these belong in the imaginary superdenim holy grail department. I thought everyone else from the WH contest was getting vintage fades until I saw these.

I think you would have had better luck winning the contest if you had snapped the pictures at 7 or 8 months in...you really just clobbered those, and by the looks of things you washed them a lot. I am impressed to see a pair of jeans so utterly destroyed even if the result wasn't necessarily the superfuture ideal look for a faded pair of jeans...what did you do that destroyed these to this extent?

Some of the best ever - such a refreshing change from the usual on here - nice stuff.

LVC47s after a year of everyday wear, first wash, but i dont sharpen knives on my thighs or on the backs of my knees. I cant believe how beautiful the colour is in person after the first wash, very little visible wear, even though i have worn a hole through the crotch

checkout that seam twist, retarded

Looks like you could get at least 5 years out of those 47s...those are the beginning of something beautiful.

Some very nice stuff popping up over the last few pages...

Here's my Levis A-type 606's....going into hibernation for the next 4-5 months as the denim is too lightweight for Canadian winters (12.5 oz?)...

Actual colour is somewhere in between the two pics...

...roughly 9 months of wear on rotation - 1 soak, 2 washes if i recall

fatbaldmen, i love the destruction, the totally irreverent repair-stitch style, and the truly vintage fade. ive got to repost my sams next week i washed them in the machine after the i got some fullcounts, and all kinds of new holes and such just popped out. welcome to the destroyed jeans club. thats how jeans are worn!!!

breakfasteatre, if you'd put the wear of the STFs into the 47's, you'd really be onto some shit...

Wierd light today in NYC, will try and get some better ones of these when it's sunnier. I think it's going to snow! Photos not adjusted in any way...

Lots of people posting S5000VX so I figured I'd show mine. I got them last summer. Washed every 2-8 weeks (depending on how dirty they got) and I didnt really track the number of washes. I will keep wearing these but they'd need their 3rd set of repairs before I can wear them to work which means they'll be weekend jeans only from now on. I really like where they are now...
