The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

[iamstarwars]

I'm starting to think that all 811s will become holy grails if worn long enough. Mine are coming along nicely too...

Potentially, most jeans look amazing when worn over a long period of time. Just look at the 3 years Sorahikos. People just give up too early, or move on to something else.

How long have you been wearing yours?

i agree here completely

[DjBooduh]

decided to soak my APCs today. About a year on them. Soaked once and washed once. This is its second soak.

[stuntastic]

2000...

The fading patterns and contrast reminded me of lightning bolts. Very nice.

[andrew2]

those are beautiful photos

[dino might]

that fisheyes intense. cool looking pictures. look like theyre on top of the world. jeans are week as fuck for a year though

daaaamn 2000db - those eternals are where it's at. Definitely in my top 5 of all jeans in the evolution thread. Don't sell them. You need to pass them down as a family heirloom or something!

Thanks. They do also look way better in person, my camera doesn't get the colors very right and the pics are slightly dark. They're cool jeans and I basically lived in them for a year and traveled a lot with them, but I hate keeping things around and I don't even keep pictures of trips, let alone jeans.

[DjBooduh]

thanks. Yeah it was off and on for a almost a year. Only on the weekends durring the year due to uniform at school

[dino might]

shit, alright i feel for yeh then. i have to same uniform issues, fucking dragggg

[watchman]

Best page in months and months...

Definitely. Eternals look incredible man, those jeans are the reason I bought mine about 10 months ago, its great to see them again.

[Denim Phenom]

i was longboarding in them pretty regularly for a few months, and then I gave it up due to injuries so I was relatively lethargic in these for the last 6 months or so. Very happy with them regardless...I believe we're at 6 washes now.

[Leopold]

Probably not the right thread, but how can I tell if my LVC 505 '67's are fake?

The reason that I am wondering is because the denim feels quite soft compared to other jeans :confused:

Pics

[beatle]

Love the fisheye...nice glasses...Could you take a pic of a car ( front..) want to see how it bends horizonal lines...

[Cameland]

Yeah those fisheye pictures were awesome.

Well I've had them for probably 5 months but I'd say they have about 2 months worth of wear. I have a lot of jeans and I _cannot_ wear the same pair of pants to work every day...

[blm14]

Actually I think the APCs in those fisheye pics are rather nice looking. The lap fades are really cool and subtle in the way they sort of swim in what looks like vert fading on the lap. It's really boring if everyone's fades look the same and those jeans look good to me.

[theLorax]

is there a PC program that can turn a pic into fisheye? maybe photoshop?

[Superstar]

^ yeah, photoshop can do it...

[Superstar]

So, gave the ol' Ande Whalls a second wash, and look how they turned out..

the white and grey stains on the thigh is paint...

[joey_formal]

those ande's look awesome, love the way the thumbs up are breaking in

[jubei]

interesting... that's probably how my RRLs are gonna look. looks like there wasn't too much fading on the thighs, but your hoenycombs are super crispy!

[Superstar]

actually i was kinda stunned that nothin more happened to the thighs, i have been skating them, cleaved lumber in them, carrying heavy boxes (rested them on my thighs while carrying), but nevertheless they seem to hold up...

[choice_genes]

Superstar - diggin those andes, you got some nice comb action going on. I'm still not sold on the back pockets, but each to his own!

I slipped and fell while running down a muddy hill today, thought I'd post the 'evolutionary effects' on my dukes (with that said, they're soaking in the washer with a dirty pair of chucks right now, so the evolution may only have been temporary...) (EDIT - pic taken with flash to show the mud better):

[Cameland]

haha ive slipped in mud in my jeans before as well but you gotta love your fatter then fat selvage. awesome.

super nice. how long have you had them and how many washes? are those kings that you tapered a bit?

[ktouran6923]

yes they are as you can tell by the fatter selvedge from the tailor tapering them.

[Cameland]

they're not kings, they are dukes that have been tapered.
