The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

[juliaN.]

they don't look sanded at all

ddml you paint? I notice some splattering on those, can't tell what they are but looks like paint. Reminds me of the NBHD paint splattered series of pants recently released, although obviously a natural occurrence of this visual is preferable to a prepackaged one.

i don't paint as in fine art

but i am working on turning my office into a nursery so yeah, i painted a room in my hawaiis

monitors are weird. on my computer at home, the full shots of the hawaiis looked about right, but on my work computer, they look raw (deep dark blue). at home, the lap shot looks washed out, but at work they look about right. strange.

both jeans, the hawaiis and 811s are pretty much "retired" as in i don't really consider them projects anymore. the 811s are hard to wear because the button holes are so fucked up. the hawaiis are my go-to jeans when i am doing home projects. i usually keep them folded up in a drawer. my project jeans are hung by their hems in a closet to preserve the creases.

[juliaN.]

yeah i understand what you mean ... very often clothes look one way in life, then on the photo sometimes they are unrecognizable. With color this is one thing, but with shape and silhouette it can be an even more misleading representation.

don't think i've ever had any serious 'project' jeans...hard for me to wear the same pair of pants every day over a very long stretch of time, jeans or otherwise. I might wear a pair of APCs, 45R's heavy for like a week, and then switch to a period where i'm wearing cargo pants or prewashed jeans.

word.

don't know why i didn't include these earlier, but just a couple more detail shots of the hawaiis:

what's up, sufu? I've been lurking forever and I love reading this thread.

my contribution (x-post from crate thread): Crate Thomas, 2+ years of steady wear, one machine wash and a few soaks. I know lighter denim is not as hard core, but it is a lifesaver in Texas, and these have held up well with the help of some tailor TLC.

crummy pics:

[denimdestroyedmylife]

[almostnice]

In the washing machine now for the first machine wash. Almost made it four months. Picked up a pair of pbj's to alternate with at work.

[RandomRules]

Corpus Rye Raw Straight. One year. The second wash I was drunk and threw them in on a really brutal cycle and forgot to turn them inside out. Oh well, it didn't really do anything to them and I think they look great. For jeans I bought for 75 bucks, not bad.

Sorry for the cell picture, it's all I have to work with. Some pictures of the back later, if I'm not lazy.

[Chicken]

HMMM, they look sanded

would've repped if i could've.

ddml, some great progress. funny how you picked two stubborn jeans in your mix -- hawaiis and suminandos.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

tell me about it

wearing my ryukyuai right now

here is a fit pic of the hawaiis while i have momentum:

[Guest n1cx0]

f310 - one year and one month. you can probably tell i don't wear them very hard, mostly to school and back.

they kinda look like they've been infected by an std but believe it or not i just washed them in the weekend.

[rockon99]

what the hell is all that? dirt? do you ride a bike without a fender in the rain? haha

[selaviso]

it looks like dirt.

[Guest n1cx0]

i think it's a combo of dirt, salt and all that other crap on the streets. it's the slush, wet snow, and water getting on the jeans while i'm walking.

[farmer]

what the hell is all that? dirt? do you ride a bike without a fender in the rain? haha

if that were the case he'd have major butt stripe:D. They look great!

[salaami]

all pairs on last 3-4 pages are outstanding:eek:

[jacoBUH_x]

PBJ 005

I honestly dont know how many months. I think about 2 or 3.

Pre-wash

Post-wash

Sorry for stupid pics

[duck sauce]

intereresting fade on the stacks, do they rub together when you walk?

[selaviso]

that happens to my jeans when i walk with no shoes on... they drag under my heel

[fur]

great stuff jacob

[rockon99]

Haha good point..

[Double D]

Two years af Ande Whall V3 - 26x34, 3 washes, 2 soaks, 6 month intervals yaddayadda. Still the darkest pair of jeans I own even with so much wear put into them.

As ever Firefox is fucking up the image levels due to the fact that it still can't handle sRGB profiles properly.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

i like this shot

[mackie]

very nice

crate chinos have been on my list for a minute now

did you do the repair yourself?

yeah man, I would love to check out the chinos. please post if you get them.

the repairs were done by a pro. but now that these are on their last legs, I may hit the sewing machine and practice on them myself a bit.

[mackie]

thanks for all the positive comments, folks! nice to be here.

@almost, pretty sure the vespa is in tribute to Thomas Popov from Factory People, who they made the Thomas for.

[Leonard Leroy]

still snow outside so I can't take good pictures, but I washed my flatheads again.

[DeltaZ113]

These are the jeans that really made me get interested in SuperFuture. Five months or so, I just washed them whenever they needed it. I don't really wear them anymore, so I'm lending them to a friend
