Here's a little personal project: my own protype pair of 125s, from the first draft of the pattern, worn daily for a year or so: Hand dyed indigo in Japan with an Achilles' Heel grip at the back of the waist: The way the indigo sends the darker parts almost purple, while retaining the traintracks, marbling, and teeth, is really lovely I think, as is the watery contrast around the washed undyed denim at the back. I've not yet seen a heavily worn in pair of regular Achilles' Heel jeans, which are dyed while the denim is still fresh, and the fading will be different, but equally lovely I think. As I say this is just a personal pair, but I thought they might be appreciated here!

Gorgeous! lovely how the sideways-cut yoke has a different tone from the up-and-down cut front panels, and ruches them in along the seam.

all in good time!

A lovely photo from a great friend of the brand, with his type 960 double breasted jacket and the best worn pair of 130Ps I’ve seen. Thanks Marc!

I'm sure I remember a few people alluding to their own home-made jeans projects, and I thought it would be cool to have a thread for jeans that people have made themselves. Doesn't matter how amateur they are, and failed attempt stories are welcome too. Home-made is always best:)
