You just gotta stay strong in not washing them for at least 6 months. Someone I know washed his after a week, and it turned out all blotchy..

And as for the gym thing.. it really depends on your body type and your style.. if you're a skinnier guy it's all good.. all raw denim is meant to be worn fairly snug.. or else you won't get your fades. IMO it kinda looks a little awkward if you take a huge muscular guy and throw a pair of skinny jeans on him.
it also depends. I have a skinny skeletal structure but I work out alot so my muscle:bone ratio is bigger. That's why I end up with a smaller waist than in proportion to my body. It's not always a matter of just being skinny or big, cus different heights, muscles in different areas, etc come into play.

also +1 for unbrandeds. Although I've never owned a pair before, I've tried a pair on and lemme just say the swag on those are on point. They won't have as big of a selection of fits and styles as its mother line n&f does, but definetly worth a go at.

PS: if you're into a pair of cheap nudies, I've got two available. Thin Finns and Average joes at my signature down below. Check em out, still lots of life left. Only worn for 2 weeks each and minor fading. The pricing is negotiable so feel free to hit me an offer. I just have a huge collection of nudies and sorta feel guilty for it so I'm selling em for cheaper.
