[OG_M3]

[Dioxic]

Sneak Peak: Sorry for shitty pics, took with iphone. Color is pretty close to color in direct sunlight though.

Spent the weekend in tahoe, decided to take a few quick pics.

Bonus:

beach at tahoe

Decided to try some fried oreos, pbj, twinkies, and cookies....kinda nasty...lol

[beatle]

Dkatz - I love the fit on you

[mr.invincible]

wow....is the water dirty in tahoe?

i dont remember how it was since i havent been there for almost 5-6 years.

[sokjon]

Seriously impressive updates! dkatz and xchen with honourable mention.

Ass and crotch fades are intense. Whiskering on these jeans is pretty unique due to the low cut.

With summer poking it's head around the corner here in Sydney, I feel that my serious winter wearing opportunities have run out

[Boston.]

Much belated 4 month pics

everybody's denim looks really good so far! much better than the other contests to be honest...

pictures taken in the shade with no edits...but they still seem dark compared to others

[aho]

ugh....I leave for 5 days and come back to this??? You're all making me want to drop out of the contest...hahaha but seriously amazing progress everyone, this denim is starting to look real special...everyone must be busting their ass (literally; nice ass fades) in these last few weeks of summer!

[dkatz]

Boston - how did you wash your jeans? Seems like they transformed a good deal through the wash.

Hooray busted-ass pics!

and i really like these thigh close-ups

[who8mahrice]

My jeans have been seeing really little wear this week since I'm at a beach house... Too damn hot to wear them >_< But some awesome shit guys.

[guywithpants]

Whatever yo - the more the merrier! Even if you feel your shit isn't fading "as much" as someone else's, it's still gonna have different characteristics due to different body-types/lifestyles/habits/level of personal hygiene... so it's always interesting to see that variety.

Also I had a few-week head start on most folks (I picked mine up on 3/11)

[Boston.]

I'm with dkatz, lets see some more updates on this page! there is a long way to go before 12 mos is up...

Initially I hotsoaked without detergent and wore them wet until they dried, they were super tight so this allowed me to stretch them out enough to wear comfortably out of the house.

After my Yosemite trip I took them into the tailor and they steam treated them or something...I don't really know but they weren't full dry cleaned nor washed. I only wore them after yosemite on a 45+ mile fixie ride at 9pm with the midnight riders in la (Culver City to Pershing Square Red Line and Up to Hansen Dam off the Noho redline stop) and then I washed them for only the second time.

When I wash I use normal Tide detergent in fairly hard water (350ppm) from my tap in LA. I use cold water with normal rinse/spin cycles and treat jeans just like t-shirts but in their own load. hang or wear dry. i never use the dryer because i feel it takes a lot of the crispness out of the denim and reduces creasing. jeans are one thing I really don't think you should be careful in how you wash - one of the main reasons I buy high end raw and not just Levi's and the like is because I enjoy the different shades of blue/green/purple(i'm still hoping for these DB) and you only truly see that if you don't baby your jeans when washing them i feel like.

That being said, I've torn seam holes in my dior 19cms after washing them in the above manner so your mileage may vary.

[enojy]

A hot dry will really soften raw denim up, in most cases. Texas cotton seems to be the complete opposite in my experience -- weird.

After permanently putting the shitty lines of death into my Samurais by hot drying them after the initial hot wash, I boycott the dryer.

[greasypeanut]

k. i will add some more pictures, mainly because this is the only thread i really care about and like to see it as active as possible. i just recently got back from a week long trip in canada. stayed in toronto, ottawa, montreal and quebec. my mom and i together took about 500 pictures up there....and there are only three pictures of me by myself where u can see my jeans also...and they arent even good lol.

this is the notre dame cathedral in montreal, it costs 5 dollars to get in......i was hoping just being a catholic would grant me a free pass

this was uptop the olympic stadium in montreal

the side of a shop in old town quebec

the parliament building in ottawa

the smallest international bridge in the world

on my way back to humid as fck korea :-\

i will take proper update pics after i wash them again at the end of the month.

[guywithpants]

The altar resembles disney castle to me.

not trying to be sacrilegious

[who8mahrice]

I used to laugh when I read about people complaining their moms washed their jeans. Of course, it happens to me while I'm out with my cousins -___-;;

[cure]
