[salaami]

dude's stfs are proof that any raw denim worn hard will look good with time.

[U MAD]

stfs actually look the best ever

[jyoni]

Another cross-post from the 501 stf contest. I love the structure on these, but it's been such a miserable year for work, so they are only starting to really break through. No more than 5-6 months on them, tops

[zissou]

Mall Brand status.

Thought I'd put up a few pics of my Banana Republic jeans just for the hell of it. They are/were raw Japanese selvage, with about 10 solid months of wear and about 5 washings. They've been a real bitch to fade, so nothing very spectacular. I've worn them through 3 or 4 room demolition projects in my house, which consists of ripping out lathe and plaster, rewiring, trim removal and restoration, etc. I've tried to beat the hell out of them. They've had one crotch repair and could use some repair down by the hems. As of yesterday, they were basically grey from plaster dust, so I threw them in for a hot wash.

not runway enough

[beatle]

I think they look allright..like a nice pair of beaters....

Last pic of my SExSC06's before retiring due to repair needs. They'll probably see more light sometime during the summer. Seen here with a fresh pair of Samurai 0500s.

I'm with ya, my Gap skinny selvedge have gotten to a point of being really partially faded, and have been that way for the last two months. i really want them to fade more, but i feel like i'm only wearing away at seams and such. whatever though, they were cheap hahh

[khoiphan92]

ah sweet those are great cheap thanks. especially liking the vintage look

[khoiphan92]

Someone asked for more detailed pictures. I guess because my camera sucks so much haha. washed after the last pictures.

Heres my inner pocket repaired with selvage samurai denim. The inside pocket was ripped about 4 inches and I would have just repaired it with just stiching but there was just so much frayed.

im getting some s5000bks from a member on here so these will probably won't be worn as much anymore. (probably the last pictures of these fully worn)

@musicdead and LC-miley. - not a fan of skinny jeans really, but both of your fades look A+. + rep

eh...pretty true but i think... how to put this. 501 stf > banana republic. no offense zissou but they just are

not runway enough

. lol just joking. the jeans are unique and have some interesting wear, but i wonder what a pair of 501's would have looked like, put through the same remodel(s).

@ zissou(not critiquing your style or anything at all. just using ur pair to illustrate a point.)

PEACE.

[yeaz3r]

heres my petites

wore them since june washed them in middle of november. exactly 6 months.

studs were falling off my jacket so i put it on my jeans in class

[freecat]

just washed my diors 19cm mij. thought i could take some pictures. i've owned them for 2.5 years, worn for 8 months straight then occasionally. washed like 5 or 6 times.

[marvelous1200]

Evisu broken twill, went true to size but they came bigger than tagged, still i think they fade well for being so soft. wish i would have sized down on these and bought another pair when they were around. have had them for maybe a year +, worn fairly oftern but not everyday.

Those don't look right on you.

[chubby]

^ x2

wtf did you do to the hem.

& the buttons/clasp looks like it might explosively shoot off at any moment.

nice raf hightops tho. :-)

[freecat]

just washed them and gained some weight lately .... in a couple of weeks they'll be loose again.

i hemmed them last year, and then the hem got completly trashed so i cut it with scissors and stitched. bad move i know.

i wear my diors very seldomly anyway, like once every couple of weeks, or to hang around at home.

[Yuy]

here are some pics of my somet 008, might retire them when my 66bspbk come in..

[chambo2008]
