Way too soon for evo pics, but these are the fastest fading jeans I've had so far (besides nudies - shouldn't need to mention that). Don't mistake this observation as an insult though, the construction is first class and the denim is gorgeous. Really happy with em.

[enojy]

Please take a picture of how the patch came out as well, thank you!

[jjkchung]

so i'm not happy with the fit. my sammies are on the market

[chambo2008]

whats wrong with them chung? dont like the rise or what?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

did you try to give them a hot wash to shrink them more?

[jjkchung]

i made sure to soak them as hot as possible (literally boiling water) to get all the shrinkage out. they fit fine right after the soak, but i guess after they completely dried they seem to be a bit loose on me.

i know that people have gotten more shrinkage out by hot wash and hot dry, but my concern is that they're gunna just stretch back out? considering i prefer not to wash my jeans at all in their first 6 months, iunno if that's a viable option (correct me if i'm wrong)

i dont have a problem with the rise. definitely love the jeans though and plan to order a size down.

No more arcs:( pretty pissed about that.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

that info wasn't that new

@jjkchung: the Texas Cotton denim is known or shrinking everytime a little bit more with the first 4-5 washes. So there is definately more shrinkage in the. But I dunno how much they will stretch in the end.

Got some pics?

[Alex3000]

Black Knights are sexy number 35/101

[trident01]

fit pics pre-wash

i am 5'6.5" 152lbs, and wear a 32 in PBJ, 32 in these and a 31 in uniqlo MIJ.

yes, they are a bit loose, but shrunk nicely and fit well now. once they are hemmed i will post fit pics again (that will be friday or saturday.)

[unfuccwittable]

[Alex3000]

fit pics pre-wash

cuff like whoa

[rome1]

*Yawn* anyways my 710's are going on about 7 months 2 washes... these things are turning out way better than I expected. They're still super dark at this point but the arcs are showing through nicely! I'll post up some pics after I hit the 8 or 9 month mark with a wash...

[chantheman]

i know that people have gotten more shrinkage out by hot wash and hot dry, but my concern is that they're gunna just stretch back out? considering i prefer not to wash my jeans at all in their first 6 months, iunno if that's a viable option (correct me if i'm wrong)

that doesnt make a lot of sense to me.

why not just hot wash them now in the beginning. you already hot soaked them. get more shrinking out and they already touched water anyway. then wait 6 months to wash them after you get some wear. the main stretching will be in the waist. the rest of the jean wont stretch back out much if at all

[chambo2008]

yeah my size 28 lot 10 s0500xx measrue 28 waist, 11 thigh, 8 knee and 7hem, that is like half a inch different in the knee and hem compared to yours (chung)

had a bath with them and used shit lots of soap, now they are all clean and smell lovely, have gotten very streaky!

[Alex3000]

I'm still pissed that I have to size up on my Black Knights upper thigh and waist are snug pre soak...

[trident01]

stretch that bitch out

[edmond]

i want it in a 36 too!

[Alex3000]

stretch that bitch out

its the upper thigh thats snug that doesnt really stretch and Gordon's alread holding a 34 for me.

[Pi-tol]

those Black Knights don't look that hot to me in pics. Need to probaly see them in person.
