GBG001 contest - Indigo Veins x Göteborg Manufaktur x Denimbase

[d-rew12]

Yeah my backpocket stichting on one of the pockets is going but other than that, they're pretty good. I put them on everyday just so I can say I got dressed haha. But working from home, going on lots of walks around the neighborhood and working on my car. Not much going on for me.

EDIT: Decided to add some photos haha (and not double post). Still need to give them a wash, but you can see some evolution on the top button! Pics aren't in the greatest lighting but oh well.

EDIT 2: Damn, the resize killed the quality on the first two pics haha. Oh well, damn imgur.

Not to make a double post, but anyone else noticing some aging on the hardware? I know bf saw some oxidation on his rivets. Cool to see haha.

[Thanks_M8]

Got a little blue-ing on the rivets, and a few specks of rust on the top button, as you have, but nothing else. 
The rust also get's rubbed off in the wash, and I wash 'em weekly to bi-weekly nowadays, so no time, to rust further.

Didn’t post here quite long. To be honest, in past 2 months I didn’t wear my gbg so often, but sure in summer I will...

and here you go after 165 days...

haha... on knees is written ... "I did that floor"

[MJF9]

@beautiful_FrEaK looking good... how many are you rotating mate? I’m losing count lately

[beautiful_FrEaK]

@MJF9 I don't have a fixed rotation. I try to focus on these contest jeans (which means 2-3 days wear a week) and the other days I just wear what I like. Most of the times Resolute 710, Ooe 02 and now the new Sugar Cane. And on every other odd day whatever I feel like: old Denime, SDA, orSlow...

These GBG have probably the best roping of all my jeans. Kuniyoshi knows what he is doing (or did Shingo-san hem the jeans for us?)

[Bobbo]

Pretty sure it was Kuniyoshi-san that did it! 

[vIGGiou riou]

yes ... even my pair which I wear with little cuff has nice roping ...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Not the same denim though but still nice to see worn against new. And at least they are both from the same maker.

[Maynard Friedman]

Have you got something else new in b_F?

I couldn't pass these Denimbridge 05/DB19. They are also sewn by Kuniyoshi-san from Double Volante but use a lighter denim (12.7oz). The cut is the same as the GBG and that one works really well for me.

[heyson]

was covered in saw dust so I gave them another wash. this time right side out. the outer seams of the back pockets are separating, and the knees appear to be going soon.

[Thanks_M8]

^welcome to the club

[Thanks_M8]

Knees compared.

Left side is patched with lee denim, right side with IH natural indigo 17oz black OD denim.

[Thanks_M8]

Repairs over repairs...

[vIGGiou riou]

they are already almost done mate ... 

[Thanks_M8]

^ They are almost where I want them to be  

[Bobbo]

Denim destroyers! Love the home made repairs. 

[aho]

Lovely evo on these pairs lads!

[heyson]

Lovely @Thanks_M8

[Thanks_M8]

Did a little woodworking lately, so I had to wash them to get the sawdust out. Comparison to relatively plain SdA 102.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Great progress there!

 

Went on a little walk some days ago.
Started in this small, pittoresque village which is also a healt resort.

First views when leaving the village

Over fields

Passing a small church

Perfect place for a small snack, best part of a walk

Passing the backside of the church of our walk back

This house is called the Swiss House

A glimpse of the castle which is in the village

Arrived back at the village directly at the castle. It's still inhabited by the family Fürstenberg
