The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

[shwanger]

here are my thin finns, worn almost every day-ish, kind of. Thought they would have turned out a bit better. I tried my best!!

Before

i like the before pick better(u mustve worn the hell outta them diligently).. but im sure they turned out/are turning out even better. any updates?

[lilldavid]

lildavid

those LEEs look great! i love the repairs you've done---adds so much character. very authentic wear and tear.

good show!

hey thanks man! I just wanna keep them from falling apart...

[eastcoastrider27]

I'm gonna agree with Poly on this one.

Take the better-than-you-hipster vibe elsewhere.

[NoleAnderson]

ahhh the bed wetting. takes away all credibility i guess. hey it happens to the best of us i guess. not saying im the best. ill probably get flack for implying that.

JesseJB you've got some good knee wear. do those fit tight tight? or a bit more relaxed?

[Guest jeffvyain]

mmm yessss wetting the bed. honestly, yes, it does take away your creditibility. not so much in the sense of you being a dishonest person or anything like that, moreso just that you are less of a human. i personally haven't wet the bed since i was like 3 years old, but if i were in your position, i certainly wouldn't go around telling people about it.

They dont fit too tight at all..the knees just got a really good start when I blew a tire on the freeway the day after I bought them. Got fading right away! And I do lots of rockstar slides for extra wear when Im at home.

haha, THAT's what I've been missing... more rockstar slides!

more random lvc updates almost 5 months old. pretty moderate wear. Been wearing them to work at my parents cafe a lot lately, hence the random blotches of weird color. Ill throw up some comb pics later too. and the tag which is lookin pretty neat

these things are getting dirtier

[M.O.A]

nevermind, here they are

emjoy!

Got a pair for Xmas, warm soak the same day and shrunk 1" in waist, 3" in inseam. my question for yalls is how the hell do i get rid of these fucking knee bulges? I think that as time passes, they will start to fall better around the bottom and pull the knees out, but I dont know. Never really encountered this before. some pics:

And some more

Good things to come I hope

[Superstar]

^ denim looks killer nice... knee looks kinda weird.. havent seen anythin like that before..

[Ott]

you shouldn't have worn them when they were wet. The only thing you could try is to soak them again.. or just wait.

[40ozprophet]

yeah, think im just gonna wait it out. And youre right, they were stretched while wet i guess. oh well. and a couple more pics

[ian]

w/ my lvc's, i soaked them and let them dry. then i wore them, and i don't have any

rediculous knee bulging going on.

[ryandenim]

ok these are my lee 1937 hair on hide that ive had for about one and a half years now, theyve had about ten months effective wear and one rinse in the washing machine at 40 Celsius

I got them from a friend cause they were too tight for him. he busted the top button during the first week then he gave them to me

nice wear on the thighs if Im allowed to say that myself...

I had to restitch the left pocket this spring because it was falling apart

honeycombs...

I always get those wearmarks under the back pockets, I guess because I wear my jeans low on the hip, plus I had to restitch the yoke

overall back view

Sick jeans! Holding out on the wash has paid off.

[Konfucius]

sorry. im not really trying to bitch. some times i just get boggled by this whole denim-subculture. you guys have a real passion for it. i guess go with it.

shit, didn't know guys like you lived in edmonton

[GoodHustle]

c'mon guys, keep the comments to the jeans, lets not turn this thread into waywt with all the negative, petty comments..

[poly800rock]

shit, didn't know guys like you lived in edmonton

douchebags live everywhere...

missed a month ago so heres nudies at 8+ months no wash worn everyday for at least 98% of those 8 months

unfortunately i forgot to take pics of the front of the jeans but whatever i will put up my post-wash pics.

with the new joints

[sean_]

and, the new joints at like 3 days, i am so excited about these the denim is amazing, i have a feeling theyre gonna fade beautifully

[Geowu]

my studio d'artisan sd-103 have now more than one year of everyday wear, and they look very faded. can't post pics though, I've got no camera. I think one year of everyday wear is the right amount of time to get a good fading, not 6 months.

[Chicken]

^ you're killing me. please get a camera.

sean, nice purchase on your new joint. zimbabwee cotton? hell ya.
