My old pair of APCs were featured on Heddels this past Friday: https://www.heddels.com/2017/07/fade-friday-p-c-new-standard-9-years-unknown-washes-soaks/

Wow, your APC jeans are looking epic!!!! 

Make sure to keep them alive for ever and  never ever throwing them away! Otherwise let me know before. I would love to give  them an eternal life in the Jeansmuseum of heaviest fadings at any time!!!

SD-307 December 2015 until now, washed often:

[sebsakob]

RRL with Japanese denim, maybe 4 years old, worn on and off, unknown washes, lots of repairs, some good ones by my local tailor, some poor ones did by myself

I did tapered them to achieve more of a 60s cut. There was no 43200G or something else that could have done chainstitch hemming, so there is only single stitching used for the hems. Anyway the roping looks okay I think...

It has been a while since I took any photos what so ever.
My main camera lens broke a while back and needs repairs.

But a week ago after I had given some of my shirts a wash the sun hit my 76. It sparkeled in the sunlight and was so beautiful. 

I had to take some photos

 

When I went through my old pictures I noticed that I had a picture from 2014 09 26 when the shirt was sparkling new with only 2 days of wear.
Thought it would be cool with a comparison picture of it on the same date and place three years later
So I took some photos yesterday.
Left side: 2014-09-26 2 days of wear 0 soak 0 machine wash
Right side: 2017-09-26 241 days of wear 3 soaks 1 machine wash

Looking great! I think I need to shorten mine. It's too long on me (I'm 5'9"-ish).

Interesting that your vintage pair did the pocket creasing thing that the current repos do, although the repos do it in a more extreme way. 

Here's a (hopefully) better quality pic, which shows the amazing loom chatter on the rear left thigh of James's Jeans.

Hey guys,

Been a long time...

Lot. 004 at almost 3 years. These weren't worn everyday and there were a few months off when I didn't wear them, washed frequently (usually about after a month of wear).

Tried to capture/adjust the pics to show their true color, but it's hard to show.
