for some reason the whiskers on the left thigh are "pinched"

I'd suspect you predominantly cross one leg. Happens to pretty much everyone.

Cool soulcraft. Did you tumble dry them at some stage? I did some testers in the drier and the leather came out like that...the indigo rubs on it and kinda reverses the logo.

My leather patch has leather dye bleed from my belts across it. Kinda funny.

Not going to be letting these near a full soak until January though.

kinda. normally left over right when i'm crossing my legs.

also, i don't have a table/chair in my room for my computer, but i do have this little shelf table thing that i place my laptop on, so i have to sit crosslegged in front of it. i do switch legs now and then though

it also helps with the honey combs

but makes the knee bulges bulgier

samurai s0500 10 months, no contrast adjustments

i really like HJJ's fade because it's so contrasted. Mine is almost devoid of indigo...

[beatle]

Still convinced that going for these with the contest was the best decision at the time...

My LEVIS 1944´s S501XX, worn for several month when I started wearing them

at my new job on horse ranch, for about one month now, every day... I will keep

wearing them the next month aswell before I gonna wash em again

[gimmegimme]

by "wash them again", are you inferring that they're currently in a washed state? :confused:

I think he's saying that at some point in the past they've been washed. Though, it seems like it must have been quite some time ago.

[Sympathy-For-The-Denim]

exactly theetruscan, these had been washed about 3-4 times during one year, I´m not such a fan of wearing a jean 8 month without any washes, I doubt that people in the past did not wash em for that long period, so I wanted to create a pair that looks authentic in some way

ha...I was j/k. they look great.

I know you guys aren't high on nudies.

Slim jim dry black, 11 months, 3 washes, first wash (hot) after 9 months.

They were a real bitch to break, they really took off after 7 months.

Ignore the date, camera is not set properly.

[sweetmofo]

gotta be mad not to be high on that.

superb! killer combs

[chrisbunnington]

damn, those look good. mine are older but i wish they looked like that. yours are holding up much better too.

[watchman]

look great. black jeans rarely fade like that, im impressed.

[joey_formal]

look pretty nice for those dry black sj. black dry nudies come out a little nicer then regular dry indigo nudies in my opinion

[andrewfuncrew]

levis rigid skinner with gold stitching

had em for about a year, worn sporadically

1st wash yooooooooo

these are 2% spandex, so they didn't quite yield a result that reflects the wear

i'm pleased either way

[rome1]

still very nice for sporadic wear.

[CHUNGY]

better pictures that represent the color of my 1 year old RRDS. taken with flash in a dark room.

I am really a big big fan of the way FH denim changes color..deep ocean blue - beautiful pair you have there....

[40ozprophet]

i love the patch on those FH. nice job.

[watchman]

FH look great, patch is wild.

[ndmhxc]

FH look great, patch is wild.

i was almost a little bit upset at first when i saw the way the patch was going...almost like falling apart, but im very happy with the way its come out...i just hope they dont fall apart anymore!!!!

is that 100% leather? is it so thick is why it's coming apart like that? that effect is very pleather like.

time for a little oil? :confused:

[ndmhxc]

yeah i dont know if its 100% leather actually, that may be a question for kiya...and yeah im planning on oiling it if it turns out its 100% leather.

[andewhall]

Wow awesome pic man. I was wondering why quite a few of the japanese brands went for embroidery in the same spot as the old red tabs...to cover up a tiny red sliver where the tag was cut off? The PBJ one would cover the whole thing yeah. I like the skull one....its like buried treasure. I love these geeky wee details. When I worked an an embroidery factory I would run an embroidery program/design over my holey clothes to fix them.

It would surprise me that the FH leather tags weren't leather. They pride themselves on the quality of their leather products and claim to be of higher quality than Red Moon. I think the wear on that leather patch has more to do with the type of printing they use on the patch.

I wonder why no company has come up with some really nice hand tooled leather patches. I assume they would be pretty expensive, but I was thinking of doing some hand tooling on a chunk of leather and replacing the pleather patch on my old Nudies.

Doesn't 45RPM do that? Or maybe I don't understand what you mean.
