[azn8oi]

first words out of my mouth today were "shut the fuck up. WOW"

freaking NICE emaze. youre definitely my favorite now.

[emaze]

thanxs.... just trying to keep this denim contest interesting...

[lilldavid]

as lil' jon would say: YEEAAHH!

[beatle]

Nice , emaze....I am really impressed with the overall fading results...

Most of those should be shown in an exibition...still 5 months - and they look already like hell...

[emaze]

I know Beatle.... I keep on thinking I should give them a rest before they disintegrate into nothing. But then I miss wearing them. I think my crotch area has less then a month before they rip. Has anyone else had their crotch rip on them? Any repair pics???

[cheep]

emaze... looking good. makes me realize that i need a better camera... and one with macro.

[emaze]

Thanks cheep, my camera is pretty good, but like we said before it's all about damn LIGHTING!!! They're so many times I'll be rocking my sammies outside somewhere and the sun hits them just right and I'm like damn I wish I had my camera. & when I try to take some good pics of them it never seems to work out well. One min. they look fresh, then I look at my camera and it looks completely different from what I just shot. It's very frustrating trying to capture the true beauty of these babies...

& I haven't tried using my macro mode yet... but will in the future.

[cheep]

yeah... i know... mine are much darker than the pics above show... but they always look washed out in pictures.

[beatle]

Don't worry , Cheep ..Sam's looking good...

I kow though what you mean about the light..

I'm planning on taking mine to a photo studio - we have one in our building - in October...

[cheep]

hmm... im thinking of getting sidney to take the final photos of mine... i should ask him abou tthat

[emaze]

yeah I agree Cheep & Beatle... I have some photo friends who I will be asking for favors to snap some shots of the sammies in Oct.

Yeah mine ripped a couple times, I've fixed them once but there hanging in the closet till I can get home and do the repairs on the new hole. Makes me sad that I can't wear them. I'm gonna lose another month to the flathead tour as well. I'm gonna have like 9 months worth of wear after a year.

Emaze, very nice. Very subtle and "smooth".

[salaami]

e-maze is the new dark-horse...

[Cameland]

Yeah I'd either put emaze or beatle up for first, cheeps sams seems to have lost too much indigo but it might just be the lighting of his pictures.

[cheep]

its jsut the lighting... mine are as dark as beatles

[watchman]

emaze those are looking great, keep up the good work. Now all we need is another update from i miss lily to decide who is the most promising dark horse haha.

[emaze]

more patch shots...

[beatle]

What ?? Ur little samurai guys are gone ?? That sucks, they are sooo cute..

Anyway 0 how did you do that - mine are washed like 7 times - and still pretty clear...

[M.O.A]

yeah my patches are all so hit or miss.....either they come out nice...or they dont age at all.....

[Darkadious]

they aren't gone, you could still see them.

[M.O.A]

nope they're gone

[indigo_junkie]

A good dose of Obenauf's leather oil tends to darken the leather and make the samurais disappear. Same with my Sugarcane 55s. The oil made the red train disappear and brought the "made in USA" stamp come out. I usually oil my leather patches so they don't shrivel up too much after washing. One adverse effect is that it makes printed pictures on the patch disappear.

X post....

rainy day...

Middle of month # 7
