The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

[cure]

thanks. i'll get some fit pics when i go home for thanskgiving in a week or so maybe. I pretty much wear them everyday and do everything in them. I've worn them to 5 filthy-sweaty concerts, play football/volleyball in them, skateboard, and all drunken activities as well.

Here are my contest skulls, at maybe 13-14 months of wear now. I went camping last week and they reek of smoke so I had to wash them.

Washed at 50c no spin cycle, with a ton of salt. This is its third wash. (No PS tweaking)

holyyyyyy......

[ekhoality]

Not the best pictures, but these were stolen from a friend. I'm thinking of moving on to a new pair of jeans when the new year starts. Any suggestions?

with a ton of salt.

what does salt do

[XXXL]

what does salt do

as i've read i'm unsure on which style it is but I think it's samurai styled washing?

the salt helps prevent major major indigo loss. simply, keeps it from fading quickly. please do correct me if I'm wrong.

i think this is true also. it makes it so that it doesnt lose as much indigo per wash. im going to do that with my flatheads so they dont turn too white...

~ 1 month, maybe a few days more but

4001BK, pocket is fading way too fast

[khoiphan92]

finally! some 4001s. nice keep going

[hollowsleather]

Nice! Black fades are too scarce.

[Cameland]

Thanks for the comments and rep guys. I'd just like to point out, to those asking. I do not have abnormal knees!! I don't know why I get so much fading on my knees, but I think it has to do with the way I sit, which is one legged crossed over the other.

Cheers!

some slightly outdated pictures i came across looking over old photos. from the left to the right : 5EPxSF (BNWT), APC NS (~4mos), Flathead 5100 (5-6mos). just thought the side by side comparison was interesting.

wish the 5EPxSF had fit.

自己接觸、操作修改牛仔褲褲腳已經有幾年的時間

一直以來都想著要能將這個部位經過修改後能達到理想的狀態

近一年多以來為了讓褲腳車縫處顯得較有厚實感

所以捨棄了多數修改者慣用且方便的三折方式（三層布料車縫）

花了不少的時間練習與調整手法改用目前的四折方式（四層布料車縫）

四折的方式在這一年多以來當有人拿已經穿過一段時日的褲子

或者較軟的布料褲子來修改時其實在修改的車縫後鎖鏈車線造成的效果

完全不輸給三折車法所能表現出的成效

但是當遇到尚未去漿、水洗的較厚實布料時確讓我一直都不甚滿意

上兩張照片就是之前以14.75 oz 的超紮實布料折成四折後修改車縫,再經過使用之後的效果

其實並不能達到自己完全滿意的狀態

幾天前在和MOBY聊天時偶然發現MOBY身上穿的褲子褲腳經過修改後（由其他人修改）

同樣經過一段時間穿著使用後褲腳的皺摺效果比起上面兩張照片中更明顯得多

雖然我不清楚修改者是以三折的方式或者四折的方式去操作修改的動作

但是我卻發覺這一年多以來自己為了希望讓褲腳經過修改的車縫後有厚實的近圓柱狀效果

而忽略掉經過鎖鏈車線縮水,將布料拉起的皺摺其實效果也變得較差一些

仔細的反省自己後決定一定要努力克服這樣的狀況

接下來花了三天的時間將機器仔細的重新反覆測試、調整

也使用多種不同車線的組合並配合各種不同調整方式以及布料的厚度去重新修正

一定要在四層布料的狀態下除了有圓柱狀的效果外車線將布料拉起的皺摺也能達到滿意的效果

所謂皺摺能到滿意的效果就是布料的皺摺是延著褲腳圓柱狀的邊緣呈現接近螺旋狀的明顯皺摺

（類似最上方的圖一所示）

當然這樣的效果在三折（三層）布料上很容易表現出來

但是四折（四層）布料卻是困難了不少

最後終於達到自己要求的標準了

就是這樣整圈立體又狹長的皺摺

側面看起來的效果

再從不同的角度去看

以上幾張原色褲的褲腳是用全新的14.75 oz 布料去測試所得到的效果 (Real McCOY'S S613XH)

接下來再將之前已經修改過並且已經穿過的褲子車線拆掉重新車縫

[zk4025]

所得到的效果也是明顯的非常滿意

接下來再使用17oz的厚重布料來測試

效果也一樣能達到自己的要求

因此這樣的成效就是自己將來的標準

或許在旁觀者的角度去看並沒有太大的差異

但是當許多事情過不了自己這一關時

心裡總會有不踏實的感覺

我會時時警惕自己繼續保持著不斷反省的態度

才能永遠有更多的進步空間
