xposted from Oni thread...

Oni Blues close to 6 months of wear. Worn almost every day, rain or shine. 1 hot soak at beginning. 1st wash on 9/23. Started wear 4/6. Looking good so far. Fading starting to quicken after first wash! My cousin holding em up in Sammies...

[salaami]

I am horrible with a camera, but here goes...

point and shoot + 'autofix' on photobucket:

[selaviso]

wish the pictures werent so blurry but from the look of it they are fading pretty nice.

Edwin Nashvilles -- Nine months of wear, washed once after about six months. A few repairs around the crotch area made with indigo threads plucked from a raw offcut...seems to work fairly well if you can nip the rips in the bud, but it's a bit time-consuming.

[Florian.FloC]

what do you have going on in the coin pocket? these are very pretty

[mondo]

I always keep my keys in coin pockets. Money goes in the front pockets, cards go in a small leather holder responsible for the fade on the back right pocket.

[Caddrel]

I might wash these again soon, but here are some fit pics. Skull 6x6 true to size 30. The color is a little off in both pictures.

When first bought

After about 11 months of wear and 2 washes

[thaiison]

damn caddrell they look dope. sorry can't rep...

[lenn]

^ repped him for you

those skulls look amazing, and so do the oni's... the blue on the edwins looks a bit unnatural, but nice fades none the less

[mondo]

yeah, with the Edwins there's some variation in the lighting conditions. Funnily enough, the "unnatural" saturated blue colour is probably the more accurate. When I washed them the water was cornflower blue instead of the usual murky green/brown. Those terracotta tiles probably make the blue jump out a bit more, too.

[headtowall]

Edwins always look good. Weird that they aren't more popular here.

[grouse_allergy]

mondo, nice edwins. I think the color looks great. I like how vibrant they are.

Also, where's the belt from?

Caddrel, I'm a little confused comparing the initial pic with the current pic. In the second pic you have a lot of stacking, but in the first one it's barely any. Where'd it come from? It doesn't look like you're sagging them much differently, and it's not like you're wearing chunky shoes to boost them up.

btw, not harping, just curious. They look dope.

Im not sure but the denim softened up so it falls more? Thats my guess :confused:

[maenterus]

edwins and skulls are very nice..

Which online store carries nashvilles ?

[Caddrel]

Comparing the two you can see that the stacking is more spread out in the early pic, because of the stiffer denim. Right now there's a good amount of stacking but its settled down closer to the feet. Also the shoes are hightops, and make a pretty big difference vs barefoot.

[nemoulette]

Fucking sweet Nashvilles. I got too fat for mine, gave them to my GF.

[Guest ILeftMyWalletInElSegundo]

Bad Pictures, but im sure people can still see the beauty

Hey, Caddrel, how'd you wash the skullies?

[jackers]

umm, me. it was the ocean wash experiment so i thought i'd include some pictures of what i did.

Evilcrayon is a gangsta. nice dukes see you around school?

[poly800rock]

seriously, edwin fades are just remakable. one of the best fading jeans i have EVER seen. very unique and understated in the best of ways

Earnest Sewn Kyrre Overdye, haven't really recorded how long i've worn them for, they've turned out fairly well though, i think i've washed them twice

[Tekrah70]

mondo

Those Edwins are really rather special. Nice

[robbie]

Rather bored so i thought i'd share my 517's too

Bought exactly one year ago.

Washed/soaked several times as these were my work jeans from October to very early January of 08'.

Worn quite a bit less now that I am working on my 5o3's and 5o1s.

forgive my adjustments. I am just trying to adjust to paint the best picture, my photography and editing skills suck.

517 28-32

10/3/07-10/4/08

atleast 8 machine washes

15-20 soaks

though i always hang dry, i've machine washed the too many times for any real 'combs

[chambo2008]

those flat head look sick!!!!

[M.O.A]

except for the horrible cell phone fade...
