I like the fading on the back pockets, is that from lining?

Evis 2101's LHT 1.5 years handful of washes

 

[robbeec]

been a very long time since i visited but i thought i'd share. i went through the focused denim watching and wearing and around last year sometime decided it was time to stop buying new raw (hard i know) and just  consolidate the pairs i had and get some wear. suffice to say i'll probably be rocking these for a few more years and you might see another jump out of the blue.

 

not nearly as great as some but i've given it a good shot each pair still has plenty of life i'd say. i think the most worn pair has only seen 4 washes.

 

L-R 

 

Samurai 701 19oz from my trip to Hinoya probably about 4years old 4 washes i think

Samurai x BiG 701 17oz 1.5 years old 1 wash 

For the Homies (Australian Label) purple selvedge probably about 3.5 years old 3 washes

For the Homies (Australian Label) white selvedge probablut about 2.5 years old

APC Petite Standard 3 years old 3 washes

APC x Supreme PS bought the same time as the samurai's from Hinoya so about 4 years old 

Edwin Ed-55 Red Selvedge (my first pair of raw denim and when they did a selvedge i snapped it) 1 yr old 1 wash.  

 

almost all have seen a crotch reinforcement or rip plus hemming. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

should take some front snaps but oh well!

 

7 pairs for life perhaps? 

 

[morse9443]

Until gravity takes over. Might eventually have to install elastic in the waistbands. Great evo though!

[khez]

my samurai 710s after 2 years and 3 months. haven't really rocked them since i got my iron heart 301s last august.

 

[Max Power]

Love that 710 BIG and the 710 above - you rarely see that much roping on Samurais. Do you recall how often you washed these?

Ooe Yofuketen 9102

[morse9443]

710's bought in 2008, worn on and off since then and washed god knows how many times. Officially retired. Any market for these things or should I burn them?

 

 

[Flash]

if they still fit get them fixed up and wear them , great looking jeans

[Maynard Friedman]

Send them to Ruedi's jeans museum in Switzerland!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Give them to me and I claim that I have worn-in jeans

No seriously, before you trash them give them to Ruedi!

Ha thanks. I was repairing them so constantly I just got sick of it. Breaking in some Black Shadows for the past few months and have fresh pairs of S0500 and 1108XX ready to go in the drawer.

[morse9443]

haha BF, just pick one damn pair to wear for a while!!

 

What does he do with them? I'm scared to ask how much shipping is to Switzerland..

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I bet he will take care of the shipping costs. He will store them and exhibit them in his museum

not too much goin on, but more than i would've expected in the short while i've had them. cheers

[CMCiA]

I shipped stuff to Reudi before from Canada and it came up to $15 so that's not bad to begin with. Plus Reudi offers to cover costs as well.

Jeans I got back from a client to redo some taping after 2 years of heavy wear around 4-5 days per week.
