[tweeds]

^ as you said sir.

actually...c.f. still's post, the top button on those new standards he posted is flat - that must have been from one of the older collections, i gather.

wow. she might become the real winner of the samurai contest.

nice work, tip! i think you're ready to move onto heavier duty stuff. if those were your 811s, you'd be getting higher contrast and mean vertical fades, i bet.

[tweeds]

on that note, chicken...

barely worn eternals.

the lighter patch on the seat was a result of sitting down (poetically, i hope) on a riverbank in thailand. when i got up i found my arse beautifully yellow and had to salvage the situation with a damp cloth.

oh man, more pics everyone please!

For Kixlsif's sake

Nudie RRDS: 84 days of general usage, in and outdoors, the weird discolouration at the top half was due to a soak (experimenting with shrinkage)

Evisu 0101 No.1 Special: About 5 months, didn't wear them as much first as I realised even after a huge shrink in a soak (like from a 34 waist down to a 30 then another hot soak down to 28) , they were still a loose/baggy fit. Got them ultra tailored and just wear em to work (Timezone gaming arcades )

Eh leather taggy thingy with No.1 stampage

very looking forward to the same picks, few months later.

it's good to see someone rockin evisus around here once in a while, imo.

agreed. one of teh brands you always wanna get but know people already have....so why bother? cuz they're good. Surprised you went for that accurate for the evisu's though, especially being #1 denim, i would have gone for the hand painted one.

[Tenchi]

Umm if you mean the back gulls, yeh they are hand painted

btw they would have looked like this if I hadn't gotten them tailored

meh, if you are gonna wear evisu, its pretty difficult for them not to appear flashy. So if i was going to buys ome I would damn well make sure they were ballin ass flashy.

unless the idiosyncrasies of each brush stroke on each pocket coincidentally happened to match exactly... no, they're not handpainted; they're silkscreened.

looks like your tailor did a great job, though!

APC Seawater Recipe! 44 degree Pacific. 2 cool washes before that. 9 months weekend wear. I got really hammered to dull the pain. Did it at midnight. Id do a lot for jeans..

after:

[poly800rock]

wow, that looks awesome

[sam113]

Amazing how much these have changed in the 1.5 months since I washed them-

both in the crease/contrast and the lap and vertical fade.

[40ozprophet]

looking pretty awesome. where did you get that leather strap? been lookin for one for a while.

Unless my 20/20 vision is deceiving me under the influence on beer, those gulls are different on each side.

Edit: Well, I zoomed in and now I can see less difference than zoomed out. Stupet low resolution.

most stubborn jeans on earth

[d is for dru]

random, apc standards....ima 30 wast (suit measurement) size up or size down?

[triniboy27]

What size ALD belt is this in comparison to your jeans size?

[headtowall]

Kicking Mules, right? You've had those a while, if I remember correctly. Any fading?

I see a little on the thigh area, but not much going on in the creases.

[PG2G]

Those are actually PBJ AI-001. The Kicking Mule's started to do some pretty decent fading, I posted them a month or two ago in this thread.

Not much color loss, but I think the texture change in the worn in areas is pretty unique. Don't think I've seen anything like that in the other slubby jeans shown after wear. And yes, that is me trying to convince myself that there is actually some wear

Maybe they aren't stubborn, but I just bitch a lot

How many sizes did you size down from your normal waist? I like the fit on those.

[sam113]

It's an 85cm belt worn with 30/32 RRDS.

[sam113]

These are actually not sized down.

They are 30s, and I am a 29 waist.

When I got them I was a 30- If I got the same jean now I would get a 28.

[erbs]

Nice RRDS Sam- they fit exactly like mine, knee bulges and all. I hope mine look this good in a year or so.
