I used to be unable to stick to one pair of jeans for any extended period of time. However, I've worn my LB40s 5-6 days per week since I received them in January. The timing is actually pretty nice as I'll be putting them to the side at the one year mark for the contest. I'm feeling confident that I can be just as disciplined for the contest pair which I'm excited about because I've never faded a pair for 18 months straight.
