[adsurgo]

[flared27]

here you go.

[Dick Danger]

was hoping for a bit more

[flared27]

haha, in terms of the photos or the jeans?

[Tenchi]

Thats a nice fit

Flares/bootcuts ftw

[Dick Danger]

haha, in terms of the photos or the jeans?

the pics man, how bout a nipples down shot

[flared27]

yeah, I'll try again later. I took em real quick and had trouble getting the right framing, kept shooting too low.

[lilbucu]

goes to show that it just takes a lot of time to break jeans in. seems like people are so quick to move on these days, i wanna fast forward my LVC 501 like 3 years.

isn't it wierd for people to think about breaking thier jeans in? like shouldn't it happen just though time and your own lifestyle? though i do find my self a little too excited to carry boxes around, it just tell myself it shouldn't be a concious thing.

[flared27]

i was totally counting down the first 6 months to the 'first wash'. it seemed like they were never going to break in. but, once six months came around I guess I just stopped caring so much. They looked good, they fit well I thought I should leave well enough alone. besides one near breakdown, I never thought about the wear or the wash once.

just wear em and enjoy em

Why aren't these jeans in the evo? Or are they?

[tweeds]

they're in the XXX - not in the evo though.

Those look badass I would love to see them after a thorough wash .

I would seriously do a HOT ass soak with them with lots of detergent and oxi-clean . Just grab a brush and brush the front of your thighs only and them mildly agitate the rest ..

Oxi-clean lifts a lot of grime out ..

Then do a second wash inside out with some proper detergent like woolite black or bronners ..

bronners peppermint would be nice ..

the water and soap hand washing aren't going to kill them , but a washing machine very well might ..

I so wanna see them washed don't you all also ?

[triniboy27]

How'd you get all of the colour loss/contrast without any washing/soaking?

Abrasion from regular use???

[ang_kangkong]

I so wanna see them washed don't you all also ?

I'll second that. But after 4 years, I think it's clear the man knows how to stick to his guns.

flare — did you ever febreze these? And when, in the course of the 4 years did the febreze no longer work?

[drgitlin]

I'm sorry, but I'm firmly in the "that's fucking nasty" camp.

Are you a bogun?

[flared27]

hahaha, nope, not a bogan.

I've never febreezed. If they start getting damp or begin to smell, a day in front of the fan tends to fix it. They really don't smell that bad. the nudie store in sydney had some amazing unwashed vintage 501xx's. they were very similar (though not as worn out). Great waxy feeling and a bit of a smell. When I saw those I knew I would nver wash these. that wax is where the magic is!

[chadler]

yeah, tons o' repair. I've gotten very friendly with my tailor lady. she sees these every few months for preventative patching / re heeling.

and everytime, she must dread seeing you, hahaha.

"oh fuck, here comes that smelly guy again"

*nice jeans though

[poly800rock]

if you wash them they'll look better...

[XX]

sell them to nudie - maybe theyll make a repro and you can convince them to give you some of the profits haha

[m1lk]

dude wash that shit

[Sais]

was hoping for a bit more

funny thing is i saved em to my comp those pictures up there to send to my girl and then i look at the lil thumbnail pic of them in my folder and i see this

i screenshotted it and blew it up in photoshop to make sure my eyes werent playin trix on me well this is it

so now u can see his nipple down shot

[flared27]

AMAZING! that is really weird. not quite nipple down though, you can see what I mean about bad framing. weird that when I cropped it, it saved the original as the thumbnail

[YoungPunch]

Hey, nice jeans!!

But I thought the point was always waiting as long as possible UNTIL washing them. Not, "Never washing them".

Dude, Just give em a quick warm soak, you don't even have to go through an elaborate washing process. Just a little soak in warm water at least, and I bet they will look even better. Really bring out the natural fading. And you and your jeans will probably smell better too

[__3xL]

You few really are gay as all hell ...

[Ahlvahroe]

just wondering did you ever wash these and how did it turn out?

[flared27]

nope, no plan for a wash either. I've started a new project jean and that should take my mind of washing the glenns

[headtowall]

I would love to see what these look like after a wash.

[beatle]

I think u should send a pic to nudiejeans.com... they are absolutely outstanding !!

[blm14]

to the OP - what happened to these ultimately? I'd be curious to see how they turned out with a wash or what you did with them...
