Here are my RRDS 9.5 months 3 washes now retired...sorry if the post is too lengthy, will cut it down if needed.

I started these ralfs late march 07 and washed them for the third time on 01/01/08.

6.5 months first wash

8.5 months second wash

9.5 months third wash

Some shots of me wearing them after the third wash:

cheap monday 'regular alive n' dry', worn everyday since september 14,2007 except for 6 or 7 days. haven't been washed yet.

I love these so far, they're just not fading as much as I'd hoped.

I know that the cool thing is to hate on Nudie, but they sure as hell can look incredible when worn out.

[heflys]

Indeed, just wish there was more diversity. Can't hate on those fades though.

I've been wearing mine since July, and no fades to speak of. It's the flatwoven light weight thread used to weave the denim. It's basically dyed all the way through instead of with a white core. The black dye also doesn't come out as easy as indigo.

Don't expect much outta these.

hmm yeah I remember hearing something about these not being "real" raw denim. oh well they fit like a glove and can't be beat for the price.

I wouldn't retire them completely. They look great and need to be worn.

Long time no post.

I washed my samurai 710 yesterday and decided to post some pics.

I´ve had these for around 8 months. They have been hand washed maybe 5 times and machine washed 2 times. I am sorry for the time stamp on the pictures.

This is the backside of my belt. It´s almost completely blue.

[tmadd]

Nice, those are looking great!

[cabl3]

those 710s look sweet...that's some hardcore bleeding right there.

ahh I know they could look much better if I gave them say a few more months and washes....but at this point Im just too anxious to get started on other, better jeans

I'll still wear them on occasion for years to come and wash them accordingly...the greatest damage has been done though.

My 45 rpm Sorahikos. Bought em almost exactly a year ago, but had em in rotation barely getting any attention until a june, But that's unneeded information. A couple of soaks but apparently 45 rpm washes them when you repair them so the count gets a little complicated, since they have been repaired by 45 a LOT.

This is the closest representation of the color. You could see how light it is compare to the raw-ish sugarcane denim jacket.

Samurai 510xx. Started sometime in March, worn on and off. First pic contrast adjusted to show (somewhat) true color. It just keeps coming out too light.

[apocalypse later]

Primed, your jeans fit awful. That's why you don't have decent whiskers.

[Klaas]

My Eternals at 2 months. Just starting to fade........

[RobZ]

Can't wait to see what they look like in a few months Klaas.

Yes, the seat on those jeans looks absolutely terrible. They look like they were bought a few sizes too big, then tapered and hemmed.

What model are they?

[ron2331]
