[Ahlvahroe]

Levis 606 A-Types - Approx 4 years old. Worn off and on. Probably about 1 1/2 years of actual wear. Not sure how many washes.

The colour is off in these pics. The blue is a darker cast (almost a dark navy blue/grey.)

cant rep. love the a-types. shame they are not more easily available. great fades dude

Levi's 1966 super slims... about 1 year of wear, two washes, one soak (I think). They're not the best jeans in the world, but i think they were pretty good for $19.99.

Dukes and 007s

[Chris-Craft]

[atomicV1sion]

BSPs at 8 months. Probably 6 months effective. 1 initial soak.

...Wash?

[surly]

stuko, those 007s look great. Did you buy true to size?

[stukovx]

accidently sized up because I bought a 29 first that ended up being way too tite then went to 31 and now its way too loose

Eternal 864s

(personal red tab mod:D)

PBJ-007s

...

660's (contest) #116

Comparison from a while ago on BiG site: http://blueingreensoho.com/site/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=184&Itemid=51

to now...

I did a shit ton of work outdoors (arboretum stylee) during the contest, so the 660's have seen a lot of washes and beatings..they are now the chill time jean..

I got the 007's during that first run, and they ended up getting covered in tons of tree sap during some cleanup after a thunderstorm took a huge branch out of a several hundred year old pine...they still smell pretty good this many years later (i've washed them a lot), but the wear was slowed a bit due to the coverage. They are aging nicely..

The 864s are the daily pair in the collection. I got them in the winter/early spring of 08, and they're really just beginning to break. I kept them mainly as a weekend jean for a while so the wear is consistent, but Eternal denim is just so ill...they like the sunshine.

I've never really had a problem with any of these in the several years- one slight seam issue with the 660s was stitched over, and hasn't fallen out since. I wash them when they need it, mainly handwash with Dr. B's- take care of your denims and they will last for a long time....troofs.

can we get fit pics?

not the best picture, but it was easy to find on my photobucket.

and here's a pic of when they were knew

also, I today I noticed one new hole and several extremely threadbare portions in various parts of the seat and back pockets. It looks like I might have to bust out a needle and thread to do some repairs in the next few weeks!

Hey guys. These are Cougars made from the Cone Mills XX denim worn for 1 year and 4 months pretty much every day. Washed 18 times, many were hot washes.

[Yin]

^^^^^^^

[CMCiA]

LOL at yin's post

[Originalji]

Levi's 501 STFxx, also in the levi's stf thread.

1 year, 3 months, 6-7 handwashes.

The red/purple/green color is due to some friends thinking it'd be awesome if my jeans were tie-dyed. Red just happens to show up better i guess. So like the white weft is dyed red. Whatever, they look like shit from the back, but they've kind of grown on me.

Color is pretty accurate in first pic.

I'm going to hope someone returns a pair of 29'' waist cougars or slackers
