GBG001 contest - Indigo Veins x Göteborg Manufaktur x Denimbase

Looks like a decent walk b_F!

Back on after a two month long break. Had to do some minor repairs, crotch and some seams.

Now I feel like these won't be rotated much in the nearest future.

Looking good @heyson!

[Thanks_M8]

Think it's a clean job @heyson

Did something aswell today. Will send them off to goteborg manufaktur after the next week to repair the, crotch and so on.

[maharu]

Wow, what did you do?? @Thanks_M8

[Thanks_M8]

^Cycling quite much and keeping my phone in that pocket. It's quite big (honor 6c or something like that) and rubs on the denim. Gets even worse since I got a racing bike frame.
Also a small fit issue, they are quite slim on my thighs, but I need at least 30cm thighs on everything, basically  
The repair method I used also kind off cuts away weak fabric, folds under the strong fabric and sews it down on a patch, so the hole first off all gets bigger, but looks a little cleaner, since u usually don't have lose threads of warp and weft hanging around in front of the patch, I just always sew a blanket stitch around the fold to press it down a little.

I've stopped putting my phone in the front pockets for this reason  But the repair looks really nice! 

[Thanks_M8]

Alright lads, final update before sending them off for repairs.

Finally got around to washing these. I never wait this long but just never got around to it... Been wearing since September but probably around 6-8ish months of wear. Camera died on the after pics and backdrop sucks but works well enough.

Yeah they're starteing to look great! Love the way they are fading, like they are marbling haha 

[Bobbo]

Aye, that marbling is exactly what we were looking for. Very happy with how it is turning out now that there're more properly faded pairs.

I'm gonna give my pair another wash soon. It feels like the marble more and more for every wash!

Need to wear my pair a lot more...

 

And I love the pocket bags

[Broark]

I need to wear my pair a bit more too, I've got them on today actually. I've just gotten used to wearing jeans that are about an inch wider at the hem lately.
Maybe the best roping on any pair of jeans I've handled. I'll wear them this week and take some photos soon.
