The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

[Jux]

The jeans look a lot different prob becuase of the amazing San Francisco sunshine were getting today. The jeans were covered in beer last night also...

n0torious - I really like the way they fit about 2 weeks ago. These things stretch like crazy. I bought them sz27 and I had to work to get the top button. Now I'm going to have to pick up a belt since they are starting to sag. Either way best $60 I've ever spent, Barney's CoOp sale.

Oyea I can barely notice the bootcut and the fraying of the belt loops dont seem to have any effect on the strength of the loops

Update: I just threw them into the wash with some Dr. Bonners for 30 mins with warm water because of the beer. New pics later this afternoon.

[knucks]

Yup, I wish they were not so slim. I had to size up on the waist to make room for my thighs, so I always have to wear a belt w/ my Crate. They're good jeans, that's for sure

[zweibel]

Johnbull SC-003 (one-wash) at about 5 months, daily wear. As you can see the color difference is quite striking, even though I've never washed them (unless rainstorms count).

[Crackerhead]

I loved the indigo colour on these so much that I went for a year and a half before the first wash! (And I didn't even water wash them - had them dry cleaned.) And these were my daily driver's - worn at least 5 times a week or more.

Now I've had them dry cleaned a few times, professionally wet cleaned once, and washed them twice.

The indigo barely went anywhere, though. It's been a good four years, and I'm still breaking them in!

[seanfromiran]

Awesome fades, but I don't know about those pockets.

[justinbaily21]

Great leg twists.

[watchman]

i think that they come like that

[Crackerhead]

Great leg twists.

Yeah, they came like that. The cut for those jeans were patterned off a 3-D model and were designed to ergonomically fit the human form. They're naturally very comfortable.

[artificialsky]

are you aware that you have one-foot-long hearts on the back of your jeans?

[Jux]

I get a true religion vibe off of them

+1. im sorry you have been wearing them for 4 years too...

[Crackerhead]

Unfortunately True Religion jacked a few Levi's RED designs from a collection of seasons and made a sloppy conglomerate of them, like with these ones from 2002. Before there was True Religion, there was Levi's RED.

Check the jeans that started this thread.

[hollaforadolla]

are those girl jeans? look at her nails

[justinbaily21]

The OP was banned and they are really lame jeans, unfortunately. Every time I click on this thread I think that it is very ironic that they started out this way.

[choice_genes]

love the original levis reds! I'm not a huge fan of those particular back pockets either (regardless of TR comparisons), but they did some other ones with different pockets. And yeah, the denim/fading is amazing. They were great jeans, wish I had picked some up at the time, but I didn't know what was what...

wow it is pretty obvious TR ripped Levis but just like TR those things are hideous

[blm14]

arguably every jean producer in the world has jacked levis at some point... People here bicker about which arcuate they like better and that was a levis thing too (yes yes other companies had it first maybe blah blah but levis made it endemic).

[lilldavid]

okey, progression of Nudie Even Steven Dry, I know I posted the first 4 pics before, but deleted the first message & I thought a reminder of how they looked was in order...

Brand new:

2 months:

3 months:

I've had to repair the back pockets, and busted the crotch so that has been repaired too.

They're coming along incredibly fast in my opinion...

[n0torious]

Ugh. Bell bottoms are horrifying.

[ang_kangkong]

Crackerhead—love the Levi's I still troll ebay looking for some Reds, but they're all used. Or the wrong style. Got the cheaper version of them the engineered, and I still think they're pretty cool.

[M.O.A]

those even stevens have a cool tint of blue to them. Makes me kinda want to get a pair but its just such a weird fit imo. How big is the leg opening?

[lilldavid]

I really like this fit leg opening on a pair of 30-32 is 16 inches

[knucks]

Those ES look good

[just be eesy]

lilldavid

Can you update pictures with you wearing them ? I'm curious how the fit works.

[joey_formal]

even stevens are looking good, i agree about the fit being a bit weird tough

[nettiemoore]

whoa those even stevens do look good and i like the wear on them.

ive stopped buying nudie stuff now but if i ever needed a new pair they will be those.

[Guest jeffvyain]

very impressed with the fit on those flat heads. update us in a couple months!

[iequalratings]

hey sidney how many inches did you lose on the inseam after the cold soak?

i did a warm/hot soak on my 3001s and lost about 3 inches.

[sidneylo]

^^ Thanks.

I knew about the inseam shrinkage, so I cold soaked for 2 hours. Lost 1.5-2" on the inseam. It'll probably shrink some more after my next soak (which could be a long time from now.)
