Currently THE happiest camper because it's in the 50s (~12C) this morning. I need more of this. Why do I live here, again?

That's cool. I dig the lighter blue, almost sort of a Lee or Wrangler vibe.

@SKT dude thank you! I'll definitely give you the rundown.

@Giles Ah, right on! I saw the tomboy part but didn't realize that was an actual model. So it's non selvedge 21oz, or another weight? Totally different fabric? I'm intrigued.

@Mizmazzle totally did. Got the itch now, haha

@goosehd I knew that was coming!

Apparently he demanded payment up front for any show he played, in the form of a suitcase with cash in it. So maybe the lesson here is to selectively be like Chuck haha

@sabergirl I definitely have IH Syndrome, in the sense that I bet the SBG type III would feel radically soft compared to the Lefty. Practically feel like I'm not wearing pants when I wear my 634SBGs after wearing XHS most of the time.

@jordanscollected hell yeah, Chuck Berry style!

@Mizmazzle it went really well, man — thank you! I've played in bands for years, but this was the first time I've gotten on stage all by myself and done the singer songwriter thing. Really glad to rip the band-aid off. Now time for more

@mitzimeow people on here (myself included) will probably tell you that the 21oz is the softest denim IH makes, aside from maybe the 16oz slub. If you wash them, they might shrink a bit but they'll stretch back out to where they are now with just a couple wears.

You can stretch out the waist with a pant stretcher like the one I'll post below. I bought one and it was well worth it, as it's helped me get a little extra in the waists of a couple pairs of jeans that were a little too tight for me. I haven't done it myself, but I believe you can get even more stretch if you use the stretcher while the jeans are wet.

PS sorry for that big ugly link. You can also just look up "pants stretcher" on Amazon and you'll get quite a lot of options. Typicall the wooden semicircle bits with the adjustable threaded piece in between.

I hear ya. Having a really comfy one would be super nice as an alternative.
