The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

[Conifurious]

they look great, but the original pictures on the road hardly resemble the fit pics. contrast was obviously jacked up a decent amount. that's probably more common than we like to think here. i guess i really don't care what you do with your pictures though, so happy editing...

I won't say there were not any contrast adjustments, as I always tinker to achieve the closes resemblance to the actual patina (this includes color and white balance on occasion) but I will say that the lighting indoors will almost invariably produce different results. Contrast was a bit exaggerated though, no lie.

when you're editing, look at your whites first. you can see how they're all blown out (just straight white...lost detail) in that picture down around the hem where the jeans have been torn up a bit. after you get those right, then you can try to match your blues. no worries mate. like i said, don't really care one way or another. just giving you some feedback. good lookin jeans though

Agreed. There are too many instances of photoshoping and I really think a fit pic gets rid of that most of the time. It's hard to jack the contrast with a bunch of shit in the background that will change color and throw up that flag.

here's my bks, maybe 8 months wear now

[panthermodern]

Looks great. More pics!

[dapper]

Those bks look sweeet! I agree with Panther, some more pics please

[corter]

Not a hell of a lot to show, but there's basically none of these out there to be seen. ALD Royal DarkTones at 3 months. Loads of pics...

the backpockets are hella ugly.. sorry about it

[BlueOctoberFan]

The detail shots show more shine than reality generally does. If your problem is just with ALD pockets, then that's too bad.

[Stacks]

i dislike the use of the word "hella" almost as much as I dislike those back pockets, BUT

I do think the jeans have an awesome hue and it's crazy how close and parallel your lap folds are.

I dunno, it's kinda refreshing to see something other than the same old same old. Denim looks nice.

When I first got the jeans, they were too small and didn't stretch as much as I'd hoped. It worked out for the best though since I've been able to wear them since losing a bit over 30 lbs.

[nickthechibi]

wait, you COULD fit the jeans, but a bit tight, then you lost 30 lbs and they fit good?

what? did you cut off a 30 lb tumor on your shoulder or what?

Samurai S5000BKs. 2.5 months of everyday wear. 1 initial cold wash, 1 cold soak, 1 cold wash with soap. X-posted in Samurai thread.

[poly800rock]

happy to see more bk's than mine!

[n0torious]

I love them. Now I want some S0500BKs! Dooooo it Samurai.

[opethrapture]

^^

That would be my dream pair!!

[corter]

you could just get a pair of bk's tapered, that's what i did. with the yen where it is these days i'd think it'd be just as much to get a pair of bks' from japan as it would from gordon, then have them tapered at htc.

Thanks for the comments.

They were actually very tight at the waist. Even fully stretched out they weren't comfortable to wear (the top button even started to tear away). But when I lost 30-35 lbs, that also took off about 3" from my waist and now they're perfect. I bought them before anyone knew anything about the sizing being different from the other Royals, so I had inadvertantly sized down about 4".

Here's my samurai 0500xx's, they're at just over 9 months of wear I think

Had their 4th wash last weekend

They're coming along, takes quite a few wears after washing to get the waist a little looser and comfy again though, maybe shoulda got a 30

Hoping to wear them for years to come, they're keeping their color quite well and have lots of life left in them

In a few months I'll probably start to rotate them with a new pair that I haven't decided on yet
