The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

NICE!! is that a carribeaner in the left butt pocket?

no, it´s a small tin box i used to carry pills in for the first two month. afterwards i didn´t need them anymore, but the stain remained...

[rtst]

aztec and iGIT - well done +rep

[FFF]

10.5 months i think

2 washes

2 soaks

lighting wasn't very good so the color isn't 100% accurate. the back pic is a better representation although there is more contrast IRL.

[bustinxjustin]

Nice jeans everybody.

FFF, I'd really like to see some pictures with better lighting. You're giving me more motivation to wear my SEXI04s.

RRL Sanforized raw bootcut 31 x 30

Had these for a bit over 2 years, these are the Sanforized Raws. Soaked & washed quite a few times.

taken outdoors, color in the last photo is the most accurate. if i'd know better i would've gotten the leg slightly tapered from the get go, may still do it as i still wear these quite a bit.

FFF, those imperials look great. that contrast makes me want to go back to indigo.

Once you go black, you never go back!

APC Rescues at about 8 months or something.

Washed 6 or 7 times. The bottoms got messed up when I took them in to get the heels repaired. They decided to cut and reattach the entire bottom 4 inches for some reason. Whatever. I started a new pair as soon as the crotch blew.

That's a weird tailor you found yourself there.

[sevennus]

not so much a tailor as much as a dry cleaner that did alterations, but the jeans stacked in a way that hid the seams anyway.

Here are the front and back of my APC New Cures after about a year of wear:

[fespon]

How come there is not much of fading.

Mine are the same (4 months though)

Here are the front and back of my APC New Cures after about a year of wear:

Did you wear them every day? How many washes? My diors look like that after about a month wear, so wear them harder. Good start, however.

[nakedsushi]

Not sure. I think I soaked them once and washed them once, so maybe that's why?

edit: I also have a job where I sit on my ass all day so maybe that's why there's not much wear haha.

x-post from Skulls thread.....

Same ones from http://www.superfuture.com/supertalk/showpost.php?p=835823&postcount=2941, I guess about 20 months or so now, but not worn everyday. I haven't been wearing them that much recently, since they've been in need of repair. I'll post close-up pics of the Denim Dr. repairs / reinforcements when I get a chance.

One or two washes, and a couple of soaks.

i have holes and like physical wear but these things are a stubborn fade

[horriblyjollyjinx]

HMMM, they look sanded

[juliaN.]

chantheman, can't rep but thanks for the 45 RPM stories and pictures a few pages back, very enjoyable read. Lately, out of a rare moment of nostalgia perhaps I've started wearing my sorahikos again pretty regularly that I haven't really worn since my last year in college. They don't fall so well over shoes when worn as is, so I usually cuff them up. Got a weird habit of inspecting and picking at the slubs whenever I'm sitting on the subway, heh....

[denimdestroyedmylife]

HMMM, they look sanded

i reckon you are joking

these will be three years old in april
