The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

[evisu 2000]

i've worn my apcs for about 10 months now and they haven't even faded close to that much... which i kind of prefer i guess. my apcs are made in tunisia though; i just bought a pair of new cures and i have a feeling these & all the newer ones fade much quicker.

[plongin]

I agree, the APC fades look very good, better than most other denim I reckon.

[eastcoastrider27]

APC fades are great, but the color is pretty bland in person. Too gray.

Here are my AWs that I got back in mid-March. I've worn them every day. A couple weeks back I gave them a cold soak in some Woolite dark to get this ugly dirt color off of them after I roto tilled a neighbor's yard, and now they're much softer and the color is really starting to show. Great jeans.

[Guest mwills]

the AWs are looking really nice

[beatle]

These will be great..they already are..but the 1st wash will revile beauty

[destructodisk]

Thank you both.

I think in a couple more months I'm going to give these a proper wash.. They should look really nice then I think.

After that I plan on buying some Somets, and I'll retire these to a weekend jean. I don't want to completely destroy them!

im liking the patch in particular. honey combs coming in fast as hell

*ps- fuck alyall for the lack of s710 love you hurt my feelings.

[evilgeniusdan]

AW's look awesome. My two month-ish grifters don't look anywhere near as good as those.

[ang_kangkong]

Are the pocket bags red? I can see some red peeking out.

The patch is so ‘70s to me. I remember Ande showing it separately in his thread, when he was making v3, they look so much better in context. Put a pic of it in the leather patch thread. I think we got a contender here.

These are pretty cool. I love that in-between stage, when it's not so new, but it's not your beater jeans yet. And for only 2 months' wear, too.

heres a pair of Gap straight leg selvedge i picked up in January, these arent the Goughs or the Morrisons. These are the ones that came out after those two. I wore these about everyday for the first two months, maybe 2-3 times a week the month after that. Now im back to wearing them almost everyday. I havent seen anyone post these yet so tell me guys what you think...

[hoodsuburbia]

^those are coming out nice. i bought a pair just for the sake of buying em and now i think im gunna wear em haha

[LaiShin]

please refrain from quoting 5 large pics...

u could have:

1)just commented below it

2)put an arrow [^] to comment

3)remove image tags

edit: [i sound like a mod]

but yea, don't. My right eye bleeds when someone does that.

[GoodHustle]

I'm with you LaiShin, that shit gets really annoying.

*ps- fuck alyall for the lack of s710 love you hurt my feelings.

Patience dino, with a couple more months of wear, the love will be there.

my friend bought a pair of those too. he washed them probably around 10 times and they faded quite a bit. so don't wash to often

These are looking so nice. This pic alone makes me wanna wash my jeans...I think dirt after a while makes jeans look dull...keep on going with these and they will be beautiful.

[LaiShin]

damn, never realised penetrating thick skulls was such a challenge.

[watchman]

[cheep]

[Double D]

Those Andes look pretty sexy. Not even going to take a 30 second shower in mine until August though...

[merzbot]

activity was a little of bike riding, but for the most part it was dodging shop owners and dealing drugs climbing in the slums of morrocco..

pocket bags got absolutly fucked.

[cheep]

^^very nice

[justinbaily21]

Those are excellent. The back looks especially nice.

[Chicken]

Same. No man with Samurais like that should be stuck in some grey rep purgatory.

[bouwnt]

[will_i_am]

wow.

very nice.

[travisio]

s5000vx. i gave them a wash but i haven't had time to fix the crotch so i haven't been wearing them. the pictures are perhaps a bit light and kind of kill a bit of the contrast.
