The Seven Samurai + a Bandit

[beautiful_FrEaK]

My 66-2 is back in rotation and is my main pair again.

Because I'm working at the carpentry again

[beautiful_FrEaK]

My 66-2 after the 4th or 5th wash. 6 1/2 months of real wear

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Had a little unwanted encounter with a jigsaw yesterday.

Flew out of my hand and landed on my right thigh.

Fortunately the 66-2 protected me, only bruises, no blood.

BUT

I payed for a it with a little hole:

[ThinFinn]

^nice little update there b_F !

too bad that we don't see/hear things from the other guys

[beautiful_FrEaK]

mhh..yeah...but i'm sure -five- won't disappoint us. To bad riff is busy with the ROYs. (thx for the PM!)

now I'm thinking if I should repair it and how. I'm bad at mending

[ThinFinn]

might would help to post a bigger pic, so we can see where the hole actually sits and things!...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

right on my thigh...it isn't that big but I don't like the look of it

well, I'll wear the 66-2 one more weak to work, then wash and after that I'll look into a repair.

[ThinFinn]

if it don't disturb the peace then it's all good i'd say...

thinking of washing my s0500's for the 2nd time...hmmmmmmm!

[ThinFinn]

so finally they went for their 2nd wash today...

s0500, 4months in!

ttc in pic 3 and 4...

[ThinFinn]

postwash pics will follow when i have the time too!

stretched them out while still damp and as i already had them off my legs again, i thought another stretch shouldn't be a problem and went for it (i thought the denim was fully unbuttoned!)

first button snapped...fuck!

any help/info on how to fix such a mess would be nice ...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

you monster!!! what did you do? no more steaks for you from now on!

[ThinFinn]

^it was all good until i've decided to go for one more stretch (jeans was hanging under my ass already!)...only thing i forgot about was that the first button wasn't undone so yeah, it snapped and there you go...

just stupid me!...

so any thoughts on how to fix this again?...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Took some pics in direct sunlight.

and a comparison with the new S0500

[ThinFinn]

^this will turnout to be a great vintage faded pair of denim...

here's a little teaser of my s0500xx...something's missing

[ThinFinn]

here are the post wash pics...colors are true on the closer pics and on the last one!

samurai s0500xx 4months, 2nd wash:

[beautiful_FrEaK]

My Samurai S0510XX66-II nearing the 7 months mark. Several washes (around 5)

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Some close-ups after the 6th wash (I guess)

[beautiful_FrEaK]

S0510XX66-II around 7 months of wear compared to its brother S0510XX66-RR. The 66-II has been washed multiple times and the 66-RR was soaked twice so you see how much shrinkage is still left in unsanforized denim.

Little BBQ

For me

And her

And two more pics

[ThinFinn]

Must spread mate...Just had a BBQ as well,a few hours ago

So who is "she"?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

[mikecch]

^ I think TF is asking for a close-up

[beautiful_FrEaK]

[ThinFinn]

I thought you would be able to figure that out yourself
