Yo where you guys at.

[randomkoreandude]

i guess everyones waiting to give their second month updates

[Markk]

All the time I've had mine, it's been in the high 80s and 90s. I'll still post fit pictures soon to speed this up, though.

[who8mahrice]

Can't decide if I want to soak these or not. Don't think they'd drip dry soon enough before I need to get on my flight...and don't really want to put in the dryer. What to do, what to do.

The blue's really coming in now. Crotch is fraying though...

[echau]

fading is coming along slowly on my pair. they're in rotation w/ another pair.

[PandaDenim]

I'm washing them once before I leave for summer.

[greasypeanut]

im still debating on whether to do the whole, soak every month thing. i havent seen much change in the last month other than more pronounced wallet fade

[enojy]

No updates from me. I've finally decided to start wearing them, but I enjoy breaking in my Samurais more, so my contest pair get worn like once a week.

Kind of enjoying the slightly relaxed fit. Combined with the relatively light weight, they make for a great summer jean. Been sagging them though, and I don't do sagging, haha. Kind of funny.

I thought about that too, but mine are starting to show some fading so I'm gonna hold back for now.

[who8mahrice]

Soaked them last night. Threw them in the dryer for about 5 minutes afterwards...super blue dryer now.

So two main sets of photos. First one's in the sun, represents the color of the jeans better, though the blue is a bit brighter IRL. Second shot is in the shade, shows fading better. And lastly, obligatory crotch shot. You can see from fraying.

[aho]

I wish I had more to update on but like seemingly most others, not much going on since my last update...

[dkatz]

While I was camping in Big Sur the past few days, a skunk decided I need to wash my jeans. Dick.

Probably gonna do that today.

[greasypeanut]

hopefully these will get more wear once i start my job in korea instead of just bumming around at home

[dkatz]

CRAAAAAAAAP. Regular inside-out wash didn't get rid of the skunk. Trying a serious dousing of baking soda dilute + shit-ton of febreeze antimicrobial and an overnight air-out.

Shittt. That sucks man, maybe you should try like the cures for smell on humans? Like dip in tomato juice and then wash? It shouldn't turn red or anything if it's just for a little bit.

I dunno...maybe like an oatmeal soak? then a wash? was raised on hilarious natural medical cures?(y)

I just been skating in mine a lot recently, friend lent me his board. I cannot do any tricks besides the manual...which I can barely hold...shit's tough.

keep at it man! and check out youtube for trick tips. its helped me out by showing me different ways to place my feet when trying tricks

[Boston.]

yo greasy you need to not fuck with your photos before you post them.

definite sharpness and contrast boost going on there. don't do that shit so we can compare fairly. seriously.

[randomkoreandude]

burned ...

[greasypeanut]

ummm they arent edited in any way. i can send u straight from camera jpegs if u want or retake some pictures tomorrow in RAW format and have someone else process them. i use a nikon d80 not some cheap point and shoot.

edit: i can see how u think theres a sharpness boost tho. but thats because the picture was originally 3872x2592 and it was shrunk to 598x400. even a blurry picture becomes sharp when there is a drastic resolution decrease like that

[PandaDenim]

Chill.

Only the final pictures matter really right?

Cut the guy some slack.

[vamks]

Seriously, no one judges until 1 year.

[enojy]

Those pictures were taken in a truck bed, probably in direct sunlight. Doesn't look out of the ordinary to me.

Thanks for the tips. The baking soda and vinegar each helped a bit, and at this point I'm thinking fuck it... if I wear them enough, it'll go away. It's not too bad.

WOOT WOOT! After a month of accepting that my jeans were lost, found em in a closet at a friends house. Will post pics soon.

[showbiz00ditc]

guess i should probably subscribe to this

[PandaDenim]

Hey dkatz you seem to be the only other guy who is inspecting his denim closely...

So I want to know if that shine goes away after a wash? I think it's resin but I think it's making the jeans super hot to wear...I'm hoping the wash I do after school is out makes it cooler, otherwise it won't get a lot of wear while I'm in Asia...

[guywithpants]

i washed mine this weekend

they don't look as shiny as they did before

i can post comparison pics tomorrow

i know im not dkatz, but ive soaked these things twice, and the shine has gone away, and now that u mention it, these do appear to be "cooler" or maybe i just got used to it /shrug

[vamks]

I don't know if you can attribute the "heat" to the resin or the fact that it's 16oz denim. Or simply the fact that it's pretty ridiculous to be wearing denim in the summer in anyplace with a decent amount of humidity.

But I guess that's what makes us SUFUers.
