The gnarly pairs the past couple pages motivated me to stop my lurking and actually start posting (that, and I felt a bit creepy reading peoples conversations that I wasnt apart of).

Thought Id start with my favorite pair, my Red-Ds worn hard for a bit over a year. One wash, thrashed from biking.

Sorry for the shadows...Im never off school/work before 4. The color is pretty much spot on though.

My Momotaro 0201, worn for 4 months.

[dandandan]

Contest Full Count 0105s @ 18 months-ish. salaryman nighttime/weekend wear mostly. too many washes/soaks to count!

[dandandan]

Sugarcane 47's @ 4ish years but more like 3 years of wear. too many washes/soaks to count, and the crouch has been repaired more than 5 times already!

[aho]

Great pairs there, wish I could rep both!

[Arsenal!]

Shearers worn almost 2 years, through long bike rides, backpacking trips, etc. Couple machine washes, couple hand washes, countless repairs. Wanted to see how black jeans would fade, and turned out quite well. Pretty much retired, as I was having to sew them about every week of wear.

Those Full Count and Sugar Canes are nuts, by the way.

[beatle]

Those shearers are insane...

Two initial soaks

Three months in:

*all with natural sunlight

As i presume is the case with a lot of us, thought Nudie was the pinnacle of denim in early high school. Also was convinced it was sacrilegious to wash jeans, so went over a year before first wash. Worn for over 2 years every day. Torn to shreds, feel paper thin.

Sorry for the shadows...the color is pretty much spot on though. Theyve turned a beautiful blue/grey from so much wear. Did most of the repairs myself, so they are sorta makeshift.

Crosspost from LVC thread.

LVC47. 2 years and 3 months, though they had a couple month break cos I didn't get myself around to repair the crotch. They are back in the game now!

The pictures don't really do them justice, had to drive them thru photoshop, because the light really sucks in Finland right now.
