GBG001 contest - Indigo Veins x Göteborg Manufaktur x Denimbase

[Thanks_M8]

Had a one-week-hiatus with the jeans, as they were in the dirty laundry, and I was busy with work and didn't find the time to wash them.
Wore my SDA mystery jeans for the time being, and threw them in the wash yesterday, finally. Here they are side by side, freshly washed.
The contest jeans are already way softer, but more crinkly than the SDAs. Anyways, quite promising fades on the way, as I think, but not much to see on the pictures.

Can I ask what Autumn cleaning in your neighborhood is all about - I'm sure it is what it sounds like but its not something people do in the UK? @Babaron

[Babaron]

@UkeNo Me and my girlfriend live in a condo. So two times a year, spring and autumn all who have condos in the same neighborhood gather and clean the yard and then eat hot dogs. 
Quite a good way to get to know your neighbors since swedes generally (or at least me) don't really like to talk to people they don't know.

weeks 3 and 4 (to keep track). first jeans for a long time that I wear everyday - comfortable, good fitting, interesting fading potential - what else one would desire?

to live a thread a little up

this weekend caught some good weather and went for a little walk in a suburb park (as much as I don't like the city I live in I can acknowledge that suburbs are really great)

for sure lots of chinese tourists (more than 2 hours wait time to get inside palace)

so better run away from them

some flora is still green

but mostly fall in all its glory

and some wildlife

[Thanks_M8]

Freshly washed in the morning sun. Getting there, they even have slight honeycombs despite the often washing.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

They come along nice!
I should rotate less and wear my contest pair more often...

[Bobbo]

^^ Those are gonna be so good!

[Thanks_M8]

Usual wonky stitchwork by yours truly.

Maybe I'm to rough on them..

[vIGGiou riou]

Don't worry Thanks, also me have to buy needle and cotton thread .... . Especially on coin/watch pocket...

lazy rainy sunday...

Fit update of my pair at roughly 50 wears.

 

[tigerstrom]

Another month, another wash!

 

The fabric on these jeans are crazy and I think it will evolve nice with monthly washes.

[Bobbo]

Yasss, that texture. Can't wait to see how my own pair reacts to the washing.

Not much evo on mine, but took a trip to Washington to pick up a car (that I bought 5 months ago from Japan!). Here's some pics from the journey back to California, sorry for lots of photos haha.

right hand drive in US is going to be funny. what car is it? you must really be crazy about it to order from Japan and use a rhd car in a lhd country.

Yeah it's pretty weird getting used to haha, and definitely get some funny looks. It is a 1983 Nissan Skyline DR30, and yeah I've wanted one for a long time so decided now is the itme haha. 80s and 90s JDM cars are rapidly increasing in price so figured now is the right time.

Showing some beginning evo in a dim livingroom a rainy november evening a couple of days ago.

 

Nice to see everyones pictures! 

[Broark]

Can't let this thread get bumped to the second page!
Gave my pair another wash yesterday, will try to get some full updates soon.
I'll admit I've been cheating on these a bit since the fit is slimmer than I prefer. But the denim is something special.

[Thanks_M8]

Freshöy washed. Didn't get the soot out completely, but better than the way it was before.

[Bobbo]

That roping @Broark 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

My pair is in dire need for a wash. Should be doing it this week and hopefully have some new progress pics next weekend.

[d-rew12]

Was thinking of giving mine a wash this weekend as well to get rid of some indigo. Finally able to wear them more. I have to wear them without a belt, so feels werid but getting used to it.

[srudy]

Due to other distractions, my 32 unsoaked and 33 soaked are going unworn. Would anyone like to buy them from me and get in on this contest?
