sure thing, they were standard levi 511's in the rigid dragon wash, they're not selvedge. i used a seam ripper to remove the arcs because i thought they were kinda boring. i bought them here for cheap

not bad for less than $40

the denim itself is pretty light weight, I would guess 12.5oz and the crotch needs some reinforcing before it tears

[offyatree]

So i went to the ocean for an hour or so to give my SDA 103 a quick sea soak.

Here's how they look like. They're just drying up on this pic.

some indoor shooting.

About 18 months wear now, washed for the first time after about four months, then another five or so washes since then. Always at 30 degrees, always using Bronners.

That's crazy that those 510's are natural indigo! I wouldn't have guessed it by looking.

My 0500s have been a good jean to me in the summer heat. Fresh from a wash (6 washes, countless soaks), about 10 months of wear. Shots taken during overcast, color is pretty true.
