[Dick Danger]

what do you guys do in your jeans i'm curious

seems like people are really forcing activity for wear

yah

I just go to work.

[watchman]

great diors, really looking incredible. I usually don't see as much contrast on the diors as compared to other stuff, but those are just insane.

Another update before vacation and a sea water wash for my Okinawas...

They were mad oily from working on my bike this past weekend. The thighs were completely black.

Wore them in the shower then tossed them into the dryer for an hour.

I love seeing the deep indigo inbetween fades...

Dope honeycombs huh

Note: Thighs arent THAT faded, as pictured in the first pic. As usual, lighting sucks. (left thigh)

Edit* Du-mas.

[__3xL]

So uh just a quick shower in them and the oil is gone ? voila .. ?

[stuntastic]

Yup... Its like magic but not.

From WAYWT.

Can slightly see the oil on the right leg. I tried to get a picture earlier, but the sun and clouds were being shitty.

I got mine on ebay, so all I know is they're from '97 and whoever sold me them said they were a 28x32. They feel a bit loose on the waist so I'd reccomend sizing down if you find a pair.

DDML - those are inspiring. I am just waiting for mine to arrive from 2000db. A few questions - how many times have they been washed (assuming that they have been)? What kind of soap do you use? What kind of wear do you put them through? How did you soak them when you got them?

[M.O.A]

omg thank you for those pics DDML. I now understand the beautty in natural indigo. Its just so hard to capture in pictures but you did a pretty good job. More pics please?

[denimdestroyedmylife]

thanks

- washed first at 4 months with sc detergent in a machine on delicate, cold. soaked in sc treatment 20 mins. drip dry. repeated 5 months later, except cold handwash.

- treated patch w/ obenauf LP

- worn everydayish for first 4 months; once or twice a week for next 5 months; i hiked in these jeans, nothing hardcore

- smackadog cold-soaked them for 2 hours, but they didn't fit him. so i got them in a gentle one-wash state.

[ordo]

They look awesome. Maybe I will post pictures of mine 9 months from now and we can compare. Thanks for the info - it's greatly appreciated.

[blm14]

I hate you for having a pair of those. I sweat that jean so bad it should be criminal.

[JesseJB]

DDML those are fantastic! I love the streaking.

[watchman]

those are great man, they make me really appreciate that natural indigo.

I figured 6 months is a good time to post an update...

These were washed at 3 months (truly stank), and have been washed twice more since then. Every time has been machine washed with powder. I wore them pretty much everday for the first 4-5 months, but have eased off them a bit since then. Probably every second day now. Anyway on with the pictures:

With flash, reasonable representation of true colour:

The rest are without flash, and a better representation of true colour and fading I think:

Now gimme some rep!

DDML - those canes are looking beautiful. Makes me wanna focus more on the dyeing process rather than the cut when I buy my next pair.

[watchman]

those are looking great! Even though people say that imperials are pretty much the same denim as nudies i definitely like the imperial fade more.

The Imperials are killin this thread. I'm wearing my Dukes right now, but they're about three months away from a six-month wash. The thighs, knees, and my wallet pocket look great already, but I'm not posting in this thread until mine look more like these.

[tweeds]

ddml - finally! a chance to update your 40400s in the XXX thread...

choice_genes, cut and dyeing do not have to be mutually exclusive - go for it i say.
