The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

My edwins at another 1.5-2 months and one more wash. They will soon need more repair done on the ass and down at the hem.

9.5-10 months of total wear.

2 washes

[Elxys]

thaiison, your edwins look sick man

Cross post from A.P.C. thread

Couldnt get the contrast that's actually on this pair though with my new camera (Maybe because of the small file size of these pictures)

NC at 9.5 months of wear

Worn 5 days a week for maybe 7 hours a day or so

Hot soak at 4.5 months

Considering for another soak at the 12th month, any suggestions?

Way to go Thaison!

Thank you on the comments on the jeans

I just washed these last week after I spilled some hot sauce all over them. I think I'm retiring these now cause I want to keep the suttle fades and the darker hue of the jeans now. For my first pair of raw/selvedge/expensive denim, I'm pretty happy.

Oh yeah and about that ass sag. I bought these size 30 back when I was about 15 lbs heavier. Since then I've gotten back into shape but in the meantime my waist and ass shrank. The result is serious ass sag and constantly pulling these up haha.

I'm in the market for new jeans and I leave back to college in 2 weeks. Self Edge here I come lol

EDIT: Was superbored and decided to make a little "postcard" of the picture. I'll probably do these when I'm done with the next pair haha.

[40ozprophet]

those are really beautiful RRls, the best pair I can remember seeing. was last week your first wash? how long were you wearing them for?

[cheEeEEEz890]

Last week was my second wash. I started wearing these on January the 1st of this year.

[braid]

seriously, wow, great looking RRL's. I like the fit too.

[jaspar]

Flat Head 3001's. Difficult to figure out total wear, but probably 4-5 mos. 1 initial cold soak, 2 cold washes. I'm actually slightly disappointed by how little they've faded, but perhaps I'm a sedentary bastard:

[mr.invincible]

where the Haiiiillll do you buy RRL jeans?

[headtowall]

Spilled cereal on these this morning, so I figured it was time for a wash. How others have such faded pairs in so little time, I have no idea.

Eternal 811. 10 months. One wash.

[iGIT]

Thats some serious leg twist

[daveo]

Headtowall, those are awesome. It looks like you have some good patterns forming, just keep 'em going.

[__Nicholas]

i kinda retired these a few months ago, so i figured id wash them tonight for the first time to see how theyd look. these have about 6 months of everyday wear with alot of skateboarding and cycling.

btw they are size 28 gap morrisons.

sorry for all the pictures.. im high and bored

[thislittlepiggy]

Eternal 811, 5 mo., 1 wash and a soak every two weeks cuz i don't like nasty smelling jeans.

sloooow fading. i feel ur pain headtowall.

[Quinnskimo]

Oni Blue

6 Months

worn 5 days a week

2 washes

great jeans that didn't show much wear at all for a few months but are starting to wear in quite nicely. the last wash really brought out the slubbiness. will probably soak from here on out for the most part instead of washing because all the shrinkage is gone and i want to retain color as much as possible.

[M.O.A]

my ndg shorts last week of august. They have since been washed but i have no new pics of em.

brendons edwins after a long time

cheers

[CJsmalls]

pics were taken on august 17th after 2nd wash, they're about 4.5months old in the pics, kinda lost track

Some attempted detail shots

And how they fit about 2 weeks ago

Will post some updates around 7 months

[RandomRules]

Now for something new.

Corpus Rye Skinny Straight at 8 months. Two soaks, and one wash.

Sorry for the crappy cell pictures, it's my only camera. This has been my favorite pair of jeans fit wise in a long time, I really like them.

500xx almost 9 months - i dont wear them hard, that explains how lame the fades are.

Thought this one showed the unique, uneven character of the denim nicely. sucks that its gotta be tiny:

S0210XJ - 7 months, worn 5x a week I'd say. 4 washes? They look a tad darker than pre wash because they're still a bit damp.

Pre-wash

Post-wash

[fattybfat]

[who8mahrice]

[lilldavid]

Those look good! Take some outdoor pictures in better resolution!

[Quinnskimo]

jeans look great. photos look a bit overly contrasty. outdoor/natural light photos would do them justice.

[Casper]

Haha alright I'll try. They never seem to come out right :S

[snipez]

sd103 ~1 year, lots of washes

this gives me hope... ive had mine for almost 7 months and not near there... impossible jeans to fade
