thx all and for teh +rep!

I really hope this will help some guys.

and I know that's a huge collection and many years to work on...*sigh*

the S0500 and S710 are a bit tight that's why I need too lose some pounds before I really break them in.

@cents: I didn't want to say it out loud but the new S500JX-LR would be a perfect substitute for the contest pair

[dylanbooth78]

...yeah great pics B--F! must have taken you ages to take all those pics!?!

[morse9443]

yo BF, what a post! you're a mad man.

Which is your favorite pair/fit and why? Since we're on the subject..

[ThinFinn]

you my friend, have a problem... (A good one of course! tried to +rep but you know the deal...) Great visual for reference!

qft ...........

[kit99bar]

dang I still need to spread before I can rep BF!

[vitasoy]

sems like everyone has to spread before repping b_F again haha, nice my friend, i will have that collection in a few years are you rotating all of them?

[everyinchofgod]

+rep, BF. Totally awesome of you to post this.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

thx again guys!

my favorite pair ATM is the 66-2 which I wear for the "Seven Samurai"-project. When I don't wear them (after work) I slip into the S510XX21oz.

I don't rotate them all at the moment as I know some fits are not the most flattering right now...se the S710

But when I look at the pics, I realise that I should wear the S0500XX more often

[Farhad]

I thought it would be a nice idea to give a little visual fit guide for all interested people.

I’ve gained some weight so some fits are tighter than I planned them to be.

My stats

Height: 6’

Weight: 185 lbs

My real waist is now at 35 (used to be 34 and I plan to get that again)

S0500XX 33x36 Lot.12 (SD2)

S0510XX66-2 34x36 Lot.7 (SDO)

S0510XX66-RR 34x36 Lot.12 (SDO)

S3000VX 34x36 Lot.11 (SDO)

S5000VX 34x36 Lot.10 (SDO)

S510XX19oz 34x36 Lot.10 (SDO)

S510XX21oz 34x36 Lot.12 (SDO)

S710XX19oz 33x36 Lot.12 (SD2)

Pictures are all taken today with the same lighting and same distance to the cam. Hopefully this is a little help.

Way of the Samurai!!! $het M8 :eek:

[ranonranonarat]

pat thats amazing work that you have put into your pair. although im not a fan of such contrasting fades, you deserve +rep for your dedication.

[riff]

[pat!!]

Hajduk I won't retire these for a while, but they'll get less wear when I get the FH collabs

[beautiful_FrEaK]

would +rep if I could pat!

these are worth to be framed

[vitasoy]

^ same, those are just so damn nice.. and you haven't even worn them for a year yet right pat?

[pat!!]

b_F your collection should be framed LOL

and vitasoy been definitely over a year haha

[Gilangaditya]

nice jawns pat! +rep

[burningbright]

pat thats amazing work that you have put into your pair. although im not a fan of such contrasting fades, you deserve +rep for your dedication.

Agreed.

I'd be more of a fan if so many denim companies weren't trying to imitate what Pat has so laboriously and lovingly done. Granted, we will always be able to distinguish the genuine article from the pre-wash, pre-distressed garbage that's out there, it still doesn't help that so many companies try and imitate this look and fail epically.

I must admit that the temptation to go all Tanya Harding and crowbar some of these dudes in the knees who wear the pre-comb jeans is really tempting sometimes. Though I'd probably miss due to temporary blindness caused by the shiny glint of their Monarchy douche-wear.

Anyway great work Pat. I'm approaching the 5 month mark on my '05 Jin+Zeroes and still haven't posted any pics yet. Trying to make it to the 6 month mark at the beginning of December before they get a wash. Hopefully the homemade cherry chipotle barbecue sauce I slopped on them will come out. I'll do some pre/post pics then.

[pat!!]

well said burningbright! I've always thought the pre-distressed pairs were unattractive, but to each their own! thanks for the compliments & good luck with the chipotle bbq sauce haha
