du, it looks like you got tons of wear. you contemplating a soak soon?

i've been meaning to post pics, but they still look the same as my previous update. i think i've worn them a grand total of 4 times since then...

[smiggins]

you mean you literally just pulled on them or you put something in there to help stretch them? cause the tightness is killing me. how much stretch can i expect, best case scenario?

don't worry about it just wear them for awhile i had the same problem and i had to sag them and pull them up a little as i go.

[Guest noogsahoy]

these jeans are actually crazy comfortable.

leg opening is smaller that what i normally wear, but im loving it.

the top block has kinda stretched out a little too much, but it is still great!

[Leonard Leroy]

you guys get so much stacking...

[YIKES]

here's another crappy fit pic... pic looks weird because the mirror is angled oh well I mostly took the pic cuz I had just bought my Sahara boots

[cjbreed]

i know...and i have none at all really. dammit.

i bought them off the supermarket and they had already been hot soaked and had really shrunken up. the thighs were way too tight. so i dipped them in water and put them on while wet and did all kinds of squats and shit to stretch them out. then i took them off and literally stretched them by standing on the inner thigh and pulling with both hands on the outer thigh. it was the most ridiculous thing i've ever done to fit into a pair of jeans and probably completely unnecessary, but it worked and they fit great...

and occasionally while wearing them i just tried to grip the inner seam of the thigh and pull on it. anyway the point is it all worked and i don't have to mess with them at all anymore.

truth is i'm glad i got them this tight because i don't have the diaper ass effect that a lot of people seem to have. so just give it a go man and they'll be fine...

I though I put a photo up as i noticed I have a slight knee fade.Picture from a party on saturday. I need take some pictures of these as they sort of got a soak at Six Flags on the water ride on sunday.

Found this bullet-riddled car in the woods when in Montana recently. I am going to try to catch up with posting some other Montana shots soon but this is a start.

[Leonard Leroy]

Wow.

I really hope that car was abandoned while under gunfire...

[ordo]

Later that same day I came upon a very large replica of a bull. It was very windy.

[Panda-san]

I've worn my BK's for about a week now. They've stretched out a lot in the waist and thighs, and they've lost a lot of stiffness. The stacking is a little sloppier than I'd hoped for.

Raw.

One-wash, approx. 1 week of wear. (I messed with the exposure to bring out the detail in the pics).

[wtap dat ass]

Chainring won....

[enojy]

ouch. i'd get that sewn up ASAP before wearing them again, looks like an easy fix for a tailor.

[aho]

^

I second that. Looks like you're getting good wear otherwise though?

[sm2s]

^^ ouch! nice avy though...

du, it looks like you got tons of wear. you contemplating a soak soon?...

if you mean me, thanks.. im thinking about doing a soak either this coming week (4 month mark) or next month. im not sure if i can hold off for another month, but i do want to try..

[smiggins]

thats why you roll em up

[beatle]

I'm really stoked now to try them on...12 more days...

I kept telling myself I'd wear these after my turn on the Dior tour but here I am days later STILL not breaking them in as a diff. pair of jeans I have are starting to show some life. beatle, what say you to a mini-competition within a competition between you and me from September-December (keeping in mind the Dry Bones in '09)? It'll give me some inspiration haha

[ordo]

Took the jeans to see the Radioheads tonight for those Street Spirit (Fades Out). Just minutes before they took the stage it began to rain - a real solid Vancouver rain. Two hours later and voila - cold soak. My underwears and testicles are now blue.

[branespload]

Yo b, sorry bout tha blue ballz.

There's a lot of things hanging on their stage. When I saw them, I considered the possibilities if a rod fell, or the bass speakers which cause my heart to skip. Man gloaming was the best.

[the_state]

Which show did you catch, LL?

I saw them in Camden last week and they absolutely owned. Where I End And You Begin, Gloaming, The Bends, Idioteque, Climbing Up The Walls and Morning Bell were reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally solid.

[Leonard Leroy]

All Points West on a saturday.

Coincidentally, the first time I saw them live was in camden back in 2003.

[ordo]

Highlights of the show for me were the National Anthem, (total sensory overload), Videotape (just beautiful - I turned my head to the sky and let the rain wash over my face) and Paranoid Android (they closed with this after giving the crowd the choice to play that or Idioteque. I would have preferred Idioteque but everyone holding their hands aloft to catch the rain and singing the "rain down on me" part was quite an experience.)

At any rate, since the SExFHs were still wet this morning I decided to do a half hour cold soak with a bit of detergent since they were a bit on the skanky side.

camden '03 was a great show though.

haha, paranoid android was a better choice. They literally play Idioteque at every show. My favorite show of theirs was Madison Square Garden theater. Right in the pit. I omg touched Thom's hand.

And I love how they opened that show. They started with You And Whose Army from behind the curtains. Curtains lift at they end the song, cue National Anthem. Fuuuuuuck.

Also, I got to hear In Rainbows tracks for the first time and they pretty much played every song I wanted it was ridiculous.

LL i think you're following me around. i was at the theater show too. my seats blew ands the sound sucked in my section so i didnt really enjoy that show. i still haven't seem them do optomistic, knives out, or glass house live. although i don't think they ever play the latter two...

[ordo]

They did Knives Out when I saw them in Vancouver in 2001 - and they played Optimistic last night.
