this page is killer. stuvoxx i will rep when i can, out of +rep. cheep, i like what you said. if you buy just about any raw denim and wear it consistently, it will look good. i basically live in lowes and home depot, and i could stand by the door all day and get good evo pics of contractors wal-mart jeans. i see dope shit all the time.

[cheapmuthafukr]

yeah... i build bridges, and i know no one out here has RAWSELVAGEDENIMOMGZ... (tho there is one superintendant who wears heavy twill workshirts with a selvage collar)... but the fades would get mad rep on sufu.

no honey combs tho... i guess those come with not washing.

Giving my 007's a break for awhile. More pics in the PBJ thread.

farmer, those XX-007's look better each time you post them!

I think it has to do with fit. I had a pair of slim Levi's years ago that combed up even though I washed 'em every other week or so. I wore the ever living hell out of my jeans back then though, six miles or so a day to school and back plus being a kid.

Doing stuff that involves bending the knees a lot helps too.

APC PS, four or five months, no soaks/washes

Yes and no.

cmf is right.

Fit does determine the combs, but they fall out when jeans are washed more often.

i know not really a lot of fading for 2 years of rotational wear, but im enjoying the ride

[Alex3000]

Epic, those have such a nice shade of blue to them.

[almostnice]

you know that is some serious wear for a rotated pair!

+rep.

i was rotating with a pair of tasukis that i sold after 6 moths a pair of okinawas that i sold after about 4 month a pair of jins that i had for about 6 month and now im rotating with some 0500s that im keeping. kinda wish i wore them straight since i have no other pairs to show any fading on.

i like the slow process and since these have gone to cota rica australia new zealand and to lambeau field, they are turning into my traveling jeans and thus have a lot of sentimental good times in them. i like that they are breaking in slowly

[almostnice]

for that amount of wear they look awesome,not to mention they have been around the world!

[Plalai04]

My ALD Prescott Selvage

11 months , 1 sea soak , 2 washed

[dralfonzo]

nice to see some ALD in here, +rep

[Medine]

is there no coin pocket on the ALDs or any I just seeing things?

[Goldfish]

There is, it's just really close to the waist so you cant even tell from the pics

[Reggie Died]

I think it's behind that small patch...I can make some some sort of circular fade.

LVC47501

Almost 16 months. Maybe 4 or 5 washes.

They are a bit darker really.

[M.O.A]

Beats- they started as one-wash... they are non selvedge.. very streaky and remarkably durable.

[rockon99]
