[beautiful_FrEaK]

that's nearly too much. looks kinda artificial

but still props for the effort and fades

[pat!!]

what the fuck is that shit. looks good

[SLAB]

crap, what does that guy do to get those kind of fades and creases? Inquiring minds would like to know!

A ton of starch? To get wear like that, I'm thinking your jeans need to start out super rigid and stay that way.

[edmond]

he soaked them caus ehwen you wear them without soaking creases will be really sharp

[beautiful_FrEaK]

looking at all the little holes and tears on the back of his honeycombs I would guess only a few washes and maybe he really wore them without an initial soak.

on the other hand that's maybe the way the 24 denim evolves

[treasurehoard]

those are intense!

[Stacks]

mine don't look that good but were definitely on that path before I had to stop wearing them in the georgia heat

24oz rht stays insanely rigid, to the point where creases you get from bending stick around when you stand straight up.

Nice smooth vintage fades.

I missed that those were the 24 oz jean. Yeah, their thickness and weight (and the natural rigidity because of it) alone may have been the key to that type of fading.

[whorichard?]

Those are pretty nice man, whats the wash history on em?

[Flash]

after seeing all these 710's i caved and bought a pair after promising no more jeans for a year(bought far too much denim this year) . with my take5 members discount they ended up the same as japanese retail which was nice

[VSwim09]

So I got my S710XX Lot 13 w/ black arcs+red tab in the mail yesterday from 2nd and had a chance to take a quick fit pic pre soak. I'm liking the fit so far and am looking forward to soaking them. The 19oz fabric makes the buttoning a bit of a pain. Especially the lowest one. I thought my FH1001 was annoying at first to button:rolleyes: Other then the button thing they are really comfortable already.

A nice little bonus was the mousepad they sent me Not something I ever use but think I will start using one

[Alex3000]

Wait that's pre soak?! That's gonna be painful.

[kino]

I think you guys are right How much stretch/shrink can I expect. Looking at the charts I thought they would be right but they are pretty tight for pre soak. Charts between BiG and SE said the waist was the samebetween the FH1001 sz 31 and s710 sz. 30 :S and My flatheads weren't quite as tight and they were 31. These are size 30. What should I have sized?

[Flash]

what size are they ? have you got measurements?

[VSwim09]

They s710 are sz 30 and my 1001's are size 31. s710's measure 15" w/dip and the 1001's measure about 15.75 w/ dip after about 5 months. The FH1001 shrunk down to 15" w/ dip after it's initial soak.

@Nuk1 = Can't rep sorry. Beautiful 710s. I don't wear mine enough...

@Vswim09 = My Lot 10 (yes, the cursed lot) size 33 710 has stretched to about 34.5 in the waist (I wear them as a slouch fit nowadays). I think you can relax. Going to be an uncomfortable couple of weeks for you though.

[nate1492]

That's about how I sized mine, VSWIM. They'll stretch, but be prepared for a pretty slim fit and crotch blowout at around 8 or 9 months.

[VSwim09]

Thanks for the input everyone, I'm not so worried about it anymore. I think they will shrink down to the measurements I wanted when all is said and done. 8/9 months is a lot of wear down the road so not something I need to think about now I'll just enjoy them as long as they let me. I'm hoping I get a chance to soak them this sunday
