The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

[ThatsMyName]

I dont think I would want a taper leg anymore but regardless I have to find somewhere with a size 28. Now that I think about it I have probably done more than jsut ride and walk- althought I ride an average of 10 miles daily give or take a few days. I have ripped up a few floors, built some furniture for my apartment and I try to do some freelance work which usually leads to carrying and moving shit. I might go for the 0710's even with the taper becuase their size 28 is pretty close to the measurements of my NS's now so that would be good. I'll let you all know what I get. thanks for help.

these are looking nice

[beatle]

Yap - some great looking jeans you have there...I find nothing wrong with posting a link for ebay ...Of course it would be nicer to give the people on here some advantage by putting them directly on the market - but that's just me...

[ThatsMyName]

I put them up on supermarket- and also if someone on here is the winner (superfuture) I will take 5 bucks off total price of jeans. (10 if you win both obviously).

[beatle]

That sounds great....

[overmind1632]

Cheep- I was posting those here to show them before they arent mine anymore. Gimme I am selling them so i can get some loot for new jeans and because they have just been sitting in my closet so I could work on the following. Here are my current jeans which are new standards and not for sale. These got less washing and probably more active wear than the cures had gotten by this time.These also got an extremely cold lake wash.

WOWOW those look amazing, I love how the dirt color adds to the fade which brings a lot of charcter and uniqueness

[peteyross]

Holy crap -- are those jeans for sale?

[HEWSINATOR]

Nice fade on the APCs and RRLs

Meda, what is going on with your fly?

[edmond]

howd you make em stand up like that?

[ThatsMyName]

these jams are 19oz and jsut out of a soak so they are stiff as a board

[evilgeniusdan]

My Ande Whalls did the same thing. Have fun breaking them in for the first week

[edmond]

mine didnt go like that when i tried doing it.. i have 5 sams none of them can stand like that jesus

[rome1]

wtf??? let um air dry overnight and there stiff as a board.

[constant struggle]

my flatheads were that stiff pre soak

[dicksonoffonda]

i wish my lvcs could stand up after first soak

aiye

[heflys]

Damn heavy-weight denim. I believe my current lot of jeans are too puss to stand like that. Soak or no soak. One day though..... Btw, I didn't realize that Flat Heads were that stiff.

[CHUNGY]

nudie RRDS worn for 1 year, soaked for 1 hour in vinegar+water, and then put them in the washer for about 20 minutes with a little bit of detergent and hung dry.

can't really capture the real color with the camera i have now, but here are a couple photos in different lighting.

[calvin1663]

why the vinegar with the soak?

[LaiShin]

why the vinegar with the soak?

It's to minimize indigo loss, mainly to attain high contrast fading. But it's super-old school. I doubt anyone else are doing it nowadays.

Personally, I think it's just a myth. Like adding salt.

[seems to work for him though]

[Whodinihimself]

^^^ not exactly

Adding vinegar to water is used to kill the bacteria...as it is a natural antiseptic...Its a good way to clean jeans without having to use much agitation, which contributes to indigo loss...and once vinegar fully evaporates it doesn't leave a vinegary smell so you jeans are clean in hygienic (the most important) respects and they wont lose alot of indigo from machine washing or vigorous hand washing..

[chantheman]

so can you just soak them in vinegar water or should you run them through the washing cycle?

[askivans]

APC New Cures 3 months old no wash.
