The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

[poly800rock]

just found these on my comp. i long since sold these. these came from coldrice via ebay, worn for about a solid 4 months, washed like 3 or 4 times within that time. but these were sold on ebay a year or so ago. I think these are denime 66's, i think, really have no idea.

[horriblyjollyjinx]

Those are Chinese Denime.

[tweeds]

^what gives it away?

and how different are they from japanese denime goods

also your post count is currently 1,947

thought i should mention it since this is the evolution thread

and not too long ago the sugar cane 47s were the hottest thing on the superfuture block

the blue tab? i know that's export. but wasn't entirely positive if that meant it was chinese/HK. hmm.

good call with the 1947

[superBobo]

not my wear, but cool fade and an example of nice fades on cheap denim. Picked up these in a thrift store, levis 590.

[edmond]

hey thats cheating! hehe kidding yeah your right those are nice fades..

[hysteric]

ive seen some nice fades at thrift stores but they dont usually keep such nice colour, cool find

[Chicken]

great find, bobo.

better than any distressing job i've ever seen.

[superBobo]

thanks guys

its weird that they really isnt in need of much repairs. one of the pockets (around the red tab) is a bit loose, but otherwise the denim is in really good condition. Im really curious of who had these and what he did in them to make them look like these without being in ragged and torn.

[LIVENUDEGIRLS]

I was under the impression that the blue tab meant they were from the UK.

my APC New Standards

First wash

about 5 months of wear almost everyday

Washed in the washing machine with woolite black, then hung dry

[brightbill]

Yep, yep, yep.

[Ahlvahroe]

are the back pockets stitched or painted? cause i would think paint would wear out more/faster

[poly800rock]

but they're screen printed on there right? those are harder to fade. It's the hand drawn ones that come out after a while.

[M.O.A]

meh

not a fan of those pockets...the buckleback looks neat though

[Charlie Delta]

I'm confused now, is the buckleback supposed to go over the patch???

About the backpockets, I believe my old made in Italy ones had screenprinted logo's that were then painted over aswell

[brightbill]

Sho' nuff, screen printed back pockets. I'm kinda irked that they have done nothing except get dirty. A little over the top, but I think I like this over most Evisus (double gull). And they give a big, blaring contrast to my other raw jeans - black PBJ-005s, and the upcoming Warehouse contest.

Anyway, I'll give myself a pat on the back if/when the pocket designs do finally come apart.

Edit @ CottonDuck - never painted over, I don't think. And I never thought much about the buckeback covering the patch 'til now... but it is a little odd.

Funny story about buying them... with one of my first paychecks, I went to Nordstrom Rack to get some "nice" jeans and narrowed my choice down to these or some black bootcut Sevens. I had no idea what selvage was, and actually thought these were black, too (didn't have the eye for indigo yet) and BARELY chose this pair, and actually regretted the choice for a few months 'til colder months came and I started breaking them in.

[Cameland]

So recently I thought I'd retire my ralf but realised I had so many contests and community events coming up there would be no point trying to start a new project so I handwashed them and continued to wear them - I hope to fully retire them at the end of this month or when the world tour FH come into my possesion.

This is a picture I took today of my evisu 2000s and my straight RRDS.

[nikesber]

wow you got some crazy knee wear!

[buda]

Yep, yep, yep.

these look good to me.... i wish i could get mines the look like that,!the more i wear them i still dont have honeycombs! i guess they are just to big but i own to pair of evisus and its the same thing no wear at all.....

[beatle]

Hey Came..any back shots ?? Thanks...

[hysteric]

1001xx at about 4 months and 4 washes, a month of landscaping really beat them in

[Chicken]

^ it does have that one wash every month look, kind of like ryu's jeans. very blue.

[SpillSuppressor]

Since I just soaked a pair of new jeans, I figured I would wash these ones while I was at it.

S5000VX second wash at about 10 months.

[fadingblue]

^^^goddamn those are beautiful. its making me rethink if my ill be getting skulls

[dave023]

beautiful sammies!

[Clench Million]

Those look very nice... but be honest, you sandpapered those whiskers on the theighs? Either that or you suffered a panther attack?

[SpillSuppressor]

This came up last time I posted these. No sandpaper, no photoshop, no pinching. It's how I sit and cross my legs...I'll even take a picture of how the denim creases when these are dry.

[fadingblue]

this is fucking impressive, i had to bump these.
