After today's shipping update, I'll be using UPS rather than Fedex for my future purchases. Can't get down with Fedex playing with my emotions   

Past the expected delivery time. Just noticed SPECIAL HANDLING SECTION states Deliver Weekday which could mean I'm not getting my package until Monday 
Should have never got my hopes up

@sabergirl:

Welp, FedEx is still tracking delivery for today, but since it’s almost 9pm…..

Dang, you have me worried about mine. My package has tomorrow by 10:30 am as the scheduled delivery date. Hoping It's true.

Selfedge created a shipping label for my purchase yesterday. Hoping for the tracking to change by the end of today. I'm hoping it'll fit. Reading SE's store policy, it seems sale items cannot be returned, "All sales of discounted shirts/jackets are final." Am i out of luck if the shirt doesnt fit?

For those who have been wearing their pair, hows the stretch on these? Waist and thigh is a little tight on mine. I'll post pics when I get the chance.

Are these the same as the brass keyring that come with the jeans?

Man, I missed the sale. I thought it was good until tonight. Man 

Could I request for the smallest waist for a certain size that has multiple in stock?

@xtcclassic:

Despite these being sanforized, they do shrink a fair bit. At least mine did. I don't know specifically how much, because I wasn't expecting any shrink and therefore didn't take any pre-wash measurements, but it was enough for me to immediately notice as soon as I put them on. I'm sure you'll get at least a half inch in the waist, just soak in hot water, inside out, and make sure to give them some agitation.

Thanks, I wanted to get as much shrinkage I could get before I get them tapered via railcar.

Since these are sanforized, a soak is unnecessary right? I want the waist to shrink at least half an each. Would it be possible to soak them in hot water to get the shrinkage I want?

@KrisB:

@yambs have you checked self edge?
Last time I checked they had some pairs laying around, but I can't recall which sizes

Selfedge sold out in the sizes I'm looking for. Knew I should I bought them last month 

If anyone has a brand new pair for sale in any size 28 through 30 I will pay a premium

@DanielAFC:

I haven't been able to wear mine much until a few weeks ago, but the initial fading that is starting to come through now is a really nice electric blue. I'll try to get some photos up here soon

@madmonday:

@babyknight , @twin & @zatenm thanks all for the kind word.  i think i'll squeeze into these from time to time as the denim really looks nuts.  in hindsight i should of grabbed a pair of vulcans when i had the chance as I'm a fan of the fade of this denim, just didn't want another pair sitting around getting no love.

here's some shots just cause pictures seem to be lacking a bit over here:

How much stretch did you get in the waist and thigh?

Does anyone know where I could see how these age/fade? I can't seem to find any. I want to see how they fade before I buy. I heard left twill's fading tend to be a bit more blurry than right-hand twill.

@Giles:

• NOTE: These will shrink approx 1.5" in the leg and 1" in the waist after first soak/wash. With wear the waist will stretch back out approx 1"

So if I buy the size 29 the leg opening will shrink to approximately 5.3 inches since its originally 6.8 inches?
Or is that 1.5 shrinkage for the length of the inseam? How much shrinkage could I expect in the leg opening?

How much do these stretch?

Does hemming the jeans change the measurement of the hem or would it be just like the measured hem before its hemmed. I would think if I get the jeans cut short the hem would become bigger. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
