Nice posts Johnny and beatle!.

That WH denim looks gorgeous...

[JohnnyRed]

thanks ya'll! I want to do the Dry Bones contest, but I'm loving my Sammies so much I might not be able to switch over right away...

[bo0sh]

since my threads getting no love...

yea so here they are. i've been wearing them straight since only about the end of november. wore them to bed a few times too i think it really helped with overall feel of them.

thats my schedule that's been in the back pocket since the beginning of the semester. it started out in my APCs and then when i started wearing these i transported it.

any comments and/or critisism's are welcome

i purpose a smaller fit, initially, would have served you justice with these julian reds. perhaps i am mistaken, blind to the facts. it might have been better of me to acquire your size of denim+actual waist size.

i like your honeycombs but your thigh fit could b better?

i do hope this was nothing but, constructive.

Here's my Samurai s5000vx at about 3 or 4 months wear. Fuckin loving these jeans. Check the pocket watch fade!!

I like these. Do you wash them alot?

[someskateboarder]

I like how you're taking the pictures in your underwear.

im getting sick of cats not giving wear&wash info on this thread. it aint hard. just a few keystrokes. also, a man should never be forced to look at another mans thighs...

[JohnnyRed]

I did a hot wash/dry when I got them, and then one hot wash/dry just before these shots.

I think typically I wash my jeans more than a lot of people, I wash them about every 3 months usually. And when I wash I usually do a hot wash and then in the dryer, so it ends up losing more indigo.

I'm real happy with the "vintage" fades this kind of washing produces. I like not worrying about them and just holding out for a while before washing to get some contrast. But obviously it doesn't help with stacking, and my combs sometimes reset. *shrug*

You gotta plus rep him cuz hes so dedicated to that pair of jeans he won't even put another pair on for 5 seconds to take a picture!

[Shorty Long]

I put these up on the LVC thread ages ago...

[selaviso]

wow very nice! +rep

[pomata]

looking great! 44s?

[Shorty Long]

Yes, those are 44s...I've had them for about 4 years, but haven't worn them exclusively...this was before a much-needed wash.

First denim post:

Levi's 510 ~2 years, 2 washes. These have had off and on wear for the past year, but the first year I wore them almost daily. They will likely be retired soon.

These pants served me really well, and I think the fades came out quite nicely for $40 pants.

[Whodinihimself]

Those are sweet...take some shade or indoor pics.

[siq tribal brah]

have the 510's really been out for 2 years? anyway, they look good for not being raw or anything.

[thomparetta]

siq thanks, but they weren't prefaded or anything, so as far as being raw... they were just as raw as other stretch non-selvedge denim, like cheap mondays.

whodini thanks,will do. maybe a fit pic as well

whats the deal with people thinking "raw" is some magical potion that is applied to jeans? That type of thinking is straight hypebeast. Raw is usually rigid but not necessarily all the time. To me, "raw" always meant denim that starts out like a blank canvas. If its not pre-distressed and it fades from something new/dark to something worn/faded, thats "raw" in my book.

"raw" = "unwashed" or "dry" denim (no rinse, no nothing)

"raw" jeans are rigid in texture because of the starch that keeps the denim material stiff so that it can be sewn together. Some jeans feel more rigid in texture than others...this is do to the varying starch content, weave (e.g. lefty twill denim is softer) and weight of the denim sourced by various brands.

The term is generally used loosely to include one-wash (or "one rinse") jeans that haven't undergone further treatment.

[sayocean]

im not saying your 510s weren't raw. Just the opposite. Some people think that raw can't be had for under $100.
