The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

[Capibaro]

Yeah I heard that they were pretty bad quality. Yet I have to say that the denim after the first wash seems really sturdy still. As this is just an experiment I am curious too. And I have to say that I am patient and seem to keep all my dry pair fairly log without rips or tears (never goat crotch rip (knock on wood). I like this pair thought. Will surely keep you posted. 

 

Got some pics of your pair on how they evolved and how they ended up?

They still make these?  I had a pair like 4 years ago as my intro to raw denim.  Probably a bad idea on Diesel's part to make them, as I - and probably a lot of others - transitioned into higher end raw denim as a result of buying these and never bought another pair of Diesels again.  Hah.  In any case, I think they fade a little faster, but it seems like it's probably just a result of a weak dying process rather than some special treatment, as they claim.  Too bad the denim is pretty poor and rips way too quickly.  I haven't seen anyone go past maybe 7 or 8 months in a pair of these, so, for nostalgia's sake, I'd be curious to see what they look like a long time down the road.  Wear them hard!

My Diesel Tepphar turbo denim at day 74, 7 days after the first wash. They seem to fade faster after the wash. They don't get much wear these days because of the hot weather and the fact that I am trying to break in my new A.P.C. Petite Standards

Cross post from Nudie thread.

Need to take a decent picture of my Nudie Gunnar shirt soon!

This one was taken by Victor from Solo in Malmö with his mobile phone.

Enjoy!

Here are two of my pictures I took a couple of days ago an early morning.

Sadly I only had my mobile phone on me.

So quality is a bit so so.

As I said. I will try to take some proper pictures later on.
