Result of 7 years of heavy washing

[mizanation]

i'm sure many of you guys have seen this, but this is a picture of a pair of 45 rpm sorahiko's that have been worn for 7 years. the owner washes his jeans after every wear! it's a little bit too washed out for my taste, but here's what it looks like. also, the link to his story is here:

i think it looks good. alot of character in the denim, even tho not alot oh high contrast. just as beautiful as most of the jeans ive seen on here

the patches are ugly. i saw some people getting their 45rpm's repaired- they were doing some cool circle stitching on them for the girl. very KAWAIIIIII

the patches look horrible. he did them himself. i'm sure after 7 years, you develop a lot of sentimental attachment to a pair of jeans, so you kind of overlook the unattractive parts...

i think if it's good to have a pair or two of washed out jeans. nice to have a little variety in the wardrobe.

they look pretty sick, not my style though.

I think those look completely awesome. I prefer the fresh washed feeling of jeans myself. They just fit better too. I won't wash jeans I am trying to break in properly but once they have acheived the desired look I hand wash them gently and air dry them after each wear.

i want to see how those 21 ounce iron hearts will look like in 7 years.

You don't wear Iron Hearts.... they wear you.

Thinking of doing that to one of my raw pairs just to have variety. Having too much, raw and one wash jeans will take me a lifetime to develop the fading. I just ordered a pair of Samurai S5000BK (the black jeans) and am thinking of washing them frequently. Comments, suggestions, questions and clarifications? Any violent reactions?

i wouldnt do it with black. if you want to see what washed out black looks like, go to a thrift store and look at the black jeans. they turn a really bad color. go with some nice indigo jeans.
