The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

[indigo_junkie]

Thanks guys.

They were my first jeans out of highschool. When I was a poor-ass uni student, I wore them every day for five years straight and then alternated them with 15oz moleskins. After about two years of that, I switched over to moleskins full time. I only just started wearing jeans again late last year. The best fades come with time and patience, IMHO.

Re the crotch of the Imperials:I reckon it is definitely slightly oversized, but seems to look good actually. I think cult makes a good point, large crotch makes the jeans look slimmer.

Whodini - here are some photos of how the A-505s turned out after about 6 months wear 5 days a week, a couple of machine washes...the pics are pretty close to the actual colour of the jeans. Overall, I thought they faded well, except very little definition on the honey-combs at the back. But the overall fade in the denim is quite nice.

How did your's turn out? I haven't seen any photos of them for about 6 months.

I digged deep in there today?

505's huh? are those selvage?

cross post from Eternal thread, just some detail pics of the jeans on the last page.

^ Thats not a cellphone in the coin pocket, is it? I don't understand how anyone's cell phone fits into those things!!

Btw your eternals are fading very very nicely!

^^must resist...........must resist............

[Egpt]

looks like a zippo lighter to me on the coin pocket

[watchman]

It is. Hence, my sig

[choice_genes]

yo ralff - nah they're not selvedge. But cut-wise they are probably my favourite pair of jeans. I have a feeling the current LVC 505s are pretty similar, except maybe a little higher waisted. And they are selvedge. So check it.

[BrokenGlass]

lol dick showing some restraint. . . I'm a little surprised.

My rag & bones coin pocket is large enough for my cell phone, thats where I keep it too.

[sweetmofo]

ahh damn it! just found out that my cell phone fits into my imperial dukes too.

should have kept them there from day 1.

then i wouldnt have the rather undesirable cell phone fade.

hmmm maybe jeans retailers should add it under one of their measurements.

i can imagine 'Pre-soak Coin Pocket Width - 3 inches'

Poly has the hip bulge gone down on your Sams after washing?

I had a huge problem with this when I first got mine and a wash and dry later they're perfect.

Cross-posted in the Iron Heart thread. Here are my Iron Hearts at 4 months of wear.

Forgive the poor picture quality. I'll take better ones once I find my Canon.

Sam conest, 6 months..

[Cali]

God I hope my Sams look like that in a few months.

Uhh okay, first post here at superfuture now... these are my Nudie Straight sven dry selvedge, I have worn them for about 3.5 months now, pictures taken about 1-2 weeks ago, starting to come along nicely, but I will soon be making a little break with these since I have a pair of LVC 505 '67's coming soon

bonus picture :D:D

[Bobbejaan]

they look good wtihout the stitching

[khaltire]

look good, but thats some serious diaper ass

[joey_formal]

svens are looking pretty nice, i agree much better with out stitching.

[mortimer]

Here's my SDA 103 after 8 months, worn most days, washed 3 times...

...and a picture in natural light that shows the actual colour of the jeans

[joey_formal]

those SDAs are incredible

[deadpan]

Yeah agreed...8 months, when was the first wash?

[mortimer]

First wash was after six months. I think I probably could have washed them sooner though - they've lost hardly any indigo so far

[BodiesOfLight]

My Acne Moc Raw.

Before

After

These look fucking awesome.

[erbs]

The SDA's look great. Every time I see a pair of faded 103's I tell myself that I really need to get a pair, but other jeans always get in the way. Next time...

[beatle]

Some really nice examples for evolution...

[Leopold]

Thanks for all the good comments, I took some new photos just a minute ago, so here's what they look like today

Compare them how they looked like when they were new :eek:
