denime xx type & 66xx type 2 year contest

[amardeep]

The pockets on my 66xxs are making me frustrated, they're harder to get my hands into than my et.811's, which were much slimmer, especially in the thighs.

How do you make pocket holes bigger without distorting the shape?

[salaami]

i don't know if that's possible dude.

lot 775 are just out of the drier from wash #10. lye soap. i'm ironing them right now...pics tomorrow i guess

fuck that, here's a teaser now!

Just stretched the pockets on a pair of WH 660s (my last pair had Skull-tight pockets and ended up distorting and popping the stitching).

Post-soak, I let them dry 'til damp and then, while still fairly damp, hand-stretched the pockets while they hung. The damp denim is pretty malleable at the pockets then. It worked out fine once they dried.

more in the WAYJDT-thread.

bump.

4 months, 3 washes. Gentle fading is growing

[Flash]

i love the way the xx denim fades with all the little viens that come through

[appfaff]

Pomata, those are looking awesome! The color is really starting to come through. They are great. simply great.

SUFU CROSS POST IN THIS BIATCH!

well, let me not get too ahead of myself. this is simply a better version of a check in and the evidence of my super frayed pair...LAME!

ok, lets begin.

Day count (yeah, i did that too)- 135

Soaks- 1

Washes- 3 (11/21, 01/09, 01/26) dates in mm/dd, will add year perhaps next year. lol.

Front of the jeans, from waist to hem

Whiskers, which are setting in a bit, but because of this last wash for repairing reasons i will have to go back and reform them

rear of the JAWNS!

Had to repair this back pocket. also, it houses the Take 5 redmoon, getting them brownie points for doing a double T5 blitzkrieg on this contest. lol

And finally, the damn frayed ass crotch. i hate that i cause so much friction in my movements!

ok, now that the fun part is all said and done, how do you guys recommend i go about fixing it. and sorry about the 'no fit pics' i refuse to wear them until repaired.

[SLAB]

those are looking seriously faded, what kind of movements do you do to have a almost crotch blowout already!?

[Flash]

i hope the new denime managment will keep the same xx denim because all these pairs make me want some 66xx bad ( mabie they will still have some when im in Hong Kong, i realy shouldnt be thinking about new jeans now but what 's one more )

[Atzec]

looking good, deadendpro!

had time to do another (2nd) wash today.

few pics, to keep you entertained-

best washing powder available in germany for jeans imo:

eternals enjoying the party:

hmmmm iindiiigoo:

post wash pics to come...

btw: may i remind you guys to also post on t5 forum? this is important, cause t5 is our sponsor and benny should get to see, that the contest is running well and people are enjoying their jeans.

In all honesty, i do the student thing 80% of the time. class class class. i'm always sitting. however, with the other 20% i'm foot soildering all over the place. i do tend to wear the jeans on average maybe 10-13 hours each time i put them on though, so it all adds up in the end you could say. but i dont ride a bike nor skate*that much*

[deadendpro]

hmmmm iindiiigoo:

mmmmmm... Tokyo Tea? hahahaa

[almostnice]

Atzec,i am using Eco-ver aswell.i agree with you,best detergent imo.

its also recommended in the Free&Easy McCoysbook.

[mr.invincible]

^ proxy?........

[Atzec]

^it hink shipping would be quite expensive.

post wash- 5 months (4.5 of actual wear):

the color is better in these closeups:

[dawei69]

holy cow... everyone has sooo much progress just in 5 month..... Man i hope i have the money the cop a pair before they extinct...

[Satya]

Atzec

love how they fade Atzec, must spread..

[SLAB]

about to cop a pair of 66xx as well before its too late but wont be the take5 contest edition though

[giantsdrink]

Atzec - good call on the ECOver detergent. I'm in Canada and it's some of the best jeans detergent you can find here too.

[almostnice]

not sure how much wear i spend on these.started about a week after the contest began,wore them for a week and switched back to my Fullcounts til 25.Nov.,than back til the Pikebrothers 55 engineers arrived,which was mid-dec.wearing these now since 2 weeks again,so may roughly 6-5 weeks,but dont count me on this.the abrasions you see above happenend mostly this week,when i started to wear them under my bib-overall at work.quiete a difference to sleeping in your nudies,Atzec!

[Atzec]

[dr.house]

[almostnice]

[appfaff]

@TV, did you end up keeping your original pair in the end? They look good.
