@Jestre:

For my money, LN has the best looking pair of jeans on the forum right now.  We all wish ours could look that good.

qft…

[Licorice Noose]

Thanks guys. All you have to do is wear them.

@Licorice:

There's contrast under the grease. I swear 

A little offtopic, but what knife is that? Is that a Sebenza? 

[Seul]

Certainly looks like it…

[Licorice Noose]

It is. Sebenza Insingo

[scoobtay]

Very nice!  Fades look amazing as well.

So I celebrated July 4th by… washing my 666s. 40C, 45 minute Bronners soak in the tub with agitation in the middle, followed by a warm rinse. The true 39" of the size 38 had always been roomy on me and I'd thought perhaps I would have been better off trying to stretch out a 36. To my surprise, these shrunk quite a bit in the wash:

I took a picture just so everyone wouldn't think I was crazy. Yep, these clearly measure 37" now. I'm certain I've measured these before and they really were 39". I'm quite pleased by this development, but I'm a bit puzzled since everyone says these are supposed to have minimal shrinkage. I only lost a half inch in the length.

[Giles]

You'll stretch them out again I reckon…..

[Occupant]

I'm sure, but I'm quite pleased that they're probably going to end up at 38" instead of 39". The sizing worked out in the end after all!

I'm pretty positive thats a patch on the knee, but what did you use for it

[Licorice Noose]

Selvage chambray.

[Morose_Penguin]

@Licorice:

Selvage chambray.

So you'll be patching that knee quite often then? Given how hard you wear your jeans ;).

[Licorice Noose]

you'd be surprised how tough that stuff is. It wears better than a lot of 14oz denim in my experience. Should see me through to a new pair.

Updated evo courtesy of a chocolate Lab named 'Phoebe' that decided to charge suicidally across the road to jump all over me. Much to the embarrassment of her owner. Unfortunately, before I could grab her collar, she dashed across the road again. Got hit by a car (which stopped for 5 seconds). Luckily, she wasn't hurt.

Looks like dogs like IH to.

Choc Labs are crazy like that
