[M.O.A]

sorry i just noticed....what the fuck happened to the rep bars?

nice jeans kids....except those ones....^ boo for cell phone fades.....

[dave023]

What happened to your knees???

[mspark]

I quite fancy my cellphone fade.

[datasupa]

come on, there are lots of ...erm....valid reasons zephyr might get down on his knees all the time

[selaviso]

i know... why are your knees like that but there is no fades leading to that? break dancing? or when you and your friends play spin the bottle they use you for the bottle?

Alrighty, here are my Imperial Kings, purchased about 8-9 months ago. They've been washed 3 times cold, 1 time hot and soaked once. I wear these just about every day without fail and I'm fairly abusive to them.There's a little blowout from the outdoors shots, but the ones wear I'm wearing them are pretty true to color.

weird fade pattern.

but i really like the stack.

you used starch right.

and the imperial patch is ridiculous.

[choice_genes]

daaaamn nice imperials on this page guys! crazy patch results too - there seems to have been some very different results with the imperial patches that we've seen on here.

on an unrelated note, they chopped up my peen! wtfbbq?

[nikesber]

holy fuck! nice patch! and crazy stacking. i think he starched them and pulled his jean leg openings up to his knees.

[diewhitegirls]

The patch is really easy to do. Boiling water and then when it dried, I rubbed mineral oil into it for a while, since I couldn't find my Obenauf's.

[gimmegimme]

Looks like beef jerky.

The patch is a little screwy, but I <3 it. I just tossed mine in the washing machine with all of my old jeans and put them through a normal cycle. I've given up on getting fancy with rinsing them in the sea and cold soaking them in baby urine. At the end of the day I realized that they're just jeans.

Probably better to wash sooner than later. The longer you go without washing, the more brittle the denim will get. Since you've got a lot of stacking / combs going on, you're bound to get some ugly cracks and tears in there if you hold off on washing for a long time. And if you've noticed in the evo thread, the nicest imperials have been the ones that have been washed after reasonable periods of time (serge, choicegenes, diewhitegirls, etc)...

[andewhall]

DaWG....that leather is bad ass....ride the lightning.

[diewhitegirls]

I believe you have to pull the cock out of your ass first, but that's just off the top of my head. Then, through a 57 step process, involving a working knowledge of quantum mechanics, a rubber band, and a player to be named later, you can achieve maximum non shrinkage.

Oh and Ande...I plan on leaving the patch alone on your jeans. I've been kind to them so far, as every pair of jeans I've gotten kid pee and poop on. Yours are going to be my pristine pair.

[watchman]

Just got back from a month travelling around europe, so I figured I'd post what happened to my jeans. The sammies got most of their wear in this month, which is impressive, and the eternals just got cycled in.

[Dex_star]

apc new standards ~ 10 months no wash

[bart]

I washed my oni blues and apc rescues yesterday, and here are the results. I dont see that much of a change on the onis, but the I really like how the apcs came out. Its too bad I didnt take before pictures of them.

Please excuse the cellphone pics, my digital camera is broken.

Oni Blue Vedge @~6 months of wear 1 hot soak before this wash

Before

After

APC Rescues @ ~7-8 months of wear 2 warm soaks 2 washes including this one

[fatchino]

Used one of the few decent days here since April as an excuse to take some shots of my Skull 5508s.

~2.5 months (I think)

Not nearly as impressive as some of the others I've seen here but this is the evolution thread.
