Been wearing my Imperial Duke's for a little more than a year. Two repairs from Self Edge and I'm very satisfied with the wear.

the sole reason denime beats 95% of the competition. unmistakable, not generic fade.

Hi all, these are my albams at ~7.5 months (retired already after double front pocket-splosion) after 1 soak and 1 wash. I think they are the classic slim model. The denim was nice, albeit a little lightweight, it went from very dark straight to sky blue. Sorry about the pic quality and angles.

[baldy]

no homo but obey looking like a girl from the back

[DFreshLeish]

Loco: Nice! Would +rep if i could for what its worth...

More of my 10 month Red D's, 1 cold soak at 4 months, on top of my new SExDBxSxS12's, only tried on, waiting for hem...

Color is fairly accurate...

[ThinFinn]

@ron:

why did you retire them? front-pocket explosion?

can't see shit so just keep on rocking...they will get nicer and nicer...

[ronbiggles]

Yup, both pockets commited Seppuku, flimsy tea-towel material, you can kinda see the guts hangin' out in pic one. Plus I got some flat head f310's cheap, barely used but w/ a small repair from previous owners fat legs busting the inner seam . The albams, although good for the monehs, @ 12 or 13oz were too lightweight for my liking.

f310's after ~ 3 months:

(excuse the dirty floor, ahem; was repotting my chillies)

Some whiskers (albams)

wait, by you cant see shit, do you mean the photos are not showing?

[chambo2008]

no their showing i think he ment in the fact they are no longer wearable, and that they still look wearable

[ronbiggles]

cool, thought so. I did email albam to see if they could fix the pockets, but as I paid ~£40 and have since bought a few pairs of nice jeans, I can't see them ever getting much more wear.

Thank you for all the compliments. As my boy FACE said, Zissou, I work in a auto shop. Plus I get out and enjoy nature, ha.

^ nice work

MIJ Evisu Lot 2000 in No.1 denim ...well into their third year now. Excuse the snow...

The patch is holding up incredibly well, compared to a lot of others:

Faintest hint of the original black gulls:

And the crotch reinforcement, done a couple of years ago in itself, and invisible when the jeans are being worn:

[TLCA]

jeans look sick, that crotch patch looks pretty good too... wiskers are insane on those

[M1stral]

Hi all,

First of all, picture heavy post. So be warned.

I've been cleaning the closet in my bedroom today and stumbled upon a pair of jeans. This was my first foray into raw denim. Jeans of the brand Blue Blood (Dutch designer brand). Worn on and off for about 2 to 3 years. Probably 3 or 4 washes.

Cut was sized a bit baggy. And though I'm not looking after big comments and mayor rep, I just wanted to share this with you for the sake of documentation.

This might not been what you all been looking for though, but I saw some minor details I just wanted to share.

I hope you all can enjoy this.

those dont look like they were raw

[I.T.]

Cross-post from LVC.

Thinking of retiring my LVC 47's, because I'm sick of fixing them after every wear. They had a good life, bought 6/2008, with maybe a four or five month break because of my lazyness to fix them.

Pic overload, sorry.

[M1stral]

those dont look like they were raw

Well, they aren't prewash either. I know they don't look like they were raw, but they sure were.

Though BlueBlood did something to the jeans after dying them. Sounds absurd, but these have been baked/cooked before they hit the store shelves (Salesmen told me, don't know if he was telling the truth though. But if I'm not mistaken I've read something on the net regarding this proces). Dunno if it does something to the indigo or the wear/fadeproces, but I will think so.

BlueBlood had three lines of garments, "Dry Goods" being the only line of it containing raw jeans. Which this model belongs to.

[TLCA]

M1stral, the combs and wiskers look pre distressed and I'm not feeling the back pockets or cinch, but everyone has different taste just not my cup of tea

[M1stral]

True, they look like it and I don't like the looks of it too. That's why I posted for the sake of documention. Not because they are totally rad. But I can assure you, they aren't predistressed.

I think the " bad" wear is to be searched somewhere else, as in fitwise. These jeans were worn very baggy, that doesn't go well with defined fades I guess.

But nonetheless, I respect your opinion and at this time I could even agree with you that the jeans are not my cup of tea either anymore. We all go through some phases in our lives, aren't we?

[ukashoeheadist]

since 5.10.08... but worn only about a little less than 2 years

excuse outfit. i was lazy.

[rjsavestheday]

^ wow they've held up well, did you have to do any repairs?

[Bodyslam]
