Hi Lukenstein

Pictures of my first pair of raw denim. It's been over 2 years since I started the raw adventure, and I'm glad I made that discover. It totally changed the way I look about clothes. I now care way much more where the clothing were made, where the fabric come from. Were the people who made my goods well paid and have appropriate life conditions? I can, in a way, say that raw denim changed me and my opinion on many things. I even met awesome people because of it !

 

APC Petit standard. 365 days, 1 hand-wash.

 

I had a crotch-blow out because of the non-wash and bicycling. The backpocket was destroyed by a fall I made skateboarding. I used the leftover of my hem to repair it, by myself. It was the second time I touched a sewing machine (the first one was hemming this pair). I had ton of fun, even if the result is "ugly".

 

The fading isn't really beautiful or impressive. But this pair has a real meaning to me, unfortunately my thighs outgrow the tight fit of the cut.

Hey fellas. Forgot to take good details of the time etc on these jeans, I am guessing 9-10 months and about 6-7 washes.

 

[andewhall]

Me again duuuudes. The Grizzly I have been wearing for 2 and half years, 11 washes in total. I try and wear it as much as possible, it's been a hot summer so didn't see much action in the last few months though.

Here's some progress on my 883. I noticed some crotch holes starting to form and I knew they would shrink more as they were only one-wash. I figured I'd give them a ride through the machine with no detergent on hot, delicate cycle to get the extra shrinkage out before I get them repaired. I'm at 5 months

After - lighting was different
