Leather patches on jeans

haha yeah.. i thought the threads about that too... anyways, have been contemplating about ripping the leather tag from my nudie away but cant really be bothered since my shirts always covering it.

I was just looking at my pair of SJDBCs and was thinking the same thing. The (p)leather patch nudie uses is repulsive. Its almost as thin as the denim they use. . .

if you want to see leather-patched jeans, google mikiharu tsujita( full-count founder) he has a pair of 5-year FCs he patched with scraps of leather. if you look, you'll find a article someone wrote with an interview and pics....

do you guys put Obenaufs on the patch before or after a hot soak? also Obenaufs looks like this correct :

i guess i might as well post these here too, since i have it:

you can see what hot water and 1 year did to the patch by comparing it to a brand new one on the left.

Fullcount WWII jeans

Thought I'd show some of the insane grain popping out from the fullcount patch. I've worn these jeans for 4 months, about 4 days a week, washed every month. I gave the patch one rub down of Obenauf's LP before soak and that's it. 5 washes later, it's looking awesome. No pics of the jeans, because there isn't any wear (not significant wear, NO wear). Of course, working at a call centre and riding the motorcycle on weekends isn't exactly skating in the park, but I'd have thought they'd start to wear by now, but nothing. It's kind of embarrassing. The indigo on these jeans are bulletproof.

Anyway, on with the pics.

New patch.

Patch now.

Close up

And here's some wear on the black coated buttons. You can see the copper underneath.

My girlfriend's SExIH01s. Patch was never treated or deliberately sunned with the exception of a super light application of pecards a few days before this picture...it didn't darken the leather at all but it did make it more supple and less like a brittle leather dagger.

we've seen this patch a lot, but anyway

click for bigger!

FC patch, treated with raw shea butter. the patch has been through 5 or so hot machine dries out of 31 hand washes. still soft and supple. plenty of life left...

^So that's what a nudie patch looks like. Thanks bruh. I'd forgotten since I last saw one on a billboard a half-hour ago.

^^And nudie patches aren't even real leather...
