Naked & Famous Sakura in True Guy fit

Just got into selvedge denim a little over a month ago. These are one of my favorite selvedge denim jeans. 16.5oz’s. Currently my heaviest pair by .5oz’s. They feel very stiff to be honest. I had a hard time buttoning them up at first but it got easier after every try. Worn them once to the office.

Wondering how these will end up fading. Currently working on a pair of RRL East to West slim bootcut selvedge denim jeans. Anyone else have these Sakura? What are your thoughts?
