denime xx type & 66xx type 2 year contest

[Atzec]

7.5 months

best color in 1st and 2nd pic

this contest is really getting interesting now imo.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yeah...now more and more pairs show some decent wear

[almostnice]

looking good Atzec,mine are in the wash right now,50°C with Ecover liquid.

prepics:

[Atzec]

thanks, markus.

your knees are almost white, man. crazy. and this picperfectly shows the structure of the denim:

love it.

[almostnice]

here is a close-up of the knees,not very crisp though:

wearing them under my bib-overall at work helps a lot.most stains get rubbed away aswell,kind of "dry-cleaning" but without nasty chemicals.

just took them out of the washer,lost another inch in lenght,measuring 34" now,waist is 32.legtwist increased also a good amount.

beginner fadez.

[almostnice]

what else would i expect from our little italian stallion on a friday night?

[Atzec]

i´d expect he couldn´t post anything, cause he already had one and a half beers, which is quite too much for him...

[pomata]

HAHA. I wish I were drinking but I'm still @ work.

btw, I'm still waiting for almostnice to drive his sidecar full of good german beer down here. in exchange, I can teach him how to wear jinzu the right way and to fade them nicely.

It's too late to get in on this, right? I've been working on a pair of Buzz Rickson jeans but I'm getting restless about this XX model.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yes...much too late. sorry

[jstavrin]

No worries. I was looking to get a pair anyway. The contest would have been an added bonus.

[almostnice]

postwash pics:

legtwist isnt that pronounced when wearing them actually,but thats how they shaped whilst drying.colour is more correct in the fit pics:

not that much difference since my last update 4 weeks ago,but i like the subtle progression.its also another evidence how well they keep the indigo.

[salaami]

the plot thickens...

[Atzec]

latest repair...

[beatle]

rep for creativity

[dr.house]

@ almostnice: you spend a lot of time on yo' knees buddy? Seriously, NICE!

@atzec: bored and getting creative? Super!

[amardeep]

What ever happened to kino I thought she was in this too?

[Atzec]

^yes she definitely was.

[salaami]

went 2 weeks this time...i had to doublewash since all the dirt didn't come out. i did the stone-wall job last week and didn't have time to wash so i just beat them with my hands until the dirt/dust was less apparent. so this time mad indigo and dirt came out. kirk's castille soap, hot dry

dope repair atzec,very nice touch. i need to repair the top of the back pocket stitching as well.

[dr.house]

...and the denim is still hairy ;-)

[beautiful_FrEaK]

to bump that thread

some close-ups of the beautiful Denime denim with my new cam

[salaami]

bumpity bump...took some pics yesterday, cause i was bored. enjoy...

ropes:

right back-pocket hole:

this was the coinpocket a few months ago.

it's much worse now, so i did this:

i used vintage evis denim(redline) from our boy Flash( go ireland!) i skewed the denim so that the denime rivet still shows. ..

posterior:

front, this is as good as it gets, this is truly what the jeans look like in this one, and the one above. natural light, just not shining on the jeans

the fly from a whore's eye view:

[almostnice]

bump numero 3.

yesterday:

which camera did you buy,Tillmann?

...................................................................

[almostnice]

salaami,thats an insane pair,

frontside is unreal,esp. the traintracks!

[dr.house]

Nice progress Tilmann, Salaami* & Marcus!

Here's what I really love...

...and here's what I really hate :-x:

Broken threads at the backseam. Honestly, I've never seen such a terrible thread quality on any other jean, it's a shame cuz' I can't wear the Denimes as much as I want to if they should last long (and that's what a pair of good denim should do imo). This will be the 2nd repair (worn 80 times!), after that I'll wear them much rarer...It's a shame to baby the Denimes, I love that beautiful denim, the wonderful cut and the way they fade, but I don't want them to get fucked up.

* the front is outa this world buddy, the backside's a bit boring. You should wear them a few weeks reversed...seriously, great and I agree with almostnice, dope traintracks.

[Flash]

must spread but those are insane salaami

[pomata]

great looking vintage jeans everybody!

salaami's pair is crazy.

I had a bad surprise after the last wash. My gf washed them with some other items and with dr. bronners. The faded parts were greyish before the wash and now they have a strange blue hint that doesn't come from the denim I'm sure. shit, I hope they'll look better after some more wear and washes...

[ThinFinn]

^good luck with that ale...crossing my fingers!

@salaam: You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to salaami again.

great vintage fadings!...kinda love it

Wash 'em again seperately with a bit of regular washing powder, I'm sure the crap will disappear.
