Debatable: 3Sixteens, 3 Months In.

Head over to Denim Debate for an update on how, a 1/4 into the year-long project, my 3Sixteens are holding up (pretty well, actually).
Also updated, Emil's Ooe Yofukuten's; un-wawshed, smelling "gross" and blown out crotch.

How do you deal with the dreaded, 'poofy knee syndrome'? (Other than washing).

james said...

Its generally not something that bothers me when wearing them. Of course, laid flat, it's a lot more noticeable. I think it's something that is really based on the pattern and the taper that generally happens from the knee down. Not much to do about it and washing is not in the cards just yet.
Thanks for visiting Secret Forts.

are you wearing these every day?

james said...

A lot, but admittedly, I am not wearing them every every day. I gotta mix it up here and there. Been really loving chinos recently, but have resolved to wear them more and put them to the test.

i think im going to take my jeans with me as i ride to nyack this week on my road bike just to see how fast i can wear them down.

james said...

I've done BK to Nyack. Fixed. Got the most insane looks from dudes in full spandex kit. Rightfully so.

i totally respect it...particularly the three hills going back to nyc on 9w from piermont.

i try to wear the rapha as much as i can afford rather than looking like a superhero but its a great sport and ive never met an asshole on the road...good people.

james said...

Them hills were very often nearly the death of me.
I kit out in Rapha as well. Such a good product.
My buddys at Apolis just released a sweater with them. (kinda my idea).
Dope stuff.
