The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

[Guest]

been meaning to do a photo dump in this thread for a while, finally got around to taking pics today.

first up- Lee 101z, eight months of constant wear (biking, hiking, working in a bike shop, manual labor) but these are stubborn. the denim is suprisingly light, lighter than APC, maybe 11 ounce. they had one cold soak and one ocean soak and they smell awful so i am washing them later this week. the fade on the coin pocket is from a bottlecap.

next...Wrangler 936s, ten months old, worn hard for the first six (biking, working, bike shop, blah blah) and then not as often afterwards. these are tough fucking jeans, and cheap, too. washed five times. i know some people don't like the bright blue color that washed Wranglers fade to, but i think it's a nice contrast with the fades

next...i found these Levi's for a dollar at a college junk sale, in the condition they're in. orange tab. i have no idea what model but they're the shit. anybody have insight on the tag?

[Guest]

continuing from the last post since the image limit cut me off

last...APC new standards. i actually found these at goodwill, for three bucks, in pretty decent condition. they've become my everyday jeans for about two months now. i think they may have been washed, or soaked, previous to me buying them, because the pockets and all the non-denim cloth in the jeans are dark blue ink, i think...anyway.

Awesome goodwill find! They look good, too.

I just found a cheap pair of Lees at the goodwill today. Pretty nicely worn in. Will try to post pictures soon.

^^ Those Levi's are orange tab 517s (bootcut, but not bell bottom). Those are an excellent specimen of vintage Levi's. Someone could probably give you a better date, but I'd estimate that those are from the late 70s or so.

I just got these Lees at goodwill for $6. It's weird, I have another pair of Lees from goodwill, also 36x34, and yet these fit pretty well compared to the first pair I got, which has some diaper ass.

Are those APCs actually New Standards? Look like straight legs to me.

[M.O.A]

Why'd you take off the longhorns stitching? Didn't they hold up the half lining?

Why'd you take off the longhorns stitching? Didn't they hold up the half lining?

i bought them lightly used from someone off of styleforum. i would've preferred the stitching, but the previous owner didn't. i'd been wondering what the weird flap of extra fabric in the back pocket was- guess i know now.

Evisu No.1 Lot 2001, after a handful of months and two or three washes:

[YES]

about a year, a few washes

dont wear them much anymore, ripped the pocket stitching out a while ago

[grouse_allergy]

Hey, really nice. What are you wearing now? I mean, not right now this second, that'd be creepy. You know what I mean. Anyway, they look good. +rep

i like the fades on those nudies

[andreweezer]

Nice nudies, what model are they?

[YES]

thanks everyone, there long johns

[tjonow]

Nice stack fades!

[snuff_daddy]

people bash nudies here but those look nice

[↓ Is The New ↑]

People bash Nudies because compared to other denim that is in the same price range, the quality of Nudies isn't very good. They rip and fall apart quite quickly. No one is denying that they can fade well sometimes.

[enojy]

people just tend to bash nudies because they're old news and garnished a ton of attention. that's just what happens.

[↓ Is The New ↑]

^And that too. But I've said enough to shit up the thread.
