The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

[ang_kangkong]

Stun–was just talking about your 101s. They're looking much loved. How much would you say they shrank in length? I thought you'd stop wearing them now that they didn't stack. I forget, did you wash in cold, warm or hot?

[mike lowrey]

you seem to get hit by cars more than usual, apparently to get more wear in your jeans. respect.

hahaha!

serously though, you got hit on two occasions, how the hell?

[xcoldricex]

measurement on the rise? it doesnt look like the typical rise of a wrangler jeans....oh and fit too. Those look pretty neat imo. I love the wrangler rivets on the pockets.

who makes wrangler repros? I know that edwin does but any of the other big cmpanies usually discussed on this board?

sda did one last year. limited edition though. i'm still kicking myself for not picking it up.

[braid]

Jeffvyain, those sammies are looking great...I really dont see why you need a size smaller. They actually look slightly more fitted then my 29's do. Anyway, congrats on the wear.

In length, they shrank about an inch and a half. I did a hot soak the first time, a hot wash a second time, and got caught in the rain on Sunday. Rode them yesterday to dry em off.

Just checked my PM today, and saw that you messaged me a while back :X. Sorry about that, I hardly keep track of SF messages. I havent been able to check. But Im kinda intersted in them myself, seeing that mine stretched at least 2 sizes in the waist.

hahaha!

HAHA yea... First time it was the ladys fault, and I didnt get her information. Just left cuz I was pissed. Second time it was partially both our faults. I ran a red, she has bad vision and just mashed off the green pretty fast. HAHA... At least it add character to my jeans, I guess.

Hopefully I dont get hit before New Years. I dont have anymore money to put towards my bike! HAHA!

if i had bought them a size smaller i would've never had to throw them in the dryer. that's my only qualm. i just washed and dried them yesterday for the 2nd time, and now they fit exactly how i wanted them to. i'll probably never have to do that again now. thank god

oh and thanks by the way. after yesterday, they're looking even cooler. they're a little more blue and they're getting a little bit of a streaky look to them with some vertical falling (not like eternals or anything, but still very cool).

[beefcake]

haha and your screen name is stuntastic. oh the irony...

[Jetta]

Well since I know some people love before pics and no after pics! Finally got around to organizing some pictures and figured I would put these up since they arent they usual apc/nudie.

I would post after pics, but these things are slow wearing! going to take years for me to get them worn in :\ But the denim is beautiful and a serious work of art.

[erbs]

Jetta- those Fullcounts look great. Is the 1101 the 47 repro model?

[stuntastic]

So do you know the meaning of my screen name?

Funny.

My old sn was beefcake messiah. Son.

Got a little late with the before pictures so combs are already developing.

But in 6 months time these babies will rock the world.

They are a Big E repro, so I guess 50's? I just liked the cut

RRDS at 3 months. I'm going to wash them in a few weeks, at the end of the semester. They won't get too much interesting wear while I'm at home and I'd rather not bring them home just to fester. I'm also getting a little creeped out putting them on since they haven't been washed.

Contrast is getting there, nothing crazy yet, but in time they should be good.

This is my first pair of dry denim. Worn without any weird starching or crap, because uh..I don't wear starched jeans, so I was just doing this completely natural.

Thoughts? This is my first go at this so tell me what up

Next on the list: Skulls or Ande Grifters

[dismalfuture]

why wash them man? Wash them when they look dirty, as in ,dragged in a pile of poo and smell like it too. You've got a school year left of wearing at least before you can even consider washing them.

[damnIam]

If you wash those it will be too soon. WE WASH NO DENIM BEFORE IT'S TIME

[sell veg]

^^ especially nudies. or if you insist on washing... don't give up, they will continue to fade. but seriously, i wouldn't wash. i see no contrast, and the wash isn't magical. miraculous fading will not appear after a wash if it wasn't there already.

I just love those jeans!!!!

[HighHopes]

Levis 501xx from sears. Wore them for 4 months before first wash. I skated them real hard so they wore in real quick.

wait just a minute!!!! are these just basic STFs? cause damn these are looking good.

[HighHopes]

Yea, $32.99 at sears, I skated them almost everyday for 4 months, then when I realized a hole slowly coming through the knee I washed them.

[madeinkorea23]

wow those STF's came out really nice. mine after 8 months came out like shit. have never worn them since i washed them

[hype_killz]

HighHopes...you may have ispired my to try a pair....did you ever starch, and if so how often? Did you soak them before you began wearing....and last for the first wash did you use soap or just a long rinse?

[stuntastic]

Funky.

First pic the wallet is in the right pocket, second pic its in the left haha.

Those came out pretty nicely.

[watchman]

those are a nice blue for STF's

I usually starched once every two weeks to a month.

I soaked them in warm water for 3 hours and let them hang dry before wearing.

And when I washed them I put them in the machine on a hot/cold rinse and used a little detergent and a small amount of bleach.

Haha yea, I put the picture wrong at first so I rotated them and didn't realize that the pockets switched sides as a result.

[johnnay]

ive never been able to get those ankle honeycombs that high on my leg on my STFs...how much longer were they on you?

[HighHopes]

I'm normally a 33 or 34 waist and a 30 or 32 length. The levis were size 35/34, and they shrunk a pretty decent amount after soaking. They were probably close to 32 after soaking.

[__3xL]

Ones up top look like 38" waist while the bottom pair look like 33-34" ..

What gives ?

Those yours seriously ? lol

Ummm, they stretched out a lot after 4 months of wear and then they shrunk back down after he washed them?
