It's been awhile since i posted anything so here are my dry bones. About 15-16 months of wear and i have forgotten how many times i washed them. Time for them to be retired since i can barely fit into them now. Sorry for the picture overload!!!!

Sized up on this pair of new standards which is a bit laughable but I stuck with it since at that time, I didn't mind sagging my ass off. Waist ended up stretching about 3 sizes too big for me. Here are the results.

pretty goood shit for sizing up man!!!

Daily wear, beach washed once, dry cleaned once. Some little repairs here and there.

Retired so I can grind new stuff.

Cross-post from samurai thread.

And here are my s710xx. Worn ~10 months.

Knee repair. I like when wear wraps around the whole leg.

Honeycomb wearing through on the reverse. That's always fun.

Washed once during first 8 months. Then I decided the wear was satisfactory, and that it was time to turn them into light-blue jeans. Since then they've been machine-washed ~4 times.

So, I've only been posting for a couple months, and I don't know that everyone will agree with this, but I think I've noticed a kind of maturation in taste over the time I've been around. Certainly my taste has matured a lot with the influence of all you very tasteful folks. But generally I'm noticing things like: jokes about stereotypical sufuers always sizing down 2; a subtle (but I think noticeable) increased interest in wider jeans; a certain disbelief expressed at the super duper contrasty fades people achieve. (I'm sure this stuff has been going on for longer than just a few months; that's just how long I've been reading.)

I love my jeans unconditionally, but now that I have some actual knowledge about how blue jeans "work," I know that I'd prefer a pair that weren't always chewing on my nuts. I do not need my jeans to turn my cellphone off for me because the pockets are so tight. I will definitely be more moderate from here on out. And I look forward to machine washing these into submission, now that I have foundational fades laid in.

great stuff the past few pages. repped where i could.

beats, those BKs are looking great.

[shinobi2000]

holy shit! I have NEVER seen a pair of Diors with such a deep contrast fade like this! Swear you didn't do any major pic enhancements?

[insomnia]

^hah i swear - none at all. just uploaded to the web and voila.

those pics are representative of the true color in person. i'll get some better pics up one of these days

[nemoulette]

I know I posted these only a couple of weeks back but have some fun photos to share. Honoring my tradition of wearing my jeans in the wilderness (My Edwin Leepros in the Peruvian jungle, and my Ooe's in the arctic), I treated my Evisus to a hike in the alps.

[dylanbooth78]

great pics man!

[mikecch]

Some close-ups of the RJB 66bspbk from SE. Sorry about the crappy lighting, I can't show the entire pair very well right now.

[nate1492]

More Samurai 710xx. I guess this is a popular jean, and for good reason. 10 months, one hand wash, another wash coming soon.

[not too tight]

PBJ XX005 7 months wear 1 wash and a few soaks

LVC 501 1947 3 or 4 months? 2 soaks

I wore the LVCs as long as I could but sadly they are not stretching out enough to be comfortable so I will be giving them to my brother.
