The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

[Serge d Nimes]

Actually the lining is 45% wool, 25% cotton, 20%acrylic, 10% polyamide. So much for being an exact reproduction! Also I am 99% certain that it was dyed with synthetic indigo. I believe the denim is only 11 oz. I soaked mine once, then washed it once in a machine with no soap, and once in a sink with Dr Bronners. I didn't get much shrinkage. I have long arms, so I was worried it would come out too short. I may wash it soon, but may not. you can see I have developed some seatbelt wear on the left sholdier that looks great. I am gonna have to get a right-hand drive car to work the other side!

looks great serge

ive never heard of jean shop classics before

but they look like they have a nice tone to them.

[40ozprophet]

Well, I dont know if any of you remeber that big roll of denim i posted a while back, but ive been working on it during the weekends and i have some almost-finished-spy-shots for ya.

(as you can see i dont have the waistband on yet)

Should be finished by next Sunday! much thanks to Ande who has helped me along a bit.

[Bijan]

Cool! Good looking pocket bag material, too.

[__3xL]

My LVC 47 501s after 4 months of wear and no washes. Enjoy !

[M.O.A]

a couple quickies. Ill take some more decent ones when i get the lighting

diors on their 4th month...just washed em for the third time

pbj's going on like a 1.5 months or so. Not really exact. Anywyas, soaked but no washes since raw.

[nettiemoore]

^hey are those the AI on you? the stiching makes me think they are but i might be wrong.

[seatiger]

The pbj crotch is giving way at 1.5mths?

[watchman]

The diors are looking good man. Are you rotating just those two? The pbj's seem to be breaking in nice

[PG2G]

^hey are those the AI on you? the stiching makes me think they are but i might be wrong.

Those are XX-005, afaik. I believe they use the same color stitching, the AI's just stands out more because its so damn thick

i dont like the fit here, something about not filling out the jeans at the ass and the big pockets.. makes it look like you've got a granny ass..

[Shorty Long]

I guess those fools over at Levi lied then, because my jacket came with all of the tags and one of them said "100% natural indigo"

the 47's are anti fit. They are supposed to have some extra room here and there

[mr fluffernutter]

Looks like he's way too fucking skinny for 501 though.

in my opinion

oh ok thanks.

[M.O.A]

oh i agree. All i was saying is that the fit is supposed to be like that....

[M.O.A]

couple more

[HEWSINATOR]

Pics of my eternals after thier first hard wash are coming soon. Drying now. As I said in the 811 thread, they shrunk alot (I just tried them on when damp) which is not good for me, and suprising after all the very hot soaks I did before this.

[joey_formal]

PBJs are looking damn good

[justinbaily21]

Yeah, those are amazing. Beautiful denim on those PBJ's. Great job with them so far.

[zehero]

pictures like these make me glad i chose the PBJs over the eternals. fucking awesome if mine start looking like those.

[Serge d Nimes]

Wow, maybe yours is from a different series than mine. The only tag mine came with (other than the garment tag) is a book telling about the jacket. give you your email and I will send you a pic of it. What type of tags did yours come with and do you know when it was made? I remember Paul T saying that the only thing made with natural indigo was the the oldest blue jeans reproduction. I believe they were named after the mine where they were found.

Cheers, Joel

APC New Standards- 8 Months.

I could only get a good picture of the lap, pretty true to color.

[b_mang]

[JohnnyRed]

Icarus - nice! THe whiskers on that look fucking sweet

Jux - post some front pics. The honeycombs aren't too defined, but I'd be curious to see the lap

[Icarus]

nice icarus. how many times did you wash so far?

10-15 times thus far.

[artificialsky]

dizonites always get superior fades compared to their ozawan counterparts.

[n0torious]

Jux, how do you like the fit on those crates? They look nice.
