Picked up one of these from SENY about a year ago and it's one of my favorite jackets. Just an incredible denim, and I love the weight of it.

I had an issue where I had to cuff the arms to get them the proper length, but once I was wearing it cuffed, the wrist holes were too tight and I couldn't get my hands through if I was wearing a watch.

So, I found a fix for this - Soak the cuffs in warm water, stuff a ball jar through the arm and into the cuff, and let it stretch out overnight. Now the thing fits perfect. I did feel a little insane doing this, but, couldn't be happier with the outcome.

Not sure if this would work the way I imagine, but: Black / Black UHF with a combination of sulfur and reactive dyes, so that the pattern emerges over time.
Would it work that way? Even if it were just two subtly different types of black dye, I think it'd be cool to have a black flannel where the pattern's only visible up close.

Thanks! I went for it - got the last pair at SENY - and will let y'all know how it goes. No regrets, this is an incredible piece.

Quick update for anyone who'd like to know how these stretch out:
13" right thigh after 1 day of wear
13.5" right thigh after a few months of wear

Overall - These fit wonderfully. As many have noted, these get a lot less stiff over time. Mega comfy, great cut. For sure my favorite pair.

Finally got my hands on a pair. I am anywhere from size 34-36, and went with a 34. Wanted something a bit snug in the waist as I’m sure they will stretch out. Also my weight fluctuates a lot as a lifter, so maybe this will keep me motivated to eat less

Fellow squats enthusiast - how has the break-in been going?

Tried these on at SENY and the 34 was a perfect fit in the waist - just a little bit snug - but I still thought that they were just a touch stiff in the thighs. Definitely could not get my knees up to 90*. I've heard really mixed things on how much stretch you can get in the thighs on these. I feel like the measurement is pretty spot on as far as some other pairs I have, but with the thicker fabric it might be just a touch small.

I think the 34 will probably work - could also wait for a restock in the 35. What do y'all think?
