Nice work @ Jercules. Mine have about a year of wear and 1 wash

Here is my pair similar fades in the back pocket. Mine is the older v2 version but same fabric.

All feel different and have very different Characteristics. The 16oz slb is the most breathable. The 19 is a left hand twill and unsanforized. Its stiffer and more rigit with great fade pottential. The 14 oz is a nice all year weight. Then you have the 25oz heavy but softens up beautifully with wear and fades very nicely. You have the 18 with vintage fades, the 17oz with natural indigo. They all feel different, fade different so at the end of the day it is a matter of preference and variety.

My daily tool watch.

Some people have an elitist mentality. That true homage bs and cannot see 1 inch past their index fingure. Customers like that you can loose for a lot of trivial reasons. It's difficult to make everybody happy nor should you try. Stay true to your values and the right customer will always be there.

An easy test of mobility is the overhead squat. Load is not important. If you can overhead squat an empty bar with full depth, ample thoracic extension and heels on the ground you are generally in good shape. It will expose limitations at the upper back, hips and ankle.

My experience was different. I was expecting the 25oz 634 to be difficult to wear in the beginning and alot of forum members were having a hard time button them up. Never for me. They felt pretty comfy by day 2. My 634 leftie v2 still gives me hard time to button the top button after 2 years of wear. Its interesting how we all have our own personal experiences.

That looks great @MassiveThighs. Never go by tag size. Learn the measurements that fit you well and go by those. You will get consistent and better fit all the time and avoid all the back and forth hassle associated with returns.

There is definitely an issue with the purchasing site. The forum works fine but when I go to purchase something I cannot even login. Is just sitting there. Hope you guys are able to resolve it quickly.

@welfare_burrito. If the measurements of both 14OZ and XHS look similar yes go for the same tag size. I never had the need to size up for XHS. To me they fit just like the rest. So my answer is more likely same tag size but do a compare between both.

You can size up if the waist is snug. If not you will end up with a loose top block and they will sag. You can get away sizing up easier on the 777's in my opinion. The low rise is more forgiving with a roomy or loose top block. I don't see what is the apprehension if you size the 888's correctly. It's a solid cut and you can ger away with sizing down on those. Find out what your ideal.measurement are and get a pair that is as close to possible to those measurements.

@GardenState. No worries my man. I think the hem differences are negligible at least on the 888 cut. The taper from knee to hem is not that big. I personally like wider hems anyways.

I agree with what everybody suggested. Pretty much is a personal preference thing. I wouldn't worry about losing the taper if you decide to hem your 888's unless you are hemming really short like under 32 inches. I have not seen a noticeable difference. I have both hemmed and umhemmed. Now the heavy creasing and potential damage is very real if you decide to cuff. My suggestion is to uncuff them at night and try to wear them some times without a cuff, specially when you are around the house. It will help with the heavy creasing and potential tears.

They are rad as feck @Oaktavia. I have a pair and they are my favorite cut.

Alex that will be Awesome

Lol I will take them in any denim but if I had my way a 19L in those and I will get 3 pairs. Lol

But they will be available in Japan? @Daniel-San
