Stellar fit!

Like the fit and fade a lot. If you continue to give them hell, they're gonna look hot in a year or two…

Fit pics, pre-soak.
These remind me a lot of my SEXIHXLSXA13's when they were new. The denim is so thick and rigid and dark. I didn't have quite as tough of an experience as some people have (I re-read this whole thread in anticipation of receiving these and I'm still laughing over @Seul 's comments when he first got his pair), but this denim is no joke. It's going to take me forever to tame these things. Next pics will be after a soak/wash and a full day's wear.

25oz look really good hemmed to length with no cuff.

Yeah, disregard that. I went ahead and gave them a gentle wash with some agitation to soften the denim up a bit, and afterward I figured I'd put them on wet to help stretch the waist more quickly. It was an epic struggle. I got the middle fly button buttoned, but the other two fly buttons weren't happening. I didn't think I was going to get the top button buttoned either, but after an exhausting life-or-death struggle, I succeeded. I wore them for about 20 minutes, and all was well (-ish) until I decided to take them off. I had a prolonged moment of panic as I quickly realized the 25 oz denim was in control of the entire situation all along. They were NOT coming off, because the top button was NOT going to allow itself to be unbuttoned. I honestly thought I was going to be "sleeping" in wet 25 oz denim. After another life-or-death struggle, I managed to free myself. It was like a scene from The Exorcist lol. "The power of Christ compels you!!!"
They're hanging on my closet door drying now. I'm a little nervous about sleeping in the same room with them.

Ah yes, that moment when you can't tell if the blue discoloration on your fingers is indigo, or bruising from fighting the buttons. I will be interested to hear your experiences with your hips and the back of your knees. LOL I know my hips were bruised and pretty raw for a bit. Welcome to the struggle xtc!
