mpukas, USA, Iron Heart IH-888-NT, size 34 

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!

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.

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:

fd_cross-legged.thumb.jpg.342bb0258e5cab7832c4c84d82585e7c.jpg

 

fd_back.thumb.jpg.c178b6b0da4dfdd5b952a9072e79e039.jpg

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

fd_crotch.thumb.jpg.f166b520b62feed7300b2409049796fd.jpg

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)

fd_knee-repair.thumb.jpg.290376832e8ac22d13cd3efa8ed426c7.jpg

 

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)

fd_right-back.thumb.jpg.20a7201d7c5106475409b3c3b5bd7b83.jpgfd_left-back.thumb.jpg.3a932719792aa7abf7a560887d65e3ff.jpgfd_fly-detail.thumb.jpg.8bf2a372bb963e6fdc5e55e579029e18.jpgfd_coin-pocket.thumb.jpg.229261d78a85d61d262af1d5ffcb2919.jpg

 

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.

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 :)

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.

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.

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

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
