I'm only on day 6 but already the creases where the honeycombs and whiskers will come through.

im planning a wash or soak at 30 wears-the water will be navy blue, but I'll post pics of the combs etc

Jeans: Stevenson 727 

Worn for: 3.5 Years

Washes: 27

Repairs: 6

 

I’m finally retiring my Stevenson 727 jeans.  They have 3.5 years of constant wear, 27 machine washes, 6 repairs (at SESF, SEPDX, SELA, and I hand-repaired them twice while in Mexico).  I love these jeans, everything from the super functional curved rear pockets to the way every stitch and fold ages is pure perfection.  Retiring a pair of jeans that you’ve worn for almost 4 years is a rewarding experience.  Going into that new jean feels both jarring and exciting; for the first time I’m going from one jean to another and they’re both made of the same denim but with slightly different details and a different fit.  My next jean is Stevenson’s 714 Valencia model.

APC New Standards. Probably around 4-5 years old I'm assuming? I haven't worn them in a long time, but I pulled them out of the closet today and thought they looked nice, so I took a photo. I'll probably see why I haven't worn them in so long when I try them on later.

Here's my Stevenson overall Santa Rosa 767 after around 2 years (1 year and a half of actual wear), around 10 wash and 3 soaks. Those have been twice in America hiking around and round-tripping', Canary Island and Sri Lanka for surf trips and many other adventures. Thanks to chicote for making me discover the brand when we first met in S.F.

The first two pictures show the evolution taken at around 4 month 2 soaks, just before the first wash.

This is an old pair worn heavily from 2010-2014. I don't get to wear denim too frequently anymore, and when I do I am putting in more time into my samurai's and flatheads now, but I still really like this pair and they have a lot of life left in em.

5010xx texas cotton, sz 33. Hemmed to 31". Washed around 6 times iirc.
