Cool. You better visit sometime Somar! Barbecue and icecold beer at my place. 

I think I've only been to the metropolis Degerfors once, can't remember what it looks like. Hm, I wonder if it was Banana Moon you bought it at. Or Najzprajz.

 

Oh well, always fun to hear stories about people having connections to Örebro like this. Now back to denim business!

[Noodle36]

Winter can Fuck right off!!!!  Took a pic of our thermometer this morning.  -23 degrees celsius  -39 with the Windchill. 

We had a week of positive temps before this bullshit set in last night.  So cold my wifes truck froze up while we were skating.  Spent an hour outside trying to boost it.

That sounds good mate. Next time I'm there, I'll be sure to let you know!

Haven't updated in a while...

And me...(she talked me into this pose)

[el_toro]

el_toro...am i right to say that you're an construction engineer, no?

Sorry for late reply ThinFinn, actually I'm an architect. However for this project I also do as an construction engineer duty as well.

[ThinFinn]

good to know a "mate" of mine is in this...i'm also a construction engineer (no architect though!)

12 months (soon) - No wash

 

Just a few days now until i've worn these 365 days, just took a few pics now before I leave them for repair and as soon as a get them back they'll get their first wash. You can really see the patina on the thighs now.

 

 

 

I love the light fadings that are starting to come on the calfs

 

 

And the places to repair..

 

 

[skurlandski]

Took a couple lap shots in direct sunlight today, just with my iphone. Tough to see, but the thighs are developing an interesting texture.

And the wear spot from the fly denim on the inside (below and to the left of the fly)

And finally the two spots most in danger of ripping through (besides the crotch which is growing thin..)

Chapstick:

And spit tobacco:

 

Probably going to get their first wash in about a month, more to tighten them back up than anything else, as they've grown a bit loose in the waist despite my always wearing a belt.

 

EDIT: Last two shots were taken indoors near a window, hence the different color

It's been snow like crazy here in NYC, so I thought, what better way to disinfect my denim, by burying them under a foot of snow...

Time to do the monthly update! Almost halfway to the finishline now boys.

 

My Steel Feathers are holding up quite well. I've had to do some repairwork but I guess that's expected from 100% cotton threads.

The jawns are a little less blue in reality. I've tried to set it straight with a tad of vibrance adjustment but I didn't wanna go nuts with it.
 

 

The patch has gotten some cracks in it but came back to life after two turns of minkoil treatment.

 

Loving the traintracks on the backpockets more and more.

 

 

Last but not least a shot on the fabric for the pockets and yoke. Can't wait to see the threads true rainbow color showing through.

Gonna be repping perth, WA till the end of the comp. this taken in the morning sun in perth. man the weather is really killing it. such a huge opposite from what you guys in the northern hemisphere is gettting. 38++ over the weekend!!

[zwer]

First crotch blowout on my MBBs. Decided to have them fixed locally instead of proxy to SENY. Pics of the repair on the weekend.

So you are going to make some tailor repair dirty potentially smelly jeans and then you are going to wash them?  Don't like your tailor much do you?

He didn't seem to mind, and  if I wash them before the repairs the holes will just get bigger. And i cant really say that the smell..

Great updates everybody.

A 7 month update after the second wash. Also wearing new shirt (Ace) and vest (Eino) from Nudie.

Hey guys, been a while – I´m knee-deep in my final exams right now, which means a lot of studying… first exam was yesterday, the next is going to be next monday, and then two oral exams in april…

 

Anyway, I took the time to take new pictures, including two of me doing home-improvement. Maybe that counts for the challenge? I´m not really the hard-working-kinda guy…

 

Here goes:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So there you have it. Still no wash, by the way… I´m thinking of keeping it that way until a very special date in june… but I´m not sure about that. Yet.

[Max Power]

I'm busy fixing life problems, but did some skating in my pair and found time for an update.

 

Trying to find a decent alternative for photobucket...hate the blurry quality.

Not sure why you wouldn't use imgur. Easiest, and fastest.

[cander49]

A little past one year of wear now, with 8 washes (need to get another soon). No idea why the color is so different on one vs the other, but the front is a little more accurate. No repairs yet. Crotch is totally fine, back pockets have some holes, but nothing that I've cared enough to deal with, and non-selvedge seam has unraveled a bit at the bottom. At this point, I may never even bother to patch the back pockets. Haha.

I should be doing an update again, everyone's jeans look incredible.  I am leaving for North Carolina this Friday for a rock climbing trip I have been looking forward to.  That alone should really make my one year wash necessary.

[okisan]

quick update. shit photo.

[Chubacca]

I will be taking a family vacation to Morocco at the end of March for little over a week and will get some good quality wears.  I imagine lots of walking, so I'm planning on washing my jeans when I get back.  Looking forward to both the trip and wash

[masamune]

a quick mini update

[zwer]

Since SENY's repairs on my 666-XHS only lasted about a month, when the first hole appeared on my MBBs, I decided to go a little heavier.

25oz off cut reinforced crotch means I shouldn't have any more problems until these are retired.
