i finally decided to wash my apcs.

here's the pics pre wash @ 8.5 months:

i'll post the post wash pics asap.

[saintkeat]

hey pat post some fit pics with those. i'm interested to see how they fit to cause such spaced out honeycombs and stacks. imagining they fit somewhat baggy?

I'm right at one year of actual wear on my MFSC 7161s, so I thought I'd post up some photos. These started out as one wash, and they've been hand washed about 8 times, and machine washed once. I wasn't going for high contrast fades at all. These jeans could easily go at least another six months, but they'll be hanging in the closet for pretty much the whole next year with the Roy contest going on. I adjusted light levels on some of the photos so they were all about the same, but no other adjustments were made.

And just for fun, here's what they looked like right out of the box

Lovely. .

Those Nihon Menpu fabrics are so rich and beautul new... they don't need a high contrast fade.

[TLCA]

Agreed, Zissou those are looking good, I love the front pocket placement, the wiskers on the pocket look great,

Iron Heart 634SB. Actual wear of about 4months.

Not much evolution happening, but it's coming in slowly. And Im enjoying the process. Just a few photos to share.

Colors are most accurate in the 1st photo. (I suck in taking denim shots, have no idea why.)

Will wash them tomorrow, and post-wash pics after that.

x post from sam thread, S5000GT-X Earth Element, 8 months of weekend and rotational wear. Really hope to put more wear in them, the color varies alot throughout the denim that it's pretty hard to capture. The hue is pretty true to what it is.

[Guest nooblet333]

Very nice work everyone! ^^

[amlai]

F380s, 1 wash at 17mo after the initial soak. This pair is being surprisingly stubborn. I had more wear into my Sorahikos by this point.

Pre/post wash pictures are nearly identical, so just posting post-wash:

[chambo2008]

Nice pictures, wear harder!!!!

[blm14]

I actually like his fades a TON, especially the lap ones. Look almost 3-D and the inside parts of the creases look like pools of dye. Very nicely done.

[CrashTestBrummie]

Lee Japan 101B, 1930 model, at the one year mark, coming along nicely:

[shinobi2000]

tsk tsk...is that a cell phone fade starting in the right pocket?

[ah_long]

tsk tsk...is that a cell phone fade starting in the right pocket?

nope... it's a scrape from something that I've been trying to figure out for a while.. my guess is from lugging around a few heavy boat batteries.. but I could be wrong..

Post Wash Pics of my Iron Heart 634SB. Only the first and 4th pic are editted to brighten up.

They still look very much black in doors. These are how they look under natural light.

4months of actual wear.

1 wash

[Guy Incognito]

Loads of nice jeans again from knugget, duck sauce etc.

These are also nice and funny how the whiskers look somewhat like honeycombs.
