 What I wouldn't do to live in Berlin.

would you move there?

[MJF9]

Thanks man! The belt is made in Italy and I bought it in Rome when I was there last spring. It is from a store called Asole&Bottoni. 5mm thick leather, but I honestly don't know of what kind.

That's spot on man.

Excuse the poor quality, just a small update from the Weekend. Spring is here (though Winter was never here in this part of the world). Not much fading going on.

Like I said, yesterday I was a little bit hiking to a near "mountain"

You're welcome man . I think I've seen your pics on that thread ones... but I don't remember your sleeve being that full. Got some new ones lately? 

 

Thank you! You can look it up in the tattoo thread somewhere, if you're interested.

Thank you!

 

Back on track: has anybody had major fadings after the first 6-8 weeks? I feel like they keep bleeding, but show less fades than other pairs I wore.

[ThinFinn]

great updates guys...after one week of skiing vacation i'm now back in my 400T. after the first 5 minutes i already was able to tell that i did miss them a lot!

pics going to follow later on some day!

[Max Power]

2 Months update - not much going on beside some roping on the front (probably leading to ripping hems after some more months, I seem to be the only one with this issue).

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Nice Flo! My Combs look kinda similar but your roping is stronger.

 

Today I helped a work colleague moving, so my UES had a lot work to do and some sweat to soak up. Since I already noticed the first signs of thinning/wear in the crotch I might soak the top-block more often to keep the denim fresh and softer.

[bradl]

What's your secret for getting such intense roping? I have most of my jeans in double cuffs, so not sure if that would affect it or not. Get it pretty good on my work shirts, but none on my pants.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

washing/soaking to get the "roping surface", wearing without cuffs to get the abrasion at the hem

[beautiful_FrEaK]

My pair hanging on the balcony to dry. Just soaked the top block again. Still pretty yellowish rinse water.

 

[volvo240thebest]

the Denim doctor just finished the surgery on my pair! I should receive it next week!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

^fingers crossed for you!

I will post some pics of my jean. I have the first crotch on it maybe a repair will be needed soon. 

I will have many work the next month so i will see how my pair will stand.

UES contest 3rd month update

 

 

 

 

 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

nice to see an update from you James!

[Max Power]

And what a great one! Motivates me to wear my pair, as they seem to get a nice structure with wear after all (I was getting a bit bored as the Fading seemed to cease and the fabric itself is not that "entertaining"). Didn't know that the 400Z had lined pockets.

 

Did you wash them already (looks like it)?

Edited March 26, 2014 by Max Power

[Obbigood]

Thanks guys, I have been wearing this almost everyday but just not posting enough...

 

@Maxpower, yes washed 3rd time. 

[Max Power]

Thanks. So they keep the Indigo quite well...astonishing regarding the amount of bleeding.

[volvo240thebest]

just took delivery of my UES jeans. the denim doctor did a flawless job on them, best money ever spent. God bless him! the inner inseam chainstitch construction it's not anymore there but finally I have a pair that fits me well. there is stil a very slight hint of the infamous "hitler pants syndrome" but I believe it will be gone after some wear! I will try to post a fit later today.

[MORDOR]

Lol. What's the "Hitler pants syndrome"? Never heard of it but it sounds sinister.

[volvo240thebest]

a funny - and yeah, sinister as well - way to describe a fit a little to wide at hips and thighs..

like this
