They look so sick Jacob. Awesome work mate.

They look awesome Danny! Need to get mine repaired so I can wear them through this winter.

The redesign on the leather patch looks great.

New rail looks so awesome Danny, hope you have a good time in Japan and see you when you get back!

fit is spot on man, good choice.

Thanks, all based of Danny's advice!

xEnvy, the fit is on point.. Thanks for such a great post.

Come and see us at Apartment 58. Espresso for £1.00 Japanese beer. Our denim collection. In Central London. You'll love it.

Thanks mate, no worries!

I definitely will just tell me when that'll be possible and I'm there!

Around 4 months of wear:

With much embarrassment for how late this post is I can finally post this here! Sadly I haven’t had any image editing software to get these images sorted but now they are here!

I got in touch with Danny at Rivet and Hide and made an appointment to see him, however before actually purchasing anything we went to a great pub literally across the road and had a wonderful discussion and chat about denim and the future of Rivet and Hide over a drink, what more do you want?!

Then we entered Danny’s amazing place, it’s literally like a denim mecca with so many pairs and brands and other products I had a first hands on experience with some Steel Feathers and a pair of Flat Head 3001s which are definitely going to be my next purchase. Midway through trying things on Danny also made me quite frankly a bloody brilliant espresso; putting his barista skills into action, talk about hospitality once again!

I also finally got to understand why people rant and rave about the Flat Head hoodies and jumpers, the fabric on them really is incredible. Another purchase that is also going to be made is that of one of the Rivet and Hide bridle leather belts, the colour on them is gorgeous and the quality of the leather is wonderful.

But to the business at hand, on the day I purchase a size 31 pair of Hiut Slim Selvedges after talking about what kind of fit I wanted and liked with Danny and all I can say is that his advice and understanding of what I wanted was spot on and they’re made here in the UK so I’m helping out the economy aha!

As you can see they definitely needed a hem which Danny said would be done that very evening on their Union Special 43200g and the jeans would be back with me again in less than 36 hours. It was awesome to get to see one of these machines in the flesh considering how legendary they are.

Here you can see the fit again and me as one very happy customer! I really love the Kuroki denim these are made of and the build quality on them is incredible especially with all the little details:

Here’s their first real outing and fit, they travelled with me to Edinburgh to see the city and be a tourist in general as a break from their standard uni life:

Love the really sharp honeycombs they have.

And here they are just under 2 months of wear down the line, finally breaking in with electric blue hints on the whiskers and honeycombs and of course the wallet fade:

Colour isn’t true on the front ones, but the view of the back is true to colour

Absolutely love this pair and they are by far my go to, going to be wearing them for as long as possible before their first wash where they’ll probably lose another inch or inch and a half in the inseam so will then see whether or not they need to be hemmed or anything at all, this is mainly so I can have an excuse to go see Danny again!

Odd that your jeans always tear so early. Fits for both your Imperials and this APC pair are on point. Hmm, maybe it's just bad luck.

Yeah I know it's really annoying :/ I can only presume that it's because I don't have any others in rotation so the Imps were being worn every day until they had an almost crotch hole (which I need to get sorted although they're at my parents place) so then I got the APCs but I've been wearing them consistently for the past 2months+ so now they need repairing.

Little update on my APCs, fades are a bit brighter but it was really cloudy when I took these. 2 months and 2 weeks:

Need to get a small crotch hole repaired, sending them off on monday or tuesday.

They've also had a hot soak now so I'll post some updates when I have the chance.

faler- that video is hilarious! hahahaha

The trailer for the book is pretty sick as well:

APCs a month and a few days:

Really want to see the prospectors, think they might be my next pair!

Custom OGL wallet oiled twice now:

The way it came to me:

now:

1 week of wear and the creases have started to set in, combs should look nice and sharp further down the line I hope!

The crotch blow out is because they're a little loose there, so there are 3 creases which rub because they stick up more I guess if that explains it so that's what's caused it.

The strange thing is that the thighs aren't really tight and I don't have big thighs, it's just like i said where the denim has creased and rubbed against itself.

They are a tagged size 31 when I usually wear a size 30/29 and I gave them a cold soak when I first got them and they've been worn since then. I guess I should've soaked them again?

The denim is really abrasive though, when new they literally feel sandpaper like with all the slubs but hey it's all part of wearing raw denim and variety is the spice of life! I have to say I love the texture of them even though they've softened up a huge amount but the character of the denim is great.

that doesn't look like a lot of fading for that level of crotch blow out... are these known for falling apart fast?

Yeah the amount of crotch wear is a real pain as I love them and their texture.

He probably just sized down too much I'd think.

I sized down one taking in to the account of shrinkage with their soak and subsequent washes so they've only been sized down once, I think it's more because of the already skinny fit but I think it looks good:

Imperial x Self Edge SEXI14s before I send them off to be repared

Areas to be fixed:

Probably the last pics before I send them to Self Edge to have the holes that are starting in the crotch repaired to prevent a blow out:

Here's the fit of my new PS size 29

I'll hopefully be able to make it to the launch party, any ideas whereabouts in London the shop is going to be?
