hang dry that was probably intensified with the second wash/dryer. My typical machine wash/dry usually doesn’t marble like this, but it did this time. No worries - I’m choosing to see the squiggles as ‘freshly grated mozzarella’ for my pizza pants. Pre Post initial wash, hang dry

I thought I read somewhere that there are no side seams, just the seam down the back. Could that be it and just lost in translation?

Took a few detail shots to add to the thread before I beat up these jeans.

I’ll see if I can add more pre-shrink fit pics later or might be lazy and just combine pre/post shrink pics to the picture thread with measurements. My raw fit is really similar to @Jared_Lee with ample room all over. Leaning toward hot wash & hot tumble dry. Perhaps 2x hot wash and no drier. The raw waist ended up on the generous end of the tag size. Still well within tolerance, but I would like to get as much shrinkage in the top block and inseam as possible.

My pair also arrived. Apologies if I missed it elsewhere, but are we waiting until Friday 1/17 to give them the initial wash?

This one is killer!

These are fun. I’ll add these: • Five Pocket Prize Fight • Five Pocket Fade-off • Shinya Showdown

Tracking also just showed up for me. I drew up this calendar based on a triangulation of potential alternate pizza pant start dates.

@ATWM yes the xx4 denim. I think I’m at 7 washes now, 4 with tumble dry. Roughly 6-7 months actual wear. This is the pair I ended up with after selling you the two sizes too small pair the vendor accidentally shipped me.

OA01s freshly washed and getting a rotation break for the WOM contest.

Good luck on the search @UkeNo I’ve been wearing the normal weight sweatshirt a lot the past two weeks and it’s great. Even fits nicely under my type 1

Here are some photos of the inside of the sweatshirts. I think it comes across through the crappy iphone pics. The special heavy weight has a noticeably thicker and heavier pile.
