Those 1001's are solid.

[dralfonzo]

good few pages!

[ssheat]

Nice 1001s and 103s on these pages.

Well, these are my APCs. I've had them since late January and have been wearing them ~4 times a week. They've been hand washed with detergent whenever needed, probably 5-6 times by now.

My crotch blew out recently and quite a bit of the stitching came off, I restitched (repaired I guess) it.

[calvinouch]

awesome 1001s on prev page

[Flash]

those 103's are so nice

My S510XX AI-Ns at 355 days. Initial soak, 1 wash at 6 months, next wash in 10 days, expecting massive indigo loss in the faded areas, but who knows, natural indigo is stubborn as fuck.:

[who8mahrice]

That blue color on the Sams is lovely.

[salaami]

Salaami when are you going to show your washed 28 time Fullcounts?

lendo just invited me to another photo shoot, so im gonna try to get over there today to shoot some real quality pics.i couldn't stay away... i said i was on sufu hiatus, but that's like saying im not gonna fuck my wife for a month!(yeah,right). after seeing those SDAs&FH my jeans look like shit. when dude washes those nat.indigo sams, the contrast will be fucking epic. watch out!:eek:

Nate, how many washes and/or soaks??

thanks guys. no soaks. i waited til about 7 months to start washing them every month. but i ended washing them more often than that bc they got dirtier/smelly faster over summer. all in the machine with dr bronner's and line dried

[HighHopes]

Nudie RRDS, Almost 3 years old, but total just over a year of wear. 1st wash at 8 months, second wash after 5 more months of wear and a year and a half of sitting in a drawer.

Those Nudies are golden!!

Samurai 5000VX 21oz, probably 8 months on these. The top button popped off after awhile. I guess I sized down a little too much...

[rnrswitch]

Those things look munchkin sized. Is it the angle of the pic?

[chantheman]

do you mean 21oz? maybe its a brain fart but i didnt think 24oz were out for 8 months already or else time is flying by. looks good regardless

[bchhun]

oops, yes 21oz. i didn't roll down the cuffs, but they're about mid calf to avoid the chain oil on my bike.

S0500XX. i've had them for about 2 years. i don't wear them everyday. i just wear them when i feel like wearing them. they've been washed like 5 times.

[x-post from PBJ thread]

Forget the exact model, but they're pretty slim - maybe 005s or 008s? Earlier version in here and in PBJ thread.... back in Jan.

Worn maybe 40-50% of the time since late January of this year. Two or so warm soaks.

lvc 47s, maybe 3 months? at least as many washes.

obviously the color is fucked, but I didn't take the photo so i apologize and take no responsibility.

[andewhall]

Hey guys. Here are my Cougar XX-DI at 8 months, 3 machine washes. Will probably wash every couple of months now.

Roping.

Leather and hidden rivet damage.

Here's my 4,5 months old Ijin Material. I really love these jeans, too bad that I got a minor crotch blow out

Here's why Im not using these jeans anymore

[kit714]

tats not minor buddy....how did that even happen...

[Newman]

kit714: Lots of beers, a trampoline and some tight fitting jeans. Not the greatest combo maybe

It's slightly above minor, my new lvc 501 1966 is not that skinny, so hopefully they will live longer

[beautiful_FrEaK]

and they say Nudie isn't well construcetd...

they could be 24oz wouldn't matter, if you size down to much your asking for trouble, even more so when you use a trampoline !

[JediAce]

About 5 months, 2 soaks, 1 wash and still not that much fading haha.

Pre-Soak

Post-Soak

[Double D]

Ande Whall Raker V3s, 31 months, some soaks and washes and stuff. Still holding their indigo like nothing else.

[chambo2008]

good stuff!! keep on beating....

[mackie]

those rakers are great!

3 years of wear + awesome fades + no major visible holes/destruction on a tight fit like that = very impressive
