The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

[stuntastic]

VERY nice Corbin. Both pairs on the last page are lookin awesome.

Not bad on the G-stars. They are VERY hard to fade.

I had some Dexter Pants goin on for 4 and a half months. Washed them and had no results except for losing my whiskers and honeycombs. I got sick of them and sanded away.

They came out alright, I'll take a picture later after I finish moving my stuff around.

[Corbin Law]

thank you

are all G stars that hard ot fade, because ive seen many pictures of G star raws after 7-9 months with barely any fading

[prufrock]

maybe they have resin on them to keep them fresh looking?

[Geowu]

Hawk, your jeans look very nice!

[Chicken]

geowu, i know you're in a temperate climate and all, but how are your denims coming along?

[Geowu]

what does the pommade do?

[Corbin Law]

the same pommade that is used in hair.

I think G-stars are very hard to fade.

Ive worked on two pairs, a straight leg and the Dexters.

Neither had anything coming out of them.

I really like the cut on the dexter pants. A pair that I shoulda kept looking crisp, and worked on a selvege pair instead.

Oh well...

Hopefully my LEEs come out decent...

Already partially ruined, got gum on the knee (couldnt find that damn thread on how to get it off!) and got it soaked at the beach today...

I'll post some pics in 3 or 6 months.

as a replacement for starch? helps fade the denim?

i dont get why he did it?

[Astérix]

He wanted to experiment to see what would happen

[sarlo]

i used murrays on my greycast and they got a lil yellow shine (the hair pommade is yellow ) so i tried it.. and also the denim becomes a little stiffer just like when you use starch

[newrooky]

Hmm, i find that strange, cause i have a pair of low rise slim boot cut g-stars and they are fading as quickly as my APC's have, considering how much i haven't worn them. Must just depend on specifics

lvc 47

8 months

4 tub soaks

[sneakeraddict]

good work on those Levis my man!!

now, if you iron them once you've soaked, you will get nice train tracks...

[poly800rock]

lvc's look greatr!

[hysteric]

those lvc' s look really nice, good work

[odakyu]

LVC have been producing the best washed jeans!!! i understand that almost all jeansmakers use sandpaper of buffer to create the wash for their jeans......but LVC seems to be able to create the fades without sandpaper

[choice_genes]

@ lancelot - nice work on the LVC's man! They' look great. Welcome to this evil place...

Nudie Straight Sven non selvage in 2.5 months of wear.. they stretched from a 31 to about a 33 so without the belt, they fall down below my ass

[andrewfuncrew]

never really posted a legit frontal

almost 4 months on the 101z

no wash no soak no dry cleanz

just ball sweat

[jun187]

^^how are urs so shiny

[minya]

Raw denim is shiny.

[tweeds]

yeah but that must be either a hell of lot of dirt and sweat, or some polish i haven't discovered.

[damnIam]

My canes looks the same way, real shiny. It is from pure nasty sweat. I wear them to work at the laundry mat only because the whole place smells like fabric softener so no one can pick up on the funk. But believe me, if I wore them to the office on my day job I would probably get asked to leave.

[Whodinihimself]

I hear that the 101z's are resin coated and baked. That would explain the sheen...itll take twice as long to get noticeable contrasting but itll be worth the wait.

they weren't shiny when i purchased them

that shimmer is truly sweat and funk related

some girl i work with claims she can smell them

i'm caring obviously

[swooc]
