your jeans look good...but are your legs different sizes?

no hate, but your fadez are fucking weird.

^CJ's pic looks like it's two different jeans. FH on left, Sams on right?

[opethrapture]

Might look weird cause there are 2 different jeans in the pic..

hey, forgot to ask you in the other thread, but did your zippers give you any problems post soak? Do they zip all the way

they zip up fine. dont play with the lock though it wears down and doesnt lock as well. i find my button unzipped sometimes but idc i leave my junk out

My BKs, Sz 29, 1 wash at 11 months.

These pics were only resized in photoshop, idk how to mess with any of the colors/contrast..

[branespload]

The first pic is MOST ACCURATE in color

[CJsmalls]

Here they are a day after their 7th wash. The pics were taken during the afternoon in the shade. They are lying flat without any creases set. Sadly, they've shrunk up a bit too much in the waist to be comfortable anymore:(

I'll wear em on days when I feel skinny.

Thanks to pruple for taking the pics for me

Pretty ghetto back pocket repair. The Redmoon was chewing it's way through the back pocket and I didn't want the silver concho on the wallet to get gashed up...but didn't have any spare denim so found this material lying around and decided I had to use it

The copper button corroded and rubbed off on the denim, leaving a mark above and below the button hole that's the same color as the statue of liberty

And for fun, here they are when I first got them/soaked them in Japan, I was so amused that they could stand on their own. I showed the family I was staying with and they couldn't believe it, haha, they took more pictures than I did

[beatle]

just a pic..wh660 - 3 washes

[Biff15]

...great pics on this page... good job, everyone...

[pruple]

Not sure if any of you remember, but CJsmalls and I had sort of a mini contest going on, except it was cross brands, just for fun.

Anyways it officially ended today. It started on the 27th of April 2008. Both pairs got about the same amount of wear, given that we both share similar mellow lifestyles. Also just about the same amount of washes, just with different intervals.

Sams 0500 vs SExFH05 (1 year of ownership, 7/8 washes each)

As some of you have already figured out... Weird hybrid pics, half sam half FH mindfck.

[CJsmalls]

And here are the rest of the pics

I'll also add these both got too small for us, the last couple months were bad. I don't think we gained weight though...weird

[aho]

Wish I could plus rep both of you guys again, great work! Really surprised at how similar they came out...and jealous that I don't have any friends who'd be willing to go through the same process. Ah well, I guess I have the SExDBxS09 haha

[CJsmalls]

haha thanks aho, yeah i have to say it was pruple who showed me what was up in the whole raw denim world about 2 years ago. I did get some evisu's back in 2005 for their quality and painted gulls but didn't know about the whole fading aspect at the time.

but yeah, none of the others in our circle of friends are down for not washing their jeans lol

ps, thanks for all the nice comments from everyone about both of our jeans throughout the year

[danisfake]

beautiful jeans to the both of you!

[duck sauce]

were they both washed with the same conditions? the sams look like they held their color a bit better

edit: ah my mistake i thought sams were on the left

[pruple]

Nah, my first few washes were warm, while CJ washed in hot throughout. We also didn't wash the same time, just the same total of washes. If I remember correctly, he washed 1-2 times before I did.

It's a bit confusing but the FHs are on the left the first two pics. Then on the hybrid pics they're on the right.

[dillardiv]

Is there anything I can do to make sure all the creases form back where the whiskering fades are in my nudies? I just washed them and all of the creases are gone, so I'm starting fresh and i'm afraid they won't go back to the way they were and the jeans will start to fade weird.

[duck sauce]

@ dillhard use small questions thread and if they havn't shrunk much, they might if you wear normally

i gott check prev page out again then, too bad it takes 10 minutes to load....

[jmayhew]

Coming up on one year for my Dior MIJ's, had a rough night out this weekend:

[sayocean]

[danisfake]

I want to be first to ask.

what the hell happened?

edit: fail sayocean beat me to it.
