The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

[Superstar]

811's once again prove to show off a perfect fade everytime...

[eequalsmcbrill]

[khoiphan92]

[lamb.]

Nice, what model are those?

[khoiphan92]

[lamb.]

Cool, i'm looking forward to seeing the before and after pics.

[ExileOnMainSt]

Eternal fucking 811s eh,

i like how dark they are still, amazing!

Ive noticed the left hand twill of the jins to be different from my left hand SDAs, almost like the colour falling isn't vertical, it looks almost horizontal or crosshatch (on the ass)

Jins look amazing too.

I figured I was gonna give u guys a pair without a ring. Dunno if I'll ever wear these again though. The waist has stretched so bad...

[kenthenoob]

have you tried hot soaking to shrink them back?

[Maistro]

I didn't soak them. i drenched the waist in the shower for a few minutes. The guy at the store told me not to soak them since he thought they'd lose a lot of color.

[Tyler Durden]

why no use cinch?

[Maistro]

I do use the since... I just don't like the feeling of the fit now compared to when I first bought them. Which is kinda wierd.

[kenthenoob]

you don't lose that much indigo from soaking... that would be washing.

a simple hot soak wouldn't lose you that much indigo. you'd still have a lot to work with.

and you want to be able to wear them, right?

[Maistro]

I'd love the wear them again. I just took the advice from the guy who owned the store where I bought them. And he told me not to soak at all. But I guess I'm gonna wear my LVC's for another six months and after that I'm gonna contine with my Nashville or buy a pair of SDA. So I got it figured out. These are prolly gonna have to wait for a while. Still love them though.

[thaiison]

The fading is amazing on these!

what exactly are these again? they're lee's right>

[Maistro]

Yes sir, they're Lee 1934's.

[the Repeater]

They are fucking awesome jeans, yo.

Just wash them inside out, no dryer. They will shrink right up and fit again. You can lose some of that roll, too.

[poly800rock]

no washes, a few top half warm soaks to get the stretching back. ~5 months or so of solid wear.

[heflys]

Good to see these again. Nice progression.

[apocalypse later]

That's it, my next denim purchase after this BiGxWarehouse contest is PRPS. Those look amazing Poly.

[fndmybetterhalf]

damnnnnnn poly. assuming the first pic is an accurate color representation...i love how the prps's are fading in a greyish hue.

[permanent]

[lamb.]

poly, i really like those PRPS, I wonder what they'll look like after a wash?

[40ozprophet]

beautiful color on the denime. solid stuff. Nice poly, the lap fade has really come along quite nicely.

[khoiphan92]

Heres the fit on my s5000's. I like them alot. I soaked them twice to get the shrinking out of the way

I'll quote these in awhile

[jf30]

Eternal 811's, 10 months, 2 washes, several soaks

[Deus]

Update on my current Evisu.

about 4 months of wear. no soak no wash.

[beatle]

Eternals- satisfaction 100% - always

[kian]

Thought I'd post a quick update of my MIJ 19cm black raws with +/- 70 days of wear.

Taken with my cell so excuse the quality:
