vertical lfading

[Chicken]

really? i grew up thinking tokio was french. maybe it's just an old spelling or something:

tokyo's cool. downtown's where some of the hardcore denim shop are, but there are plenty scattered around uptown, too.

I'll probably check out all the denim stores. I don't know where I'll live yet... hopefully I'll be able to find something!

haha I love the logo. The "K" looks like a mix between the font Peavy use and a flying V. Speaking of japanese pop, nobody noticed my avatar?

Looks great, my Japanese Diors are fading quite a bit vertically too, although in a different manner than yours...the slubs are becoming lighter while some areas around them have still retained a slight sheen on the indigo, looks quite cool up close.

unfortunately i don't have a digital camera that can take such detailed pictures...my dad's phone has a camera but even under the sunlight right now i'm not so sure if it can capture it to fit my description.

i remember posting a pic of me wearing the jeans a few months ago when i was still at school...looks kinda like that still. I'm surprised even after so many washes the jeans have retained more or less the indigo color of its original state, just in a lighter tone with the vertical fading accentuating the rugged worn-in feel. There's virtually no contrast other than a cigarette box scar on the left pocket area and two whiskers on the right thigh/crotch border, so i'm not sure if pics will do any good...but i might try taking a pic of the effect i described earlier.

just so you know, rinse wash tr's have a very nice vertical fade for 20 days of lazy wear....
