The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

[mike lowrey]

haha thats dope!

[watchman]

haha that is awesome. The question is, how are you going to put them on again.

[tweeds]

awesome! somebody start a How Jeans Stand Up thread please.

wasn't there another photo of standing jeans, only they were sammies?

[Aramyr]

Yeah, there are pics of 17oz sammies doing the stand, and my 19oz ones would do it too, but I didn't think to get pics at the time.

[mike lowrey]

mickawes, got any pics of those ewdins on ye?

[watchman]

yeah, as much as them standing up is cool, this is about how they look, and i haven't seen any good fade pics of the rainbows yet.

[Louis]

Found these at a thrift for 10 bucks Levis Selvedge Offenders. have no idea how old they are, but it looked like it had been washed maybe twice when i first got it

yeah i dont know where my camera is right now so i havent been able to take a good picture of these.

[Kodak]

Yeah we really wanted to see a pic of you urinating, but anyways nice jeans.

[mike lowrey]

very convenient way of taking a leak.

[naturaljax]

These are my Levi 501xx at 7months-ish.

stil no wash, but pretty heavy wear, and inital quick hot water soak.

wondering if I should wash 'em yet or not.

for christmas I'm buying myself a better pair of jeans.

[watchman]

are those just the normal STF? did you get them when they were still selvedge? my brother has a pair for his first pair of raw denim and i'm trying to gauge if it's worth it to get him a new pair or something nicer for christmas or not

[naturaljax]

yup, just plain jane STF, no selvadge unfortunately.

I was too poor back then to invest in some good jeans, but I think these turned out alright.

Wanted to see if they passes the Supertalk test or not, though hahaha.

my three choices right now are LVC 501 selvadge, Samurai or Sugarcane.

I'm trying to decide which of the three to go with.

[watchman]

that's kind of a big price difference for your next choice. I have the LVC 47's and the Sugarcane 47's, and they are both pretty sick. The LVC's are a more lightweight denim since they are true to the original 12.5 oz, but they are a slimmer cut than the Cane 47's even though they're supposed to be the same. I woud reccomend the canes and sizing down, since the denim is definitely nicer feeling just to the touch. But, if you like the all-american authenticity of real Levis, you should go with the LVC. either way you won't be dissapointed. Or of course, samurai's which i have no experience with.

are these the canes that you have?

i was surprised to see these didn't have a back detail.

[watchman]

yeah, i have those, except mine are a little older so they have the back pocket arctuates. The lack of arctuates is a new detail that is necessary because of Levis threatening to litigate when Sugarcane started moving into the UK and US markets more aggressively. They have more info on it in the Sugarcane denim thread.

[naturaljax]

aw go figure.

guess i'll have to watch Supermarket if I want a pair of Canes.

don't wanna look like a bandwagon jumper

[watchman]

haha yeah that would be a shame, but if there's a bandwagon i'm unaware of it. Even though there may be a big following on this board i am yet to see any other person wearing them.

[BrokenGlass]

haha. thats awesome mickawes... hope you werent wearing the Cloak boots out in that rain, would hate to see that...this makes me think.. if I soak my rb11's will they stiffen back up? I would love it if they did, they've gotten all soft on me.

[cultpop 0217]

for broken glass

diesel rabox 80Q aftr 2 years and nikkis at 6 months (4 months ago)

these diesels were tough as hell. had a resin treatment of some kind. the crotch finally gave way after 2 years of skating in them. repaired them and havent worn them much since. testiment that diesel does make some quality denim.

Just posted this in the WAYWT thread.

And brokenglass, dont worry man, they are for warm weather only! Just conditioned the leather too, its soft as butter now!

[Telix]

RRDS after 9 months of wear and 2 washes. These things will look great after a month of wear grimes em' up a bit. Unfortunately they won't get much as I'm breaking in the SJ's.

[sunny]

nice..

seems like the rrds gets the best contrast.
