horriblyjollyjinx, how tall are you if you don't mind my asking.... I would kill for a size 27 waist.

[horriblyjollyjinx]

Not very tall, and those are about 36" as you probably know.. My waist is actually 31.5 though.

Your Nudies look cool. If I wasn't in college and didn't need to spend money on alcohol, I' buy a pair myslef. But I'd honestly just throw your APCs away. Those joints are disgusting.

[andrewfuncrew]

those apc's with the knucks in the back pocket are pretty legit

my friend did that to some levis when we were like sophomores in high schoool

before either of us knew about dry denim

he just scraped the back pocket against the ground

oh the good ol days

ill post pix of my dry flare glenn ASAP

so tight

yo post pics of youre apc after the wash.

its been a little while since ive updated you guys on these... sorry about the photo quality, the camera was sub-par.

when they were cleaner after the first wash they looked more light blue in the faded areas but as you can see (especially in picture three) they are getting pretty dirty, so it takes a way from the contrast a bit. however, i think im gonna do at least another 5 months until i wash them again (its been a bit more than a month since the first time i washed them).

^^^see, what the hell....why dont my apc's look like that?.......i think its cause they are too fucking big.......oh well, they are drying off right now.....ill post pics in a bit after i get back from class

about 6-7 months probably. washed them in warm water (to try and fade off a little color) with arm and hammer liquid detergent (nothing special) and let them soak in there for a bit, washed the soap off with pretty hot water. then hung them up to dry. I dont recommend anyone to wash their denim unless they have really worn them in first. I wore them every day for every activity i did, until the point where im sure people around me could smell them on the subway and they felt disgusting to wear (there was pretty much a layer of dirt on them). denim is not going to look like its been through a lot unless it actually has, there are no real shortcuts, starching helps a bit...but just wear your jeans and you'll get results.

haha whats that in the pocket? it looks like a condom but of course it cant be. what is it>

[darknworn]

2, those apc's look positively dirty. rock on brother!

It's funny to see so many people rocking the knuckle duster. We're a fuckin' SuperFuture gang.

Here's my A.P.C. New Standards at about 3.5 months with no wash. At about 2.5 months the fading just starts to happen so fast. I starch behind my knees and thighs every once in a while, and about once a week I flip them shits inside out, hit them with the Febreeze Antimicrobial, and let them hang outside over night. They have NO SMELL whatsoever, and I skate in these joints a good five, or so, days a week. I'm not sure if I'll ever even wash them, because the fading will become SO contrasting. I might just start regularly dry cleaning them. Whatevs. Enjoy...

Holy..those look gangsta...all these new standard pics are making me feel like getting one instead of the rescues...

[eastcoastrider27]

Tragic, could you please tell me how big the leg opening on your new standards is?

Thank you...(They look great by the way)

NyM...

[Hustla]

dam tragic those look fucking clean.. puts my pair to shame haha

I knew i shoulda have gotten it a waist size down.. my pair is too baggy and they stretched like hell.

[dnnsmanace]

Im betting money that big labels will start selling washes with the brass knuckles wear in back pocket.

[darknworn]

wow tragic's jeans are fucking crazy.

[134]

TragicBliss, your jeans are amazing.

Edited by 134 on Oct 14, 2005 at 03:07 PM

[adsurgo]

im not tragic bliss but the last 3 questions are madd general so here goes...

2. you spray it on.

3. they stretch out. it is probably smarter to downsize enough as to where you think you need a size bigger.

4. you put em in your pocket...

[Hustla]

shit.. and i thought i was the only one with the knuckles..

[134]

So he's been walking around with brass knucles in the back of his pocket for 3 1/2 months?

[adsurgo]

id assume. either that or they showed so much impression after a month or so that he took em out so they wont rip threw.

[134]

Does anyone have any theories as to what would happen if I burried a pair of APCs in my backyard for a month or two?

[adsurgo]

they would get dirty and probably fade alot where they are creased from being smashed.

[rnrswitch]

Yo kixslf,

Those APCs should come out just fine. They look like they still have some of the stiffness to them which is good. Wait a couple of months and the fading should be a little more defined around the lap area.
