^ i wonder if there's some kind of a coating you can do on your buttons that'll prevent rust but doesn't hurt the denim fabric around the buttons.

maybe candle wax?

Or clear nail polish?

washing seems to work fine for me.

i kow im breaking the sf rules... but i dont care. my jeans look dirtier after a week than some of the unwashed 6 moth jeans on here, and im sure they smell worse too. ill just wash and see what happens.

Yeah CMF, i think it all comes down to wear ultimately. If people wear jeans for 12 months but never do anything physical in them then they can't be compared to someone biking/skating/working outside in theirs for a just a few months.

The best fades I have ever had were on some old Holmes jeans (before Holmes turned into Silas) and I skated in them almost every day and washed them every month or so ...

[cheapmuthafukr]

i was thinking about something else last night. if you never wash your jeans they will eventually stretch to the point where they sit much lower than when new. that would effect the location of the creases, right? it seems like it would be easier to keep well defined creases with, if not frequent washes, frequent soaks. if your jeans are well made indigo loss is minimal, so why not? remember the "president jeans" from chickens post? darker and washed much more than the rest.

i could be wrong...

[Cue]

that's why you need to eat loads after buying new jeans so that all the creases will stay in the same place.

it makes sense. your jeans stretch, so should your waistline

She knows.

She's very interested- gets quite excited each time I bring home a new pair. Sometimes she notices that I'm wearing new jeans before I tell her.

She also knows the Nudie pocket stitch- both me and mom have Nudies.

I showed her the post and now she wants to check the responses - so thanks for all the kind words everyone. It puts a big smile on her face.

that puts a smile on my face!

I'm one day away from a year in my 811s. I never thought I'd be that excited! I'll give them a wash tonight and post the results tomorrow.

[andrewfuncrew]

you know what i've never seen denimbirds worn in either. good job with those, although for nine months' wear the denim sure is smashed to hell, unless you go about sliding on your ass all day?

i've seen him do it

@cmf: i think your right! it's no problem to wash jeans regulary because indigo loss because of washing is nearly nothing...you can't wash indigo away....just rubb it of!!

[Circanineteen85]

Sam, how often did your daughter wear the jeans and how often were they washed? That's pretty wicked... I hope many many years from now when I have a kid I can pass raw denim on to them

Why are the kids honeycombs by her ankles ?

she didnt break those in did she

I was wondering the same thing, but kids have tiny legs, backs of their knee might as well be their ankle...

they look pretty awesome... digging the huge cuffs

Bootcut Ola, washed at 3 months and every couple weeks after it. probably about 6 or 7 months old.

[Mr Calvin Oscar]

those look great!

[Thorns]

I concur. Those are quite possibly the best looking Ola's I've seen.

[Cameland]

wow thanks, i wore them pretty tight so i guess they faded quick, i think you really gotta wash the olas early and often, they seemed to fade really quickly after the first wash. I did do alot of skateboarding in these jeans tho, you can see where the griptape rubbed up against the left side of my leg when i hold it. Id wear them more but the fit is just crap on me now and the fone mark kinda annoys me. probably should have washed them hotter too, only ever did 30C cos i didnt want that fone mark to get anyworse.

[Tisswat]

poly800rock - SDs are starting to look good. How long have you been wearing those?

[NatseOklim]

Tenderloin T-Riders, washed when they needed it, coming up to a year old now.

[beatle]

[Cue]

sam that was probably my favorite post on superfuture ever

Wicked post right there. Make sure you keep em and maybe give them to her on her 21st birthday

I agree, it would be cool to have some stuff I wore when I was a toddler

[damnIam]

okinawas after five months and one wash

they're coming along decently but given that its been a lot of hot months, I haven't been as active in them as I would like to be. The crotch/inner thigh stripes have really come out pronounced, I think due to the fact that I do a lot of studying with heavy books on my thighs in the following position:

The wildswans coin purse fade on the rear left pocket is finally starting to be visble. I'm contemplating sanding for a little more definition. What do you guys think?

I covet your wallet...is this a sin?

these look great

and that wallet above ^^^ is excellent derdankhund

[No -]

Is that cell phone in your Ola??

[Cameland]

Is that cell phone in your Ola??

sure is. samsung d600, hate the fone, hate its mark on my jeans. i think i heard about a guy asking if there was anyone with faded olas so here they are.

[No -]

I try not to put my phone in my pocket because the weird fade it leaves.. the antenna doesn't retract :T

That's still a nice fade you have going on..

Why do people insist on waiting 6 months to wash? Some of my favorite jeans have being washed earlier. These are sick.
