@van:

. After 40days I give the XHS a break (SR needs some lovin' too) .
. Discovered nice fades from the belt .

This is fantastic!

Jeans came today.  Look great, feel great of course.  Had length taken down to 31, which ended up being perfect for what I wanted.  So that gamble worked.  The waist at 32 is honestly a bit tight, but hopefully they will stretch more than a half inch.  Or can I only really hope for half an inch in the 25 oz? Honestly, I have feeling that even a 33 waist might have felt a little tight on me, when most 33s in most jeans I wear are comfortable/loose.  But these are really only noticeably uncomfortable when sitting down but not to the point that I can't breathe or anything, so nothing too unbearable.

Any chance I can get more than a half inch in stretch? I'm going to try, and I guess I'll see what happens.

I only got about 1/2, but I was putting no pressure on it…..

I measured my size 34s the other day at 35.1'', so yes they will go more than an inch if required.

Yeah they'll loosen up, no worries… Same denim as 666XHS so I'm allowed to post here  ::)

This is good to know for me.  If I can get an inch out of mine, they'll be perfect.    I've gotten a half inch now.  I sized up a little and glad I did.  My 36s have a nice solid look.  they're 35.5 new and now at '36 but another half will put me where I need to be.

[Jsticklee]

Anyone else holding out on wallet fade pics? C'mon…. ::)

[D97x7]

Here ya go. 

[Jsticklee]

Awesome! Nice fades D97x7… I need more wear time... Any washes on those? Are you wearing them "dry"?

I have a question to anyone that has both these and the SRs coughMaxcough. How do these feel weight wise compared to the SRs? Im addicted to extremely heavy denim for the Midwest winters here in the US and have been wearing the SRs for 3 winters. I really dont NEED another pair of extra heavy denim because my SRs are still going strong but knowing there is something heavier is bugging me. YEa I have issues…

SoOo, Its either a pair of XHSs or a pair of regular 634s`s for summer and spring. I just retired a pair of LVCs that were my spring/summer jeans. So im REALLY in need of a little lighter jean but that XHS is calling my name.

Someone talk me off the ledge!

I'll compare both jeans when I receive my Annie SRs (hopefully Monday).

I can tell you, however, that wearing the reg 21 oz. jeans after havin worn the 25 oz.'uns for a while, really feels like you're getting into lightweight jeans…

[mikesantor]

Thanks Seul.

Its sad when you are into denim/Iron Heart and you consider "light weight" 21oz denim and "Heavy weight" 25+Oz. The reason I retired the LVCs are because they feel like pajama pants after wearing the SRs for a season. I seriously feel naked out in public with any jeans under 21oz now…

[Seul]

It's mainly a feeling of having 'cold' legs… Initially... I can adapt to goin 'back' to 21 oz. jeans in under 30'

Not going to be me I'm afraid. If you like the SR' you'll love the XHS'!
I own both btw.

[mikesantor]

"Like" would be an understatement. I LOVE my SRs…
