[viv1984viv]

[40ozprophet]

size down. im liking the 90s btw.

[soundune]

thanks for the feedback on the edwin's guys & 40oz thanks for the props on the 90s

SO, fellas think they're a size to big...is there anything to do about it?

i can't return them (i bought them over a year ago in Germany) - i hear people "hot soaking" denim to shrink it. i suppose i can do that if it will work on these

...but in your opinion they aren't supper ill fitting because i'm pretty much stuck with them...

[UCD]

Sugarcane '47. Year and a month old. Lots and lots of washes.

after another wash...

[jubei]

niiiice... I remember those pair 6 months ago bc that was about the time I bought mine. they look great

[mwrenchd]

anyone show any wear on the PBJ blacks? interested to see some pics

I've worn mine quite a bit -- probably half the time the last 2.5 months. Alas, there is no visible wear yet.

Nothing like that. just a little bigger than people here (me included) seem to like their jeans to fit. they look fine on you. I'm not sure how much a hot soak will shrink them if you have already washed them, and if they are sanforized (anyone know?) then you're shit outta luck.

UCD - those canes look sweet!!!

I've worn my almost exclusively since I got them at the beginning of December and I still don't have any significant wear on mine, either. I haven't been wearing them particularly hard, though; just a lot of walking and such.

I actually washed mine real quick yesterday, just a little rinse in some hot water and Dr. Bronner's. I'm not all for holding out washing for the super contrasty fades, especially on a pair of black jeans, so I wasn't expecting much fading, and there wasn't. There was a tinge of color to the wash, but it seemed mostly like dirt rather than dye.

I can see, though, around the whiskers as well as the honeycombs where it is relatively darker and lighter, so as long as I stick with this for a while I think they are going to turn out great.

those canes are great. pics of the back?

[swifferman]

Levi's STF 501's

Not bad considering I had no idea what I was doing

1 year of wear, about 4 washes, probably average wear of twice a week

[Felix]

i know not that much evolution but the sun was out so i took some pics

SDA 103 - 3 month:

[Felix]

samurai s51019oz II ~1 month+

[viv1984viv]

the second two pics are a truer representation of the hue, particularly the shadded areas.

[CAFC]

pics of my okinawas, really liking the slub coming along.

And with adidas Gazelle Vintage. Sweet.

[watchman]

[HEWSINATOR]

UCD, it looks like you got Ryu to wear those 47s in. Look great.

[SoloC]

S0110XJ - No Flash Used

I decided to wash it the third time in 8 months today. Hope it will turn out great!

[Denim Phenom]

SoloC, those look real good.

I've been thinking about getting a pair of those.

[nairb49]

as requested:

better pics of my Sugarcanes, which I got mixed up, they are my Hawaii's, not okinawas.

the pictures aren't quite doing the slub justice.

[SoloC]

After wash

[arthur]

[malsponge]

[ktouran6923]

[Dick Danger]

Get a Lee, Lee repro.

[Kamikaze]

My APCs at 3 months. I have thick thighs so these fit pretty tight. These were worn on and off.

one mashine wash around channukah. i moved on to a few other jeans but i try to keep this in the mix as much as i can. Sorry about the cellphone camera quality....

[crisis]

UCD those Canes look great, it's good to see them coming along so well.

Here are my oni blues at 11 months, worn for around a little less than 3/4 of the time. 2nd wash. cross posted in the Oni thread

[watchman]

Onis and Sammies look great. I'm in the process of breaking in those S0110XJ's too, i'm pumped to see how they turn out.

[poly800rock]

one of the most underrated jeans last year were the S0110XJ's. I love those, always wanted to buy a pair...
