Errr, close to 3 months... but in the long run it was worth it.

Not as epic as some of you guys, but I currently have:

SD-307's current favorite pair

Fullcount 1109BK

3sixteen st-120x 

 

Sometimes pants: 

RGT SK 14.5oz about 3.5 years of wear on these 

80's 501 STF comfy pants for around the house stuff and dog walks

70's 501 STF redline little e

 

Jackets:

TCB 50's 

Imogene and Willie Wilkins jacket

 

Retired:

APC Petiet Standards purchased in 2008? Given to my wife 

Nudie Grim Tim 

 

Next up:

Denime 66xx

5 months of wear?? Holy smokes! Those look fantastic dude!

Thanks! SDA's 18oz fabric fades really fast, also I think the amount of travel I did in them and washes helped a ton.

That darning is just beautiful!

It really is, Rain is worth every penny!

No fit pics, but here they are.

 

Just got my SD-307's back from Rain and Tyler at Indigo Proof. I gave them free reign to do whatever needed to be done and boy did Rain go to town! So many little things that I did not notice have been fixed, replaced, or reinforced. If you have the time (took a loooong time) I highly recommend sending your stuff to them.  

 

Anyway here they are, maybe about 5 months of effective wear and countless washes:

 

Repair details:

Each button hole was reinforced:

 Cuff repair and reinforcing:

 

There is still more done to them that I'm randomly finding...

Just got my SD-307's back from Rain and Tyler at Indigo Proof, and boy am I happy! I'll post up some fit pics when I can convince my wife to take some shots for me.

Slab they fit tight on me for about 3 days and then they were golden! But as they are now they look great, excited to see what you get into with them!

That's a bummer they won't work out and no worries on the postage, just glad I got to be a part of all this!

Glad they made it!

Ha! that's a good one.

They are currently in transit sitting in the Netherlands on their way to Norway. Should be there in a day or two!

Alright here they are after their final wash on my leg, that last wash really made them pop!

Some hints of combs poping through:

Favourite detail are the fades coming off of the pockets:

I've had great fun with these and once everything settles down with work and the move to LA, I'll grab a pair for myself. I'm in the depths of packing up my house, but I plan on shipping these out tomorrow, have fun with them Mandel!

Alright, looks like I have a few more days left on my leg before I ship off the Denime's to Mandel. I'm going to give them a good washing tonight then get some pics up of their progress tomorrow.

^Was doing this just yesterday...

I'm currently in Vegas working, but thought I'd give another update:

Fades coming along nicely, although a bit darker IRL.

Downtown Vegas is much more my cup of tea than the strip is: 

I'll be back here next week, then I should probably start the process of getting these off to Mandel!

It sure was! Our original plan fell through, so I pointed to a lake on the map and that's what we ended up with!

This trip was also an experiment with our Boston Terrier. He has a ton of anxiety issues so this was the first time he has ever gone camping... He did all right:

Had to have a time out to calm down and left the tent like this:

Adventure dog Cody, who is no stranger to camping:

Dinner time:

Bunch of aging punks:

Next up is a flight back to Vegas for 2 days... My life is pretty crazy these days.

Got another update! Spent the 4th of July deep in the Oregon Cascades and gave the Denime's a proper beating.

 

Started the day with a long 8-mile drive in on mostly dirt roads:

Mount Hood peaking out in the distance: 

Right before the 2 mile hike in. I choose a lake with no trails to it so we could have the place to ourselves, what I did not plan for was the 1/2 mile of Rodedendrine bushes that we had to bushwack through.

Cottonwood Meadow Lake:

Thanks for all the help guys! I guess I sort of knew that was issue, just want to figure out a way to maybe relax the fabric so it isn't so pronounced. Like I said, it doesn't get much wear in the area since there's not pulling/bending in the shin. Hope it kinda just goes away with more wear but otherwise sounds like that's just how it's gonna be. Thanks again!

It will start to wear along the edges of the crease, happens on almost all of the pairs. 

 

Example (not pants, but same concept): 

personally, I like it but to each their own.

Got another update! 

 

I flew into Vegas yesterday for work, and then promptly left that night. Basically only did airport>office>airport but I took a few snaps of from the plane, and inside both airports.

 

Started out the day sleeping through my alarm, so I had to scramble to make it to the airport on time (not fun) 

 

This is PDX, it used to have a really famous carpet, but now it's all gone.

Next up, I got to spend 2 hours on the tarmac because the engine died on the plane... Forced me to push back 2 meetings, and some time to snap a pic of the Denime's 

Up in the air I got a few snaps of Mount Hood (Sorry for the B&W, plane windows have a way of destorting color)

And a shot over the desert

And lastly a quick shot of the pants.

I'll be back in Vegas next week, but this time I'm gonna stay, so I'll make that update a bit more exciting!

That is what I thought. Thinking the Deinime would be my best option. 

 

Thanks!

Hey all, 

Been wearing the Denime 66xx world tour pants and I'm loving the 60's cut! Been debating between the TCB 60's or Denime 66xx for my next pair, anyone want to push me in the right direction? 

Update from the last 2 days: 

 

Spent Friday night working an event for work. I'm an Operations Manager for a tech company, so sometimes I have to promote our product to the masses. Anyway, here is myself and a few of the people who work for me.

Saturday I spent the day with my wife and our adventure dog (the Boston hates most people and dogs, so he sat this one out) We went for a hike above the city in Forest Park, a HUGE wooded open space pretty much in the heart of the city.

Topped it all off with a Beer in a park by our house, and all and all it was a great day.

The marbling is starting to really show on these things! 

Next week I'm off to Vegas (Boston got canceled) for work and it looks like I'll be there at least 1 day out of the week for the next 3 weeks.... Gonna be really hard to wear these things in the Vegas heat, but I'll endure

Thank's Slab. Sorry to hear about your Boston They are great dogs! 

Spending is not my strong suit, so a clear voice of reason is MUCH appreciated!

 

Anyway, did a mundane little dog walk this morning, and had the wife take some snaps (payback for all the times I took photos of her outfits)

 

fit with a uncooperative dog named Cody: 

Elbows on my TCB are starting to show a bit of color.

The wife having some fun while Charlie trys to find something to bark at
