[Biff15]

...those are looking pretty damn good, Fookums...

like the RW's too...

[MirrorLockUp]

Those jeans are sick. So so sick.

Great fit. Great combs.

[JohnnyRed]

Those combs are great, looks slubby somehow!

[rome1]

looks like you have some tiny tears in the combs... strange this happened to mine too the last time I washed them.

The slub is def. there not as pronounced as some denim but it does show through with more wear.

[Fookums]

Yeah, the tiny rips in the combs were weird. Didn't expect em, but eh, as long as they dont blow up.

[edmond]

hey fookums what kind of redwings are those?

[Fookums]

They're 8130s, bought 'em off Bill, he replaced the crepe soles with leather ones.

So you're the one that bought those!

I'm indifferent today

I need to try to get a proper comb shot.

That last pic is prrrrfect! That's exactly how jeans should fit.

[edwithoutahead]

I was going to say, the fit of those jeans and the rest of your outfit reminds me of Ordo's travels in the FH world tour.

[ChattyPuma]

Perhaps without 1/32nd of his PS skills.

I've decided this thread needs more pictures. So here are a bunch of random from me over the past week and a half, some of which don't even relate to these jeans. I started November 13, 2007, so I'm at 135 days as of this post. Did 2 initial soaks, and since then I've done 3 more soaks (none with soap) throughout the time I've been wearing them to get out stains or shrink them back up a bit. I'm a senior in high school and I've got a dress code at school that excludes denim, so this is mostly nights and weekends, with some pretty uneventful nights. Anyways, here we go...

I've been on spring break since 03/14/08, and I went to Florida for a week with my family saturday the 15th. We were in Clearwater/St. Petersburg Saturday to Wednesday, then we drove down to Naples until Sunday then drove back up for easter, and my dad and I flew back Monday afternoon because I have lacrosse this week.

In the airport waiting for the plane.

Walking around in a parking garage in Florida

I had some nice sunlight in the car driving to Naples...

Back home now, some really shitty pictures indoors, I've stopped putting my phone in my pocket because of the fade

I've got my Corter regular snap wallet in my rear right pocket, I used a coach bi-fold for the first few months wearing these so that's the wear in my left pocket.

Crotch starting to wear down

What I wore the day of ^^^those^^^ pictures

The next day (yesterday) I decided to wash them, used woolite dark, and used warm wash/cotton/normal soil/extra rinse settings, it took about 50 minutes, then hung dry overnight.

More to come, thats the picture limit...

During that the winds were huge and blew over a BIG tree in my backyard. I wasn't home but it fell over my backyard/patio and right outside of my window. First two are from my room and the last is from my kitchen, under my room.

The tree from my driveway, look at the base of the broken piece and you can see the wires

Looking back up at my room from my driveway

From the base of the tree looking towards my house

Because the end of the tree was resting on the wires we had to have DTE come and take care of it, so they came today and cut it up and took the big pieces, but left us with a lot to deal with. Here is the patio after it was removed, they moved all of our furniture etc to the grass.

Damage to the balcony outside my window

And back to the jeans. What I wore today

Same outfit, I just liked the picture

Me outside (had on a jacket for this picture but took it off, it was a nice day out )

Playing on the tree piece that they just left by our garage

The tree left a hole in the garage roof so I had to climb up there and tape it up, it's supposed to rain tonight and we didn't want to deal with it right now (this picture is pre-tape)

Some stuff the tree broke off on the garage, that piece on the left weighs more than 300 pounds, the workers tried to move it and couldn't.

Me on the roof

So thats the end of my novel, ignore all the writing if you want and just look at pictures. There was actually good sunlight today for me to take post-wash pictures, but I never want to take of the jeans and when I do it's to shower or workout. I'll get real post-wash pictures (like me not wearing them) later.

[JohnnyRed]

argh, not digging that cell phone fade

[ChattyPuma]

MP3 player fade?

[bye4now12]

argh, not digging that cell phone fade

I know, I kept it there for the first two and a half months and then i realized it was fading way too fast and looked terrible.

I'm hoping eventually my lap fades catch up and melt together with it.

[Chicken]

jeez, reminds me of a state farm insurance commercial.

regarding cell phone fade, welcome to the club. i ended up buying a wallet just to put my razr in, which is always in my rear left pocket.

I bought a murse from Kamida-San to put extra stuff from my pockets in. Still waiting on that though and my jeans have been in a bubble mailer for over a week now. I've been putting off going to the post office to mail them to BiG for repairs.

I think you mean (like them not being worn). Unless of course you're underwear is equally worth being shown.

[selaviso]

fuck trees haha only ones i like are the ones that get you faded

[inthemix_]

Today I just realized I have a hole at my crotch. It's my second. It's not the construction that caused the hole, the denim wore through.

[cloudhands69]

Since Oct 26 I think

[merzbot]

haven't worn these in about a month since i've been slow to repair the damaged threads. hopefully will get it taken care of over the weekend.

they are good jeans if you enjoy doing repairs

[ChattyPuma]

Holy Crap, Merz. You in construction or something? Doing major renovations to your house?

[merzbot]

nah, just everyday living right now. beer provides me with some good energy to be quite active while hindering my movements ever so slightly that i knock in to various obstacles around town.

[enojy]

awesome, the red thread is a nice touch.

[PG2G]

Nowhere near the wear that most of you have, but I don't think I've ever posted a fit pic, so...

I fail at taking pics
