21oz Shinayaka Selvedge Denim

Hows the feel through the thighs Rueben?
Looks like there is some give?
I would never look at these and think stretch. They look totally like normal. -
@neph93 That's a great fit - looks really good.

@dinobarnesberlin @Giles @AdamJ @grassfedyogi thank you all…
If they were regular 21oz today would have been a day with moderate discomfort, but I would also have expected them to "give" and stretch quite a bit. As it is they are not uncomforable in the least, but I can't grab much more at the back of the thigh now than I could this morning. My hypothesis is that the 2% polyurethane has a bit more fabric memory than cotton and resists the more permanent stretch than cotton has. That may well mean that the knee-bagging that @xtcclassic mentioned may not occur. That being said I'd imagine that some permanent changes will occur with time, it is after all still 98% cotton. I suspect they will just take longer and be less radical.
They look really great Reuben. You're def not "trying to hard"
No harder than usual at any rate

They look fantastic @Neph93 !!
FWIW I have had plenty of stretch jeans fade - my “throw away” jeans I used to regularly wear to the gym when leading classes would definitely get fade patterns - especially if you wear them to the extent of their stretch abilities

Great write @neph93 this denim is going to be perfect for me

Agreed, that’s a great fit @neph93. I’m 40-something and I’d rock that cut if I could.

Kinda disappointed you look nothing like the skinny legged bird with an exploding muffin top
Great write up and first impressions on this denim Reuben. The particular way you described how freely and comfortable it is to move in them surprised me. Almost too good to be true for something of that weight. Can’t wait to see how they evolve and additional thoughts as you put in more wear time. -

They do not feel like jeans I've worn for one day. They feel beautifully comfortable. As for the funny looking bird, wait until you see a profile shot
@spitfiredealer I've thought of you regarding these jeans a few times today. I think they will make you very happy.
@Appfaff @Jett129 @Chap @Brock @YesBlank thank you'll gents. I'll be wearing them regularly and posting pics too. @Giles informed me that the release will be a way off, so there should be plenty of time for us to get an idea of how they develop.

Great review! I have a good opinion now on this denim. Are there plans to do this in the other cuts as well?
