x-post from the LVC thread

Some 1947 Lovin'. Here are my brother's 501s, worn for almost half a year with one dry clean and a hot wash? I absolute love the small details like the noticeably thinner selvage line and how the leather patch ages.

First evo pic. My humble, Julian reds 'cali no wash'

15 months or so, 4 or 5 washes. I forgot.

[cLavin]

Zeen is there a reason you haven't washed them?

[Warakia]

Update on my Evisu's

Evisu 0005's, 1 soak, 7.5 months in.

oh i'm sorry, 'cali no wash' is the model name. I've made 4 or so washes on these.

[cLavin]

Hahaha just making sure my false assumptions were false.

Been in my 1901s for the summer. Looking even better again now they're getting dirty. I'm always staggered by how totally different they look and feel vs the 1922 201 - one is high contrast redcast, the other low contrast greencast.

I always try to take pictures of my denim but always have trouble capturing in focus with accurate color photos. Luckily today I was able to!

You can see all the fold lines, 1 for the usual cuff but it has been getting hot in the city so i just keep cuffing higher.

edwin 505sk, after hot soak

[aeglus]

Skull 5507s. Hot soaked when I got them, wore them most days. Summer caught up with them and I finally gave them a wash after 7 months. Really tough to get color accurate pictures, but I got pretty close I suppose. Putting before/after wash pictures together to see the difference.

Full pics (especially the back) didn't turn out too well, too hard to get a good focus:

Combs:

Lap:

Many crotch reinforcements done by myself, more going to be needed by the looks of things:

Bonus shot of the knee, looks closer to this compared to how it is in the full shot:

Overall a little surprised how much the look of the jeans changed after a 40*C wash. Basically they got a lot more contrast. Oh, and that hole on the lap is part of a long night involving a fight, Korea and USA losing the world cup, and lots of soju+beer. Probably going to start working on my Sugar Cane 1966s soon, but these jeans have a very long life ahead of them.

About a month after the second wash. Not getting to much wear this summer.
