Time to mend the first holes. Experience tells me that it’s better to get to stuff like this sooner rather than later. Just wish that our usual brands would make sturdier pockets.

 

Photos of the process in the appropriate thread.

Posted this in the LVC thread, but thought I'd post this here as well. I'm no longer wearing these daily, but rather 3-4 times a week. Probably means I won't need to wash them too frequently! The seam puckering and roping are surprisingly nice.

Have these been one washed? You’ve got some nice whiskers going there!

[Smallrod]

Still damp from a soak earlier today.

Thanks so much!

Oni’s were bought raw and have not been washed or soaked.

Not that much happening here. Fade, fade, fade. Snow, snow, snow.

Little further down...can wait to see how they evolve after 2 years!

Been wearing these almost daily on my national tour, getting some serious wear into them. (Sage Chieftains)

Winter sun to show a little progress on the Black Oni’s.

so this is post wash. the fabric has really soften up after the wash. it feels really soft and smooth right now. something i'm not really used to coming from 20oz and over for the past 5-6 years. something good for a change, i'll see how this develops

 

 

 

[Spiraltoy]

Oh shit, the amount of fading you’ve achieved since Nov is bonkers. 

[spitfiredealer]

Due to the shitty weather we are having in the UK at the moment work has been slow and frustrating so these are only getting worn about 3 days a week. 
Still some progress I feel

I’m no where near the above 2 but this is where my jeans are at as of today. 4 washes, 1 soak and I trip through the dryer.

Triple-deniming it in the Grand Canyon. Rising Sun, MFSC shirt, Roy pants.

i've got quite some free time for a couple of weeks now that i'm not working. found some time the other day to work on the car and tweak it's suspension settings..

 

the leg twist on this pair is crazy!!

It’s terribly quiet on this front isn’t it?! Compared to the TCB20’s comp we’re lousy at updates. Anyways, I’m at 5 washes now. Love the colour, should have sized down 1.

Just a heads up that I am not out of the contest but I have been extremely busy due to some unexpected family problems since basically the start of this contest. This is my second update since starting the contest and this picture of the jeans were taking at the end of March. My friends and I camped and hiked the San Jacinto trail and I decided to do it in my jeans which wasn't as bad as anyone would think. These are the 3sixteen+ 40bsp in size 30 with 2-3 soaks and no washes at almost 7 months (started at the beginning of october). I just wanted to let everyone know that I am still in the contest but will be posting less frequently

[Iron Horse]

I had to replace my pair as it was too small, so I've started from square one. And now it's too hot to even think of wearing jeans here too. 

[JDelage]

Roy updates - not much evo, not sure what I’m doing wrong. Super comfy all the same.

typical cone behaviour. suddenly one day (likely after more than a year): ah, these fadez aren't half bad(ass)

[bartlebyyphonics]

exactly: also, your not wearing ball crushingly tight is my presumption from pix... therefore less friction than some...

nice pair

[JDelage]

I've been wearing them every other day. I'll just keep at it. Yes, it's a relaxed fit. I have noticed with Iron Heart that my 634 were fading much faster than my 1955S.

supima cotton is smoother and less coarse in texture so it has more give and resistance towards abrasion, less abrasion means less indigo loss...if im not mistaken as well it also absorbs indigo better hence contributing to their slower fading properties.
