The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

Yeah, or skinnier cuts. Don't you tend to wear fuller jeans?

yup unfortunately i've got a big ass and skinnier cuts just don't flatter. plus i find them uncomfortable so i'll usually go for straight or more relaxed cuts. except for my nylons and spellbound which i still insist on squeezing in, they just look too good not to be worn anymore.

So anyone tried this method of breaking their denim in?

From Hunter S. Thompson's Hell's Angels...

"Every Angel recruit comes to his initiation wearing a new pair of Levis and a matching jacket with the sleeves cut off and a spotless emblem on the back. The ceremony varies from one chapter to another but the main feature is always the defiling of the initiate's new uniform. A bucket of dung and urine will be collected during the meeting, then poured on the newcomer's head in a solemn baptismal. Or he will take off his clothes and stand naked while the bucket of slop is poured over them and the others stomp it in.

These are his 'original', to be worn every day until they rot. The Levis are dipped in oil, then hung out to dry in the sun - or under the motorcycle at night to absorb the crankcase drippings. When they become too ragged to be functional, they are worn over other newer Levis."

Obviously i'd try this myself but I, umm, don't have a bike.

[unioz]

LOL. anybody got pics of that?

[beatle]

bucket of poop over my head ? such a no go**

[lenn]

Cross post from SExFH thread...SExFH05:

Well, since nothing is going on, I figured I post some more pictures. I finally got my camera back and an opportunity. These have been officially been placed into retirement status, at least until I can get them repaired.

Today marks 1 year, 1 week. 2 washes, multiple soaks.

combs look amazing, how do the legs fit on you?

Yeah, thats the plan. I won't wear them until they have been fixed.

For 90% of the year, they were pretty tight. I would take fit pictures, but they have shrunk and I don't want to put any stress on the yoke or it may blow.

[opethrapture]

Beautiful flatheads Raoul!!!

[Broke_folk]

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Raoul Duke again.

+ Rep when i get chance.. Good shit RD.

[M.O.A]

wow those flatheads got really blue really fast

[rockon99]

just copped some gap "skinny fit japanese selvedge" denimz - they were the last pair in the store, and they were on sale, and my size. so i said wtf and bought them for a lightweight summer pair. it'll be interesting to see how they fare in comparison to the high quality versions lol

end of the summer im coppin SDA 103s. its gonna happen...

[cloudhands69]

it's funny how they call them "skinny fit" then have the model wear them all sized up like that. hope they work out for you.

[salaami]

that yoke is self-repairable. if you go to a beauty-supply store for like a buck you can get a thick-ass needle that works great for denim. you can get poly-core thread anywhere.

[superhero]

wow those flatheads got really blue really fast

they've clearly been adjusted with photoshop

haha yeah, i couldnt find them on their site for a bit because there were no jeans that actually fit skinny in the models pictures. lol they feel super thin and whatnot, and they seem to fade fast. but they were cheap, so what the hell

[thaiison]
