^looking fucking good, man!

I had to quote that!

[emmitbrown]

Thanks for the list DP. I noticed that some of you are exactly 1 month in today....where are those evo pics???

[joelz]

^^

I can theoretically take pictures tonight - I still need to work out the mechanics of taking fit pics in a small apartment with a 50mm lens

[Bijan]

Not much to report a month in. Worn everyday, washed again 2 weeks in. A little bit of hige starting to barely come in. Some other lightening of the indigo in the usual spots. I imagine it'll take another month for noticable fading to show up. Best pair of jeans I've owned yet, and that's coming from a WH 1001xx owner.

[emmitbrown]

Sounds good. I've been wearing them a week, and I can already tell that they are going to fade way faster than my Sugarcane 66s. I'm pretty excited about that.

[Knugget]

i have shitty photos. i have shitty roommates.

prewash

postwash

initial thoughts:

feels good to be in raw again

front pockets are TINY same with coin pocket

back pockets are spared super far apart, but they aren't bad when i'm sitting down. they also create a pretty bad flare

i feel that these are slimmer than most in this contest, although i could have sized down one more.

First weekend with 0105C put behind and jeans are slowly softening. These 29"ers feel bigger than my 30"s but that must be the heavier denim that doesn't drape so nicely. Almostnice I like the fit too. I'm sure the hip flare will go away with some wear and tear(s). My problem is "duck tail"...

Thanks for the comments on my "vintagefit",I am starting to like this jeans more and more.I had a "Ducktail" with my Okinawas,that went away after softening up... Compared other jeans I own these doesnt feel that stiff or heavy,might have to do with the 70°C wash,I usually start with a hot soak,never had a 40" inseam before...

[emmitbrown]

Knugget, are they 0105? Great fit either way...would rep if I could.

[almostnice]

Looking really great knugget! 1108 or 0105?

[Knugget]

these are the 1108.

[Denim Phenom]

I'm a month in today so i'll take some pictures when I get home.

[salaami]

the coin pocket is small on the 1108, isn't it? my zippo is eating it for breakfast.

[srok]

Sigh.

My jeans have been stuck in Ireland for over a week now. I sent BiG an email expressing my concern, and thankfully Gordon sent an inquiry to USPS. We're both a bit puzzled by the situation, because the label on the parcel clearly states FINLAND. Imagine getting your custom ordered jeans lost in the post!

You know, there's a natural law in the universe which goes something like this: For everything good you receive, you also receive something you don't like - and usually it's the same thing. There's been so much confusion over my order that when I finally get the jeans, they're bound to be the best jeans I've ever owned.

Thanks for bearing with me. My next post in this thread will contain pictures of my jeans.

[kenthenoob]

thought i'd try double cuffing today:

gives me a cameltoe-like crotch.

seeing some signs of wear in ~3weeks. especially where i carry my knife(-ives)

[emmitbrown]

Anyone check out the blog lately? I posted up my initial fit pictures, but it cut off the right side of the pictures. Can I fix this in any way besides resizing the pictures?

[carol.com]

I've been double cuffing mine also, since they are a little long. I'm gonna send them back to big to get them hemmed.

[almostnice]

Thumbs up for double cuffs! Would love to get my pair hemmed with a chainstitch,but sending them all the way back is out of question.AFAIK there is no possibility for this in Germany

[exhausted]

mine are longer than expected too, and it's probably due to the high front/back rise

[Mr HaGa]

I'm double cuffing as well. I'll be in NYC in about a month so I might get them chainstitched then, or maybe not. I like the double cuff.

I've only been wearing these for about 4 days, and they are completely soft. None of the stiffness I'm so used to whatsoever. Probably because of the initial hotwash instead of a soak. It's going to take a long time for any creases to set on these, so I doubt I'll get any high contrast fading... rather a general vintage faded look...

[tvshooter]

alright kids...got some one month pic's as requested. not a whole lot goin on but they're super comfy and i'm really diggin em. that's about it for now. these are 1108's btw.

[tvshooter]

macro shots cause ya'll love these. . .

[demarco]

what size are you?

doing a hot soak because I went biking in the rain. fml

[opethrapture]

These seem to fade pretty fast!! This competition will get really interesting to follow..

[emmitbrown]

Great pictures and fit, tvshooter. The combs look promising and I love the dart-like fade on your wallet pocket side.

These seem to fade pretty fast!! This competition will get really interesting to follow..

Yeah I can tell from a weeks wear they are going to fade faster than I initially thought.

[tvshooter]

what size are you?

Size 32x34 bro.

[selaviso]

damn those are fading pretty quick! seems like everyone just got their jeans yesterday

[JayFourEyes]

Dammit, tvshooter, those look great on you! Seems like you're gonna get nice fades there. Makes me kind of regret that I didn't go for the 1108 although that was never an option before. The reason for joining was the loser fit but the more pics of tight jeans honeycombs I see on sufu the more I want them. Well, well...

Will wait with posting pics myself since the changes are too subtle. I don't cuff them anymore since they won't stay folded where I want after a wash so at least there's some roping going on.

(messed up the sig pic but I can't re-edit it, keep coming to the preview. "Fuck 4.0" eh?)

[tvshooter]

thanks for the comments. pic's in natural sunlight tend to highlight the wear points and reveal more of the blue hues, especially with the extreme closeups. reality is, they're still pretty fuckin dark! that said, i do wear them probably 12+ hours a day. i'm in and outta a car like 20-50 times a day. seriously. so, they'll get some good wear and tear.

on another note, i'm glad i went with the 1108's. they "fit" my body shape really welll. i think the same is true with the 0105's for you other guys. for me, it's all about selecting a jean that's gonna look like you. know what i'm sayin? skinny jeans don't look good on bigger ppl, vice versa, imho. . .

[salaami]

combs cracking. i just stuck these under the shower yesterday, so there cant be any starch left. i like it. every time they touch water, they shrink back like crack.

[moykky]

0105C 29 x very long. Soft, thick and warm...
