Okay, I will create a pre contest thread where we can gather possible contestants and possible ideas and see where this will take us.

So I’m following this guy on instagram because he wears ironheart, SDA, etc… but am curious how he is getting such high contrast fades on his jeans. No way this is done by natural wear especially the honeycomb fades. Anyone have an idea as to what is he doing to his denim? Is he sanding the creases? Is he wearing them wet? Wondering what type of extreme lengths people use to get SicK FaDEz!?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Yeah i think it is wearing them wet and rubbing the wet denim. I think he posted this at one point.

Kind of crazy that that post is a paid partnership with IH.

Fuck that’s ugly

Smoking while doing that is also part of it

Smoking in a denim tux in a tiny bath… what a hobby! 😂

[ATWM]

Wow! This is simultaneously one of the most amusing and most miserable things I’ve ever seen. 

[Mtvare]

Well put indeed!

Didn't some of some of the Japanese brands used to sell jeans pre faded like that?

Supposedly they were replicas of vintage examples worn by cow ropers who I guess spent a lot of time in a deep squat stance, bracing against the cow they had lassoed, hence the heavy creasing & fading on the backs of the knees.

From "rough day on the range" to "rough day in the tub".

[Cold Summer]

In a way I'm thankful for this Niko fellow, because whatever relative weirdness I do in regards to my denim hobby seems totally benign in comparison to his antics. 

[FurnitureMaker]

More power to the weirdos doing their thing. I prefer all this nerd stuff to possessing an indifference to fashion. 
So many times in my life I’ve ridiculed others for acting in ways I don’t understand that I’m finally losing patience with myself. 

[willi]

agree. getting freaky in the tub with your jeans is cool. i like his huge cat. everyone do your own thing.

[ATWM]

That’s great and all but I mean that it looks like actually physically miserable. The struggle of the cigarette and the too small tub and all of it like it’s a real strain this dude is going through. It’s not a judgment on his character.

This is the best thing I've seen on the internet for ages.

Its how you get sick fadez!

I should probably know about these, but does anyone own any Silverstone Ground Alls? The brand was apparently resurrected around 2022 (https://www.instagram.com/ground_alls/ & https://www.ground-alls.com/shopdetail/000000000015/ct6/page1/order/), but it'd be fun to get a pair from the 90's as in this video:

A lot of fun early LVC history mentioned as well for the Japanese speakers*

@ahoI bought some Silverstones fom double0soul some years back. Some great details, including offset beltloop, Scoville marked rivets and a mix of orange and yellow cotton thread. They were cut off to make shorts - l use them in the garden now.

[julian-wolf]

That’s one of the brands that always seems to be priced very aggressively when old dead stock pairs show up for auction. Would love to find a pair one day for a reasonable price…

[Dr_Heech]

Silverstones.

These were a wide cut when they were originally jeans but they draped weird without any cuff length so l chopped them. Not sure if the thread is cotton,  poly or a mix of(?) but it looks cool faded. My phone won't do the denim any justice but the detail pics show the true colour more. The red tab just has a woven S on it inside a circle in white, reminiscent of the R only tab that was introduced in the mid 50's. Obviously l've customised the original back pocket design to fit in with my more favoured aesthetic 😉

Just liked the contrast… mister freedom and samurai

I just bought the TCB Storm Cat Driver from Spiral, and it was very efficient and fast. Recommended.

The only pic of me wearing said silverstone jorts. Paired with lvc duck vest (nice big pockets for screws etc) whilst building my shed in 2018.
