It ain't Copper Label (If you were talking about Crat's pair).

It's JB x Momo.

Cross post from Evisu thread:

0005 No.2 greencast, about 6 months of wear. This denim is interesting, really heavily greencasted and much to my surprise fading rather quickly. Currently wearing these as I'm in between pairs although I kind of have a love hate relationship with how green they are, some days I like it and some days I feel it's too much.

Now my favorite pair with by far the most wear (1,5 years) was my other 0005 No. 2, but as I've probably said too many times already (still bothers me it seems eh) those are lost forever at the tailor and I never took proper pictures of those.. I did buy them again recently so at least there's that. Some of the other pairs I lost too much weight for (31 0005's for example) so they never saw wear for more than a couple of months.

2005 No. 2, about 6 months of wear. Sized wrong on these so although I did wear them I always felt like they would've seen so much more wear if they had just been smaller.

0005 sample denim (green and black selvedge, guys at Evisu couldn't tell me much more about it either when they sold it to me), about 1 year of wear. First pair of Evisu's actually, absolutely loved them to bits although now they turned a little bit too gray and grimey for my taste.
