The chest measurements listed on their size chart seem really small in relation to the other measurements. For instance the size 46 appears to have a chest that measures slightly over 42. Had me wondering if the chart is accurate.

 

on that note: had a very kind some-one with a 46 kindly take a set of measurements a little while back: chest no. came to 22inches... (w. 25.5 inch length = pretty tubular for those that like that...)

Hi!  Everyone: Recently I'm awakened by a cat at 5am every morning ... but I don't feel uncomfortable.  Haha Because when I go out to the balcony and look up at the sky at that time, Orion looks beautiful in the west sky.  The coffee you drink while exhaling white is exceptionally delicious!

And on the 9th of this month, it's been 3 months since I started wearing contest jeans at work.

So far, I have used a warehouse detergent for soaking and washing 3 times, natural drying 3 times, a commercially available detergent once, and a dryer once.  After work yesterday, I washed it with a second commercial detergent and used the second dryer.

The photo is before washing with a second commercial detergent.  No image processing is done.

@Uncle Karl - Those kitties are very lucky to have such nice climbing furniture!

Contest check in with my usual outfit of late, featuring [unseen] Gustin waffle, UES extra heavy flannel, TCB jeans, and New Balance.  The pants are coming along slowly but surely.

*weird cropping because the den is a bit of a mess, and it's easier to photoshop than clean....

Bonus shot of some cupcakes we got to celebrate my wife's birthday today.  I think she forgave me for the contest jeans crocking all over the couch =D

^insane!

[erockisalive]

All of these heavily faded pairs are making this work from home desk jockey very jealous. Hopefully I'll have the tortoise and the hare approach.

I just appreciate getting a preview of what my jeans will look like in five years

4th trip through the wash and dryer. I have worn these jeans everyday since the contest started. Some train tracks are starting to show. Other than that, not much progress anywhere else from my last update. 
 

I wore my Samurai S3000VX Lot 10 while I did laundry and they felt like hip huggers by comparison. I’m not sure I’ll be able to wear any of my other jeans after this contest ends with out feeling like my crotch is being squished.

(Edit: For some reason I wasn't able to enter text on my phone... And the picture didn't show either.)

Wow, the progress on these last few pages... Impressive! I've washed yet again, a monthly event here, and this is what the upper thigh looks like now. Nothing like @Uncle Karl or @mzasch for sure, but I think the puppy and multiple daily walks have contributed to quicker fading than normal for me.

I love the high rise and I always tuck. I tried on a batch of the other jeans I own while tidying up last week and they all felt more constricting in the seat and thigh. These are my jeans that fit most like sweatpants, haha, albeit very high waisted ones...

Welcome to the darkside everyone...Love that this is forcing us all to embrace looser/high rising fits!

Fit pic from early on. The most comfortable jeans I’ve ever worn. Hands down.

Did you cut off the hems?

Indeed. Decided to go raw hem after a few joints last night 

[roomtemplacroix]

[breakingfad]

@mzasch digging the naked hem. I did that with my lvc 1933. A stay stitch will help with the fraying. Unless you are not bothered. You have me contemplating doing this to my 40s.

No picture of the jeans, but we got a new addition to the family, Tove.
