this is from another forum, but look at these, how do they look so good after one wash after 7 months of wear?

here are my APC NS after wash (7months)

i filled my bath tub with very hot water, a bottle of vinigar and a ton of salt and let them sit for about a hour. After that put them in the washer on hot/warm for a hour and fifteen.

judging by his handle... maybe he plays tennis in his jeans?

...but i think he put his balls in the wrong place though.

edit: datasupa beat me to it

[rome1]

looks rather strange with his two little nuts hangin out the back of his jeans. airflo for court play??

[Carelli]

I'd like for mine to look something like that minus the holes. Vinegar and salt?

[Charlie Delta]

imho, they don't look good at all, but that's just me.

And Coldrice, great job on the 45rpms!

im gonna be nice and say A, C... they dont look bad but theyre not great either. but considering theyre APC's, ive seen much much much better wear on people after 4 months, so not impressed at all.

and poly, those are seriously the nicest BK's ive seen in awhile. awesome.

[klaxtone]

Wow, Poly those Sammies really have faded nicely. I haven't really broken into mine yet. But it seems the S5000bk will fade quickly, since I have long hem, I creased them sometimes whilst walking and you can see the fades.

I'm working on my Ironhearts atm so don't get time to wear my sammies.

[will_i_am]

jesus poly.

where do you get the time do fade all those jeans like that.

amazing.

[edmond]

[robobeng]

LVC 505s, pics make the jeans look lighter than they are.

Wow.

Please post more giant pictures of your worn crotch!

They're exactly Cheap Monday Tight Unwashed.

[__3xL]

I really like those levi 505 thus far robo .

I can only imagine with more time n wear how sexy those are going to be

[Double D]

oh wow.

the dirt honey combs are very nice.

a wash would ruin them, but they look really interesting as is.

There's this guy in Brighton who works on furniture outside of his shop most days... he has the most insane honeycombs on his work jeans, caked with sawdust and resin with blue denim peeking out of the troughs of the combs.

[Guest]

Unwashed.

Thanks mate, didn't see the original question. You are correct

[s3lam]

My first pair of raw denim ever.

They were flare glenn's that were tapered a bit at the opening.

These were originally bought in dec 2004 and were not washed until oct 2006. I have not worn them in about a year because now I have too many other jeans and don't have time for these in my rotation.

The fading process was very slow as you will see form the pictures(or atleast in my opinion. My APC NS faded more quickly in one year than my flare glenns in almost 2 years.

Here are the pics:

Here are some whiskers

The honeycombs never really faded. What you see are just the creases from almost 2 years of wear.

Needed major crotch repair at about 1.5 years

Not much going on at the back pockets

Let me know what you guys think!

[Thorns]

Nudie denim under 12 ounces... sucks. Anything that becomes gunmetal grey after one wash is crap denim.

[dismalfuture]

Dior selvedge, 13 months. The train tracks are there but since the denim is light and didn't shrink, no real crazy ribbon effect... Indigo fell quickly but they stayed pretty dark overall...

[hype_killz]

^ sick...i love how you can see the button wear

seatiger...posted some pics of his 13month levis stf in the stf thread and they are amazing!!!!

[eastcoastrider27]

Which is another reason why sanforized denim sucks. Nice looking jeans though.

[M.O.A]

agreed

i should post pics of my diors.

the thigh fade is pretty ill

i have washed em like 8 times or something....

[hollaforadolla]

do diors where out fast? is it possible to keep the same pair over a lifetime without heavy use (ie: no skating, rough work, or any those shenanigans)? the reason why i ask is cause im thinking about getting another just in case pair in case kva randomly phases them out. if my current pair will last me a very long while, i dont have to drop another 360 on a new pair.

[dino might]

theyre still jeans, wearing them without doing anything crazy in them wont make them fall to pieces. i have a pair that i wear on occasion, mostly dressier kinda stuff, theyre not the slightest bit worn, if thats what youre asking.. im not exactly sure though

[Bona Drag]

i'll take a perfect fit over train tracks any day

just me

those look incredible regardless

dismal, is that solid wear?

how many washes?

in case kva randomly phases them out.

i wish we could get a straight answer on this

i've heard they're not going anywhere, but i've also heard we shouldn't be so sure about that

then again, if we're talking about a couple seasons from now i guess no one can be certain
