does anyone know where these went?

 

They turned up at SESF a while ago with a note to fix them, we fixed em and i have them now.  

They're so valuable now that i feel like they should be put on permanent display with the notebook that traveled with them at SESF.

If enough people disagree i'd be more than happy to ship em back to out to whoever is next in line.

Can we get pictures of their current state ?

[setterman]

I'd say put on display.

[itsbenhere]

I think you're right K.  And I also agree with beats' post, that'd be sweet to get some final pictures!  These jeans definitely deserve some final documentation.

I'm going to be touring Japan in September/October which will include a stop in Nagano. Depending on what condition they're in I might like to take them along for the ride if others are okay with it.

Pics, display, and retire 'em. This has been such an awesome journey. Thanks for keeping it alive Kiya and everybody involved.

I say keep and display! Would like to see how they've turned out at this point...Funny how much change has come since my leg on the tour, they're sure to hold a special place for all of us. And just as epic, that notebook!

Anyone got pictures of that notebook?  I don't think I've ever seen it before.

[itsbenhere]

Were these just washed once a month? These look soooooo much better to me than most of the flat heads I see.

[aho]

^I'd argue that any pair after 3+ years of wear (5 for these?) will be better than most pairs we see that are still in their infancy...

 

kiya, are these on display now?

[itsbenhere]

That's definitely true, but if you take a look at them around the year or two year mark they already look pretty different than most.  It's definitely just my preference for less contrast, and I think it's really cool to get a denim thats pretty much known for high contrast to yield something really different.

[aho]

^Agreed! It's been a few years and memory escapes me but I think they were washed more often than once a month. Personally when I got the pair I threw them in the washing machine twice...

Whoa, it's been a while, Kiya do you still have these?

I do still have these!  Also, i have the Moleskin notebook which traveled with the jeans for years.

[BAerts]

Wow, crazy! I remember wearing these for a quick run when I still lived in Nashville. Daaaang. Start em up again?

[Cold Summer]

Kiya showed me the notebook a while back - it was pretty sweet.

[itsbenhere]

These jeans will always be special to me because they're what gave me the sneaking suspicion that Flat Head had beautiful denim, and no one had experienced it yet thanks to never washing.

Legendary!!
