The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

[Satya]

don't shoot me, this is slightly off-topic but would just like to give some props and attention to Indonesian denim fans who took the trouble to come up with their own denim-related event entitled Wall of Fades.

Check out the event pics at the link below:-

Here's the translation for the first couple of paragraphs:-

"After the long wait and anticipation, the Wall of Fades event finally happened last Saturday to the general public. Conceived as a Denim Exhibition and Denim Market, the event was put together by the Indigo community with support from local denim brand, Vision Mission Jeans. Word is that Wall of Fades is the first Denim Exhibition of its kind in South East Asia.

Wall of Fades presented more than 20 pairs of jeans divided into various categories. One of the main categories is the repro jeans section which featured 2 pairs of jeans from Levi's Strauss & Co as well as Lee HD Company. These jeans represented output from the two of the oldest denim companies which are the pioneer brands in the world of denim. Other tables featured Dry Denim (raw denim perhaps?) from Japanese brands such as The Flat Head, Ande Whall from New Zealand and finally, Vision Mission which is a homegrown Indonesian brand.

Next up, a section featuring Worn Jeans were also on display with examples from Cheap Monday, SExlo4 Imperial Brand Clothing as well as Nudie Jeans. Also on display were APC denim jackets, Iron Heart as well as Massa Genuine jeans"

will translate the rest when i get the time. =)

@chantheman: that is some crazy leg twist going on there! but theyre looking good nonetheless.

@cocoquangs: nice ironhearts! especially after considering how long ironhearts take to fade

[Satya]

@cocoquangs

that's great! +rep

[sell veg]

Ooe 2101 x crappy camera skills collab. Around 5-6 months of wear, washed every 4-6 weeks.

[tatoo_tears]

@ chantheman

Nice 660's,Wish I would have kept going with mine before throwing them in the washer,now the feel to loose.

[pennyoka]

Shouldn't a wash shrink them back down? Do a hot wash and a hot dry and it should help shrink them back down.

[chantheman]

yea they feel so much tighter after a wash. just wash/soak them maybe even throw them in the dryer.

@chantheman and @cocoquangs: + rep, the patch on the ironhearts looks great.

[SLAB]

I agree with Bunga, great fades and great IH patch

Cross-posted with the Evisu thread. These are the Macau-made #1 Special, the D80 version. Hard to know the actual time on these. I soaked them earlier this year, but I've worn them too off-and-on to really say.

Those are beautiful jeans. I had a pair that was too small for me, which I floated to Pomata. I think those are D67. Really dark and inky, with strong vertical character in the raw fabric.

[epifreak]

LVC '47, a year. sorry about dark pics. i have no flash and this best depicts the actual color of the jeans.

for sale unfortunately D:
