The Olas look great. I just picked up a pair of Dry Slim Jims. This is the same denim as the Olas? Would one be able to expect similar results? I was very suprised at how soft the denim on the SJ was.

I am on month 3.5 on a pair ofDry Greycasts. These are pics pre cold soak:

And a couple after (Very similar though they seem to be wearing faster now):

*I had the pictures embedded, however they were huge and I do not know what to do about that.

those look pretty.

My APCs are one year old! These saw some pretty brutal treatment and have graduated to the coveted "weekend jean" status! Those won't get much wear while I am breaking in my Imperials.

Carpe Denim! (not the jean brand silly!)

jesus christ Serge... I'm gonna get a job at a winery alongside you, break in shitloads of Japanese jeans, and then retire off the money I make selling them on eBay..

[adsurgo]

have you washed those?

[bobby alto]

Serge-

Those look great man. Have they been washed? They look pretty filthy!

whats the fit like on those? like an apc english? they don't look tapered really. i like the way the back pockets are stitched on.

[werdtoyourmoms]

i don't know how they compare to apc. they're straight leg. nice and slouchy. the ass is not baggy, which is excellent. i feel like the ones they have now are much more tapered and a lot less dark. these were almost black when i first got them. i heard they were 14 oz, but i don't really know anything about them.

[chimps]

I like the way those NDGs look. How much did they run you?

Nice Helmut Langs too. Good job for only 5 months.

[Serge d Nimes]

Those HL selvage jeans are really hard to find!

My APCs were washed in a machine once, and wash in a sink with hot water and no agitation 4 times. They are really dirty looking, but in a very uniform way, I think they look great that way.

Carpe Denim! (not the jean brand silly!)

[maxwell83]

The Helmut Langs are called Classic Selvedge Denim, they were are lucky find. I have 2 pairs of them, the pair i have worn and the second pair i havent started on yet.

Thanks for the comments

Holy shit those look good. I long for a pair that end up looking like those.

[Serge d Nimes]

Here they are being worn. They are a little darker than the pic shows.
