early fades on my porky's 66

 

they have about 50 days of wear and one wash. and they fade very quick!

Hello everyone!

I am interested in buying the 66 denim from porkys. But I need some help from you guys who already own one.

My exact waist size is around 82cm/32". I am 1,80m and my weight is 75kg.

I already own the FW 601XX '47 and the TCB 50's. FW in raw size 30 and the TCB in raw size 31. Both were hot soaked 2-3 times to get all the shrinkage out. I prefer it really snug in the waist. I guess I have a trauma with too much stretched denim in the past.

So what size should I get and how about the stretching of the denim?

To cut a long story short. Thanks in advance and sorry for this huge text.

The Porkys 66 cut is more generously sized compared to TCB 50's.

I wear a 36 on TCB and a 34 on Porky's, snug. if you can get a single size down from TCB (eg TCB 31 Porkys 30) you'll be grand.

Thanks for your fast answer volvo!

The Porkys guys recommended size 32 in their email because of the 81cm waist measurements as given on their rakuten site.

How accurate are their measurements? In terms of stretching I am a little bit afraid of size 30 with 77cm waist. Maybe 31 would better?!?

too bad we dont have size 30 and 31 on-hand or else i could measure it for you. 

 

for size 32 one wash, the waist is about 31in new. my personal 32 is now at 33in.

Any news on your Porkys 66 Volvo?

[volvo240thebest]

hey Tillman not much wear as of late, they've been neglected since I've got my second pair of TCB 60's. I wear them only for business casual outfits for job meetings. also the denim weave is quite tense so they're not a great pair for summer. I'll slowly put them back in rotation now but truth be told they have no priority, I prefer to fade other pairs first. the narrower hem (8.5 inches) makes the Porkys look great with brogues, loafers and English country boots, but as of late I prefer to wear either RW IR's/ engineer boots.

Mine are at 3 months now, not enough wear to show up much on photos but I think that they will turn out nice. I like the feel of this denim

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Thanks for the feedback guys!

And nice to see you around, Mr. B!

hello

[Mr-Bielby]

Just had mine repaired too. Will start wearing again

[A-pink]

yes sir

[volvo240thebest]

I've worn my 66 pair quite a bit over the summer, with some wear they started thinning and therefore became a bit more comfortable in the summer heat.

Here's photo evidence, your festival director while sweeps the stage lol. Can't get the staff...

Just noticed this but Porkys have changed their patch and removed the red tab on their 66 model. Anyone know the reason or is it probably a legal thing with Levis?

Either way, that pig is HARD BOILED for sure

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I think they did this already many years ago. Like the old patch better

And yeah, probably because of Levi's

Figured as much. Had completely forgotten about porkys until I saw a random pic and thought what the hell happened to the patch!

Porky 66, wee bit of progress since the last update.

$60 plus shipping. If it's within the US, I'd go half in on the shipping cost.
