ha, very good job with the picture geowu. yyou can just barely see on the 5 month one how dirty they were, where the spots were all washed out they were almost brownish colored with dirt, the wash did a good job clearing all that out and letting the worn parts show through.

don't worry, these pictures are just the start...i'm still working on them, you'll see them again in 6 months if they are still in one piece.

about 6 months of everyday wear.

ha, thats just light from wear... not even a stain

im glad you guys like them, im pretty happy with them too. it was like diving into a cold pool every morning putting them on, i would hesistate because they felt so gross and were almost brown from dirt but after jumping in them it didn't feel too terrible.

they are new standard

lots of good old fashion wear for as long as it was bearable to put up with the smell and dirt, then a warm soak with some arm and hammer detergent (i was thinking of going for woolite black but i decided id rather loose a little of the color to try to make them look more contrasty so i just used any old detergent, though the arm and hammer worked well didn't take too much color away from the already dark areas and lightened up the lighter ones). after the first soak to get all the soap out i did a hotter wash with warm to hot water, then hung them up to dry.

and i think they came out well.

i dont know if i'm going to wash them for a while, but ill post a picture when i do.

ive been browsing this forum for quite a while now but have never posted... i felt like i should share my apc's with you guys, ive had them for about 5 months
