@Slab

That is some very nice fades going on!

Not much to show on mine, will def get some pics up on the 3rd month mark.

[redragon]

@2 months

(sorry for the weird angle)

The fading at the side of the jeans is caused by shoulder bag I wore quite frequently.

Looking foward to see your "grandpa" fades aho

Back pockets are taking a beating Redragon

i went to see ryo and hiro at two events in tokyo.

1. Inazuma Lightning Festival

i got a sample of the new OA fabric.

according to Ryo, this fabric is between 91 and 92.

2. design festival

the good old worn samples.

and the world tour jeans

ryo and hiro said hello to everybody in the contest.

and they are keeping an on eye on this thread so we all must keep wearing our jeans till this contest ends.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

[Flash]

Great post slugabed , Ryo's 9103's look great

[aho]

[Flash]

Everyone else noticing the leg twist on these ?

I've never had soo much on any other pair , can't wait till the train tracks start to fade through

Just gave mine a soapy soak so ill post some pics when there dry

[redragon]

^

Not much leg twist on mine.

Maybe with next wash/soak it will be more prominent...

[aho]

^ a lottt of twist on mine, but then again, my first soak was me throwing them in a washing machine so im sure i got alot out of it...

[Flash]

Yea I think it was the machine wash I gave mine , looking foward to seeing yours "grandpa"

[redragon]

^

That make sense

I only did the standard hot soak on mine.

[--simon--]

^ Great Post Slugabed thanks, also good to know R&H keep an eye on this.

[slugabed]

I of course showed my pair to ooe, and ryo was surprised with my leather patch.

Please take a look at the evo aging of the patch with two and a half months of wearing.

i have rubbed it with horse oil several times.

FYI, the leather patch after the first wash

and the pic before any wash

so excited how this patch will age as time goes on...

[Ignaurus]

So a couple of weeks ago my jeans were at 2 machine washes and one soak... and then a week later a certain pet of mine couldn't control themselves while no one was home so that led to a hand wash with some detergent in the uh, affected, area.

I was happy after the second machine wash, no so much after the necessary hand wash that followed. Kind of took some life out of the pair, just gotta keep wearing them though. And I'll never leave them on the floor again.

[aho]

took the life out of them as in indigo dye?

[Flash]

Got any pics ignaurus ?

Havent had a chance to take pics of mine after the wash ( looks pretty much the same ) , its been raining non stop here

[Ignaurus]

Not the indigo necessarily, the color stayed consistent I suppose but the jeans looked pretty lifeless and flat, more so than after the machine wash a week before. Still good evo going and stuff like the creases in the lap are coming back strong now. I'm fortunate that I can wear them to work every day (albeit just to sit in a chair) and I likely won't abandon the frequent washes but a machine wash and soak/hand wash within a week was certainly too much. Think bad grandpa fades, not good grandpa fades.

Sorry about the lack of pictures, I'll get some up here by week's end. Slugabed, that last post was great.

^i can see how that'd happen...the denim is very soft/pliable (not sure how to describe it), but i wouldn't mind the gpa fades, keep rockin!

[mapz]

such a beautiful day over here. a lot of sunshine so i decided to take a few snaps on the way out to breakfast.

i've already washed these guys once. it really is surprising how soft & pliable the denim is - tough-wearing yet super comfortable once they begin to break in. i bike about 8-10 miles a day throughout the week, so my pair really loosens up. probably going to keep on a bi-monthly wash cycle.

[Flash]

Very nice mapz , i love how tjere is soo much roping with this denim in all the seams

Took a quick pic of mine ( nothing much to show )

[redragon]

@mapz

Really nice fit on you.

Beautiful fades going on already....

My jeans is on the same boat as Flash, still looking pristine.

[aho]

join me on a trip through chicago (from about a month ago, on a rainy chicago day...courtesy of http://www.openhousechicago.org/)

[aho]

sorry for the mix up, takes long to put them in order lol...as you can tell it was a rainy crappy day, even the birds wanted some help from our friend picasso...

[aho]

[aho]
