Almost embarrassed to post these since everyone's look so much better, but this was my attempt. I realized after the first few months that the cut wasn't for me and they haven't really been worn that much (probably 5 months total?). I think I started on March 16th so I have a couple months left, but I don't see myself wearing them much more if at all. They may even find there way to the supermarket for something cheap like $130-40

[renegade309]

james, what size are they?

What is everyones experience with stretching and these jeans?

I am really close to getting a pair of the last 36s online but I don't want them to stretch too much.

They stretch a ton. My 31's can easily stretch out to 18" when I don't have a belt on. After a soak, they're about 16.5".

So I can expect about a 2" inch stretch before a soak? That's 2" on the actual size not the tag size I take it... thanks for the info.

Sorry, my wording's a bit unclear.

The actual waist is already bigger than the tagged size (rightly so, cause the rise is LOW). The waist easily stretches up to 3" from their smallest measurement (i.e. after a soak/wash). Compared to tagged size, the jean waist is ~5" bigger (I wear them pretty low on my hips).

i dont have a tape measure or nething, but yeah they stretch alot....theyd fall off my ass if it wasnt for my belt.

[cure]

who's done the most washes? I've done 2 handwashes and probably will get in 2 more before april. and i wonder if somebody has gone without washing theirs for the year....

[znoyer7744]

im on like 4 washes. frisky with the whiskey. unavoidable:(

[PandaDenim]

I've done like 6, 7 maybe. Once every time I go home for break and a couple times I had to wash because of alcohol spills/clubbing accidents/etc.

[JohnnyRed]

I haven't washed at all yet, but to be fair, I have probably only worn them for a solid 4 months or so. They've been in rotation with my sammies, couldn't bring myself to focus too hard on these guys.

Probably going to wash soon though...

[guywithpants]

I've been washing mine every few weeks. Hand washing or machine washing.

[vamks]

I washed once but had maybe 2-3 soaks, I'm going to wash it again this weekend. I've been slacking w/ the pics, I'll upload soon enough.

[dkatz]

I've washed 5 times, though the last one was kinda a double-wash: hand-scrubbed them like a motherfucker then threw them in the machine.

Also, 5 days back in Kampala and they're already getting orange again. Damnit.

[james nicolas]

officially threw in the towel

they're not getting worn, i don't see them getting worn, and I need money for school books

check the sig if interested

[enojy]

james nicolas, i'm having a hard time wearing mine too. i bought a 31 like you, and based on your fades, they fit you in a similar manner -- too big everywhere. which is funny, since nowadays, 31 is like sizing down one for me.

i save mine for days that i need a looser-fitting, lighter-feeling jean. skateboarding in my samurais on hotter days gets pretty tedious after an hour or so.

i'd say anyone who is interested in buying james nicolas' jeans, you should probably be around a 32 or even a 33 in most other jeans. this really isn't much of a slim cut, just a low rise straight leg jean.

[dkatz]

Thread's been moving slowly lately... so I'll picture-overload.

Threw 'em in the washer again today with some Dr. Bronner's to try to undo some of the orange. Took some pre-wash pics in the shade out front of my flat today, wound up with a little gaggle of neighborhood kids standing around probably thinking "muzungu... always doing strange strange things)

I think these are showing up a bit lighter than real life

Pocket-bag was coming detached, got it patched while home. Forgot to ask her to patch over the little hole.

Hm. Right leg looks dirtier than left. Weird.

Love how the patch is fading

Also can just barely see the stitching of the inside-patch-job reinforcing my left-buttbone-area

Patch-love. Annoying how the little fold of patch-denim stick out over the tab.

The upper block/crotch is becoming more patch than original denim.

I love the inside-stitching of my hand-done patch (left side in this photo)

[vamks]

That color has faded so much it's ridiculous. Looks incredible man.

[tigerformula]

lol

"you must spread some reputation around before giving it to dkatz again"

Those are beautiful.

[Markk]

Damn, dkatz. How many times have you washed them?

[izayuh]

Here it goes

Dkatz can't be the only guy displaying his denim

3washes and one soak, with about 10 or so months of wear. 3 serious repairs. I would say these jeans have held up well to abuse
