Looks great Mega.

Before my trip to Amerika I decided to wash my jeans (LA, SF, Vegas and NY let me know if anyone is down for a beer ^_^ ) 

New contest submission: This time washing challenge.

 

Before washing I'll turn my jeans inside out

I love how the inside of the frontpockets fade

This weekend I went to visit friends in Norrköping. The city is full of preserved old buildings and have Motala Ström running through its center. I especially like the industrial landscape; Norrköping used to play a central part in the Swedish textile and paper industries. All buildings are still used today, though they now host the university, a science park, two museums, clubs, restaurants and a school of arts.

I was hoping to capture a shot of one of the old trams but only managed to cross paths with new ones.

The workers museum. Still don't know why there's a chimney in the middle of the water.

Is that a giant denim blanket made to look like a pocket?

Just thumbing through some cell phone pics, so I thought I'd add an update.  The first is from April, the second from July, and the third is from Oct.  MBB many soaks but never washed.  I've been wearing them since around April 2013.

ouch on that last picture

yeah, that's f'd up looking. Obviously I can see what happened - I don't get why it happened from just not turning the jeans inside out when being washed. Weird to me.

I had a similar (yet not half as dramatic) accident with my ues. It had been washed a lot before, yet the washing machine caused some vertical fadings. With a new pair the effect might be more intense. Will be interesting to see how these end up - as you fade jeans fast and great, the lines might blend in after many months.

i never turn mine inside out, but i also never let them spin in the washing machine. i always thought that what was caused creasing like that?

i dunno. of course, i really only use my washing machine to agitate. after they've soaked and agitated for a while, i hand rinse and hang dry. never had any problems with vertical creasing.

other than that, the rest look awesome!

Damn I haven't been keeping up with the competition. Singapore was a heatwave. Good news is that it's gotten quite cold this week in Newcastle so I've been wearing my jeans more often. Shall take some pictures if there's a sunny day. 

 

Loving all the updates guy. Sorry about my lack of them haha
