some more pics to enjoy. taken in direct sunlight

here is the stitching coming undone i mentioned previously...you all know the denim is not this greencast, it;s just the lighting. i was sitting in the car and the sunlight was shining through the blue sunscreen shit that's along the top of the windshield(you know what i'm talking about). i fixed it, and the saga continues. as far as the softness of the denim, i'm obviously enrolled in the mikiharu tsujita(mr. fullcount) denim institute, meaning i am of the opinion that ultimately comfort is the most important factor in wearing a pair of jeans. if the garment is not comfy, why the fuck would i want to wear them everyday for 2 years of my life? now as far as stiff/rough denim being more 'vintage/authentic' i highly disagree. all denim is stiff when raw, even denim made from zimbabwe cotton. but wear and wash makes cotton softer. and as far as using the word 'vintage' do the homework and you'll find that the wash techniques used in the past were VERY HARSH, abrasive, and abusive to the denim itself, which probably doubled the rate of indigo loss. if you rub any pair of jeans against a metal washboard, or beat the jeans on a big river rock, the indigo will crock( we would say that's 'cheating' today).that's why a lot of real vintage jeans don't have poppin' whiskers and combs and sufu glorified contrast. and of course the denim will be much softer as a result. i've asked gordon and paul T and neither could say how often the jeans of america's past were washed, or whether the average man wore them everyday on end for months/years, or how long a pair of levis waist overalls would last a hard working man back in the good ole' days. so evidently we know a lot about what the old jeans look like, and how they were washed, but not a lot about how they were worn. so for everybody who considers themselves waxing nostalgic by wearing stiff jeans that they consider more 'vintage', think again...your reward for reading my rant is some bonus pics...

i didn't resize so you can see the fuzz...

roping, i still don't know how i get roping on my jeans even though i never uncuff them, so the inner-hem never scrapes my shoes. all the bleeding on my shoes/boots is actually from the weft side...this is an old tracks pic i dug out of the catacombs. poor lighting.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

haha...my stitching is coming undone on the exact same spot. crazy!

although your pair is more faded around it than mine.

well, where's the bonus pic now?!

[salaami]

goddamn , you people are insatiable!(the roping was the bonus pic) hold on, let me dig up something else...mirror is filthy(i was visiting my moms, blame my lil sis it's her bathroom.) consider this a WAYWT photo from 2 months ago: gwen stefani harajuku lovers tour tee/66xx type/adidas aditennis sneaks. you happy now? note leg twist. i would take a better pic, but i have to send my camera back to cannon for repairs. the lens wont retract for some reason... so no pix for a while.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yes, me very happy!

( the roping pic wasn't up as I posted. Looking great!)

It's raining and just generally shitty outside but I have a lot of time to kill. I'll try to take pics without flash someday this week

66xx Size 32 -- 6 months / since Sept. 10

3 initial washes, none since.

(click for large)

[Atzec]

^i like the evo of the banana in your pics. jeans look good, too- of course. how long are you planning to go before the first wash?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I love the patina. Even after 3 washes it has still ths 'raw-patina'

And now I'm hungry

edit: ok...3 initial washes, should have read better

[Atzec]

here´s some XX denim porn- after wash no.4

color is quite true.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I like the greyish look in the first picture.

After my wash I discovered, guess what: loose threads!

Okay the ones on my backpocket are eaten by my obbigood wallet, but there also ripped a thread on the coin pocket

[pomata]

very nice fading, man!

[amardeep]

how long are you planning to go before the first wash?

I'm sorta just waiting until they look/smell dirty. With my last jeans (eternals) I think I washed them at 3 or 4 months in because I was playing ball in em a lot. Haven't done anything but some serious sitting in these

[ThinFinn]

great pics and evo amardeep and atzec...+rep to both off you!

[gardenerfan]

New Denime jeans are available in Japan now. No more red tab. New denim materials and cutting have been used. It means that you are now wearing a pair of collectible Denime.

[tvshooter]

^damn! guess i'll stop wearing mine now. i still haven't registered on T5 site yet. is there a deadline for that? btw, i'd post more pic's but i'm only a month into wearing these and don't have much to show. maybe i'll have to make a vid or something. . .

[ThinFinn]

^vid would be cool as always mate! ;-)

I don't think there is a deadline but you should register asap.Google translate is yo' friend But tbh, I don't think they give a fuck about the rules due to the Denime selling thing. And yeah, let's see vids man!

[salaami]

tuning in from the lendo lair...lovely evo pics. i wanna know about this new denim.atzecs pics just made a bad day good. wifey is in hospital, so i gotta go!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

all the best to your wife!

[salaami]

hospital wifi is cool...she's getting tested for these seizures she's having as of late, so i'll be here all night. funny thing is the doctor said she can smoke all the weed she wants, although she's a month pregnant now(just found out). he said just keep copping from the same spot, and make sure it ain't laced! wild.

i was walking through the warehouse the other day, and as soon as i put my hands in my pockets, RIIIP! the stitching along the fly popped like 5-6 stitches in the exact spot as everyone else. i fixed it that night with yellow BiG thread. although this has to be more than coincidence, i ain't mad. for some strange reason i like having something to fix every now and then.

i wanna rep amardeep for the mets hat. that's me squad. i've refused to wear any other 59/50 for the past 10 years. yo amar i updated the fullcount post on the denim wiki. ..

[amardeep]

that's the most nonchalant mentioning of having a baby I've ever seen.

congrats salaami!

[salaami]

nah, it's just that the doctors gave her some kind of anti-seizure meds before they found out about the baby, so now they are saying it might cause prenatal complications. so they might have to abort. so before i know what's what, i can't let myselft get hyped up either way. THC helps.

i've been getting no sleep lately, so i've been doing the lendo/bottomless cup thing

[tvshooter]

got you and your fam in my thoughts and prayers bro. too bad i missed u guys today. rocked the Denimes all up in the capitol. . .

[dr.house]

All the best to you and your family salaami.

[pomata]

the stitching along the fly popped like 5-6 stitches in the exact spot as everyone else.

shit that happened to me as well and I noticed some loose threads in another place as well.

good luck Salaami.

[beatle]

sending best wishes to u and ur family, Salaami*
