@shredwin_206 your next double face work pants?

You could unbutton the dirty bits and wear them when you get home mate!

[shredwin_206]

@Geeman hell no. Too much work to undo all those buttons I’d just leave em dirty. God those are awful

"bootcut" jeans are back these days:

It seems the idea was in the air

That’s getting close to what my boy wears

Fade pattern looks like you wet yourself but in a creative way

The ol lady started making me leave these at the door

every morning getting dressed on the porch feels like a cold plunge (epic dopaminergic boost though)

Worth it for the epic fades

[Double 0 Soul]

Ha! .. thigh to hem combs, front and rear.. nvr seen anything like it

That's liteally every Indonesian denimhead in the Indigo Invitational right there.

Conversely, there was a rancher in Idaho that was getting fades like that, I guess he was pulling his jean legs up to his knees and tucking the jeans in his boots.

This is a great example of why I don't care for things like Indigo Invitational/the typical modern denim contest, because it incentivizes people to do outrageous and unnatural stuff to their jeans in the interest of creating attention-grabbing fades. I like more contrasty fades than most on here these days, but if it's not coming from wearing your jeans like a pair of pants, it strikes me as just as unearned and inauthentic as wearing a pair of fake distressed mall jeans.

I can't shake the idea that if I was going in one of these contests, I too would (in a probably more subtle way) do exaggerated things to "boost" my fades and I would wear my jeans differently than I would otherwise. That makes me just not want to participate. Also, I don't have much of a problem committing to wearing one pair of jeans until it's faded really well so I don't need extra incentive, and having three small children is really all the environmental circumstances I need to get great fades on my jeans as a matter of course, anyway.

I just can’t imagine any self respecting partner tolerating it, not even changing outside the front door! It’s not the overall wear, it’s the sheen from lack of wash and resulting extra crispness.

Nothing says you’re going solo more than fades like this.

And if that’s where your priorities lie more power to you, this is one way to tell the world. 

[Cold Summer]

To the credit of wacky pants guy, at least the jeans in those pictures look like they'd been freshly washed. I've seen a lot of ones like this which are actually covered in filth all that time like that chanaphatb guy on Instagram, whose jeans and jackets are probably the grossest looking examples of denim garments I've ever seen in 15+ years in the scene.

Who remembers the guy who used binder clips to set his stacks?

No need to tend to land when you can clip up and rub your calves together

@mlwdp Idk if you guys saw the movie Backrooms but it's like the backrooms tried to replicate a pair of jeans
