The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

[Miyavi]

Dior homme 19cm MIJ size 27. Bought on 1/8/09 and worn every day since (I even wore them indoors on rainy days). I am 5'4" =( so yes I had to hem them. I unfortunately got them hemmed about 2 inches shorter than I would have liked.

Being 5'4" sucks when it comes to clothes...

I'm about to start biking in them everyday.

[dralfonzo]

come on man, those need to see a LOT more wear before being posted up in the evo thread.

[salaami]

ikpus just made my day. i think gordon told me the cast on the FC is red. he mentioned that it looks kinda purple when raw when held 2 an angle...forgive my high recolection.

name a single time when being a 5'4" guy DOESNT suck.

[vamks]

LOL. Listen, I posted a picture of my jeans before there was much wear and got railed for it. But this is an evolution thread, and evolution doesn't occur with 1) raw state, and 2) worn state, there is an in between, and in my opinion, I love seeing that. So rock on man, keep posting.

[soulsoi]

its nice to know im not the only guy thats 5'4"

*bushwalking/hiking. tall lanky muthas always seems to cop more branches and what not in the face.

*when your face is buried deep in some tittays... and you're standing up.

*if you're a drag queen.

*if you snowboard/skateboard/surf... especially surfing.

I'm 5'5" and it's great for rock climbing. A low center of gravity isn't all bad.

Sugar Cane, model unknown, the denim is very stiff and similar to some of the old vintage Levi's from the '70s that I've seen.

[dandandan]

dang, bunga always bringing the heat!

Now:

Never was satisfied with the old fit pics I had. Not looking for rep (though always appreciated), but I figured I would share a before and after for fun. God knows how many times these have been washed. I'll be picking up something new this summer.

[ipkus.]

PBJs lately beeen killlin it

[opethrapture]

Agreed, both fit and fades are looking really good..

[M.O.A]

i just don't find the fit flattering anymore. I think something that slim in the thighs deserves to be tapered.

[opethrapture]

Here is a little update on my Denimes. Never really took them out of the rotation and thought a update was needed..

[bunga]

opethrapture - those are sick! are they the limited edition 1951s?

[opethrapture]

Thanks!!

Yes, they are the 1951 edition!!

[bunga]

Thanks!!

Yes, they are the 1951 edition!!

Where you get those? They're hard to find and pricy to boot, any idea what's the difference between the denim used on this model and the XX Type?

[Nick Cannon]

bunga/opethrapture, you should hop on that denime contest.

[Conifurious]

i just don't find the fit flattering anymore. I think something that slim in the thighs deserves to be tapered.

Keep in mind, they are freshly washed right now and have slimmed down considerably. After a week or so of wear, the proportions balance out nicely. They certainly won't be tapered.

thanks for the suggestion nick but right now i still have a few pairs in rotation, plus i'm broke right now

[opethrapture]

We get them directly from the Denime company over at Japan. We used them as the competition jeans over at mynudies.com

I cant tell much about the difference between these and the normal XX type other than that these are 15oz and that the normal XX type is 14,5 oz..

[opethrapture]

thanks for the suggestion nick but right now i still have a few pairs in rotation, plus i'm broke right now

Same goes for me too. I just got a fresh pair of 5000bk and still plan on wearing these and my 0500xx for a long time before buying any more jeans.

[lithiumsys]

Dior 21cm after about 1.5 years? I don't remember when I got them.

This is pretty accurate colors, the others aren't because it's raining and overcasted outside, so I was using flash.

[sayocean]

Picture time! Again, these were worn for 115 days as of May 19th, 2009, one initial hot soak, and on the 19th a hot wash with woolite and hot tumble dry.

From this:
