[georgeel]

My Devils XHS after 4 months of worn & work.
Never washed.

See you later for more snow snow snow!

… And snow!

[Giles]

Wow, great stuff Giorgio….

[ronaldlsh]

Nice honeycombs!

[georgeel]

I said snow? Here it is!

[Matt]

Are your jeans sleeping under there like an Alaskan sled dog?

[k1d.]

you guys make me jealous!! patiently waiting for the day that restocks come in

[Seul]

Update at the end of the month… I seriously hope it will stay cold for another couple of years…

[Matt]

These jeans are a gift and a curse.  The gift is that I never really need more jeans, the curse is that they are so awesome I can't fight the compulsion to own every Devil available.  Giles, please don't make any more Devils, my marriage can't handle the strain.

[Matt]

We finally got a little snow in Maryland… Just in time for a brew day!

[Finn666]

fit's looking ace sir!
maryland…Maryland near VA Beach?

[Matt]

It's about 4 hours or so to the southeast I guess, I've never been.  The entire east coast is basically beaches so we just go to the ones closest to us in Ocean City, MD.  I hear VA Beach is nice though.

I dig the jacket - very seasonal!

[Finn666]

yeah VA beach is awesome…my dad and grandparents live in VA beach and I've been there like 6 times!

Thanks!  You would not believe the shit I get for that thing.  It inspires violent hatred like you wouldn't belive.  I love it.

The beaches up and down the eastern shore are very similar.  Some are more touristy than others but it's nice to have them nearby.  It's a bit of a hike though if I ever wanted to ocean soak any of my jeans.

[Seul]

Leave it to Matt to make me smile… LOVE that jacket... Haters: to the left...

[Matt]

Thanks man! It's a Manastash I got on the inter webs from Hickorees Hard Goods.  It's super fleecy… like I'm wearing a koala bear pelt.

After reading this whole thread, I'm considering grabbing a pair of these as soon as my size is restocked. Those of you who have soaked/washed yours, did you lose any of the sheen? I usually will give my jeans a very gentle wash with Dr. Bronners soap just to remove the starch, but I'd hate to lose the glorious sheen these jeans are known for.

[Matt]

These are sanforized so no starch and no wash necessary.  I started wearing mine in October and don't have a planned wash until they go down for the summer, some time around May.  I highly recommend leaving them be.

i got my pair in october/november (don`t know exactly when)
i soaked it in handwarm water for 5 min. nearly no difference.
so in fact you can leave it as it is!!

it is incredible how slowly they show signs of wear (and i am wearing it every single day).
