Took a trip to the Vinyard this weekend, here are a few pics of the trip as well as some pictures of the jeans, 3-4 days after their fourth wash.

I've just been through my diary and tried to guestimate how many days wear I've put into my competition jeans (TCB 60s), and I reckon it's around 85 days +/- 5 days maybe. I haven't updated recently because there's not a lot to update. I had a 2 week jeans wearing hiatus whilst I was on holiday in Andalucia, and due to small children / clumsiness, these have been subjected to more washes than they should have been (3 I think if you include the initial soak). These are VERY comfy jeans. The denim strikes a balance between interesting texture and great colour, and as they begin to show wear, the texture is starting to show. The following pics aren't up to much, having been taken on iPhone and it's hard to find the right light to highlight the fades / fabric and I won't use filters so here they are: Some more macros are in order, and when I can be arsed, I will do some!

 

Some roping:

 

my favourite fade- halfway down my left thigh, this ridge has developed in pretty much any seated position (colours a bit off):

 

 

66 coin pocket fade - I noticed that almost all 66 repros seem get this weird diagonal double slash fade below the coin pocket (again, colour is WAY out on my monitor):

 

 

Some chatter:

 

 

Some slub (is that right?) and the begins of some tracks:

 

 

This is closest to the right the colour v:

 

 

Edit - just remembered that I have the cutoffs from when these were hemmed, so I will do a comparo at some point of then and now.

nice texture, reminds me a bit of my 66 whereas it is still more subtle.

[Maynard Friedman]

Looking good HC. I think 60s style repro jeans get pronounced coin pocket roping as they are chainstitched there rather than the usual single needle stitch found on jeans from previous eras.

in a year or two this patch is going to win this grand prix all by itself!

Those Red clouds are cool. Which model are they?

r400s 21 oz

change of MO just for the sake of it, different lighting, its more or less accurate, but i lack both skill and tools to get this done properly.

 

113 days in, 6 wash, 7th was in 2 days (115)

 

 

 

 

they are already lighter-coloured than my 634S after 700 days and 30 washes. generalizations this and that, in the end, I guess this denim just fades real fast, washing it frequently or not. then again, the 634S is another extreme...

[Max Power]

Looks really good. All these updates make me wish I could wear my pair tight now. But they're still not delivered after the repair.

[Max Power]

OK, they seem to be lost or at least nobody knows where they are right now. Suits my bad luck that I had lately.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Do you have a plan B?

[Max Power]

Hope is not lost yet, so far all my lost parcels showed up. I'm just losing precious time to wear them. If they get lost, I might switch to either my Samurai 710BKB or 710DMO.

I hope they will turn up soon.

Would suck immensely if they are lost.

I cross my fingers.

WxExY : 2nd wash, but 1st real wash after 6mos = 3mos of effective light wear.

Crinkle galore. Especially by the hems cuz I've been wearing them uncuffed & inseams are not long enough to stack. I'm glad I SU1 on them cuz I don't think a tighter fit'd go well with crinkles

Denim direction seems toward a more vintagey/less contrasty fade__ w/c i was anticipating.

Still iPhone5 snaps, sorry

BM, denim on those looks very nice. Good bit of roping setting in too.

[BrownMetallic]

^ Tnx, man!

Denim is nice & crinkly ... I'd say more than on the SFx5EP & FC 13.5ozers I've experienced.

Imminent tracks & roping mosdef to be expected

I feel your pain right now, I dropped my pair off at SESF early last month but the turn around is like 4-5 weeks

[DhaDha]

i hope you get your jeans back max. would suck if they gone missing after 4 months of competition.

Great views Spitfire. Did you pick the back pocket stitching? Considering unpicking mine. I'm kinda thinking any stitching that doesn't resemble an arcuate looks a bit naff.

[spitfiredealer]

I got these off the bay and the guy had already unpicked them. Unpicked them then cold soaked and decided he didn't like them. Which equalled a result for me as I would of got rid of them myself.

[Blue Nemo]

Whaaaaat?! I think ONIs arcuates are sooo cool!! Honestly, they are in my top three maybe with flat head international arcs and red cloud wukong arcs....

Sacrilege

Haha different strokes for different folks mate. I think they are some of the worst

[bradl]

Got word I am able to add my warehouse jacket to the tux side of the competition. Pretty excited, as it's already shaping up nicely after a few weeks

[KrisB]

bradl, pics?

[bradl]

I'll post some up after the weekend, but until then there is some pictures in the warehouse thread.
