^you mean the selvage line?

[rockon99]

yup. 10char

[erbs]

Poly, those are still my favorite jeans; perfect vintage fade.

Could you post a close-up of the hem roping?

[Superstar]

arc fading on USA sammies, enjoy!

[enojy]

maybe a dumb question and it probably belongs in the pbj thread whatever.. - but if the warp and weft fibers are indigo on the 007, why is the edge of the denim white?

edit: just posted in pbj thread as well

selvage is a phonetic for "self edge;" the line on selvage denim is added manually in the rolling process and isn't the same material as the denim itself.

The warp and weft threads are dyed prior to the denim being woven together and when the outside edge fiber is to be added to the bolt the white cotton fiber is introduced along with the red (or whatever color selvedge you want) fiber.

coss posted with skull jeans thread

Skullz 5010 6x6 OW - after 10 months of continous wear , about 5 hot machine washes

[M.O.A]

are everyone's skull jeans falling apart still?

[midnight]

Those are some really nice 007's. Can't wait for mine to start showing some more wear. The arcs on those sammies are starting to look great too!

[Leeacto]

Ralf Greycast. first pair of raws. 1 wash. about 7 months of actual wear

[thatslapz]

Here are my 501 STF's. I picked them up on sale for 30 bucks. I have had them for four months and wore them about 15 weeks (got way too hot for jeans). They have seen about 3 miles of biking everyday and wear and tear at my university's machine shop plus random abuse.

I did an initial hot soak + dryer when I got them to shrink them all the way. I just did a cold soak, but these pictures are pre-cold soak.

[BBC]

Levi's, USA Sams and Skulls are all dope!

[jyoni]

wow, those combs are nice, thatslapz.

*edit

I notice ours both have the same vertical crease down the rear left leg.

[Elxys]

very nice samurai s500xx you've got there Poly

i know what selvage is......

i wasnt sure though, if the white thread was added after the ream of denim fabric was done, or if, for some reason it was just undyed weft.

when i've looked at pictures it isnt a single stitch, its covering the exposed selvage weft area i guess. .. definately thinkin of gettin a pair, so i was just curious since i had never seen a close-up - thanks

[xeLph]

skulls 5010xx 6x6 raw

139days no wash no soak

[thatslapz]

Those are awesome xelph. I've been looking for my next pair and I'm stuck between imperials, samurais, flat heads, and sugar canes lol. But those definitely make me lean in a certain direction.

EDIT: wow totally thought those were samurais. sorry for the noob mistake.

[JAY-T]

My Nudie RRDS after 7,5 months, and two soaks (no wash)

this struck me as "shoutouts/introduction in a rap song" for some reason.

hell naw! well, maybe just a bit. pretty minor stuff. i quit wearing them hard after 4-5 months and the random thread breaks seemed to have stopped.

[dave023]

Sun is shining today, so I thought I'd try to make some better pics...don't know if I really did...

Still circa 3 months of wear

Beauty of the denim...

Denime really has some nice denim...

[Mich]

^ Great vintage looking fading Dave, you simply have to love the way Denime's fade!

[edmond]

some guy from china denime XX type

[meta]

come and ride the train

[EdenResident]

meta, what's the third one from the left?

[midnight]

I like how you lined them all up by the combs. It looks cool. You should put up some more detailed pics as time goes on.

[meta]

#2 and #3 are APC New Standards at different times in their life cycle.

[opethrapture]

Oh sweet lord that's a well worn collection!! +Rep
