Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean but I had to put the camera on a shelf to take the pics so they were stuck at a certain angle and I was trying to show the rest of the fit too. People have told me I have a bulky upper body, I dont know.

Not meant as a diss, at all. I guess it's all relative ya know. Just wanna get some sort of idea of what's generally accepted as bulky. Or ANY description used for that matter.

But to not get off track:

Here are my RRDS hang drying after tonight's cold soak. They weren' stinky/dirty or anything like that - but I reall do like the deep blue color and they were getting a bit too loose. Twas time!!

yeah, i saw someone who had a pair in a few months in and they looked EXACTLY like a pair that i sold on ebay a few months back. they fade all the same but imo much better than APC's.

Thanks, they really are very stretchy and comfortable. The denim feels very different from the dry black and dry greycast Slim Jims I have. I haven't tried any long johns so I'm not sure how they compare but the "Dry Comfort" Long Johns are probably pretty similar though they do look slightly different in the pictures I've found online at ZooVillage. I have no idea how the black Long Johns would be.

I can't tell the last one. color is similar to the light blue Rag&Bone color but the texture isn't the same. Maybe Nudie veggie or greycast?

That's all correct and the bottom pair is greycast slim jims that have been soaked a few times. P.S. the title of my post has the jeans listed abbreviated, I didn't mean to not include what they were.

i cant figure out if i like that confort denim more or less than the older indigo finns.

the blue back pocket stitching is pretty cool though.

I was pretty impressed none the less Brian.

No comments on my washed pair?

(I really do not think they look at all different, maybe some more "vertical" fading).

Nudie Baggy Bjorn Selvage, about 5 months old, no washes, 1 dry-clean, moderate wear, with a little cheating here and there(sandpaper).

Think I'll have to worry about signficant inseam shrinkage? It's fine now, but if it shrinks a lot more, it'll look pretty silly, being as they are fairly loose-fitting.

haha, definitely not a bulky (or muscular) upper body by any means, on the other hand the jeans do fit well.

Cultpop, I always wanted some regular Dry nudies but could never find any in the cut/size I was looking for. I think the Dry Comforts look pretty awesome right away without any wear but some people might not like the stretch and I'm not the biggest fan of the deep and low back pockets,

Thank for the compliments on the fit everyone. You guys are right I guess and I was speaking only relative to how tight my jeans fit. I've always worn really slim jeans but I recently got some Julian Reds that are a looser fit and lots of my friends have been telling me they like those on me as if maybe I don't always look the best in the tight jeans I normally wear. I figured out the self-timer strike a pose thing better, here a pic from the side. I don't mean to sidetrack from the topic but maybe this shows a little better what I was questioning.
