s710xx 19oz at ~4-5 mon nonstop

no editing or any other funny business, pictures w/car are prolly the best representation of the color.

i wish i could man, i have to lose weight first. theyre my motivation, i love those jeans, but i cant even fit in them properly at the moment :[

I guess that just goes to show you how much lighting makes a difference in your pictures. These are definitely beautiful jeans and only getting better with time, but they need a bright sunny day or a decent flash to really bring out all the different tones of blue. Maybe one day we'll get a cloudless day here in Seattle and I'll think of taking more pictures. Thanks to all the comments though. Your praise gives me strength to keep going! ...cuz damn, some Eternals sound really nice right about now

i like how the black arcs on the 710xx start to show more as the denim fades

[dino might]

yeah i like that a lot

I know what your saying, once these things get a little too tight, they are almost impossible to wear.. Well, i hope you get the wear in on those, as they already look great..

+1 on the black arcs comment, very nice detail.

my crate james the third, one machine wash after approx 5 months of wear, pictures taken in direct sunlight, no added contrast, no photoshop filters:

^ i dont have initial wear pictures, but you can see a little bit how the color looked when starting out. they were much like these: http://www.revolveclothing.com/DisplayProduct.jsp?product=CRAT-MJ3&c=Crate&d=b

this last picture is the most indicative of the actual color:

[mellowbonsai]

btw: these crates took a damn good beating when i worked on the ship for 3 months and wore them almost every day.

i dont know if the broken twill process has much to do with the durability of the denim, but the wear on the heels is the only significant damage. no buttons popping, no stitches anywhere else falling out or breaking, no crotch blowout, etc.

[ktouran6923]

you beat the shit out of those. I love it. great job

[watchman]

wow those got punished. what were you doing on a ship?

[Bona Drag]

crate gets zero love around here, but those look pretty fuckin good

nice job

[jubei]

imagine if those had been eternals...

[Bona Drag]

troof

not saying crate is anywhere near the level of most repro stuff, but it's an interesting change of pace

i espec love that shade of blue around the crotch and inside upper thigh

(cross posted from the Skull thread)

So I have about 4 months of wear on my Skull 5010xx. They're still pretty dark since I wash them every month, but on the plus side I haven't had any serious thread problems. Recently, one of the corners came lose on my pocket (wallet got snagged) and I thought it was a good opportunity to take some close up pics of the part of our jeans we rarely get to see.

Before the rip.

From the inside. Notice the hidden rivet and the tinytinytiny remnant of the red tab

Honeycombs, no photoediting, just direct sunlight

I'll post non-closeups when things get interesting.

[mellowbonsai]

wow those got punished. what were you doing on a ship?

living on it, sailing it, fixing it all the time, lots of painting, sanding, climbing. youre just moving around all day when you work/live on a tallship. 12 hour work days, 7 days a week.
