Awesome jeans, zoom! The pics of the Samurai s5000bk's looks it's shot in b/w.

Took some new pictures of my Denimbridge 2nd. Havn’t worn them for quite a while now.

Think these were from his first run of the 2nd model. Can definitely see myself getting another pair in the same cut.

My collab gbg001 jeans that I made with Göteborg Manufaktur and Denimbridge. This was the final sample pair so I think I’ve had them for a little over two years now.

Somehow the lens and grass length combo makes these look as if they are a toy

A couple of Evo pics of my Edwin ED-80s. Occasionally worn since April around the house and for a few hikes. Bearing some paint marks from a couple of renovation projects. 

1 soak and 1 cold wash so far. I'm a slow fader so nice to see some blue peeking through.

Long time no post. I've pretty much only been on the IH forum for the past few years because I honestly just can't bring myself to find much interest in other denim brands anymore after gradually replacing my wardrobe with IH over the past 5 years or so. Here's a pic dump of my IH-555 18 oz. First 2 are recent (3 years worth of wear), other 4 are about 7 months ago (2.75 years worth of wear). I've transitioned to mostly wearing IH-555-XHS-IB since earlier this year, so these 18 oz haven't gotten a ton of wear in those recent months. I can't believe how much life these have given me. I wear my jeans pretty hard, and I've never had another pair of non-IH jeans go beyond 25 months of wear. All but one of my non-IH have been wrecked in 17 months or less, and I'd need another ~6 months on these 18 oz 555 to get them to the point of where that 25 month pair was at (the Samurai 710 19 oz that I won the sub-21 oz HWDC2 with years back). Really can't say enough good things about IH. The durability is vastly superior to other jeans I've had.

My wife is quite skilled with a sewing machine and she takes care of the stuff I care about (crotch, anything above the thighs). I don't really mind cuffs or knees tearing and particularly don't like knee patches, so I just leave those!

Just seen this, appreciate it's from ages ago! Please le me know if you'd like a replacement button pin- I can send you one out with pleasure. Either DM here or email.

Sorry to junk up the thread. As penance, here are the first prototype pair of Tender 125s. washed loads (maybe 10 times) over the last couple of months:

I haven’t posted in superdenim in forever, but I realized my first pair of raw denim (501 STF) are 15 years old. I slowly sold off all my other denim as I got bigger and my jeans did not. As these were the biggest pair, I have held onto them but sadly they do not fit anymore either.

Did a janky home repair on these USA 501xx with a scrap from some old Levi's 517s. 

The hole was getting worse and it was ugly.

Been wearing these Evisu 2000t Petero 18 off and on since March. One hand wash after a latte incident.

combs are more visible in less subdued light, but I wasn't trying any photoshop trickery. The seat is pretty worn because I commute via bicycle. I'm hoping it evens out as more washes commence.

New year, clean pair of pants.

atlast co lot 161 since 2018. Patched up en mended, when they come out of the washer they feel and fit very good, after wearing them for about 2 weeks they feel like a sack, don’t like that.

so back to the washer and out come the atlast co lot 147, have them since 2016.

also patched up and mended. These hold up better

Thanks MJF9,

indeed time for a new pair.

i,m thinking about a new pair for the last 2 yrs. 
i,d like something similar, high rise , straight, bit loose cut.

Thought about dawson denim, fullcount.

since I can’t get my hands on another atlast. 
I have a hard time spending 200 plus euros , plus shipping,tax…. My priorities changed. So probably more patching and mending for a while
