Word of Mouth - The Crust & Fades Contest

@deadendpro back from the dead?! Nice to see you! Too bad you didn't come back in time to join the contest. And yes, I think this contest will keep Sufu buys

So I did a load of steps yesterday... which really helped loosen them up.  I ironed my jeans inside out when nearly dry to take out the crinkles... no hairy-ness as yet.  This roping is going to be very tasty!

A few details after a very cold 15min soak. 


Patch and Pizza details

 

Unfinished Fly and the top button stitching 

Yellow and black waistband and belt loop stitching  

 

Off set left side belt loop  

Single needle cinch

Even with a cold soak, the patch got some fades...I wonder why it ain't adhering like I was hoping it would? (more just a troubleshooting question though)

Mine have had a very hot soak, a 20 Degree machine wash and now a cold soak, so it’s doing not too bad. The ink hasn’t lasted too long sadly, as I really like the design.

🤣 yes indeed. I found a phoenix down in my imperial dukes I turned into shorts and found my way home. lol. Looking forward to sticking around and seeing the magick y’all put together here!

 

and I imagine there will be plentiful opportunities in the years to come! We are still young, my friend! Hahaha

That’s an extremely powerful pre-soak fit bartles …. though the post soak is excellent too. Really all of these fits are great, you’re all getting things off to a tough start for the judges…

perhaps the most sensational denim contest ever , even for those who are not in the contest but just spectators 😍

Worked on my car the other day. Changed the heater matrix which was blocked ,causing the reservoir to boil coolant and spray it out via the cap/valve. Also caused the heating to stop working properly. 
Dealerships charges £1000+ for this work and remove the whole dashboard, but the internet was convinced you could just removed the glove box housing and do it yourself. So I did. For about £90. 
Complete fiddle! Really awkward. Got it done eventually and everything works. It was freezing though. Zero Degrees Celsius! And my knees hurt. 

I’m pretty sure I’ve stretched the knees on my WOMJ’s  excessively. 

Test drive in the hills to check for leaks. 

Never again 😄

Also cut up a tree that came down in Storm Éowyn

Went for coffee. Came home with an Airforce Duffle bag  for £35! 
Looks issued but unused. Mint condition. Fairly modern I assume.
Has a very faint Airforce stamp on it. Great red contrast stitching, for no reason is my guess. 
I assume its for flight kit like helmet and overalls?

Went to our local ruin

[julian-wolf]

Off to a real fast start, already seeing electric blues at some high-friction points around the lap / whiskers, and even some white on the hems—starting to worry that by 18 months they’ll be all the way washed out!

^ not as far along as you but definitely feeling like they'll be fast fasters, especially compared to the Ooe's I was just used to! Maybe reaching 18 months in a good state will require some well chosen breaks along the way.

Unexpected third wash due to a little slip and fall into icy mud today...Still drying but will post pictures if there's any notable changes. Was hoping to hold off to set in the whiskering 😅

[beautiful_FrEaK]

The denim is definitely a fast fading one. So it will give us enough options to wear other pairs if you like.

The other jeans were I encountered a similar button rust this quick were TCB
