eldave- 45RPM's look amazing.

this is my first pair of raw denim that i've actually kept longer than a few weeks. give me feedback positive or negative.

The Jeans are looking solid but that shirt is even more awesome!

I'm surprised at how little the number of washes seem to matter for those 45rpms. The fading looks like it's about the same whether it's washed twice or fifteen times.

[la-vvoc]

hmmm those FHs didnt fade as much as I had hoped... im currently wearing a pair too since october (daily tho) and hope to get a harder fade after my first wash...

[dino might]

^they are pretty stubborn, my f310s are just starting to change... the first shot is pretty much exact color, maybe little lighter looking

f310s at some months:

(most symmetrical whiskering ive ever seen)

despite sagging these (and them being pretty damn fitted) the crotch has held up remarkably well, much better than i expected

[ndmhxc]

dino those truly are very symmetrical whiskers. i love the color on flatheads...

i was wondering if you had any pictures of the back of your 710's? i think i only saw a front shot... how are the combs and whatnot coming along?

[dino might]

nah, i dont have any decent shots of the 710s, i shouldve done that today with these, ill get to it soon, the combs on the 710s are peeking through, dont know if theyll show in a photo, maybe, theyre fading faster than those on the 310s though

[Knugget]

Did you hem those Trev? Or are you supaa tall?

Yea my 710's are also fading extremely fast. I just wish I could do alittle bit more physical activity than just sitting around at home and working retail/service in my jeans... weather just aint helping. My honeycombs look brand new compared to the front lap/whisker area. Im nearing 3 months on mine.

[dino might]

no hem, im pretty tall, 6 feet. but theyre no samurais with their inseam or anything either, shrank to 34"

mine are in such a nice stage, but yeah, the combs are probably the most lackluster part of them right now, thick denim not worn super tight, nature of the beast i guess

[lilldavid]

cross post anyone?

3 month 12 days old WH/Sufu 660 compared to 2 day old Eternal 811

[fatchino]

Lotsa knee fade for 2 days

[apocalypse later]

What the hell do you do in those to get those knee fades in two days? Eternals are some damn hard jeans to fade.

[Cameland]

Well considering he works at a denim store, im guessing he does a lot of kneeling down to put jeans or other clothes away. Just a guess though.

[lilldavid]

That and also we hem jeans in my shop so I do alot of measuring on my knees...

[allur3]

just started on these pair of new cures but heres the fit.

[Spastic_Koala]

Looks good

[sunkenshoes]

Fit like a pair of Standard's though.

[allur3]

yeah they're a bit big for me. i'm usually a 29 but i bought these in 30 cause they sold out of my size. any tips on getting extra wear on them without getting the dirk look?

[munkyballz]

If you're usually a 29 and got a 30 in the NC's, you bought them about 2 sizes too big...for the typical NC look any ways.

For extra wear, just wear them often and hard; however, I'm not sure what the dirk look is though.

[spacemanvt]

dirk look?!?

[bruised]

^^ good god man, you took all that time editing that pic, did really have to leave in the no shirt part?

ok denim nerds, what jean (tried to leave out most of the detials):

tiss LVC '47

lildave got closest.

[lilldavid]

Yay! should I be expecting a prize?

[allur3]

sorry i meant the dirty look cause i've noticed that a lot of apc's get this brownish tint after a lot of wear & I'm going for the clean white fade.

[selaviso]

^^^^^ wash them a lot

[ChaseDizzy]

just don't do anything dirty...don't wipe your hands on you pants, don't get food on them, don't fall down a lot...make sure a lot of the wear is from movement.

[Ahlvahroe]

hey serge, amazing as always. so are the jeans shops retired and the red moons up, cause as far as i know you are the only one with the red moon jeans, and i really want to see how those relatively unknown ones fade.
