Khaki Levis 501 STF pics thread

[chris.tan]

Hey guys so I just picked up a pair of khaki 501 stf's. I've owned a pair of the normal stf's and was wondering how these would fade. I've only seen one picture of a pair of khaki stf's and they were just soaked with no wear. My 501's seem indestructible so it'll be interesting to have a pair of khaki's that I can beat up., Anyone with khaki stf's feel free to post up your pics and share thoughts. I'll be posting my results with this pair as time goes along.

Dang...maybe its just cuz youve got some extra length with that cuff and all but those look much wider from the knee down than my current 501's. How'd you feel about the fit? Are these more narrow than the "old" 501 cut?

I pretty much retired my last 501's cuz they were too tight. You guys have any suggestions on how to soak these so the inseam shrinks but still find a way to keep room in the upper leg? Id like to be able to actually walk up a flight of stairs in this pair.

Finally got my pair in the mail today. I cold soaked the top of the khakis. Then I hot soaked from just above the knee and below. Hopefully I'll be able to keep plenty of room up top for my more athletic build while still shortening the total inseam. I also stretched the opening like crazy to make sure they don't taper down too narrow. I'd like to keep more of a true straight leg appearance with these. Unfortunately I don't have my camera right now. I'll post up pics when I do.
