The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

[jo3 b]

CMF, same here.

i strayed away from the washing my jeans after a long period of time to get the more subtle fade. its like what once appealed to me is slowly becoming not as great as a nice low contrast pair of jeans. i guess all the raw wear made me appreciate the color a lot more.

just gave my NS a soak after about 4 mos. the subtle fading is what i was going for and its coming along nicely.

[cheapmuthafukr]

yeah... i just think super high contrast fades wouldnt work as well for the majority of outfits. its cool if youre never gonna wear them again, and hang them on your wall or some shit, but i like my jeans and i like to wear them. i want to be able to make them work for 3 years, not 6 months.

[drgitlin]

Basicly the first Evisu you could get here. They started my raw denim love, still have an untouched pair waiting for me.

Not that happy with how they turned out, stopped wearing them.

Where's here? Evisu have been available in most places a lot longer than two years.

[Charlie Delta]

^The Netherlands, and I've been wearing them for something like 4 years (2 years on and off, 2 years daily) and had them for a lot longer. I think the first time I saw them was 6 or 7 years ago.

Those Evisus are pretty ill

[denimdestroyedmylife]

i like those evisus, duck.

while we are on the "subtle fade" tip, here are my six month sugar cane hawaii ai (sc40400n) at six months, one wash:

front no flash/back with flash

back is closer to actual color

[Chicken]

^ your combs are coming along nicely.

and nice evisus.

[BrokenGlass]

those evisus do look pretty awesome, lots of character. I can see what you mean about wanting a little more contrast/deffinition, though I think they look great. I'm not really all that crazy about honeycombs, not sure why everyone goes nuts over them, so in your case I really like how subtle they are.

[headtowall]

It seems like a lot of the best pairs I've seen on here have been Evisu.

[panikEpenguin]

duck's evisu's look fantastic, especially the fact that the fading isn't very even.

[watchman]

those evisus look good duck, it's nice for me to have a reason to gain some confidence back in them. Canes are looking great, definitely liking the subtle fade with nice honeycombs

[M.O.A]

why do okinawas and hawaii's fade so differently

[sneakeraddict]

I've always like Evisus and never understood why they got so much hate on here.

I genuinely think the Japan Evius No.1 is a modern classic.

Granted, the Evisu EU line was a load of dog-wank, but that shouldnt reflect on the whole company, just like regular Levis have no bearing on our love for LVC.

It became too gaudy and chavvy here in the UK I think, they shoulda just kept the plain white logo and nothing else.

I'd defo save for the No.1 if they made them long enough for me, :( even though I think the 30000 yen is not a fair price, but I like them anyway.

i think i know why nudie says not to wash for at least 6months now... thats crazy that they are so light.

ahh... must have overlooked that.

but would it do that much damage?

[swisloc]

^^

seriously... why the bleach?

[poly800rock]

1 wash @60c and 3 washes @40c..only the 60 i used bleach.. at the 40c washes never! so dno were the indigo has gone

looks awesome, even with the bleach

[tweeds]

still looks good, even though it's not really my sort of thing, being a bit too faded...but it does look awesome.

[M.O.A]

they look good sarlo. saw em on mynudies. are they greycasted or selvedge ralfs? they look like RRDG but im not sure

[Seething Tortoise]

If memory serves me (often doesn't) they've Greycast.

[watchman]

they look like it. I washed my grey casts pretty early by accident, and they lost quite a bit of color.

[Carl]

Meh, why not...

Not quite 4 months, worn everyday.

[Servo2000]

That's some well-defined fading, it seems. Hopefully your first wash will even it up a little, but overall, looking good. Love the color.

[tnf1029]

Great fading ( 2 years ) may be i should bleech mine

hehe

[sarlo]

Yes they are greycast
