HUNCHBAK

It's been snow like crazy here in NYC, so I thought, what better way to disinfect my denim, by burying them under a foot of snow...

I like the fact that mostly everyone's jeans fade different. Kinda jealous, I don't do much in mine. I tell myself to just abuse them, coffee/beer stains, when I'm shooting, sit on the floor instead of crouching, but I guess my denim is stubborn. 

Still, I like the Hue of the Cult's.. It has a richer Blue cast than the Samurai's I'm used to.

And December is here... The Time I usually grab a fresh Pair... Sadly, I think I'm going to have to pass this time.

It's been a Minute! Sorry guys & Gals... Just for the record, Slight sharpening, no other post production.

I own TOO many...

I have an extensive collection of all sorts of Levis, with the rarest pair being a 501 with "555" on the heads of the Shanks/Rivets, 2 pair of Samurai's, Numerous G-Star, Energie, Diesel, a few Lee's One pair of Wrangler Blue Bell, a few Gap Selvedge, a couple of Evisu, even though I had many more, I gave a lot of it away and too many smaller brands European/Japanese/Domestic... 

My rotation is 2 pair of Cult of Individuality (one I designed), Samurai S710XX, a Levis 511 and a Rag & Bone engineered jean, With the 17oz Cult's getting the most wear... I keep the rest of the stash in Bins with Cedar chips..

Here's some Blurry Cam Selfies of my Cults... Wasn't a good day to wear them because it was really hot, but they did come in handy, being I was on the ground most of the time for low level shooting.

 

 

I'll post some Updated detail shots of my Cults soon.

Here's my Heavyweight Driving Challenge... 

A few weeks back, Cult of Individuality had a photo shoot for the Spring '14 campaign, out in Long Island.. Being from Queens, it was a little longer drive than I'm used to..

CHALLENGE 2: SPORTS STAR

-Well, I wish... Figured this was a easy one, play on the Blacktop with my son... Mu "Ups" aren't like they used to be.. Still, it was fun. Last night was the closet to perfect weather you can get in NYC. That being said, my jumper wasn't  there...

Going for the ankles after falling from a cross-over, not cool...

My Cult Of Individuality jeans.. I just like the darkness of the pic, with the highlight being the fade of my wallet.   [/url] P1090722 by REP96st, on Flickr">

I hate doing Tech Packs, but my second least favorite thing in design is friggin' Specs. But hey, you gotta get it right, or else!

Anyways, updated fit pics, getting some nice hues, mostly visible on my wallet pocket.

2.5 months??

Just a copy/paste job rom the Pics Only thread..

Around 4 months in.. Going strong in 97 degree weather... Insanity is settling in. [/url] CULT17oz7-19A by REP96st, on Flickr">

Being that NYC weather has been incredibly lousy, my Cult's have been a little too "moist" from sweating and humidity.. so I gave them a 24+ hour freeze...

Sorry i think this is my fault, I must have touched a "RAW" nerve

[drums, then cymbal goes off.]

Really? Didn't even read your own post, or the date of the quote before you posted? Hard to believe, but some people are that stupid.

Well Obviously you ARE that stupid to pick a internet-spat with me over a "Quote". How pathetic and lowly of you. You didn't even make the comment I even replied to, so What's your beef, really?

Slow day at the job?

Partner not showing you any love? 

I'm taller than you?

Here's the floor... Shoot your parting shots and be done with it... I don't do internet beef. I gotta get back to designing and tech packs, You get no more attention.

Also funny how you come in here, quote a post from six years ago, and then act like it's relevant. Bravo.

Did I?

Hm.

Great minds think alike I suppose... Unless I just Re-Quoted Myself.. I kind of do that sometimes.

wow, from all you so-called denim lover......doesn't the original levi's only have one back pocket as well?? so much for embracing the difference in design and changes.

Yeah Right?

Some so-called "Denim Heads" need to do some homework.. Here ya'll go...

And it's funny how styles change, Denim and Brands people used to wear, now Despise... I'm sure a lot of people on this site used to wear brands like Seven, PD&C, R&R, Gap, Guess, Etc, Etc... 

Dudes want to divorce the denim they used to wear. Funny.

HUNCHBACK, props for a great movie from back in the day.

Haha! Thanks! I wish I had more time to flip more text, but I was in a rush...

Here's a couple more pics of my Cult Denim.. I'll post up a few fit pics later...

The denim is starting to produce a nice blue hue, giving off a more contrasty blue, compared to my Samurais.. Still, nothing in my stash beats the texture given by my Sammies...

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...
