Thanks for the pics. Ill post my results from a couple weeks of wear pretty soon.

Edit: Here you go. 1 week in, they fit rather nice, but do stretch. At least I didnt keep my 34 which couldnt even button up. Dark Indigo definitely fits larger.

Haha, yeah Im glad others started wearing these too

and yeah, theyre a bit loose on me, but the next size down wouldnt even allow me to button up at the belly button, and these stretched a little bit.

rwrobinson, I saw that you stretched the legs out a bit, may I ask how you did that, and for how long? Stood on the legs?

Honestly all I did was got the bottoms of the legs wet stood on them and pulled as hard as I could. probably a total for 5 minutes and quite a few pulls and was fine.

Glad to see that we got some other people doing and saying something here because I was hoping that I wasn't going to be the only person to wear these jeans out.

Ok, here are the pics I promised. They have 120 days of wear at least. They have hit the back burner now since I have my sammies. It seems like they started to fade slow then in the last month or so I wore them they started fading like crazy.

It really makes me want to rock them more but I am dedicated to my sammies for now. These will be camping/random dirty activity jeans I guess.

No washes, one river rinse after a dusty hike.

damn their pretty nice, how do they fit on you?

do you have any pictures?

i can't wait till mine gets a little progress.

oh yeah that back pocket fade is also pretty sick.

I'll get some fit pictures up here tomorrow.

I took mine in to the tailor and it got them changed quite a bit.

Also I have a new wallet i got through corter...so my wallet fade is useless now since i have a new wallet haha.

so anyways hopefully that starts to fade now.

But yeah i'll get some fit pictures up tomorrow.

oh yeah thanks too...about 90 of real wear and 1 wash...wish i wouldn't of had to but i had to because i needed to make sure they didn't shrink to much in length after a wash so when i finally washed them they weren't to short ha! sucks but whatever.

God, these things fit like shit.

The taper from top to bottom is absolutely ass-backwards.

Go save up and buy some APCs.

iawtc. i tried to taper and hem but the fit is still kind of funky. considering selling on supermarket.

I have had this jeans since april and now i've grown to love them. imo they are actually nice jeans and for 80$ i'm darn happy with the buy....but that's my opinion....

ha also save up money to buy apcs?! i think if i'm saving up i'll buy something better then apc's...actually i already have jeans better then apcs but i haven't started wearing them yet...that was funny to me...

I've been wearing mine since the beginning of August or so, and I'm also just starting to get a wallet fade. I'm actually really liking my pair so far... Then again, I haven't really had any other pair before so I really don't know what's better and what's not.
