headtowall APC New Standard

APC New Standards, closing in on 7 months old. This pair was starched heavily early on. Washed once at 6 months in really hot water with Dr. Bronners. I'm pretty happy with the progress thus far.

update:

not quite a month ago

In another thread I said I was almost done with these. It's not because I'm so happy with how they look, they're too big now. I plan on wearing these for the rest of the month and then give them up for the contest jeans.

Click here if you want to see the entire journey, unfortunately it will come to a premature end.

My trusty nudie RRDS after about 1 year of regular wear. The photo is a little over exposed, so they're not quite as white in real life. Don't have any "before" photos, but you all know what they look like. Enjoy!

jubei Edwin 505SXR/ED-47

Update of my new project, Edwin 505SXR. 3 months, 2 washes later:

They say that they're unsanforized, but I see a big twist in the left leg, which I really like. The baggy vintage fit took a little getting used to, but I couldn't resist the fabric. It's so thick and the color is super deep. I can't wait for coldrice to get back so I can order some SC47s!

Some other pics of my old project, ED 47, 6 months and 4or 5 washes later:

What I discovered: greycast jeans break in real nice after like 2 months. I'm thinking that they won't look as nice in the long run, though... I'll bet that premium denim companies that want their raw denim to look nice in a short period of time will only dip them the same amount of times as a greycast jean.

gunpwdr Studio D'Artisan SD-003

SD-003 @ 4.5 months, washed every 2 months, so 2 washes so far. Next wash due mid-September.

Ryu mentioned LHT having a "vertical falling" fading effect... which, if I understand him correctly, is pretty evident when looking closely at these SD-003's (see: seat pic).

They are about 6 months old, and i washed them about a week ago, though i probably shouldnt have.

Worn an average of about 35 hours a week total.

im gonna go try to take some better pics...

for some reason its damn hard to get good pics of these jeans, either my camera sucks or the lighting isnt ever right or something...

derdankhund Sugar Cane Okinawa SC40301

okinawas after five months and one wash

they're coming along decently but given that its been a lot of hot months, I haven't been as active in them as I would like to be. The crotch/inner thigh stripes have really come out pronounced, I think due to the fact that I do a lot of studying with heavy books on my thighs in the following position:

The wildswans coin purse fade on the rear left pocket is finally starting to be visble. I'm contemplating sanding for a little more definition. What do you guys think?

crisis Sugar Cane SC41947

Ah this thread has gotten huge, everyone's jeans look great. Here are my cane's, wore them for about five months everyday then washed on and off for about two months after, washing when they feel dirty (probably going to wash every month and a half or so). I usually wear them now when i'm doing house or yardwork nowadays. I've found the indigo loss after washing has been minimal, they're looking better but it'll take quite a few more washes until i get the look i want (Ryu's haha).

diewhitegirls Nudie RRDS

I just noticed that I've got some crazy blow out in these pictures, but they serve the purpose nonetheless.

Been wearing my RRDS for 8+ months now basically everyday and had them dry cleaned once due to going commando for the first 2 months. Gross. Anyway, here they be:
