nah, one to get rid of starch after the creases set in.

Another at the 4 1/2 month mark due to smell

[TallyHo]

from the eternal contest...

14 months wear / 2 soaks / 2 hand washes / 4 machine washes:

these were shot in more direct sunlight than normal. jeans aren't quite this light. oh well.

365 days here / 300 Days Here / 240 Days Here / 180 Days Here / 120 days here / 60 days here

pbj xx-007

turned 2 years last month. not sure how many washes, but probably 3 or 4. pre-was pre-crotch repair.

too broke for a new pair/real belt.

[Lendo]

levi's 1947 501XX - 5yrs or so?

take 5 x momotaro: 4yrs-ish

both pairs have been repaired at denim doctors, lvc's had massive crotch/backside repair as well as the knees & pocketbags. momo's had the knee and pocketbags repaired.

yes, they're both fresh out of the dryer. after this many years of wear it's not a huge deal to me anymore.

[Flash]

I think that is the nicest pair of 47's ive seen

[Lendo]

thanks man! on the up & up, i had them hemmed and slightly tapered @ denim dr's. they're one of my favorites again, unfortunately i don't think i can wear them as much as i'd like as they're really starting to show their age. got them back, immediately started wearing them a lot, the other knee promptly blew out and had to be repaired at a local place.

[TheNorthern]

[agg_tastic]

Holy crap! Some amazing denim in here, I don't even feel worthy...

yup. and all the denim purists hate it. but hey, do what you gotta do.

[dkatz]

Finally got a chance to take some pictures I've been wanting to take for quite a while.

A Transcontinental Tellason Triumvirate.

Three pair of Tellason Strummers, as lived in by (from left to right):

- a civil engineer in Orange County, for about six months

- an development researcher in Uganda, for about six months

- a teacher in Honduras, turned graduate art student in Los Angeles, for about one year

And yes, pair #2 are clean... or as clean as a machine can get them!

Pair #1 are the ones for sale in my signature.
