X-post this from the skull denim thread.

Surprised these are still holding up.

I've been basically trying to tear these apart because I no longer care about them. Had them for two years, thought they would be done a few months ago. Washing them probably once every week or two now, worn pretty hard.

Size 30 Skull 5010xx

True waist size: 31

Unaltered hem, 5'10 155 lbs

First pic better represents the color. Second pic is pink-tinted and darker with higher contrast, not sure how that happened.... But it still gives you a good idea of how nice the fading on the back knee went.

I'm bringing these to a friend to see if I can repair the crotch, back pocket, and possibly taper down past the knee. But I mainly want to stitch the Skull black-red patch back on. If this stuff costs too much though I'm going to just end up wearing them till they rip

Method- sorry cant rep but will get back to you. they beautiful

jcrew denim detergent ehhhh

[morse9443]

710's worn about 8-10 months

0500's worn about 4 months - couldn't be filthier

J Crew - leave us alone!

[Florian.FloC]

too many problems with a brand name out here—can't argue with something that smells as good as this detergent does

jeans look tasty, morse, did the pocket have to be taken off to do that repair job on the back?

kidding on the j crew hate (a little), but they are def monitoring our movements around here - spies.

This repair I did by hand, so no pocket removal required. For a machine fix, you'd have to remove it, but once you got it off and fixed it would be hell to get it back on with a home-level sewing machine (too thick, rivets etc.), not recommended.

loving the fc and sams on this page. ill post my fhs when i get home from the gym!

x-post from denime contest thread:

DENIME 66XX contest jeans.

6 months (5.5 of actual wear) - 3 washes

using the coin pocket for coins...

[mr.invincible]

atzec, can't rep but the 66x is looking mad good.

i think my next pair would be the FC 1108 or denimes. or evisu again.

s710 vs 1108C

sick sammies. must +rep.

[weinfeld]

Last page was killer. Seriously, the Denimes, Full Counts, and Samurais.

This thread has been really on the last couple of pages.

[tvshooter]

i think my next pair would be the FC 1108 or denimes. or evisu again.

hope this helps with your decision! 1108's.

[khoiphan92]

Hey guys, post wash pics as promised. someone wanted to see the other side of the blanket

This picture was right off the rack when they dried.

[beatle]

Koi - I wish u'd put them on a different background..they are gorgeous and those cartoon figures are just disturbing the eye

[beatle]

Oh - and just a general thought...judging by a lot of pics in the latest lighting magazines - the western world has finally taking over grail status when it comes to fading jeans. So many beautiful pairs over the last couple of months !!!

[Dchill]

yeah I agree beatle, i've been consistently impressed for sure.

[danisfake]

my jaw just dropped.

Tough acts to follow. X-posted...

S0500xx, sz. 32 worn nearly every day since August, 5 or 6 warm/hot washes.

Sized up one (cuz I'm a grown ass man) so I'm elated with the fit since they shrink continuously, but I might've liked more contrasty fading; the likelihood of which was hampered further by washing them twice immediately - rather than soaked - which rid them of any starch. Oh well. Won't repeat that (sorta) mistake.

(matched socks are for suckers)

Fit pic from 1 wash prior (shitty)

And day 1 (I wear neither my shirts like this, nor those goofy running trainers with them. I just weirdly take all my pics coming from to going to walk my dogs)

Hope my S5000vx 21oz's wind up this well, but I'm more worried about washing them since they're already tighter... Carry on.

[bdotwells]

Flathead 1001's, got these in August '08

repairs!
