The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

[CMCiA]

^Skulls looking great. and I'm jealous, I need me some Devil's fit

[eNonsense]

I wasn't really sure were exactly to put this so I guess it could be evolution of denim. My Doc Pop selvedge wallet after 3+ years.

When new.

[shekki]

^marta, it's smarta

[meroswarrior]

oh damn crazy evo on that wallet

[ItsJustNC]

Haha.! Yea man. Another 6 more months and it'd be stonewashed..!

[ThinFinn]

went to SELA looking to try on the new 3s+ denim, but ended up walking out with the devil's fit. when i tried it on, it was too perfect to not get. btw, no dirt on the new 3s denim, quality is awesome.

sorry for the bad iphone pic, here it is next to my skulls 1 wash, worn for ~2.5 years.

plain awesomeness and congrats on the new pair!

Those Eternals are so beautifull. Be sure to keep them alive for ever and keep go rocking them for another time. Or do I have to do this for you?

[CJsmalls]

Denime XXs coming along, maybe 7 months of wear

[TallyHo]

back in the fall, i posted a comparison of my LVC 47s and 710s at 200 days. after those photos were taken, both pairs went into the wash and the eternal contest started. i decided to treat my 811s the same way to see how they compared. the 47s and 710s got a few wears here and there over the past 8 months, and now all 3 pairs have lined up: initial soaks, second soak at 133 days wear, washed at 200 days, worn 10 days after. 210 days / 7 months on each pair.

these photos, like the last set, were taken midday under overcast sky (no adjustments):

(LVC top, 710 left, 811 right)

(L to R: 811, 710, LVC)

(best depiction of color / texture)

(L to R: LVC, 710, 811)

aside from possible differences in activity levels (may have hiked / biked / skated a little more in some pairs than others), the only difference is the 811s were hand washed with bronners and the other two were washed together in a machine with detergent.

you can clearly see in the photos that the LVC are lightest and 811s darkest, which seems contrary to popular opinions on here. granted, the LVCs were probably lighter when raw than the 811s, but it's still plain to see they are not particularly "slow faders" as people call them. in the eternal contest thread, a lot of people have been saying that these are fading fast... i think that is deceptive because they have faded quite a bit and signs of fading started early, but the denim is dyed so deeply that they are still far darker than the other pairs.

hope you all enjoyed this little study. i'll see if i can get some fit pics...

[ThinFinn]

^great comparisons right there...all 3 pairs are looking ace for their time being worn.

2011台北的酷暑來臨之前,先前最常穿的這件Joe McCOY 901 總算告一段落了

其實之前自己很少穿這麼合身的版型（大腿關節與臀部部份）

這次的嘗試之後也有所感觸,果然色落後刷紋的密集程度偏高了

好處是所謂“刷紋”的皺摺數量變多,壞處則是過於密集後沒有太明顯的漸層效果

當初選擇這件來穿,其實是抱著實驗性的心態

首先因為這個既低腰又窄版的褲款是自己頭一次嘗試,再者正好多數穿用的時間在冬季

自己第一次試著讓褲子盡量少下水洗,看看是否褪色的狀況真的如多數人所說的

少洗少褪色 （之前其實自己並不真的相信）

由於本篇中照片是自己拿著相機朝著身上拍所以角度不好請見諒

第二張照片可以看到上面敘述所說「“刷紋”的皺摺數量變多、“刷紋”過於密集後沒有太明顯的漸層效果」

每一個皺摺都變細變窄了

第三張照片可以看出因為褲子不經常水洗

所以褪色的程度其實偏向整片布料都灰蒙蒙的一層,比起經常水洗的褲子較沒有色落漸層分明的明顯差異感

（或許是台北的氣候漢字己穿著的時間點也有影響不過還是可以參考）

這第四張照片就是上述之前自己穿過差不多時間長度而最經常水洗的一件褲子

可以參考它的刷紋處色落後與其他部位布料間的顏色差異

接著再回到Joe McCOY 901的色落狀況

（我想下一回我再穿褲子時,我會常洗它的）
