[ChaseDizzy]

Can't wait to see the fading on that..

[spacemanvt]

i really really want those 007s now. if they ever restock i must kop.

[JFleshman]

Your explosive warp threads on the left back-pocket made me naseous. That isn't an everyday thing to see...

Other than that, the jeans look very nice.

Iron Heart 634s.

A lot of washes...

[chantheman]

[Chicken]

bikers fade mane.

[chantheman]

that would have been my guess.

[dino might]

fuck bikes.

[la-vvoc]

not to mention the seat fade on the ass. intense.

[kenthenoob]

that's because when bikers get cold, they soil themselves to stay warm.

Last update was back in August of 2006 (http://www.superfuture.com/supertalk/showthread.php?p=160499#post160499). I originally got these Studio D'Artisan SD-003's back in March of 2006 and wore them heavily all the way til February of 2007, when I got a pair of RPM Jomons. Thought I'd post some pics of what the SD-003's look like now...

the intense slub fade, and the contrast between the worn areas and the uncrocked ones makes these very intriguing to me. i would love to see someone wear these for an extended period of time(like 2-3 years) or maybe do it myself. the more i see, the more i like. its an indigo and slub overdose.

[chantheman]

[selaviso]

gunpwdr very nice jeans.

cotdamn i love the SDA arcs. every other repro, i don't care about their damn arcs but I would pay extra $$$ for SDA originals

[ExileOnMainSt]

oh boy those SDA 003s put mine to shame, you ever notice how quick the pockets fade?

damn those look very nice

[lloydapalooza]

apc new standards 1+ years 2? washes

[coalessence]

u got some wicked fades there sir.

[choice_genes]

yo those look damn awesome ^^^

[ThugLife]

these were taken a couple months ago but i have worn them once since (too busy with the Warehouses)

i have no idea how much ive worn these, i dont keep track

im guessing somewhere between 2 1/2 - 5 months with one soak when i got them

[matyomat]

those NS look like mine. except i have to deal with the major crotch blowout and numerous holes not patched. i really need to find a good tailor

[backinthetrees]

I guess this might be a dumb question, but how does climate affect fades? Why would a warmer climate (equitorial) make it harder to get fading?

due to humidity, and constant sweating, all the indigo particles that potentially could have fallen off (which is what gives you your fades, constant creasing, imagine bending a piece of cardboard)in a dry area. but.. in an equatorial region, these indigo particles stay stuck as they become damp. therefore, it takes a much longer time in these parts to fade them as you normally would.

hope that answers your question.

sd-103 after another wash, up to a bunch now

[fndmybetterhalf]

more info plz. how long?

[choice_genes]

Haven't seen much in the way of evolution of black overdyes up here, so thought I would post

OK, so I bought these back in October 06. Wore them maybe 3 days a week. Then took them as my only pair of pants on my 3.5 month trip through America, Europe and Japan late last year. Wore them every day in those 3.5 months. All holes developed during the trip. Crotch only blew out in the last month.

Washed maybe 7-8 times in total.

If it weren't for the giant hole in the crotch, I would still be wearing these. Have since moved on to some Cheap Mondays - denim is not as nice, but they were [sigh] cheaper.

Here are my Skulls that I bought at Fabfour Tokyo over the summer:

Here they are when i first got them, they recieved a rain soak (insane japanese rain on the first day that i wore them) and also a hot soak. btw, they were hemmed to 32" inseam.

i started wearing them regularly around the end of september, so now they have about 5 months of wear:

the honeycombs are stubborn as fuuuck

uh-oh, crotch blowout imminent

i plan on washing them in a few weeks.

[Heartworm]

I finally updated my skulls blog... Last 4 posts are new, though the pictures were taken last summer (except for the last too, taken today). I was just too lazy to upload them.
