These are final pics, worn 'till the last day. About 20 months total wear daily. About 16 +/- washes. During the last month of wear there wasn't much noticeable change in fading since the previous update 1 month prior, but the crotch really let go a lot. I'll give these a final wash and then archive them in the closet. 

Looking forward to seeing final submissions from all who made it through. Congrats to everyone who made it! 

Huge thanks to @Megatron1505 for organizing the comp!

more evo

 

Aaaaaannnnd... I'm done with these. It's been a crazy, interesting, stressful, emotional 2 years of my life in these jeans. While I may never wear them again, they have a lot of memories attached to them as i wore them through a lot of ups and downs. Movin' on, in life and in jeans.

Here are my TCB 60s. Also got a lot of wear the first year, but weight loss put them on the shelf for a few months. “Luckily” weight gain brought them back out of the closet for the last 2 months of the contest! 

[Spiraltoy]

Ah! You also got ones with the cat ears. Looks like not too many have those...

Hello friends! Two years, wow. Much has happened. So so so much has happened.

Username: hudsonjames
Country: The US of A
Jeans: Sage 5th Chieftains, 18oz, unsanforized, Indonesian made

These pants have been on quite a ride:
- Two professional theatre tours - one national, one across Montana
- The rehearsal process of seven separate shows
- Actually worn on-stage as part of a costume for two shows
- The birth of my best friend's child
- The completion of my college education

All along the way I've been snapping pics, and there are so f*cking many that I love.
BUT, not everybody has time for that (even though it's part of it!), so first, here's just the beginning, and the end:

 

Before the Fades

Pocket Candy & Patch

 

Initial fit (pre-soak, b/c unsanforized)

 

After the Fades:

 

I (foolishly) decided to take on all the repairs myself, here's the crotch after six (!) separate sashiko repairs:

This is the current state of the right knee, with a repaired blow-out (after a bicycle wreck) and a new tear right above it (of course)

 

Now for the juicy detail shots, including coin and back pockets, and Sage's lovely custom hardware:

(See both the hidden and stealth arcuates? One is in dark blue, another is between the pocket denim and the pocket bag, hence that fade)

 

Now, if you know anything about me, it's that I love action shots.

These jeans are no exception. Check my post (below) for all that business.

taking some photos out

[hudsonjames]

Buckle up for a short(-ish) representation of a long journey
How many photos is max per post? We'll find out...

With my Pointer Brand Chore Coat that made the same 2-year journey:

First gettin' dirty in Montana:

Causin' trouble somewhere in Kentucky:

Crackin' into some brews in North Carolina

Levitating somewhere in Alabama

Lookin' pretty in Arkansas

Soarin' in Chattanooga, Tennessee!!

Just a little lost, somewhere in Nashville

Over a creek in Virginia (first time I saw some real evo!)

En route from one place to another ... not sure where

A mermaid I fell in love with in Florida

Kayakin' with alligators and manatees in Blue Springs State Park, Florida

Almost home at a truck stop in Montana

Finally home, among my mountains

Bein' a goof around my hometown

Jeans lookin' JUICY after about a year and some change:

A costume I wore in one of my last shows of college

Start of the next tour! This one all over Montana

Flyin' in Sidney, MT

After exploring Makoshika State Park in eastern MT

Hugging one of the 4,800+ students who I performed for over three months:

 

If you made it this far, thanks for reading!

This has been an incredible, formative, challenging and rewarding two years. I'm so grateful for my jeans, which have saved me from nasty bike wrecks, a piping-hot americano spill, and all kinds of frigid weather up here. Cheers friends

too many photos, taking a few out (again)

I have absolutely no shot of winning. These were pretty much the only blue jeans that I have worn over these past two years, but I wear a lot of trousers, chinos, non-indigo jeans, etc. All the entries I've seen so far deserve the title more than me, but I am still really glad to have participated in this. The jeans need some repairs now, but I will continue wearing them for at least another year or two, maybe more. This is the lightest denim fabric I've worn at 11oz pre-soak and this was great for socal summers. I love these jeans.

Initial shots:

Wearing these jeans for two years straight means that I got to create a lot of memories in them, but the standout was wearing them in Japan. These were the jeans I wore when going back to see Konaka-San from CSF again. Wearing these in the workshop they were made in with the man who made them was pretty special.

Progress Shots:

Yeah I'm also curious as to what the voting system is. This is why I haven't submitted mine yet.

I haven't even tried yet because I am still confused on what the voting system even is.

[propellerbeanie]

I "competed" in this for like a month, but I still wanna vote. Had a flick through old threads but wasn't able to find the voting system either

any info @Megatron1505

[Megatron1505]

Apologies for the delay guys, and apologies for not making the voting clear. I thought I had done it at the beginning of the comp in a pinned post.

- No you can’t vote for yourself.

- Yes you can do a 1st, 2nd, 3rd to avoid ties.

- The email address must be working as I have quite a few votes in already

[email protected]

Last day for voting is December 31st

@Spiraltoy

you’ve probably gotten it straightened out by now, but I had the same issue if I copied and pasted. It went through when I typed the same exact address in directly. Go figure!

[Spiraltoy]

Thanks!

Yeah, figured that was the case and did the same thing. Writing the whole address works.
