Somar

Because of the little UES book, I actually thought these were slow faders. Didn't quite expect them to fade like this!

 

I'll make some detail shots this afternoon to show how they are breaking down on some area's. I got broken threads and the denim is wearing through on different spots.

Oh and I can see a crouch blow out coming up, I'm already counting down. Anybody else with a crotch blowout?

@somar maybe i'm just overly-cautious since the pair of 800 i had several years ago shrunk too much in the waist after several washes, but you may want to consider cold-soaking those for the start (looks possibly tight in the waist)!

 

Too late, I have already washed them the ''UES-way''. I gave them a hot soak for 30/40 minutes and then a machine wash on 40 degrees. Here are the results: 

 

 

 

More fit pics here...  

 

 

They are a bit snug after the wash marathon they got, but I wouldn't call them too tight. Also, I believe in the power of stretch!

Holy sh*t SLAB, both pairs look awesome!!!

Pre wash fit pics: 

 

 

 

And more here...

 

 

Much better this way

That was just a joke mate haha... I only meant that I ''joined the club'' by buying a pair of WH's

They will definitely get a lot of wear after the UES competition! Can't wait ...

Thanks for the kind words guys! Means a lot! 

 

Made some pictures that I would like to share... Here we go

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I just signed for a Warehouse-club membership: Bought myself a pair of 800's at Bread & Butter Berlin!

 

I have been going through some pages on this thread and I just realized that I've struck gold!

Flo, those fit pics are perfect! And thanks b_F, it's time to drop a massive foto-bomb again... They'll be up soon. By the way, is this the first pair you faded this much?

Anybody going to Berlin next week? Bread & Butter to be exact?

 

And, is the UES meet-up still going to happen in Amsterdam?

Thanks Maynard!

Bumping this thread up with the roping of my UES 400T!

 

 

Same session, but these photo's were made in the shade:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is my 5 months update! They got their first machine wash and I was very pleased with the results .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wow, nice update geL-

 

How many washes have they had so far?

I bought and immediately sold a pair of those. Crazy tight down the legs on myself from the knee down where like Lycra. I liked the silhouette but they were too uncomfortable. Awaiting 1101's now.

 

Sorry for the neg dude! That was unintentionally!

4 months update (these pics are made in the shade)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hey Max, I hope this motivates you. Made these pics a while ago but didn't take the time to upload until now. 

 

These are made around the 4 Months mark (pictures made in direct and full sunlight)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Got some nice roping going on there max! Looking good

Oh man... you guys eat denim for breakfast? Nice updates everybody!
