Nice!

Ok, more 37's. (I think mine might be ready for a wash too...)

Plus a bonus side by side pic with my old faves purchased from cultizm a few years back: my 55's. (Please excuse lame photography.)

Posting some pics today due to extensive free time. Hopefully will upload more detailed ones in july. I now know these jeans won't get the insane contrast fades found in other jeans, but im still wearing em' every day and soaking a bout once every two months. At the two year mark I think I'm going to be really happy with how these turn out.

One more pic...just noticed some traintracks starting to break nicely, in this insufferable swampy heat.

How I've been wearing mine in the heat...

Small update on my 47's:

Pretty happy with 'em.

[BAerts]

You should be, they're looking great. :-)

Six month update on my 1955s. I'm guessing around 100 days of wear and six washes.

First two are under the back porch, completely in shade, third was taken under the clouds. The little bit of sunlight getting to them makes the wear stand out more.

Roping is no where near as hard as it is on my MIJ denim, or even compared to a pair of LVC '44s I have. It is starting to wear though. My guess is the back strap on my harness boots is creating the wear.

progress has been slow but sure, and I'm happy with 'em.

Thanks BAerts and nice 55's, setterman!

Update on my pair LVC1947 555

Lost count on how many washes but i think around 4-5 washes? Handwash every time. Rotating them with my ooe..

8 month update: after a summer vacation due to hot weather (mostly wearing shorts) I decided to give them a first wash. Here is the result:

pics were taken in direct sunlight, colors somewhat darker as depicted, but contrasts nicely documented

colors better here:

8 months on my 37s. Just started a new job in a steel processing factory, so hopefully these will get some good wear for a while.

[dr.house]

mdngnd, they look epic. Congrats, one of the best 37's I've seen so far.

[LC_Miey]

^^ I second that. awesome progress

Thirded, wow!

I need to start digging some ditches or something...

[jyoni]

Nice '37s up there!

Sneaking in for an eight-month update of my '44s. Pics are in full indoor sunlight, so they look a bit pale with my pos camera. These were just given their second handwash. A bit premature, but only so many sweatsoaks could be soaked out before they got rancid. Also wanted to shrink the stretch in the knees for a repair.

combs are finally starting to break nicely

A surgical stitch was the easiest repair for the zippo blowout, so I figured I'd just let it be a little rough. I like the fadings around the lower stitches!

Hemmed square patch for the knee. This will be a high-traffic repair, so I backstitched it fully around the patch and the blowout. Then did a light serge-type stitch around the edge of the damage.

^LVC does not cease to impress! Very nice progress everyone esp. given the amount of time...

[mdngnd]

Must spread, jyoni. I dig the repairs. They stand out without being over the top.

[xander]

Jyoni,awsome 37's.

Some photos of my 47's, almost 9 months worth of wear, 2 washes.
