Now that's a great pic! Is that the Sh 71 you're wearing?

almost, it´s the IHSH-70...

HC-SF-59  -  Red Cloud R400

I found some old photos of my contest jeans taken straight after their initial (and only) soak back in mid March. I'm pretty sure that I had only tried them on at this stage  - just to see how the shrinkage went.
 

 

And here are some updates from today. The weather has been pretty average here over the past few weeks, but the sun broke through this afternoon for a couple of hours so I managed snapped off some shots - completely different lighting to the pics above but enough to see the evo. The close up shots are closest to true colour.

Just a quick update for you folks. I did another hot soak since I wasn't quite happy with the fit. True enough, it shrunk some more, now I'm truly ecstatic about the fit. It was a half inch here, quarter inch there difference. But it was enough for the fit to truly ROCK. No pictures yet, I'll try to get some over the next few days if you'd like.

Still trying to find a good idea for the movie-poster… But there´s something coming up, I´m sure! :-)

[ToddjColey]

I want to get some more shrinkage out of my steel feathers and i know there is a little left in them. Should i wait for my fades to develop some more or do it now?

[ThinFinn]

^i´d do it now lad!...

 

here´s an update of the fit after something like 5-6 wears so far!

[el padre]

Challenge time. 

 

 

I'm quite liking the silver heels, it turns out. Although they're hell after half a mile or so.

HC-IH-32 with a brief check-in.

 

Sweated like mad yesterday on an asphalt roof cleaning and moss treating.  The MBBs were good because they gripped the shingles and I didn't slide off to my death, but bad in that on an 80 degree day, on a 90 degree roof, they felt like 110 degrees.  

 

I believe, though, that I can call "Numero Uno" on putting a hole in my MBBs.  Legitimate, didn't mean it, hole.

Mid Valley - Asphalt will do a number on any pair of jeans. 25 yr or 30 yr shingle? Or older?

There used to be a shingle that used a glass type granule. Anything over 7/12 pitch and you better have a harness. Tear the shit out of your hands too. We don't have moss issues here unless there is a drainage problem.

On another note. Will need to take the MBBs in to get a repair. Will post pics tomorrow. My new knife has shredded the stitching along the pocket.

Wishing there, so i can wear my leather jacket with heavy jeans all the time

 

Btw, dope!

[Max Power]

Yes, it was cold yesterday. Midvalleyfarm - any full front and backshots of those jeans? They look more like 2 years than 2 months old.

ThinFinn, decided to go for it and get them tapered at my somewhat local denim shop, Shockoe Denim in RVA.  Will post pics once I get them.

[Max Power]

Still waiting for pics of the actual tapering...the result looks great as it is.

[Noodle36]

MBB's are currently at the seamstress for repairs.  My knife did a number on the pocket seam.

Finally got some pictures on my jeans!

Not much on the combs except this

Full shots later today when they're finished drying.  Lots of bird crap and assorted gunk on them that just had to come off.  We farm folk play hard.  Also, I've got my competition boots rolling in later today, so hopefully they can be seen together for the first time.

More like a 10-15 year asphalt shingle, so lots of abrasive life left in it.  Gloves and sunglasses were the orders of the day.  I don't usually do roof work, but I'm the guy who knows how to rig a safe roping system and can rappel down to the more inaccessible eaves.  Cheaper than renting a boom lift, I suppose.  Moss is an issue on anything but metal here because in the northwest, people love to put their houses under and next to large shedding trees, and visa versa.
