The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

[salaami]

of course it is. its not strange that the back of jeans takes the most abuse. with all cotton thread you'll have to constantly repair the jean in some places over the course of time. its part of the experience. or send them to big. they do external repairs.

APC raw black cures. I think its been a while since i posted an update on these, and i had someone PM me about them a few weeks ago asking how they were coming along.

[Hendodo]

cross over from sugar cane denim thread...

ok.. here are the photos and i think this is like 2-3 wash in about 16 months... this pair has had good life in africa, china, japan, as well as camping out in the forest/desert. this pair will hibernate for a year or so as i'm going to start wearing my SExDB09 pair soon.

^ oh boy.. I guess you've got nothing left to lose :\

[theupsmang]

slim jim dry japans. got em for $100 on black friday, been wearing em ever since so they're coming up on their 4 month pretty soon.

what do you think? i want to soak em but i'm not sure if I should yet...

[sayocean]

they're not ready dude...it says something when scotty2's 501s look more worn than your nudies. I'd say post back much later when you've actually washed them. SJDJ turn out pretty cool with intense 'electric' blue fades popping. You'll know when your ready

[BlueOctoberFan]

Not a lot of fading for dry japans at four months... I'd say hold off if you can.

[thaiison]

Fullcount evo...

looks like they could be straight from that denimbible-issue from lightning magazine.

great job beatle! loving the vintage-likin fade

[BlueOctoberFan]

Yeah, not a lot of fading for 4 month dry japans. Hold out as long as possible.

[aaronmetcalf]

at apples - only the original one wash...thinking about washing them at 8 or 9 months

[salaami]

scotty needs his ass whopped for posing here without parental consent. those nudies need a lot more wear before a wash. maybe a hot soak if they are stretched out.

[Hendodo]

X post from Flat Head thread

aprrx 3 months wear.

[lidsjoker]

jus did the first wash...

i need to pacth this rip...asap

but i love the way its coming out...no homo

[myclue]
