The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

[Ahlvahroe]

ok so these are the edwins i got for my cousin. (he did some laundry at my place so i snuck some pics) so this is how a non 'futurian fades a pair, worn and washed a couple times a week for over a year.

love the vertical falling on these, great denim.

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

are these LVC or some NOS 517s from the 70s?

I'm admittedly a bit out of my league.

Bought these Nudie Thin Finns (never again) when I knew next to nothing about denim.

Maybe a year of light wear, and 3-4 months of hard wear in a warehouse...

Two washes - washed them too early the first time, and the net result was a weaker pair of jeans overall. Colour is a bit dull in the first pics.

These are largely out of action b/c of the numerous crotch rips (thanks, Nudie).

edwins on the past page are really really nice

Nope, just basic red tabs I picked up at Ross for 12$.

[robbie]

Here are some better pics of my 503Bxx's. I think I might have posted some pics over on the LVC page, not 100%. Anyhow, I didn't have work today so I thought I'd head outside and take a few pics of them.

These aren't LVC, just a 2$ thrifted pair. Tagged size is 29-34, but they fit more like a 28/32. Most if not all of the fading was there when I bought them.

soaked once since purchase, no washes.

yeah, from a thrift store. I wasn't trying to show off work i'd done, just the jeans.

[grouse_allergy]

You look like Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

"dude your 12 year old sister is pretty hot for being a 12 year old"

[robbie]

"dude your 25 year old fiance is pretty hot ..."

better

and yeah, i get the joseph gordon levitt a lot. I wish he needed a stunt double or something so i could point to a movie and go 'hey thats me'.

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

for sure. except i have less classes than i want. i had my two core classes and now i'm taking auto tech and environmental biology. it's like taking pottery and woodshop in high school, except if you only took those two. it's super easy and stuff. also, my limping is gone.

no wonder you and your denimz have disappeared from the smoking area

[Osmosis Jones]

5 months, no wash. Was going to hot soak them today but the sun came out, so I decided to sun them instead. Took some pics for before, to compare with after a hot soak some other day.

you just convinced me on what to get for my next pair.

Oh my god, what a tacky side pouch. Do you store M&Ms in it? It and that lanyard match real well with your black belt.
