The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

[Cameland]

wow a lot of nudies on this page. Guess ill be adding my RRDS there.

1 week

2 or 3 months wear.

Washed Cold at around 3 or 4 months.

Right now at around 5 months but im not really sure because ive worn these with my other projects at the same time although my Ralfs always get the most wears.

Oh and heres a picture of the back if anyone wants to see that. I've got a really flat wallet so my wallet fade kinda sucks.

[Whodinihimself]

Thats some clean crotch reinforcement you have there ... I'm thinking about reinforcing some of my jeans in a similar way...did you use those raw jean swatches you can get at Walmart for that?

Coming along quite nicely...some nice subtle vertical fading there

After

those are hot, they look natural as hell. very authentic fade.

i agree, as much as the wear part. it seems to me that the "best wear=most wear". i would be inclined to wear a pair of onis or sams more because they are better overall. once i got some sams, my nudies are for wash days, which obviously arent that often. im a bit ocd, so if it doesnt have hidden rivets, or other throwback details, i cant rock em.

:confused:

i dont see best wear=most wear. i think the entire process shows, and i perfer to see jeans that were well loved... the ones that you can tell the owner cared... and wore because of the jeans not because of the fading. starch makes for more wear, as does not washing even if your jeans have piss and puke and shit on them, but i dont feel that it gives the best fading.

I have no idea to be honest, I brought them to Grant Cleaner in SF and they patched it up for me... only cost me like $10 or $15...

Samurai 510wx from the Self Edge x Superfuture party. Soaked one week after. I liked the ass and upper thigh fit, weight and details on them so I got them tapered after about 2 weeks of wear + stretching.

Before tapering:

After tapering + wear:

The belt is Levis. The leahtergoodsconnection keychain loop screw fell out so I use a carabiner clip now.

The wallet is from leathergoodsconnection.com

The bottom arc started coming undone + a fat line from the wallet.

I usually stick my hands in my backpockets when I'm bored, any tips on repairing this?

[cheapmuthafukr]

my pocket ripped in the same place from skating. i just took a needle and thread and basicly did what looks like a bartack... of course mine sint a clean tear like that... lots of weft all over so you cant see the repair... otherwise id show pics.

mmm that picture doesnt do your jeans justice kerni. you need a better picture!

[jo3 b]

approx 6-7 months of everyday wear with about 2 soaks and 2 machine washes.

sorry for the minimal pics but the color is pretty spot on.

since retired for eternal 811

[hoodsuburbia]

dope apcs!

[hysteric]

those APC's look great, 3 month intervals on washes?

[youreit]

so this is where you are eh mikey, i need a new NT name, any spares?

[justinbaily21]

Those are some beautiful APCs!

[poopslush]

Here you go. Most recent pics I have of fit. I really do wish I'd gone a size or two up, but the snugness has helped with defined creases I'm sure.

Nice jeans, nice CW shirt.

I saw them a few weeks ago here in Richmond.

[Naero]

yea can we get some details on the "washing" for those APCs up there? look great!

Here are some 5EP Low Down Boot Resin jeans that I have had for around 13 months. They have around 9 months of wear into them. These photos are after the 6th wash with Dr. Bronner's. In reality, the jeans are darker and have more of a greenish hue to them, but my Nikon refuses to capture that.

[cultpop 0217]

nice and subtle ^^

[jonnyheadphones]

5000bk's

7 1/2 months (5 1/2 months of actual wear)

there wasn't any special method for washing with my pair. i wore them to work at a bakery for a couple of months, then quit and continued wearing them around whereever i went.

the soakes included water and nothing else, the washes included sometimes hot water sometimes cold, sometimes detergent and others not.

i didn't try and take care of these in anyway other than the cuff area due to high wear areas ripping.

[calvinxkaws]

^nice work. Are they new cure? How many size did u go down?

[dave023]

nice job on the S5000BK!!!

[jo3 b]

i actually didnt size down and im typically a 30 and i purchased a 30.

they are NS not cures.

[M.O.A]

i need to take some pics of my diors, i did a full wash and tumble dry cycle about two weeks ago.

[BrokenGlass]
