'33 501s (lvc) progress report

[docdoom]

Somebody a week or so ago asked to post pics so here we go! Im pretty pleased with them, have hammered them, the hems got dragged on the floor abit, but thats cool. I got them about two years ago and hammered them for about 3 months and then have worn them in rotation. They have been washed about 5 times i would guess. I love the twist on the leg, looks so cool and antique. My next pair of lvs are deffo gonna be a slimmer cut, maybe '44s or similar. I also love how thin the selvedge line is on these, you can't really see but higher up the inside of the leg the two red lines have transferred thier dye over to the cloth.

Nicely, Dr! It was me asked you to post. I'm interested as I'm planning on giving my 33's their transformation wash sometime soon (I keep on going to do it and then thinking nah I'll leave it a little longer ) and I'm wondering what to expect ... I've dry cleaned mine twice but never washed them, and I guess worn them solid about 9 or 10 months in total.

Know what you're saying about the Loose fit - I'm rotating LVC deadstock 37's and they're HUGE. Next time I'd buy a slimmer cut, too ....

How's the wear behind the knees?

nothing special behind the knees, some mild honeycombing. Im not commited enough for this whole 10months thing!! Yours should look pretty banging when you do wash them! Be sure to post.

you have glorious fading, but not much in the way of creases, but your amazing color makes up for it completely A+!

chwa?

[docdoom]

Thanks! I think i washed too often to get any crazy creases. The depth of colour brings a smile to my face though!
