[ranonranonarat]

very nice tv shooter. whats the history of wash on those? the denim on these actually surprised me. they look like they will fade like the old denime xx fabric.

[-Z-]

nice pairs all around everyone. just (finally) picked mine up from SENY this afternoon, but left them at a friends place so won't get pics up until tomorrow evening. they did a hell of a nice repair job, crotch feels so much more sturdy now.

[Solix]

Bit of a lame update, but I guess it's better than nothing. Lagging behind everyone cuz I haven't had much wear recently though it should pick up soon.

Nice bucket bath TallyHo. Took some pictures today before it starts to rain all the time again. Gave em a soak a few days ago in anticipation to take to SENY for more repairs but I can't stop wearing them. Color is closest to true in the close up of the combs.

Whoa, you were right near my office today. Should have dropped me a line. Will probably be in town Fri and/or Sat. If you are still around, I can get YouRen to come out as well. Could do a Eternal 811 contest meetup.

Don't think I can hold off on the first wash any longer. They've been soaked in (ball) sweat and dirt 101 times and are flat out slimy. Ah long and all my other non-wash brothers, see you on the other side.

[reallypeacedoff]

Start landscaping tomorrow, so mine will now be in rotation. Only wore them the first month so looking forward to wearing a relaxed pair. Woo!

[tvshooter]

HOLY SMOKES Morse!!! can't wait to see the after pic's.

[TallyHo]

morse, how'd your patch get so effed without any washes? you boil soak those?

and am i understanding correctly that you have only worn them 101 days? crazy...

a wash will do them good.

[not too tight]

Looking forward to the post wash pics. I think the patch turned blackish from so much sweat. I've seen some fits in waywt where he was drenched in sweat :eek:

edit: I mean look at the contest patch, must have been some intense labor.

[morse9443]

Shooter! you fix those front pockets? Progress around here is starting to pick up.

I've worn them I guess 100+ times, they're strictly day arborist/tree removal use since December, lots of hauling sawing chipping loading..I guess the patches are so dirty from my grimy belt. If I don't wash soon I'm not allowed to wear them in the house. Gonna check out the hi-tech no spin washers at this new laundromat .

[ranonranonarat]

morse cant wait to see those outta the wash. you will destroy those washers at the new laundromat with the amount of dirt thats gonna come out of these.

[ah_long]

guys, I'm in Shanghai right now.. going back to Toronto in 3 hours

[morse9443]

[reallypeacedoff]

Wow Morse. One word. EPIC!

[morse9443]

Thank you sir..feels amazing to wear em' clean for the first time.

[laxlife1234]

Wow, those look amazing morse! Can't wait to see how they turn out in the next two years (if they even last).

[ah_long]

wow, beautiful

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I also have to say it, great! that's what you get if you wear them hard!

[chambo2008]

i love the hanging method, gotta spread!

[ThinFinn]

Must spread morse but these things locking hella sick!

And seems that they've lost a ton of indigo after that first wash!...

[morse9443]

Thanks finn dogg! I think they lost the indigo before the wash, but that pic is probably a little lighter than what they are. I'll take some shots that show truer color when I get back home...so I can bombard this thread with even more pics harrr.

[griffin]

I have an unworn and unhemmed pair of contest jeans in size 28 in the supermarket. Just added photos. See the thread here:
