Xpost from RRL thread:

Here's my old pair of slims. I haven't worn these in at least a year and they probably have about 6 months of wear on them... I apologize in advance for the horrendous photos. My girl took the good camera with her to New York this week and natural light is scarce in portland at the moment. But, I wanted to give these guys a wash so I thought I'd take some photos just for posterity.

Post-wash. Yesterday afternoon in the shade (distinctly less orange than pre-wash.):

Just noticed the yoke-stitching is coming undone. Gonna have to fix that.

Not much happening on the SDA front in the t household. But over the weekend and last night there's been more floor-scrubbing and painting in my cheapo Lee jeans. Someone repped me recently for 'moving up' from Lee to SDA but I love these jeans just as much... and I don't care about the paint splashes.

[dralfonzo]

great jeans paul and those sammies are amazing too

[phive-oh-won]

here's some post wash pics of my 501 STF's and Levi's 1966 superslims. It's the first wash for the STF's (all they had before that was the initial soak) and the second wash for the superslims.

[seafinch]

Just found these Julian Red Calis in my closet... had forgotten about em.

[ThinFinn]

same post as on mn.

a resize would do the trick ;-)

[M1stral]

Oops, deleted my old post... Anyway, resized them.

Somet 003, everyday wear for about a month. Maybe not really post worthy but I'll let you decide.

Here are my Momotaro 0703/0705SP. Not really sure why there are two model names but they are low rise, slim in the thigh and then straight from the knee down. Here is a link

http://blueingreensoho.com/site/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=3654&category_id=&manufacturer_id=42&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=28

I got them true to size in a 32. They have stretched a little but but they were not that tight to begin with and I wear a belt so the shrinkage has been minimal. The second day I had them, I tore a huge hole in the knee. My mechanic installed makeshift license plate bolts to replace the old rusted ones. I was walking around the front of my car and one of the bolts grabbed my knee and ripped a perfect L shape in my brand new jeans. Oh well. I got it fixed up at a tailor who did a pretty good job but also tapered the knee a little bit.:confused: Anyways They have about a month of solid wear. They are taking forever to fade and are very very dark. I have washed them 2 or 3 times already but I am gonna give that a rest to see if i can develop some good creases. Because they are not as tight as my size 30 skulls, They might take longer to fade and the fading/contrast will also be more broad and less sharp if that makes sense. I don't know why I am saying that, I guess its just something to think about.

This first pics are just to show how dark they are even after 1 month and 3 washes.

There is hardly any crotch fading yet and yes my belt is too small.

I like how the paint is fading! Everyone thinks I did it myself haha

For a pair of jeans that fits looser, I wish the back rise was a little bit higher. That was my fault though

You just have to embrace the selvage.

And finally here is the repair job that was done.

Another cross post from Japan Blue Momotaro

He actually pulled the selvage edge in a little bit. Im not complaining though I can hardly notice while wearing them.

Here are some pics of the fit

this one was a tough angle

Here they after the trip to BIG. To be fair we didn't walk all the way to grand central from Green st. Those are cab creases

And finally here they are hangin' out with my skulls in the back yard.

[beatle]

[geneticdrifter]

edit: honestly i think that should be an insta-ban. fuck making money, consumerism and art, if we can't self police that shit.
