I will say the photo is probably a bit overexposed, but the vertical nature of the fabric is definitely starting to show!

Been wearing these every day and they seemingly get better and better.

[lsaylor]

I am starting to see the same thing. The vertical threads are a nice cobalt blue. I hope they come out in full force. I am on week 3 with 16 wears. I plan on taking new photos nxt week. 

[aho]

Yup got a ton of photos to dump eventually...Really picking up on some sharp blues here and there

[givemefive]

Did you guys notice how the crotch is sewn? It's kind of uncomfortable..

[aho]

^hmm nothing out of the norm for me; is it the fit that's tight or do you have some sort of excess fabric?

[givemefive]

just seems to be more fabric than normal.  Dunno.. hopefully it will soften up.  The fit is quite loose.

 

 

 

Just seems to really stick out there and feels like I have a 1" wad of fabric between my legs.  Don't usually notice it but was having to squeeze my legs between objects today.

I have not noticed any problem in the crotch area.

[garden gnomes in space]

Lets all take a crotch shot and have oomslokop judge the issue

the behind the scenes isnt as glamorous.  Stiff arming my daughter to stay out of the frame as she seems to think every time I take pics of jeans its a game and an an invitation to lay in the middle of the situation haha.  For every jeans pic I have taken, theres one or two of her laying on top of them

[oomslokop]

the results have come back, your crotch is clear givemefive. next!

[garden gnomes in space]

garbage light iPhone pic but hopefully it shows.  I think we will see some roping starting to appear i the near future...

[aho]

lol i swear I will get pics up this weekend...Anyone else already seeing some whiskers developing, and light fades all over? I can see why Ooe brought up this denim when the contest idea was first established...

[givemefive]

Yes! very light whiskers.  very exciting!!  

[tigerstrom]

Yes, light signs of whiskers on my pair too!

[tigerstrom]

[aho]

The warmer weather is finally starting to arrive in Sweden! Went out for a coffee and some cardamom buns with my sister and girlfriend.

[pudaspriest]

Some nice blue starting to peak through

A fika! 

I'm really digging how versatile the fit is on these jeans, and the interesting fades are just starting to show. Keep it up guys...I'm currently wearing in a pair of our Ooe collab jeans, when we take delivery I'll switch over to the contest jean.

[aho]

Enjoying the posts everyone! If it's Sunday, I'm usually at Maxwell Street Market getting street tacos:

And usually getting some variation of caffeine at Sawada Coffee (of Streamers in JPN if you've been)...This time I went with an Iced Military Latte

Picked up some new friends who are in isolation for a week or so from the others, in case of any bug contamination. Last time I brought a Sempervivum home and it wreaked whitefly havoc :X

Some protestors downtown because this is how we do in Amurica

And finally, yet another fit pic!

 

Honestly this is what I wear every day so it might be boring posting the same fit every time. Jeans, boots, military jacket, border/stripe shirt, and denim jacket to layer lol

whats the striped shirt?  Theres a French brand that Standard and Strange sells that I really like, but I cant recall off the top of my head

[aho]

^Nothing fancy or branded, just bought it from SHIPS in japan back in 2006 just as I was getting into the whole denim game; Turns out it was made well and survived without issue or fault through pretty much daily wear for the last ten years!

You're thinking of Arpenteur, but I've seen similar shirts from all over the place.

Nice Filson Medium duffle aho!  I have the same bag in green.  As much as I like it, it hangs in such a way that it has to be slung over the body (as you have it) rather than only over a shoulder.  So I carry a Fogg bag, which is pricey but fantastic:

i have had a medium duffle for almost 20 years now and that was one of the reasons I ended up getting the standard briefcase.  Never liked how it just hung limply (thats what she said - in before Maynard) from the shoulder.

 

Those Fogg bags are nice.  When I fall down the camera bag rabbit hole every couple years those come up.
