Dedicated work jeans, post wash. PBJ-007

I've been wearing these since the beginning of the year and gave them the first wash over the weekend(had a few soaks before). These are going to be getting dirty faster as the weather warms up and will see washing more often.

Levis 646 NOS-

6 1/2 to 7 months. No wash yet and I could go longer without one. Let me know what you think... they just recently got very dirty with longboarding and yardwork.

I don't sorry... but they're so light because they are new old stock from the late 70s and the dry denim was in lighter shades.

[dralfonzo]

nate those flat heads are fucking amazing. +rep

klue, they're looking great, crazy evo after only a month but I know that your a crazy tree climbing superhuman. I'd love to see those after a year

Word?? What the hell did you do to get stacks that intense so quickly...we're talking about maximum 28 days here...very impressive

[bill]

heavy wear + 2 washes

[klue]

a lot of the bottom fades came through after doing stonework in a river

[selaviso]

i think they look a lot better after this wash too

[Stacks]

That's a pretty serious reinforcement at only 1 month...I wonder how much of the original denim will be left by the time the contest is over.

I gotta give credit where credit is due, however. I definitely wouldn't want all (or even most) of my jeans that ragged even if it does fade them fast but I think I'll be giving the 24oz sammies the Klue Krew treatment (sans paint and peacockin' action shots).

24oz sammies

Here are my Red-D's at about a year. No hemming as I'm 6'4''. Colors are a bit off in pics, but I was impressed at how much color they kept in the areas that didn't get much wear. LOVE these jeans.

PRE WASH

POST WASH @ 1 year

[beatle]

The crotch repair is outstanding...

[vamks]

^can only hope my contest pair turns out half as good as that

[stewiegriffin]

@vamks: more pics please

[Florian.FloC]

x-post from SDA thread:

Pair from a friend, will update on the model later today

6 months, initial soak, no subsequent soaks/washes

I really like how crispy the fades on these are, very clear and sharp lines...(apologize for butchering the light on the first shot so badly)

[cheep]

some pics i found... sugarcane okinawas... a bunch of months and i dont know how many washes.

better pics when they look better

[erk]

LVC 1947s at about 14 months. I dont remember how many washes, I think around 5 (usually hand wash)

after about 6 months they were rotated with a new pair of 47s. they are now in rotation with 1937s and s5000vx. So they've been getting medium to light wear. they are developing new holes in the crotch which I need to address before I wear them again.

Some beautiful denim on this page...+rep all round...
