^you should

Mine haven't gotten daily work wear since it warmed up, but I've still managed to get them ready for another wash. I think I might try washing them without turning them inside out. Washes in the past don't seem to get all the oil and grease out.

They have come a long way since January.

"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to farmer again."

Spectacular. Awesome dedication, and those jeans look great for it.

^^^seconded. the longer you go the better they look. farmer, just a suggestion from a wash-a-holic, but if you wash them right side out that won't(shouldn't) make much of a difference with these. if you soak them in hot soapy water for a while before you wash that will get some of the lingering grime out. or pour a lil bronners directly on the ''stained'' area and let it sit for a while...i had the same problem. the home-made lye soap is good for stain removal too.

^you should

i know but i'm being a lazy fuck ;/ and also i'm contemplating a soak but they aren't very dirty and don't smell at all. so i guess i'll hold out on that for a bit more.

Beautiful Farmer, next up I think you need some 010s so we can see how crazy the purple looks when it's exposed to some hard graft .

Amen. Seriously, what happened to the 010's? I thought some people here bought these back when they came out, surely someone must have some wear by now.

Farmer, how are the 5000bks coming along?

I've been trying to get a hold of some, but it's hard when you live in England. Hopefully kiosk78.co.uk will be getting some in for me within a week or so, I will start wearing them in ASAP .

But you're right, I'm sure there must be someone around here who's worn a pair in?

[redX]

a couple of teasers from my ~2 months old XX-007s i gotta take some better pictures when there is some more light outside

haven't worn them everyday as it sometimes was way too hot

[Solix]

Literally looked through hundreds of pages, but I can't seem to find any worn-in pics of the 005BK's. Can anyone help?

[grouse_allergy]

Here you go, solix. These are around a year of actual wear.

[grouse_allergy]

...and some fit pics. Hope these help.

[A Beard of Stars]

They sort of look blue-black in a couple shots. Is it an indigo-black dye or something?

[rnrswitch]

Over-dye, possibly?

[Solix]

^ Pretty sure it's just the camera and the changes in lighting.

Those are very nice, Allergy. Thanks!

If anyone else has or knows of any other pics, that'd be great.

[Hendodo]

nice dude ^^ how many washes n stuffs?? will rep when i can

[grouse_allergy]

thanks! gone through probably 3 machine washes and a good number of soaks. i wear them in the tub quite often as they get dirty from my being in art school (paint, plaster, glaze, resin, sawdust, charcoal, ink, etc.)

[subwaybusker]

I have a question. I'm thinking of getting PBJ 1069, so does that mean I don't need to soak them? That soaking is to shrink raws only?

[salaami]

i've handled lendo's black pbjs and i can vouch they are just black, no traces of indigo blue. his are from a few years back. denim is great(duh!)

[everyinchofgod]

Just a teaser pic here of my xx-007's. 5-6 months of 4-5 days per week of wear, two soaks, and one wash. Will post more when they are truly worthy. The lighting isn't optimal, they look darker than they actually are. Cross posted from the Evolution thread.

little something after 9 months 11 soaks 3 machine washed 1 ocean soak. fraying and ripping all over the place

you cant really tell in the picture but the color drastically changed after the last wash

Mine are 9 months as well (turned 9 today. <3) But Jesus fuck, mine have no where near the damage yours have. Good job. Those combs are borderline ridiculous.

[soulsoi]

nice. the 3rd of this month was the mark for me.

its weird cause the two big creases about the honeycombs ended up fading like that after the wash but idk how the creases maintained

you should post up your pair. this thread has been awfully dry lately

xx-005bk

[wdpk]

What do you guys think of the fit on these? They're a 32 but I was thinking to go up to a 33 since I'm fairly top heavy. Do you think they'll stretch enough in the leg/thigh? (also, excuse the decor, I was in my sister's room):

[redX]

are you planning on wearing all your shirts tucked?

[wdpk]

Usually I do, yeah

[redX]

well the whole silhouette looks really bad, because you're combining a very slim fitting jean with a rather baggy shirt, so that might be your main problem at the moment.

get a more slim fitting shirt and see how the jeans then work out for you. also the fact that they are low rise doesn't really help your 'tucked in' steez as right now it looks like you have really short legs but a very very long upper body.

but yeah, re-reading your og post you might wanna size up

[wdpk]

I realized I probably should have mentioned that these are the one wash XX-005 so this is all the shrinking they'd do but yeah, I compared them to Uniqlo vintage chinos which fit me a whole lot better and they were about an inch smaller in the thigh, even when I sized up one from 31 to 32, so I'll try a 33 out (even though I'm concerned about the leg opening) and report back. Thanks for the help
