Best example: those grandpas who only own one pair of cheap ass jeans, but get the nicest fades without even thinking about it. Seen quite a few of these.
@offyatree: superb SDAs, man!

can't rep either, but very very nice! pretty dark still for 7 washes!

How hard you wear your jeans is certainly the most important factor. I'd just like to add that the cut itself and sizing decisions also contribute to the fading. Slimmer cuts - ideally sized down like 3 - should look considerably different than a repro cut TTS.
I for example couldn't get any honeycombs in my ALD Frontiers (thanks for the rep everyone!), which are pretty loose. I still like em tho, don't get me wrong, I just think that the fades that turn most heads on any denim forum are high contrast fades, which are achieved by HARD wear, few to no washes and sizing down.
But somebody can probably find a pair that contradicts my statement. It's all relative and there are so many factors to consider. But that's why I love that shit! ;D

Been shooting with a cheap analog SLR (Fujica ST605n) since September. Comments appreciated!

As far as I know they discontinued their line. The Pure Edition and the other one are the last pairs...

Never ordered from them, but they always seem to have all the newest models...
Yup, sanforized, almost zero shrinkage. The crotch on my Frontiers blew out on my 8 month old pair, but I wear my jeans pretty low which IMO supports crotch blowouts... But whatever, the denim is beautiful and streaky (but the selvage denim is probably different, never handled those) and if you're into the whole aesthetic of the brand, go get em. I can't comment on the fit of the prescots tho...

Yeah, I like em too, but I'm always very sceptical towards Evisu EU stuff, cause you never really know what kinda denim they use. The japanese stuff makes it a lot easier to differenciate (no. 0 - no.3), maybe they should do the same with the european stuff and grade it somehow... They use italian denim, don't they?

Hi, nice info and pics! There is one thing I really need to know about Yamanes: What about the inseam? When I was browsing Rakuten, almost all stores only offered a 33 inch inseam... What options do you have at the Store? 35 like Evisu No.2's or even a a 36?

Old news? I love this jacket anyway.

The blue & black Ebisu I was talking about aren't exactly overdyed...

Pretty ugly, but still I'd be interested in seeing a worn-in pair...

Can someone please tell me if there are any Yamanes with a longer inseam than 33? I searched a lot of Rakuten stores and none actually had them - if they exist...

The denim looks incredible, there also is some new model which is black and blue (overdyed?)... But stitched on gulls are a bit of a bummer for me.~_~

vintage-sunglasses.de does carry normal glasses, not that much tho. I kinda liked these:

It seems Earthmarket began stocking Yamane. The price (14700 yen) is tempting indeed.

ryu, yes, it's actually slubby, but more like a sandpaper ザラザラ slub, instead of burlap ゴワゴワ slub you get from oni or pure blue. and it's heavy! it might be the cut, but it's physically pretty heavy, so it's a little challenging in this heat. ちょっと暑いっす。
funny beats, but i think you can see that this denim should suit your steez just fine, too.
chad, talk to you when you get back.
Mind to elaborate on those onomatopoeia, their use and meaning, Chicken? Denim related Japanese FTW.

Just found these, seem to have a lower rise and a weird pocket design... But definitely more appealing to me than the other cuts I have to say.

What about black seagulls? I always wondered what these would look like on a worn pair. Plus hardly anybody has these.

As fas as I'm concerned, I'm pretty much out of the Sammie Contest... I just don't like the options so far.... Sorry. But there's still a lot of time. Let's see what comes up.

Whoa! Those are yours? Can we get some details? As you can see in this thread, I've been geeking on the D62s for a while but never pulled the trigger. Watchman--I think the D62s are the closest they have to a '66, but I was never 100% sure about the measurements so that's why I never ordered them. I'm due for a new pair and this has re-sparked my interest.
No, man, I wish these were mine.I got that picture off the G-a-r-d-e-n site. Do they ship internationally BTW?
As far as I figured it out with Google Translator they offer 3 cuts, tight, bootcut and straight leg, but ,yeah, measurements seem fucked up. I guess they are not sanforized, but I'm not sure at all.
