they did tighten up but as I know that denim, there is still enough shrink left

[Mr-Bielby]

BF, they look gorgeous. Especially after the 2nd soak.

[pierrot_bzh]

BF, those look really great! Digging this fit!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Thx guys!

 

I thought I should take the opportunity if 2 nearly new pairs to make comparison pics of the XX denim from the new Denime and from the old Denime (Shins).

 

New Denime XX always on the left, Denime 66XX (Shins) on the right

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you see, the old Denime XX denim is a tad darker than the new one. But overall they are quite similar in texture and structure. Fading-wise we might see soon with a little bit of help from others

Would a 36 inch waist in the 66 Denime's shrink to a 35-ish waist and stay there or would it always go back to the raw size. I only ask such a stupid questions as they don't seem to do a 35 inch waist, only 34 or 36.

Blueowl has the Denime 66 on for 120$.. Might jump on them if they're still around next Thursday. 

 

Love the updates bf, great looking jeans

Didn't check the rest of measurements, but unless it's under 14.5 it should be good.

 

Also, all my jeans get a hot soak then a machine wash right off the bat.

[501XX4EVER]

Yes, I was talking about the real basic 66 not the Blue Owl ones, ie the ones with the 4 button fly, not the 3 button ones that Blue Owl has.

 

I had some slightly used 20th anniversary Denime's in with what was supposed to be a 34 inch waist but it was nowhere near that and they were so tight they unwearable. So, I was hoping if I got the 36 inch ones and gave them a good going over in the washing machine they might go to a 35-ish and I'd be good to go but that type of light denim can be so stretchy...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

^old Denime usualy shrank from tag size. So your 20th anniversary were probably 32" after soak/wash. And yeah that is pretty small if you need 35"

 

The new Denime a rather shrink to tag size so you should/could be goof with the 36.

[jstavrin]

Does anyone know the weight of the old XX denim? 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

14,5oz IIRC. Or 14...but I think it is 14,5

[themaster]

14.25oz to be exact

[Flash]

got some new jeans

the denim is beautiful raw , quite a tight weave with a little hair and i know there only going to get better after the soak

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Looking forward to your fit pics

ill have some up tonight , i tried them on this morning ( still pretty damp ) and they have really slimmed down from the pre soak fit . All i need now is another inch or so shrinkage in the inseam and im good 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

14.25oz to be exact

 

Honestly, that is the first time I see that weight stated.

So I dug a bit and the general consense is, that the (old) Denime XX denim weighs 14,5oz (which is they weight I really remembered)

 

@flash: Now show us those fantastic fit pics!
