[Denim Phenom]

Less pictures of unbuttoning jeans. Some of us are at work.

Otherwise, nice so far.

[heflys]

this is a potato

Thanks for the confirmation.......

[Opie]

Nice pictures! I almost feeling like joining the boyscouts. Can't rep you again though : /

I turned 20 in Afghanistan, 21 in Nepal. Gawd, am I glad to be past the stage of living on the roadside. I still have one pair of jeans that have three layers of patches on patches from that road trip. But they started out as cheap Levis. Such a weird personal economy to spend major cash on fashion items, then live like hobos. It's oddly cool, but heavy on the odd. Must be trust fund babies.

I do like the photos, tho.

[M.O.A]

it is marathon, not a sprint

you're jeans wont make it 12 months....

but by all means... wear the shit out of them.

[billy.]

i dont get the thighs.

obviously you guys are fucking EXTREME.

but wouldnt you have more wear on the backside?

[klue]

Thanks for the confirmation.......

WOW! they must!

how did you wash 'em?

Hand wash in the shower

[klue]

i dont get the thighs.

The handwash was inconsistent, there's still a lot of charcol a d dirt on the inner thigh

[salaami]

wow...those look like a pair of eternals took a few tabs and ran out into traffic! if they repair them as often as they say, they'll last. its only fabric. you can stitch back just about anything, or add a patch.

[driftingdunk]

Salaami,

Sadly there is a limit. My APC's are just about finished, i think there was a total of 3 or 4 crotch rips/blowouts... But im all for running them to the ground..

Klue, wish i could spread some rep. Absolutely nuts.

Its going to end up with 2 months of wear, and throwing them into the corner until the year ends, and theyll still look more worn than most the jeans..

I really hope they last at least 6 months, but i really doubt it..

i was messin around with my pic's in photobucket and fucked up the links. now they're gone. i'll post updated pic's later. is anyone else from VA in the contest?

[demarco]

By far the worst fades I've seen on these jeans. No offense, but hanging out in a forest or in your small town jumping from tree to tree doing things that involve getting awesome fades on these after three weeks, I can only picture you dudes grinding up on tree bark with a complete serious face on with how awesome your pants will look in the end. It seems wicked lame.

While I'm not curious how your jeans are turning out now because they look very fake, Im quite interested in what will be left of them, this time next year.

[denimformytummy]

wazz up with the hate.

jeans were invented in the past to take abusive wear...

hanging out in the forest and jumping from tree r better than being potato couch. That's what people did in the past when there was no TV, internet, computer. They spent much time outside their house and be active.

[demarco]

I fully agree being outside is better than being inside, but these dudes also have me beat with posting in this thread. See what I'm saying?

[Kuponatz]

Doesnt anyone else have their own contest jeans worth posting about? THeres a separate thread set up for bashing the state college blasphemers.

I put the tab on today. All I had was some pinkish thread, but I think it turned out well. Also, you can see a tiny, tiny bit of blue in the middle of the pocket from the eventual wallet fade.

[selaviso]

stop being so technical with THEIR jeans... there was already God knows how many pages of waste in here about em. sit back and watch the show people.

[salaami]

its been four months now, and i must say i've been thoroughly enjoying the fuck out of these jeans. they'll get their second wash(dr. bronners hand wash every 2 mos.) tomorrow. i'm not looking forward to it only because the 1000xx WH denim is great, but not nearly as comfy as the FC denim. i mean sometimes i forget i have on jeans, like i have on some some old RL khakis. good thing these hang dry quickly. i might wait until it gets warm this week or next...

probs going down to Canterbury this weekend, so look forward to more mofonyx-esque pics of sceneries and greens because I don't have sick-ass fades like klue (refer earlier post on page 158).

[mofonyx]

No pics of Canterbury but I report back with the most painful experience wearing the FullCounts to date.

It was a mixed weather today, really odd. When I first got there it was drizzling, which was fine to walk to the city. Then the sun came up after lunch. All good sunshine and happy.

Walking up to see the Canterbury Uni campus, it hailed midway. We were walking uphill and my jeans was soaked in the hailstorm. Consequently, the fabric became very abrasive and started causing abrasions on my thigh.

It hurt really bad, my whole thigh is now red like it was whipped by a dominatrix. Moisturiser and a few days off the FC 0105C should do me some good. But ouch.

[Bijan]

Just threw mine in the wash for the third or fourth time. I'll try to post pics in the morning.

I rolled myself down my street for five blocks. Cars were honking, and I incited more than a few road rage incidents. I'm really sore and bruised up, but I looked avant-garde doing it and I should get some sick fadez. Fuck it, money grows on trees.

Not really.

[frostanubis]
