Did you notice any shrink (lengthwise) after drycleaning them?

[psyence]

deedotceedot - I noticed that the length was slightly shorter than before. Nothing drastic.

Thorns - Thanks. Glad you like them, but I think it's the lighting that make em look like that. I also took pics with flash on:

i worked in a warehouse all summer, that did some good damage

other than that i just get drunk and go wild, climb things and fall

Haha. I recently got my first pair of raw denim (iron army) and I was thinking about what that I regularly do is going to really break these in (since I don't skate - which looks to be the most efficient break-in technique) and I realized that you just pretty much hit the nail on the head for me.

dry denim drives me to alcoholism.

now where's my beer?

[Yet Fung]

Getting pissed out of your tree seems to be the most effective way if you don't skate. Getting shitfaced works well too, possibly even getting hammered. Getting buzzed means you're a bitch though, so be careful. Nobody like mediocrity.

I love waking up, drinking water, having breakfast, then inspecting the new wear on my jeans after a great night out.

Heh, yeah, except for the inevitable groans upon the discovery of all sorts of new, fun unidentifiable stains - which is inevitably followed by the "what the hell did I DO last night?" and discovery of pictures people took of you doing things like sitting on an unknown person's parked motorcycle with a phone in one hand and a beer in the other. That has definitely never happened to me....

^ werd. those are some handsome jeans. do you have any closeups of your lap fade? i'm curious as to how this denim fades.

ADDED: thanks for adding that photo!

[Carl]

WTYM - Amazing. The lap fade is beautiful. How is the fit on those? Little baggier then '47 cuts?

[BrokenGlass]

werd, I've been watching your noms for a while and they are getting better every time you post, it seems the bottom of your jeans is still in tact, last post there were alot of thread breaks?

your jeans look awesome and you truly understand the way this thread is supposed to work. Those still look like they have life in them... but, out of curiosity, what are your plans as far as your next denim go?

[MikeN]

Those Nom's are fucking great!

[ang_kangkong]

Stuntastic and adnrewfuncrew, did you soak your Lees? I want to know if these things shrink. Tag on it says it'll shrink, but Lees are known for being sanforized, aren't they. I have a pair that I'm ambivalent about. They look good faded (not mine, I'm talking about andrew's), I like the different color stitching, but the back looks saggy on me and the pockets are a little long on me.
