Thanks very much. The SDA's are pretty tough to break, but I have been rotating them with one or two other pairs since I got them so they don't see as much action as they otherwise might.

The Lee's I got from sam113 at Context in Madison. I don't know if Lee is still making this model or if they have other resin coated jeans, but I would highly recommend them. Nice fit, great feel, break in well. I think the denim is very similar to that on andrewfuncrew's 101z's.

[Robert_Bennett]

Keep working on those SDA's. Those are gonna look awesome in a few months. Nice work!!

[chris_n]

full counts look amazing! what model are those?

they are model 1101, slightly slimmer '47 cut, 13oz zimbabwe cotton

[chris_n]

Lee 101z resin coated. 8 months, washed 3-4 times since February. click to enlarge.

chris_n your full counts look great. i would have bought a pair of the 1108 if not for the high rise. seeing your pictures makes me want to reconsider.

thanks this was my favourite pair of raw denim thus far. they have faded beautifully. I'm hoping to get in on that duckdigger group buy to try out the warehouse XX denim next.

10 month full count 1101:

This is awesome, well done. Glad to see someone breaking in some less popular brands.

[beatle]

Oh ..FullCount is very popular ..just somewhat harder to get ur hands on...

[ang_kangkong]

Very nice Lees. Was wondering whatever happened to those. The wallet fade is NICE!

The fades are nice and subtle, but def. there.

[truestorytravis]

Thanks ang. I need to try to get some better images up because these aren't doing the fades justice. There's a really nice line that comes through on the back pockets because they're half-lined, but it just doesn't come through here.

[sneakeraddict]

looking good, well done.

really hope samuria will use their black denim on a more 'repro 47 - 55' style cut for guys like me.

So here are my Levi A-Types that I picked up in Hong Kong 4 or so months back. I've been wearing them on and off at school and what not, and they haven't been washed. They're not raw, but a really intense shade of blue; I really like them. Apologies for the bluriness in some pics, they don't use flash. Yeah, I know it's nothing impressive, but dammit all if they aren't hard to break down.

[hype_killz]

^ i like...

[choice_genes]

Hey Larry! (!) They look good man. I have a pair of A-types as well (from the 2005 japanese release).I feel ya, they take ages to start showing wear (mine were resin coated, I'm assuming yours are as well). But after you have washed them a couple of times they start to look great. So don't get disheartened, keep going!

I've got a pair of A-Types too ... as I understand it, these jeans are (were) raw but theyre also treated with resin and baked ... making them feel kinda like plastic at first and very color-fast ... after the first wash youll start to feel the denim texture more and theyll break in a little easier....but it does take a hellishly long time to break them in...like...double the amount of wear to get the same results as other jeans.....but hang in there!

What belt is that? I'm diggin in it, and I'm in the market for a new one.

[40ozprophet]

The tracks are sure coming in nice on those eternals.

[rome1]

Thanks 40oz, I constantly feel like I'm getting nowhere with them though, such a tough denim.

[Guest jeffvyain]

that's silly, man. they look good. how do you get those tracks to go all the way down the lower leg?

[40ozprophet]

Well, seeing as I'm about to wash these because of an unfortunate fish oil accident, here are my PBJ 005s at about 1 month. not too much going on yet. I have high hopes for the vertical fading, which is crazy on the ass right now.

[40ozprophet]

Sorry about double post, pics werent working.

Cell phone coin pocket fade

and color comparison with 4 or 5 month old STFs.

[rome1]

[sweetmofo]

40ozprohet great progress some sick whiskers are forming.

[ruach]

Ande Whall Rakers; Approximately seven months, one soak, two washes. These are very quick pictures as it was a bit windy outside and, as a result, quite difficult to get the jeans to be still.

[knucks]

Those ande's are looking good.

[edmond]

worn for about 4 months total not so hard worn been alternating it with the sam's... no wash no shit just worn out of the box( rather skulls paper bag..)
