BLAST from the past ~ 1985

[axtsang]

So there I was, looking at old photos captured back in the day when my mother and father were going out. Check out the fading on my father's jeans. He claims that he thinks they were LEE's. Not 100% sure. Keep in mind, this was around 1985, 22 years ago! I'm amazed. Check out that whiskering! Great fit too!

Wow! Did you ask if he soaked/starched/wore for months without washing? My guess is not

That's pretty impressive - I guess most people actually just had one pair of jeans and wore them solidly back then, rather than "rotating" 83 different pairs! I seriously doubt I could achieve anything close to that without getting bored and moving on to something newer and shinier...

Although not nearly as good, you reminded me of a photo took a couple of months ago when my fam got together - I'm on the far right in 2 week old LVC's... but check out my dad in his George from ASDA (a supermarket if you don't know) jeans rocking in the middle!

Respect for the dads.

what kind of lvc are you wearing?

[GregNYC]

axtsang and thatkid - Both those dads jeans rock, in the natural way that you get only when you don't think about the effect, you just wear em! Thanks for the photos! I like the LVCs too!

Most likely. I'm certain its in Japan though. Originally from Hong Kong, they went there as a trip I guess.

My Dad, Mum, Sister and Godmother, sometime in the late 70's by the look of it.

those are some of the nicest fades ive ever seen.

[mizanation]

i've said it before and i'll say it again. daddy fades are some of the best fades out there.

[cheapmuthafukr]

are daddy fades wabi-sabi?

[mizanation]

^^^ haha, hell yeah.

[jo3 b]

thats commitment. the indigo stayed near the higes but the rest of the jeans are pretty washed out.

i bet those dads weren't so quick to pick up the latest in skull the flathead etc fashions and just stuck with what fit for as long as possible

[denimdestroyedmylife]

check out the traintracks on deadpan's dad

[mizanation]

i'm waiting for the new free & easy: the dad style book.

[tweeds]

Umm...totally. Before I read your post, I thought "that looks just like Robert Wyatt".

I think I just "outed" my age.

LOL. Cheers guys, I'd never thought to look up what Wyatt looked like even though i've loved his music for ages. 'Pigs? In there?!' Genius. I do, however, think Wyatt was jealous of my Dad's knee fades.

[axtsang]

lol wyatt looks more like a philosopher than a musician
