Keep it up, Cult. Those are my favorite of yours all around, I think.

[jeepster]

cult how are you sliq's coming - mine are being pretty resilient, i'm getting good creasing, but not a lot of "wear" per say. some good vertical creases too, but they seem to be very prone to stay relatively, lets say, unbroken.

i wish i had a digital camera to illustrate

[dave023]

1 wash and 1 seawash.

[beatle]

Welcome back , old friend...

Crosspost from the APC thread

APC NS after 14 months. Constantly washed them, and did do APC ocean washes, I lost so much color. Both knees ripped out at the skate park. On the front of the jeans there is a hole forming in the front left pocket, on the front left thigh on one of the whiskers,and both knees.

SDA D1002, about 5 weeks or so total wear. Don't see this on here so much, so I thought I'd post early pics.

sda's lefty-twills give such interesting vertical fades. keep it up chocodove, and i think we'll all enjoy it.

The denim looks kinda similar to the RRDS. But better.

I love it. (repped)

Hope my friend is able to get a pair for me...

^^what the heck do you do on your right knee and ass to make them fade so fast??

[electronic cheetah]

meta, those jeans are amazing!

Here are my Julian Red calis at ~4½ months I haven't washed them yet, and don't have any plans on doin' it in the near future either since they smell so nice and still are pretty fresh

I was screwing around playing basketball one time and fell on the one knee, and I think the ass is from going hiking in ridiculously hot weather a few times.

Best looking jeans I've seen in this thread in like a year. Absolutely fantastic.

[hype_killz]

[joey_formal]

cheetah your calis are looking good too dude.

[moykky]

meta, nice apc's!

[lenn]

tnf1029 more pics please, i'm curious too... what model is it btw? was it completely raw?

and how much did it shrink when you washed em?

[heflys]

Looks like the basic rinse or selvage rinse to me.

[frofivealpha]

First pair of raw, I've learned a lot in these.

8.5 Months

[TazBnyF]

I rarely post on here but figured i would, as i haven't seen too many SDAs that far along. I'm pretty pleased at the way these have come along...7 months, 1 cold hand wash, 1 dry clean.

[nikesber]

VERY nice honeycombs +1

[justinbaily21]

Those are coming along wonderfully. Keep it up! SDAs are hard to break, but the contrast is worth it.

[Superstar]

uhh, i hope my sdas will get combs like that..

+1 very nice..

[TazBnyF]

thanks...there is much more contrast than my terrible bright pics show as well. if i get a chance i'll post better images.

[tomenugen]

like justinbaily said, sda's are hard to break in. super props on how yours are going...and in such a short time period too!
