The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

[partytaco]

Someone here said the folks at the store said they are cut slimmer than the Jomons

i tried on the sorahiko slims the other day and from i could tell they are the exact same cut as the OLD slim jomons. the NEW jomons from what an employee told me are cut a little wider.

[ddohnggo]

hmmm. are the sorahiko slims considerably slimmer than the current sorahiko cut?

[Guest jeffvyain]

ohhhhhhh man all these jap jeans are gonna be beatiful. those are looking real nice at 3 months...and those sorahikos are the shit. i'm going to go do a couple cartwheels or something out of excitement

[partytaco]

i feel like the thigh is the same and i always thought the thigh on my sorahikos was kind of slim but the new slims have a very slight taper unlike the straightleg standard Sorahikos. i'm going to get mine this weekend i think and when i do i'll post pictures and then everyone on will say they all look the same like they always do. i was considering some Studio D'Artisan sd-103s but after trying on the Sorahiko slims and then seeing how nicely my old Sorahikos faded I figured why bother. Oh and thanks everyone for the compliments.

[ddohnggo]

i'm definitely interested in seeing those sorahiko slims. i'm looking at the sd-103's for some time, but the thought of being able to get the sd-1177 makes me think otherwise.

[synthi]

ddohnggo, just to let you know incase you don't, the D-1177 is cut quite full with a high rise and thus I suspect is quite different compared to the 103's in terms of fit.

btw the Sorahikos and NDG's are setting this thread alight - props to PT and WTYM.

SD 103 3 months no wash

Wow, those look a LOT nicer than mine. (And I've worn mine for almost 5 months...)

[digital_denim]

Good work jinx. You really worked those fast. Are those snug on you? You're whiskers bunch up a lot like mine. Keep postin down the line.

[Guest Fade to Black]

awesome sorahikos, partytaco. Those pics have inspired me to wear the shit out of mine for the upcoming year.

horriblyjollyjinx those jeans are lookin good for 3 months.

[crisis]

beautiful sorahikos and SD's, can't believe you have that much wear on your SD's after 3 months. My canes are nowhere near that and i'm pretty abusive with them

[horriblyjollyjinx]

thanks everyone. As a matter of fact I don't really wear my jeans hard, mostly walk/sit/sometimes bicycling. They wear fast, I could see wear after the first one or two days, very little but I could see the change. I know they are rope dyed, maybe the threads have a big uncolored core, and the fact that they are so dark when new makes the wear more noticeable?

They are quite a snug fit which is why the whiskers look like they do.

I'm lacking a bit of thigh wear, hopefully they will lighten up soon too!

minya, you should post pics of yours, they should look great I think.

[sach]

my jeans got dirty,

[sach]

so I had to wash them. warm water, inside out, a little bit of detergent

three months of wear

[Guest Fade to Black]

nice honeycombs, sach.

[Chicken]

now that's what i'm talking about! sach, it's great that you're not afraid of wearing and dirtying your jeans, and that you're getting great results from it.

[sach]

thanks for the comments. they are regular dry blue slim jims. as for the honeycombs, I took meticulous care of them. they were starched every week and when I finally washed my pair they were so deeply creased that they are still intact after 40 minutes in hot water

[poly800rock]

it is 1 month vs 2 1/2

sd 103's at around 2 1/2 months...of serious wear, coming along slowly but surely..really love the fit of these jeans, kind of wish i picked up another pair in tokyo...but whatever...will wash in 1 year....

was starched, then soaked to get rid of the starch..as i don't want them too unevenly distressed...

I guess its the lighting in the pics, but they really look like a greycast.

[jwied82]

Heres some pics i took of my greycats slim jims They are maybe 5 months old, but ihavent worn them everyday. been wearing them really hard lately though. Wore them on a camping trip over the weekend and they got really dirt.. rolled around in the sand in them, took a nap on the beach, mountain biked a little in them, all of which which really broke them in, and now them seem to be fading and changing more rapidly.

[__Nicholas]

brand new ...

nothing special, but this is just after about a week and a half of wear on these wranglers. i took off the tags and changed the back pocket stitching a bit. sorry for the crappy pics.

[__Nicholas]

like i said nothing special ... but for 20 dollars, im stoked!

[will_i_am]

your belt is rad. forreal.

half selvage (can anyone tell me what the point of half selvage is?)

about 3 1/2 months i guess

coming along well i think

[YoungPunch]

nice lees andrew! I don't know the purpose of half selvage, maybe to cut down production costs? I'm sure serge, ringring and paul T know......

i thought i could show you my girlfriends acne raw. its the mac raw version.

worn for about 9 months before wash. remember its superslim and stretch.

unfortunally they are now really breaking a lot in beneath crotch. due to thigh wear.

working on my new and cheap edwin nashville. got them for 70Usd, brand new with tags. but they are a bit slim for me, so it takes some time getting used to.

this is at day 1 with my also brand new visvim bag.

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e384/Deuser/visvim1.jpg

damn, i need some more loose jeans for summer, theese edwin kills me

[PG2G]

Those Acne look VERY nice. You actually convinced a girl to wear the same jeans for 9 months with no wash?

[eastcoastrider27]

Those Evisus look really great.

Visual evidence that Evisu makes great jeans (Japanese denim at least). It's just that damn gull thing that is such a turn off.

BTW, to have pictures in your post you have to manually type the image tags.
