Picked these up last week, I wear a 36 x 34 normally, so these were too short and wide, but the price was right ($29.99 at Winners!). DAMNIT!
 
Also copped these at the same price, knight coloured 501XX (NOT STF, no idea why they put the 'XX' there, maybe Cone Mills denim?) rigid raw denim. Stiff as hell when I gave them a soak in woolite, breaking in nicely, starting second week of wear with coin pocket fading (due to zippo), nice honeycombs, and wallet fading.
 



 
Could use another 2" for better stacks, but it looks good right now. Follow its wear here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/51597184@N03/sets/72157625062070149/detail/
 
Good scores? I think so.

Close to two months on my non-STF raw 501's, that's bout 56 wears, no wash other than initial soak to take out some of the excess indigo. Fading nicely:

I got my first pair of Nudie jeans.  The fabric is smooth, thin and tightly woven.  It's medium blue in colour with straight leg.  The tag says "use for 6 months before first wash".  However I'm going to wash it for hygiene.
