I guess it's a new rule...

[Conifurious]

You've put some good wear into those, Conifurious. What sort of stuff do you do in them?

Heh, in truth? Marching Band at college. And lots of it. And as of now, these are my only jeans so I'll be sticking with them for a good while. Thanks for the comments guys.

[opethrapture]

Looking awesome Knugget!

Here are my postwash pics for my 007's

Here they are:

Hot wash with detergent, and a 10 min tumble dry when they were damp.

i like how the paint is coming off the button slowly.

cabl3 - love the contrast on those pbj's

[mr.invincible]

Hello

here is a small update. I guess these pics are pretty close to the actual color. It is pretty gloomy right now. Pretty dull considering I ride my bike everyday to school; hopefully these will turn out better.

FH3001:size 29

5/6 months of wear

2 soaks

1 full wash

SC_Okinawas: size 28

5/6 Months of Wear

2 Soaks

Should I wash these?

Happily Together

Sorry for the many big pics. Hopefully these are noteworthy to be in the evolution thread.

[chinaman_6]

I wouldn't wash those sugarcanes yet. Give them a few months more, unless you can't handle the smell anymore.

[mr.invincible]

they don't smell bad, but they have stretched out.

[daveo]

A hot soak would shrink them back without a lot of indigo loss...

[twistedtrees]

Pre-wash Samurai s5000vx's. about a 1.5 years old, but they are worn off and on for months-long stretches, alternating between other jeans. About 3? washes I think, today was the 4th. They're drying now.

[grouse_allergy]

Those sams are looking mighty good. They have a great color balance. And fading, too. Not overly contrasted but just right. Your whiskers have a lot of confidence, I wanna say.

[40ozprophet]

Gah. great jeans on that page.

Cabl3: The PBJs look incredible, always good to see updates on those.

Invincible: hold off on washing! hot soak if they are too large

Twisted trees: Beautiful Sams! any construction issues at all?

[twistedtrees]

Thanks, no construction problems at all, just normal wear. I think the knees are getting a lot thinner than the rest of the jeans, but they'll be alright.

[salaami]

i love starting new rules...

almostnice: interesting how your arc are holding strong

skistar: i love when poly-core thead breaks. viva cotton thread! nice wear, btw

knugget/twisted trees: nice sams

lawls: dont noob yourself out and post in the evo thread after 25-50 wears unless you wear them everyday on some kind of 'dirty-job'. patience, son

mr. invincible: please dont take my comment to offense, but if you would relegate yourself to one pair, you'd see more results. flat heads aren't very stubborn fade-wise. you've got enough denim to last for @least 2 years worth of projects. beat those fuckers in!!!

[skistar]

ya... screw poly-core!

they were advertising that it was suppose to be what... 50% stronger than cotton? I've never had a problem with cotton tread and i'm sure I'll bust every seam on the FH's by the time I'm done with them!

mr invincible: don't wash.... you'll regret it!

cabl3, coni, knugget, and those other sammies: all your jeans are looking bad-ass, keep it up!

[mr.invincible]

to disregard everyone's comments(because I didn't read it before), I hot washed the jeans with little detergent in permanent press mode and was put into the dryer for 40 minutes. Now my whiskers and combs are gone..

gah, i shouldve read this before. It's ok, at least the size went back down and it smells great. I am going to wear these to snowboarding tomorrow.

thanks for all the comments
