Not much happening since 08/01. Although they are starting to contrast a bit with the wrinkles.They are still like cardboard! - They have shrunk with all the rain as well, as the waistband has a 'wavy' look to it. Leave em for another few weeks I guess.

i almost feel bad for the jeans

the only martyr this forum deserves, i guess...

[Corbin Law]

ive done a stream wash before

dont worry you wont lose your jeans if you take proper precausions

tie them to a tree wtih a rope going from belt loop to branch

put a rock in each back pocket

heavy enough to let it sink but not like bury it

and throw them mid stream

the water is probably pretty cold considering its natural so you wont lose mass amounts of indigo

but the constant abrasion of the water might fade it some

and take that manequin idea into consideration

[sam113]

Corbin's APC's are in the evo thread, they turned out pretty sweet

Interested in seeing how these wilderness jeans progress

Well - after everyone prob. writing this experiment off here are some pics.

They have been :

Soaked in a stream for a couple months

Left out over the winter under a shed

Been hanging up in the same area now for the last 2 months

should have gone with the mannequin.

[TheJonesBoy]

You oughta sling them on a webcam.

PS - is this whole thread insane or am I insane for being compelled by your apparent madness?

[rome1]

^^ I agree...with the mannequin, wierd fade going on there. or is that just the lighting?

[Chicken]

but thanks for trying. i love your experimental spirit.

(kind of feel like the "myth busters.")

[mopar_jj]

They are still out - and no its not the lighting, its the actual fade. Im guessing it is how the light comes down through the trees as I have moved them from the origional open area and moved them into the woods - hoping for some abrasions from the twigs.

Still thinking on how to do the ATV thing. Maybe put sandbags in them or something

Nice try, best to wear them though
