You guys' jeans look amazing, Nizzel. Terrific work on those.

Do you do any particular physical activity like biking or something in those jeans, or just regular everyday life? Either way the result is quite impressive.

[nizzel55]

Why thank you. No I am not doing any sort of physical activity while wearing them. I got two small kids.  3 and 6 years old. They bring me down on my knees a lot. I spend quite a lot of time playing with them and helping them put their clothes on and so on.  Most of those activities are done on the floor.

Doing some rainy day closet cleaning and ran into some old jeans that no longer fit me. I haven't had a new pair of denim in about 5 years and have been thinking of getting a new pair. Any recommendations on jeans you've enjoyed recently?

First pair is SEXIH01 and second pair is SEXSC02 both worn for about 2.5 years with 2 washes each I believe.

So awesome faded jeans seen here over the last few weeks. 

And those from Nizzel are looking incredible!!!

My APS Petit Standard just before their 2nd wash. The contrast is pretty heavy which isn't obvious on the picture. Wonder how they will come out.

Hello all!

Took couple of pictures today! 1001 1 year++

Cheers guys! Have a good weekend!

Sorry dude neg reppd by mistake 

[Capibaro]

Here are the post light wash pics. Hard to take pictures to get the good color. I wanted the dark indigo to stay as dark as possible so I used a special denim detergent.

 

[Capibaro]

I have an office job so I am not the fasted fader. I take my denim fading easy, but I think the results are quite good with my jeans (in my opinion). Here's my Diesel Tepphar denim that was marketed to have some enzyme to let it fade faster. Think total bullocks but the colour that comes out I like. Wonder what you think.

Now I have a few pairs in rotation. Nudie (pretty worn out), Diesel (well faded going into the fall of it's existence), APC (well into the process) and 501 STF (broken in). So i allow myself to get a new pair. Any advice on what to buy next? I am not one for the super heavy denim. I don't like how they fade (out).

A few photos of my 2.5 year old CT-100x's - probably about 2 years of consistent wear and 10+ washes. 

[swiss-jeansfreak]

Keep them alive for ever!!!

my holy trinity.  stevenson, left field, and warehouse...newest to oldest.  

[BAerts]

YES. These shirts look amazing. Great to see a lineup of indigo tees.

[everyinchofgod]

@Capibaro I'd recommend a pair of 14oz Iron Heart in the cut of your choice. Fantastic denim and construction, and super comfortable. 

[serotonin flood]

Dang did the warehouse tee start as dark as the Stevenson?  

[aaronmetcalf]

@serotonin flood it was three or four years ago

Here's some pictures of my 1001s. I've worn these jeans on and off for the last 3 years. They've had a lot of washes and a lot of repairs.

These are my son's (2 years old) Kings of Indigo jeans. Worn almost everyday for 7 months.
