"people like me" dont spend hours of their life on superfuture researching JAWNZ

fuck off

yo im just sayin so noobs don't need to be shitting up the thread with the redundant question of soak or wash. it seems washing is recommended every 5 pages, and sizing advice is asked every other post, when peeps can just look at the goddamn first page. doesn't exactly take a lot of research. they just jeans, wear them, wash them whatever. no hate (0).

but fuck u rockon for the neg

Ok, so caveat #1 on these is that I ended up trading with someone I found online for different size, which happened to have intact arcs and tabs, unlike the pair which I got from BiG which did not have arcs and tabs.

Caveat #2 is that these pictures don't really do the color justice. They're hella stubborn but they are coming along...

I've had this particular pair since about Jan 05 or so and they've been worn every day until April when I had them repaired, then back to every day for the past 5 weeks. They've been washed 5 times total, every 4-6 weeks or so.

some macro shots, probably should have adjusted the white balance because they're darker and a little more contrasty than this:

You get the idea. The denim is just amazingly sick stuff, but they look more like 3 months of wear than 6. I think in another year they'll look great

710's about 3 months in now. No wash yet, but starting to get that damp feeling, might have to pull the trigger soon.

[mr.invincible]

really nice fit man, i think my pair of skinnys should be these over flat heads. howd you size?

Thanks man. I went true to size at 36 on these. Maybe not the best gauge if you have a much smaller waist. My 710's, 500's and 103's are all 36 waist and fit perfect.

A little further progress on the 710s. This is after a wash.

[nkbnguyen]

how many months now?

did you end up washing them after the quarter?

looking good man.

[was ist los?]

thanks.

Worn for more or less 6 months. 2 initial hot soaks, a soak at 3 month mark, and finally a wash yesterday.

Can't rep you but those look sick. Nice work.

[whatjones911]

really up to you

i did it and it made the denim softer for sure, but still relatively stiff compared to other jeans

[Guest Mr Snowcap]

i just recieved my S5000VX's from 2nd today, and after the initial hot soak i tried them on and it seems to be a little tight around the crotch/asshole/thigh/waist kind of area. will it stretch out after wearing 'em a bit?

thx and let me know...

[blm14]

If the jeans are touching your asshole, you're in REAL trouble.

[enojy]

Has a nice ring to it, though. "a little tight around the asshole area."

[panthermodern]

"tight around the asshole"?

gotta be a troll

right?

please?

yea, should stretch i just got my 2nd x 710s and those shrank from tag size so im a bit afraid since i bought them at true to waist, the vx's stretch alot no?

im not gunna bother getting any more denim for another year so ill stick it out with these bad boys and do some cardio lol

[akuma no uta]

can you post measurements and fit pics? im gonna order a pair here soon, and pre/post measurements would rule

[salaami]

was ist los? is back on the scene...run for cover bitches!

[Guest Mr Snowcap]

i'm lovin the fit on my new S5000VX's but one thing is bothering me, the leg opening.

it is really big so it goes over my heels, and when i wear them outside there is quite a bit of heel drag. i'm not a big fan of cuffs, so should I do a 20 minute hot soak of just the leg openings to shrink them or will that fuck up the whole shape of the jeans?

one more thing.. there is quite a bit of ass bulge on samurais and hip flare too. how would you get that to go down?

[Planet Mental]

Obviously soaking will fix all your problems

[Alex3000]

Seconded on the 710 measurements. Stuck between a 33 and 34.

either cuff, hem, or taper.

hot wash no soap if that dont work you should get a smaller size. and FYI s5000 is a straight leg so the leg opening is gunna be bigger. 710 is the way you should of went.

[salaami]

if you hot wash with a little soap you'll get more shrinking out since the surfactants( i spelled it right this time) will be attracted to the wax in the sizing. it will also remove a good bit of starch, so the jeans will feel 'better', and shrink a bit more. i guess thats why they call it 'sizing'

[selaviso]

^ really i did not know that. i usually just toss em in on hot.

[HAZARDkid]

Seconded on the 710 measurements. Stuck between a 33 and 34.

i think im a natural waist 31-32 but my thighs are kinda big so i went 32, the 2ndx710 shrank from tagged 32 to maybe a 30 or so but they stretched within 30 min of me busting my thumb tryna button em they fit fine so it shouldnt really matter

but you shoudl really true to size to get a nice fit

[salaami]

well the first wash/soak wont get all the shrink out anyway. about 3 will be needed to get ALL the shrink out. its also better if you let the jean dry completely between soaks.
