samurai denim contest [pics]

[beatle]

Hey 386..nice post on the website...really great...

[justinbaily21]

What's up with the Dior line on the right, back pocket?

[jubei]

probably the cardholder part of his bifold wallet. Same thing happens to all my jeans

[emaze]

386 ur patch came out great! -really dark....

[beatle]

The vertical fading is really crazy...

i would love to join the next contest, but from experience, i cant accept any denim that is less than 17oz. the lighter stuff, no matter how "heavy-weight" it is, just seems like bantamweight now. too flimsy. ive been wearing my 19oz. for a few months in VA, and although it was a little warm on a hot(83degrees or better)day, it was definately bearable. but of course, i used to live in Morrocco.

386- I like the dark patch and would like to acheive a similar look on my Canes. Did you you Obenauf's LP or just their regular leather oil?

[386]

Nice one 386. Is that color from the belt in your samurais?

Yeah, I oiled up this old nasty leather belt and it is bleeding as much as the indigo did the first couple of months.

It's part of my wallet. It has a part that sticks out.

The boot oil. I've used LP on it as well, but the oil is what made it dark.

I've been puting off an update for way to long. I have a bunch of pictures saved up in different places I just havent had a chance to get them all uploaded. Took some quick pictures a couple minutes ago.

very fucking nice. i knew this contest would bring out some noobs. your wear looks awesome so far! i need to take pics too.

btw. it's a sugarcane belt, says so on the front.

[Tommyhibbs]

I like to consider myself more of a lurker rather than a noob. One of these days ill get around to posting up pictures of the rest of my projects that I have been working on in the past. The belt is the sugarcane belt I picked up in Japan.

[HEWSINATOR]

Tommy, please do post others, looking forward to it.

[beatle]

[Moz]

Looking good beatle, and everybody else too!

Wear day 142 for me.

[BrokenGlass]

tommy, beatles, moz.... looking good. I'll post an update when I get some actual wear. starting today I'm starting to wear the fuck out of these things

[beatle]

. starting today I'm starting to wear the fuck out of these things

ur starting today ?? Or as in I start really....

[Darkadious]

he means he's going to start wearing them harder, i believe.

[poly800rock]

since everyone else was adding pics, figured i'd add my 2 cents. It hasn't been sunny in philly in a while, so these pics aren't exactly how the color is. But it's a decent representation of the front fading. also posted pics of my blacks in the other samurai thread. I'm more excited about that fade...you can also see the tanner belt getting darker.

[azn8oi]

Not inverses...

I hate u for those honeycombs... they are soo beautiful...

[Thorns]

I'm very jealous of the crazy honeycombs you guys are getting. For some reason despite the crazy fading on the front, my combs are mad subtle.

[cheep]

washed saturday, for the 6th time??? i forget... im not realy keeping track... ill try to get some pics up tomorrow.

they got darker... seems they were pretty damn dirty.

[beatle]

Good...can't wait to see ur update..

As for today ...almost 6 months, 5 washes...

The wallet started to wear a hole in the back pocket - and the selvage seams to fade nicely inside...

Sayonara...

[emaze]

Nice pics beatle..... I want to post pics but lost my memory card for my camera. I need to pic up one this week hopefully. Flying out to San Diego at the end of the week then to Palm Springs for Coachella, then Las Vegas.... Sammy jeans in the dessert sun!
