Samurai Jeans Geisha Denim Evolution Thread

[Cucoo]

Yeah, that's the plan. But I think 4 weeks should be more than enough with this denim. I started washing my Flatheads pretty early too and they haven't been half as stiff as these are.

Sorry Carl, Max Power gave his pair to me

@Tilmann, congrats! ... So lucky to have a friend w/ benefit ;)

Anyhow, I got a vibe that a pair of W35s will turnup 1 of these days

I work in printing and one of the things we print is large format vinyl and board. To cut these we use a large flat bed cutter. Today i got a bit too close to the blade.

 

 

Sure it won't be so visible as they fade more but still a bit pissed. That being said it could of been a whole lot worse 

[Cucoo]

The potential for OUCH is really big there...

[ShootThePier]

Saved by the Samurai!

[MellowYellow]

I think that’s awesome. Looks like maybe some warp threads got cut, so it might split right there. Patch / repair and you’ve got a great story to go with a different-looking but really genuine fade.

Only adds character.

[Max Power]

Yes, but I fear it may break sooner or later. Maybe have a good tailor save the fabric before it rips.

[spitfiredealer]

Yes that worries me too. Will give it a few weeks see what happens. If it gets worse I will get some kinda repair done.

Phone wear really starting to come through on these after 24 days wear.

The Geisha's taking in a nice view

A couple of pics of mine after a quick hand wash. Been wearing them since the start of Jan, 3/4 times a week.

Pics don't really do em justice, they've come out lovely, very slubby, very blue. Last pics are next to my 19oz (2 years old)

[spitfiredealer]

Looking good mate. 

[spitfiredealer]

 

 

[karanimal]

Those are looking great! 

 

Any washes yet?

 

I find my pair has a pretty interesting mix of steel blues and electric blues coming out. 

[spitfiredealer]

Thanks mate, really pleased with how they are progressing.

No washes yet, going to try and hold out for as long as possible.

[slavo]

Looking good dude.

[spitfiredealer]

Wore these to skate in for the first time today. The stitching on the crotch didn't make it.

Story of my life... haha

[spitfiredealer]

Pretty bummed it went after just one proper session. This is why i switched to Iron Heart a while back, certain IH's wouldn't of gone so quickly

[Niko_Andy]

yeah this denims looks lika a classic case of... hype den1m. meh. all da photoz in here, fading in 1 month? srsly?

[karanimal]

Here's my pair, had them tapered a tad to fit me a bit better. 2 Hot soaks, one wash last weekend. These have been on 2, 12km hikes and other than that they've been worn to the office only. Since i got them after Christmas I've probably put 3 months of wear into them on rotation with my FH3009 DWC pair. 

 

Tried to use lightroom to emulate how these look IRL, my monitor hasn't been calibrated in a while so these may look off on some screens, should be pretty true to colour on MBP and MBP retinas

picked these up for $40 just because why not. the rise is too short to wear. either going to give them to a friend or return them. just figured what the heck. dont see many pairs of worn and faded geisha pairs around and i'm too impatient to break out my denimio pair yet. wish these fit better

 

denim feels a lot heavier than texas cotton even though the weight isnt that much different.

 

GA0510LXX. unknown size but they fit like a  size 3. fit pics to come later.

Bit more evo on mine. Still holding off on the first wash for a little while longer

Man I really want to start on mine but I kind of want to save then for the DWC next year. Currently wearing 710xx and those are my DWC pair (no crazy evo like yours since I can only wear them on the weekend).

[spitfiredealer]

At the moment these are in rotation with another 2 pairs to try and slow down the fading.
