lol...like manipulate the space-time continuum? 

 

My jeans is still in kojima, according to Danny & Beatle.

I just discovered several cracks on my patch. It was dry from the beginning and several oilings had no effect. I will start the big oiling and greasing session tonight, but if the trend continues, I will loose the patch within this comp. That's a shame.

Starting to see some Blue poking out...

[HUNCHBAK]

I've been back since mid April and I'm still playing catch up. Working abroad then coming back to the states can be a little stressful, from laundry to editing photos. Here's a shot of HK Bay, in my opinion, better than NYC's own skyline...

Guys, I just got back from Tokyo yesterday so therefore I am extending the deadline for sending payment for new orders to the end of Monday. I will send through the order on Tuesday morning, and advise as soon as possible after when I expect delivery to take place.

 

Thank you to those who have already ordered and paid.

[saintkeat]

Max, you can email samurai for another patch. Just pay a small fee to get the leather recrafted and sent to you. I did that with my 003jp-a. It came back perfect!

[Max Power]

Worth a try, thank you!

[McBain]

 

 

challenge accepted. but I guess photoshop is not my strong side .

[Max Power]

I really like this one. Great job.

[ToddjColey]

Thas is sick Mcbain!

Tender 129s, Road Champs, and Master's Regalia:  next-level style.

 

Here I am, reading an ancient tome on the properties of early indigo fabrics.

My MA is in Denim Studies, by the way, and the honor cords are for superior chainstitching technique and practice.

[FLDenim211]

I got a laugh out of the +2 more years on the Ted recreation, and quite the Indigo scholar we have here, one day maybe I can ascend to the ranks of an Alumni in the Denim world

[FLDenim211]

I have a second thought that has been itching me since I came up with the idea to go to the Meet-up for the 1 year mark in California.  I am not yet at or over the age of 21 years old so I cannot rent a vehicle, I do not have dependable family in the area either...so just how do I transport myself around other than the pain of staying central or close and walking/manual transportation?

[saintkeat]

We'll sort that out when the time comes, I'm sure many of us wouldn't mind car pooling.

[midvalleyfarm]

Mass trans in the bay area is pretty good.  You can get a 10-day muni pass pretty cheap that lets you ride the bus and most streetcars as often as you like.  Bart is decent as well, but no passes since it's pay-by-distance.  Whenever I go down for a job thats all I do.

HC-IH-01 - Iron Heart Mega Beatle Busters - Almost three months of wear.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Worn with my HWDC belt, and a Voyej key hook.

For a comparison, here are my HWDC1 jeans, Samurai S5000VX 21oz, after 2 years of wear.

Great pairs, those Sams are beautiful

[Megatron1505]

HC-IH-45 - TommyTron - Mini Buster Specials

 

 

 

 

 

[Max Power]

I love those 5000VXs. Unfortunately I never get such nice structure on my pairs, guess I should wash more frequently and hotter to achieve that. A little evo update, however my better lense is broken and thus the pictures are a bit blurry. Sorry.

You can see the patch oiled yet cracking.
