something is going on with the lens on the back picture...it was really humid, directly after rain in 90 degree weather, so I think that its condensation. anyways...here it is.

Gorgeous, erk. Love the colors, gradient, and texture in the dark areas. I wish I could pull off that type of cut, because I do love cinch-backs.

anybody have the sugar cane 1947 slim with evo??

It is beautiful fabric - the 1915, and the 44, seem to be the highlights of LVC range, they all come out different but great.

RRL Slims purchased 7/1/07, washed a lot

Warehouse x sufu #175 @ a long time and some washes. I got heavily rained on the other day and had to slap these on as back-ups until my others dried. I forgot how comfortable they were and fell in love with them again as soon as I put them on. I even wore them to work today.

Since the end of the contest I think they have been washed once or twice. They still see use once in a while for working around the house and general hanging out. They even hiked the Grand Canyon in March. I think I’ll be wearing them a lot more until my Ooes come in.

I demand fit pics. Now.

I demand fit pics. Now.

end of year fit where they really got beat is here: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/W61Lr0CZ9SichJMdeFqC2g?feat=directlink

but I've gained weight since then so they're tighter in the waist and thighs now, which is kind of a bummer. Time to get off my ass! There's another pic in that gallery as well.

[Stacks]

everything about those are great, and you didn't even need to tweak contrast to show it.

my sams are hang drying right now after a machine wash and the water dripping out is blue, wondering if I should give them a second wash.

[salaami]

those 660s are fucking madness, it's a beautiful thing when you fall in love with a pair all over again...

[gramps]

Mmhmm, good lookin out on the 660s.

Here are some quick layman's shots of my 864s, taken with a borrowed camera. Freshly washed, and just back from an umpteenth round of repairs.

The color in the first is probably the most accurate. Cheers.

[watchman]

my hawaiis... worn for a year i think, pretty consistently. going in for repairs, time for pics. more to come when they're done.

[chantheman]

never see enough pairs of hawaiis

[Chris-Craft]

Lvc1947s

[sense.]

ex-post from samurai jeans thread

got these back from repair about a month ago. (schaffers ftw)

i want to wear them hard again but they've gotten tight as hell.

about 6 months of wear. no wash 2 soaks.

details on the repair soon

[sense.]

and another one. ex post from sam thread

been wearing these most recently, crotch repair really needed.

6 months also, many soaks, one wash.

not to proud of how these are turning out, combs are pretty weak and they fit alot looser than i'm used to.

[BrokenGlass]

Here are my rag & bone RB11's I got back in April '06

They had a cold dr. bronners soak at 6 months and an inside out machine wash with woolite for darks at about a year, since then I have no idea.

Towards the beginning.

And now

(my newish apc petite standards in there for color reference / good measure)

[sixsixtie]

never see enough pairs of hawaiis

I got a pair for my buddy when i was in japan. Ive got the okinawas and were having a head to head contest.

I think ill win since he has some weird hang up about wearing the same pair of jeans every day,

[Alex3000]

Well seeing your 21oz vx's you've got it in the bag hombre.
