  1. I got a pair of PS just after Thanksgiving. I knew that APCs aren't the highest quality jeans but I had no idea how bad it really was, already there is a back pocket hole, crotch blowout, the seams on both selvedge side of both knees have separated and the stitching above the back pockets are falling apart at an alarming rate.

    I would sew it all up but I honestly don't know if I can keep up with all the repairs. I really can't afford a new pair right now, and it's way too late to return them. I'm so fucking done with this brand. I'm getting Iron Hearts next time.

  2. ^it was sarcasm.

    at least I had the chance to compare both pairs directly.

    Here are a few pics of my Deep Indigos after 9,5 months lying to a new pair of DIs.

    On one hand I'd like to give them a soak but on the other I think waiting the longest time possible is the best and the fades could/should be more present.ovsn380kum.jpg

    Those are looking really good, but at the rate that they are fading I would wait at least another 6 months before you even consider washing those. N&Fs fade pretty slowly, if you were them now you will regret it later (unless they're getting really gross in which case, go ahead)

  3. Naked And Famous Red Core. 118 days, 8 hours, 29 minutes and 42 seconds,

    16 weeks for other people.

    Can you find the seven differences Between the two photos?

    1 hour, 36 minutes and 41 seconds of fading????

  4. There aren't many pics of really beat up E2s, which is funny because it seems like literally everyone on every denim forum on the net has a pair.

    Just say this on Rawr denim, the pics speak for themselves, some of the craziest fades I've ever seen.

    There's almost TOO much contrast.

  5. don't feel like spending a ton on jeans this time around. wanted to know what levis cut is closest to APC NS.

    Thanks in advance!

    They don't have one that's super close, the "Matchstick" cut is probably the closest IMO, or you could mess around with 511 sizing...but they're closer to a PS

  6. the pics up above Look like the BIG collab they did a while back

    but they also made a regular 21oz around the same time too i think

    Same denim, they were released at the same time.

    BiG collab has a different patch and chain stitching, other than that I'm pretty sure they're identical. The AMAZING pair posted above is said denim.

  7. guess i'm never washing mine..

    Honestly though, every time I see a picture of the 21oz N&Fs I'm glad that I own a pair.

    I'm just entering the second month with mine...can't wait to see what they look like in a year.

  8. tanner goods?

    That's what I thought, but the keeper looks too wide, and the leather looks like it has more texture than most Tanner stuff, but that could be due to lack of conditioning?

    Either way it's awesome...

  9. That's what I think too (about lots of brands) but aren't nearly all of the worn 3Sixteens out there from the old denim? Has anyone seen worn-in pairs with that sweet new Kuroki denim yet?

    Real good point...I didn't think about this

    How different are the two fabrics?

    Fuckin' perfect man...

    From the pics that I've seen I'm inclined to think that in the long term (2+ years) they are some of the best fading jawnz money can buy. Most Japanese brands/APCs etc just look too vintage and washed out after a lot of wear/washes, 3sixteens keep insane contrast and fade to that wonderful fishscale grey/blue...

    love it
