That is a great fit, jon!

The waist will definitely stretch, don't worry. You will probably see an inch of stretch and maybe even more. A hem would make those the perfect pair, I think.

Does Burg und Schild offer in-house hemming?

For those who own these, would you say it drapes as well as the signature 21oz denim? Maybe G or Alex could chime in here?

Here’s my March update Likely won’t be wearing these for more than a month before shelving them for spring/summer.. and then I’ll have a few more months in them during fall before the competition ends.

I’ve almost outgrown them in the waist, so I’ve come to terms with the fact that I probably won’t wear them after the DWC is over.

Thanks gents. Haven’t seen many in the wild or even on here, a real shame, since it’s really interesting but still somewhat understated for MF.

Quick snaps of my Workman shirt in Gunpowder Tea from the Sportsman collection from a couple of years back. I nuked this shirt with a couple of 60 degree washes to shrink it properly, which, along with the amount of wear I've put into it, means it's lost a lot of color:

Excellent work on these.

Lovely pair (as the actress said to the bishop). I think I’ve asked this before but what is your washing routine?

Thanks gents. Apart from the initial shrinking-to-fit, I washed these twice in my machine but got some streaking to show for it in spite of using a non-spin program. Handwashed them in a tub several times since, so no more streaking… but I just feel like they don’t clean up as much as they would from a machine wash...

I’ve been wearing these 888-NTs (same jean, different patch) throughout winter. Here they are at around 10 months of wear. Lost track of the amount of washes:

Just realized I completely forgot to post in here even though I’ve been wearing these 888-NTs throughout winter. Here they are at around 10 months of wear. Lost track of the amount of washes:

hah, thanks man. Now on to destroying these jeans before the next year has passed!

1 year update on my 888-NT contest jeans. I haven't posted at all from May-now, because I haven't worn them at all since we had a pretty hot summer (Please don't give me shit, people who wear heavyweights in Arizona in the summer).

2 initial machine washes, 2 hand washes since.

6 months update!

3 washes.

Very pleased with the fading so far.

I feel like this might upset some people here.
