The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

@goki: It's nice to see a pair of faded N&F regular indigos. Those are a bitch to fade

[TLCA]

IH 634s at about 4 months, they're a bit darker in person

[chchchip]

These Nudies Thin Finns are the first pair of raw denims I ever owned. acquired in '06. wore the shit out of them. about two years of wear and one wash.

My next pair was some New Cure's from A.P.C. Wore these for about 2 years as well.

great evo on those, thou they look a lil tight?

[cander49]

Idk if anyone around here would care about these, but I decided to try a pair of Diesel's new turbodenim (accelerated fading raws, they claim that they go from "raw to vintage in 30 days"). They start out as a basic indigo dyed raw but they're treated with some sort of enzyme that speeds the fading process. Not sure exactly what it is, but it seems to work relatively well. I guess they're kind of like the "fast food version of raw denim", as I've heard it put, but they're fun, pretty inexpensive (can get them for $150 from ssense) and if you happen to mess them up, it won't take years and years to get a good wash back. In any case, I've just gotten 34 wears in so far (no washes, soaks, etc) and here's what mine look like as of now:

Yeah yeah, everyone around here hates Diesel and these aren't very special yet, but these are going to look pretty sick after 6 months of wear.

awesome man!! keep at it, i really want someone work on something that we don't see everyday

[madstaxbro]

Kind of just seems like a weak dye job being flipped around but at least it may be a stepping stone for people who want to get into wearing them raw. $150 seems a little steep for that though.

Also apologies if it sounds ignorant, just my opinion.

[ah_long]

wear doesn't seem that quick... but like other's said, seemed like a weak dye..

non the less.. + repped for something different

I never heard of those Levis Imprint, thanks for the link. I guess the Diesel's aren't that original of an idea then... haha. In any case, I thought that they wear relatively fast, but they dont' seem to be "10 times faster" than raws as I've seen it claimed. I really haven't worn mine all that hard though, so I think it's probably still a fair amount faster than normal. Whether that's from some magic enzyme or just a weaker dye job, i have no idea. haha.

[laxlife1234]

^imo, that is still fast for 34 wears. I sure as Hell know my samurais will not look as worn as the front portion (knees especially). But, the combs could definitely be worn more. Not much fades, but definitely pretty cool nonetheless.

Are these the one?http://www.ssense.com/men/product/diesel/tepphar_jeans/32370

They are not saying it's the turbodenim

Yeah, I think those are the same, not sure why it doesn't say turbodenim on there. I bought mine from diesel.com though. Maybe Ssense just has a similar wash for sale there.

[Ahlvahroe]

im not really pleased with these pictures, i think the flash really dulled the look of the fade.

so i had these for about a year and a half and i wanted a really vintage-y looking fade so i washed these at least once a month.

oh and i just got the gulls redone so thats why they still look fresh.

[cander49]

Thanks for the input everyone, btw. I'm actually eyeing samurais for my next pair. As for the knee wear on these, most if it is probably from the indigo rubbing off on the carpet when I kneel down to take pictures for eBay (I do a lot of eBay...), so maybe the indigo comes off a little more easily from contact with other surfaces but no faster than normal from just basic wear. Who knows... I'll definitely go with the real deal next time though.

[Boardish]

I have 4 pairs of Samurais, and few other japanese raw denim... I think I will try these Diesel for 1 month just for fun.

Thanks for bringing that up.
