The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

[mr fluffernutter]

Is that selvedge peeking through?! I thought Ande didn't use selvedge? regardless, the color on those is amazing. reminds me of the nudie svenska denim, but better.

Nope it's not selvage, It's just folded and overlocked(?).

We need more streaky denim.

Mr Switch, did you buy those Jean Shops raw? (or one wash that is). About how long did it take to start the fading? I have a pair that I've barely worn adn I'm wondering what kind of work I have cut out for me/

I am pretty sure they were in a one wash state when I bought them. They were kinda wrinkled. They started to fade after the 3rd month. They stayed pretty dark... which I like. I am trying to keep these guys pretty dark. I washed them in the coldest water my machine could spit out and the changes weren't drastic. I will post after wash pics this weekend.

To whoever asked about the rise: These have a pretty normal rise. A little more than RRDS and less than lvc 47s. Just like the porridge... not too hot and not too cold... just right.

[mr fluffernutter]

How much were these and how did you get them?

[sXXXe]

DIOR 19cm MADE IN JAPAN.

5 MONTHS WITHOUT WASHING.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

they look awesome right now, sxxxe. i would put another pair into rotation to keep these looking fresh. i love this phase, when the indigo is still nice and dark, and the higes are many shades of blue.

[cheapmuthafukr]

how much? i want to get a pair for my son.

ya right DDML i will do it.

i put my BLACK RAW 19cm and my CHEAP MONDAY TIGHT into the rotation.

time will tell...........

My selvage Diors are looking similar to sXXXe's, except I've realized the Japanese non-selvage have a lot more indigo to start with than the selvage. He's got the really bright blue shades peeking through, mine aren't as intense. I've got a nice subtle fade on my right back pocket from a bifold wallet and then a nice defined fade from my back left where I keep my smokes. My combs aren't as grated or vibrant looking. I still maintain now that I'm several months down the line that Diors aren't really jeans to wear with the aim of fading, they're just jeans to enjoy the fit of. If you want nice fades, go with something heavy weight with Japanese-level variegation.

As of now I don't have any raw indigo in my rotation so I am thinking I probably need some soon...

Diamonds & Cheap-

I got em thru 2000db.

I'll PM both of you with details.

[beatle]

Damn, I'd wish i would have learned from such an early age. Haha

[ang_kangkong]

Send those photos to Samurai. That could be in their ads and you could get free jeans for your daughter.

Seriously.

[mr fluffernutter]

Amazing.

I'd love to get a pair for my little brother for Christmas but he said he doesn't like jeans...

[moykky]
