I've arranged for my brother to come round with his digital camera to snap some shots to put online. I can't believe you changed my title man :eek:

Did you get the one-wash or the hardwashed ones you started this thread with?

I haven't seen them but I'm guessing the one-wash is nothing different from regular one- wash. They've just already shrunk them up so the customer doesn't have to take shrinkage into account. Some people prefer that.

If you got the hard washed ones then I'm sorry to tell you but they will never look anything near the ones pictured above.

The hard washed version looks like there is hardly any indgo left to work with to make them your own. At best the wear on them will look a little less artificial over time and blend in with whatever wear you manage to get on them. It's going to be hard work though.

Christophe his trousers look the way they look because the have been lived and worked in for over a year. It's near impossible to fake that kind of wear.

Anyway, wichever pair you got post up some pics of yours.

Good to see them on someone and not in a studio/photochopped pic.

Yes I bought the ones in the picture which I presume are "hard-washed". Do you think they won't wear well? BTW, who changed the title of this thread

Wait, I'm confused now, did you end up getting the raw version?

Please say that's the case 'cause I seriously don't hope that you think you can get that kind of wear on the hard washed ones.

I bought the washed version. Do you think they won't wear well over the next 6 to 12 months? I want to make them look well lived in and rough up like those other images.

They look incredible!!! Only minus for me is the big leather pocket. Being a veggie I try to avoid leather -- and invariably fail.. I have 3 pairs of jeans all with leather patches... but those jeans are incredible and I hope mine end up looking half as good.

I am filling the sink now. How long should I leave them to soak?

They arrived and I am very happy with the fit. Only slight moan is the denim is stiffer than I imagined. Now I have to work out how to get a photo up.

You make a fair point and it has some true. That said, if we're all really honest deep down what other people think does have an impact on who we are and how we act. I like the the look of the jeans and the fact that a lot of others don't just cements my opinion. I order them yesterday and I'll put up a photo when they arrive. Assumming they fit. That's why I prefer to buy from shops!

I think I like them precisely because most people don't

So it's a definite no? I really want to try these in-store before I buy and being a technophobe I don't like buying online. I guess it's time to take the plunge and expose my Visa to the online gremlins!

Does anyone know a store in the NY area which sells these Sugar Cane Limited Edition denim jeans???
