Mine were the shrink to fit raw denim type. I washed them inside out and air dried. Unless they are heavily soiled, I wash the jeans less frequently. As a result, these jeans have kept their dark indigo appearance, which I prefer.

I usually wear 34/30 so I bought 36/32. Can't believe I have worn these for 6 years. Someone mentioned selvedge jeans. That is all there were in the '70's and I remember how the legs would twist on Levis. Apparently, the twist is now desirable, but not for me.

I wear a watch, does that count?

Outstanding. I love everything about this knife. :)

I carry either a vintage Boker Barlow or Case "whittler".

Never carried a knife until 10 years ago when an associate suggested it. Now I cannot live without them. During the week I carry a vintage Tree Brand Barlow. On the weekends I use a Gerber clip type or a Gold Steel if hiking/outdoor activity. Those along with a money clip are in the left hand...

Yes!!:) Those movements are readily available online.

I've added a 1901 Hamilton 940 to my collection since I last read this thread.
