The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

[M.O.A]

i think the diors are worth the money...if you shop around they really arent that expensive...esp for those with the super spending habits such as that we have....

[BrokenGlass]

^^ agreed i have to say i have only seen one or diors with a good fade otherwise just kinda boring

My friend has a pair that he's been wearing for a year or so and they look pretty good actually... he just blew the crotch so after he repairs maybe I can get some pics up... I wish I had jeans that fit like the diors though, sxxxe :: fit is great.

New Standards, wore them 2-3 times a week for two years. One soak, this is the first wash.

[lowrider]

APC new cures. 4 months no wash 1 crotch soak.

What's a crotch soak? Did you wee yourself?

haha crotch soak

nah, that would be more of a knee soak...........

just had the crotch soaking in a bucket of cold water.. i figure that'd decrease the risk of rips in that area

Vinz, those NS are really good looking. how loose are they on you now?

great-looking honeycombs. repped

once you get the lap fade going, it'll be a "perfectly" faded NS

[nakedsushi]

Here are my Lindas at almost 2 months, 1 cold soak. The only noticable fade so far is the wallet fade and some patches on my calves.

APC New Standard

1 year, 4 months

No Wash

these are pretty much retired now, unfortunately. they are absolutely disgusting, but if i could still wear them i would.

looking at skull 5010xx 6x6, flathead 3001, dior 19cm, or another pair of new standards.

[beatle]

Holy crap...those have to go to a museum....

[jwied82]

damn, those are insane!. so much overall color loss, especially for not having been washed, and they have that awesome dirty cast that worn-in apcs always seem to have.

looks like if you tried to wash them now, they come out of the washer as APC chaps.

[vinz]

40oz: They actually fit perfect again. I guess the wash shrunk them back, before washing them they were about a size looser. I haven't worn them since I washed them over the weekend. I'm sure they'll loosen up again. I bought a size 30 and I normally wear a 32

[LaiShin]

I never get tired of seeing faded NS....even though there's like 8 in the XXX thread.

[hoodsuburbia]

everyones jeans looks so dope. im washing my edwins right now they are too filthy

[sweetmofo]

damn thenga, looks like you got attacked by a bear or something.

[watchman]

haha hey phil, i'm glad you posted those. Are you going to wash them? or just let them sit untouched.

-matt(from the DB)

[joey_formal]

phil about time you posted those grimy ass apcs

[coiol]

The front of those APC's looks really sick but the back is pretty messed up. Did you wear them like that with your ass literally hanging out?

[thenga]

denim bar dudes saw these progressively get worse, it was really only in the last month that they just started evaporating. what's funny is that although i say these are retired, i still don't have anything else to wear yet, so yesterday i wore them to an interview for an internship. it went fine and i got the job, but i had to maneuver myself so i was facing the guy at all times so he couldn't see how fucked up the backside is.

i would wash them, if i could get someone to patch them up first, but i can't think of anyone on this earth who would be willing to take that job.

[khaltire]

thats retarded! Im surprised you got the job wearing jeans (but I dunno what kind of job it is).. and if I was the interviewer, I would be like whats with this guy walking all weird? and then I wouldnt hire you

seriously, you have 1 pair of pants? no hate.. niice jeans, but wtf!

[andrewfuncrew]

here's the deal

i think theyre hitting the wash in a couple minutes

14 months 1 soak

here we go

they are a little darker than featured in the picture but you get the idea

i'll post after-wash pictures tonight or tomorrow.

[abstraktgeformt]

One of the craziest pairs on SuFu. I'm really looking forward to the post-wash pics!

[viv1984viv]

not much happened really, but they have got there shape back, the hue has really came out, a really nice inky colour.

[watchman]

The color on those is really nice man. Are you rotating these?

[valhalla]

holy... how the hell did you achieve this andrew? i don't seem to get any wear around the knee area.

[Felix]

thats because your denim gets "steamed" everyday

it would suprise me if you get any good wear at all.....

[viv1984viv]

The color on those is really nice man. Are you rotating these?

yeah, they have allways been in rotation, they were my first japanese jeans, but when i first got em i was putting wear into my apc's and howies, now im working on the eternal 868s, edo ais and these, my black sammies will be in the mix if I ever get them hemmed.... and ive ordered some samurai cords too, need a day off from denim sometimes. I like rotating lots of jeans, its nice to allways have a choice of hues and fades at ones disposal when dressing, hehehe
