sjdj 16 month 1 wash

[poly800rock]

11 months, pre-wash.

post wash aka after spilling some korean juices on it. quick hand wash in the tub with dr. bronners. minimal aggitation. these kind of look like LVC's which is due to the cone denim I suppose.

[salaami]

those ande's are breaking through just lovely. those real mccoy's posted earlier has that FH blueberry smurf goodness hue coming out of them.

i posted some evo pics in the denime contest thread. i would've posted them here but i was high and forgot. shit

[ranonranonarat]

i sold me digital slr a while back and bought a new camera to replace that. was trying to figure out how to work out the white balance and what better way than to document denim? didnt manage to figure out the white balance but yeah whatever, will work that out in a whiles time. they were all shot in chronological order of age, oldest to newest. also, my favourite place to photograph my denim has been wrecked, this is my new favourite way/place.

@xcoalesce - damn, that's a brilliant evolution presentation!!! rep'ed

[dylanbooth78]

got round to washing my LVC 55 501 yesterday...now i just have to get them dirty again!!!

[liewbaysea]

010s! extremely light wear for 2.75 months and good wear in the past week. they start out purple and turn blue when they fade! awesome

[insomnia]

was taking pics of old shit to sell and decided to take some pics of my old MIJ 19cms. these were worn from summer 07 until about winter 09, with a year or so being solely dedicated to these jeans. they broke in very well and were incredibly comfortable (at the time). one soak, one wash. had the crotch reinforced once. one of the pocket scars blew out but the pocket still worked so no big. they have a greenish tinge to them, but it's not dirt (i washed them close to their retirement), and i dig the color. without further ado:

and a fit pic (fortunately i was a bit skinnier a year/two ago):

also, sorry for the grain. resizing problems.

repost from Flat Head thread...

update my 3001.

5month, 2 wash 1 soak..

enjoy..

[insomnia]

thanks for the rep/comments guys.

for those who asked:

they're a size 29 and i stopped wearing them because they became too slim for my tastes. lifestyle and wardrobe changes prompted me to get some looser clothes. they were great for the 2 years or so i wore them, though.

[vespr^1198s]

i think those are still a good fit on you insomnia, great work on them nonetheless

[pennyoka]

insomnia - I know those still look sexy as fux on you. KEEP WEARING THEM.

[krakatu]

@insomnia - that's look good lad,,,, rep'ed

[nemoulette]

Reposting these. My brother (pictured) has been wearing my worn to fuck Warehouse 1920s Lee repros. Got them 3,5 years ago now, worn daily for maybe 1,5 years.

[salaami]

fantastic nemo, how are the fullcounts holding up?

[nemoulette]

salaami: they're too small never put any serious wear into them. maybe when i slim down. shouldn't have gotten em tapered.

Instead: my super-busted Evisu no2s that I just repaired in the crotch for the tenth time, this time using a ghetto method with thick ass leather. Got these slightly worn last summer.

[nemoulette]

[chubby]

^^^^^

your balls are going to love that repair

[CJsmalls]

Some pictures of my Samurai S0500XX's. Had em for over 2 and a half years, with over 1.5 years of wear. Would like to say thank you for all the kind comments I received from posting them over the years.

and...VS my new Denime XX (old stock) which I was very very lucky to find this morning.

Will post more about that in the Denime thread later.

APC NS 1.5 year ~5+ washes

[grouse_allergy]

plus rep, neomulette (both the warehouses and evisus look great) and cjsmalls (hoping my 0500s turn out half that nice!)

Had these since last summer, probably only 5 months of wear (or less) with 3 washes and a few soaks, including a heavy machine wash/dry the other night after a week of being worn for painting a stage set.

Here are my dukes again, size 28 been wearing them all summer. Bike rides, long ass greyhound rides, moving etc. Id say total wear on these are close to 11 months? Didn't keep track. Last time I posted these, I noted a crotch rip about to blow up. Got it repaired and now they are ready for more wear.

[sayocean]

My first pair of raws, Slim Jim Dry Japans. Size 28, bought these in July of 2007, but total wear in between rotations is approximately 1 year? Two washes so far.
