The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

First post in here - thought I'd give a little rundown of some jeans, past and present.

APC New Standard black, started sometime in '07 - ocean washed at 7-8 months, shit tons of washes since. These have been though a lot. Loads of shows, bike riding, freight hopping - I ripped the crotch out on a razor wire fence, hence the ultra bootleg bandanna patch up.

Sugar Cane '47s, great jeans - started tail end of '07(?), worn for about 7 months without wash, again, washed a lot since. Got some real vibrant blues that came out and a lot of motor grease that went in - denim was stubborn. I don't wear these much anymore.

Currently in rotation:

SExIH07 BKs, heavy as fuck, I rode my bicycle a lot in these, glad I picked up something lighter - great for motorcycles though - warm and durable. Stubborn dye, very tough, I'm hoping that these will last me a quite a while. I've washed them once, they got too gnarly from cycle sweat. Started in October '10. PIcs are pretty ho-hum.

2nd current rotation pair: Samurai 505xx. Nice weight - perfect for daily cycling and work use. Getting some great electric blues starting to pop out, one of the best cuts of jeans I've encountered in a long time. Bottom of leg burned from exhaust pipe, soaked twice, dirty as fuck.

Edwin 505X Jeans, these are neither raw or selvedge. Pictures are not accurate on color, these look kinda green/blue.

13 months. plenty of soaks/washes

xpost from two year thread, somet 030. Sized up one on these.

Teaser pre-wash pics of my 3+year old somet. Like all my jeans, they were worn really off-and-on, so I'm not sure how much actual wear or how many washes. Something like 6-8 cold washes, a couple hot soaks. Need some repairs and another wash.
