Everyone's jeans are looking great! Fun contest...

Here is an update on my 37's before they go back into the shop for more repairs...

[Bob*66]

but different

i had do some repairs

[The Dude abides.]

Jeans are wearing thin and falling apart all over. Won't bother with anymore real repairs from here on out, just a quick stitch here and there. Waay to much maintenance to even consider daily wear; they are just too delicate at this point for me as a day to day pant. Perfect for shooting the shit and drinking beer though!

Amazing contest...glad to see all these pairs coming out of the woodworks...Couldn't rep any but I'll be back for ya'll

[jyoni]

I know what you mean, The Dude abides. Mine are like parchment!

Hope all is well for you, Xander.

Here's my next-to-last update. For final pics I will dig up my tripod and a gray sheet.

go little patch, go

they look so good jyoni, are they stil wearable?

[Reggie Died]

I don't think these will get much more wear during the contest, as they are fairly beat up and too thin for winter work wear. Be that as it may, I hope to give them another wash and some better pictures as the contest winds down.

In all honesty, I was never a huge fan of these jeans. The fit was never right, and so were relegated to work duty since the contest started. Loose jeans + lots of washes = uninteresting jeans, IMHO, but to each their own.

And I'm not knocking LVC at all. Conversley, my all time favorite pair of jeans are my 55's. I've had them going on 3 years and they are still my go-to pair.

The fit is just-right (borderline perfect post-soak/wash, but tend to stretch out a *bit* too much), the denim is the perfect thickness and the dye is unbelievable. I wish I went with a second pair of 55's for the contest, but it's almost 2 years too late now...

Barely. They unravel a little bit each time I wear them. I can only use them for work if I'm fairly stationary, cabinets and whatnot. Doing a stair, mouldings, or say sheetrocking in these, would be out of the question at this point.

If the fit was still ideal, I'd wear them casually alot more.

They look great, too bad you can't wear them more often. For the past month my 55s have only been worn once or twice a week max. Had them on them on yesterday and today, going to give them a wash tonight and put them away for the winter.

Some damn fine pairs been posted here recently. Great thing about this contest is all the different models and approaches take to them. I'm really liking how some of the 33s and 37s turned out.

Hi all,

Life has kicked my ass the past few months and I've been delinquent about posting updates, but here's mine.

[jyoni]

Would anyone be pissed off if I had a friend do the final photos? He'd be able to capture these as close to true life as possible. I've provided such crap photos over the past couple of years. It would be nice to have some sweet pics at least once.

[aho]

^Post the pics!

[jyoni]

If there is no objection, I will do it. We've only today started talking about it. I believe he thinks I want true film at this point. I wouldn't mind having that kind of print just to have it, as long as a scan would be on par with full digital.

[BAerts]

Seriously, rep all around. I can't even believe how beat to shit most of these jeans are. You boys did 'em right!

[joelz]

did some repairs on the pocket that has my wallet. should be fun when this is all said and done.

[sneekylyric078]

I know my post count is really low, my old account got deleted, but i did join this contest...when do final photos have to be posted by? I see my old post is under "guest_sneekylyric078" I wonder what happened?

I was going to take photos today but I wanted one last soak. The fit is not horrible with a fresh shrinking. They're drying atm.

Tomorrow I will just try some photos with a tripod against a fresh grey tile sheet. If they don't turn out ideal, I'll go the rigmorale of a shoot.

These have made me realise what a great cut the 37's are. In these days of low rise jeans it is easy to forget that this is not really ideal for men. I love the 55 jean but I almost think the cut on the 37 is better. I have never seen proper measurements (a la B.I.G) but the rise on the 37's looks to be about an inch or so more. Anyone know?

I hope he uses Kodachrome for you. Kodachrome 25 brings out deep indigo like nothing else. I have a few old snaps to prove it!

[joelz]

gonna do photos this weekend, aren't we all in the required posting period now?
