Holy Grail Denim

[salaami]

i have to have something to aspire to...right? not as impressive as yours (yet..) but i have updates of mine hot off the press in the denime contest thread.

[ashkaun]

I'm pretty excited for the next week. we're guaranteed to have something to add to this. winners of sexfh05 and sexdbxs09 contests.

although in the mean time, i really want iGIT's dry bones up here. sooo nice.

I have to add ranonranonarat's APCs that he just posted. These are definitely the best pair of APCs I've ever seen.

cross post from evo thread..

These are my APCs, gave them one final wash before retiring them.

APC New Cure

26 months, 1 soak 3 washes.

at the rate you're going, you'll probably have a pair of grails by the end of the year. or even sooner.

beatle, your skulls are jaw-dropping. gotta check back onto sufu more often. + rep

I love how this 'bad journalism' thread turned into a wall of amazing fades!

[Happy Hooligan]

These are pretty amazing considering their age, some real late 50's Levi's on ebay.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And especially for Max Power, some roping pics...

speaking of grail vintage, this had me drooling...

[bradl]

What draws you to the more vintage washed out look, as opposed to higher contrast fades? 

[aho]

^All personal taste really...Although I should note that pair I posted is more "grail-y" IMO for it's rarity and condition, not the fading.

 

Regarding the less contrast, washed out look, I've always enjoyed letting the character of the fabric speak for itself and feel it best comes through with frequent, natural washing (when needed). Crinkles, graininess, shades of light blue, etc. are all things I prefer over straight contrast, although I'll still give a nod and a hats off to contrasty pairs. To each his own!

[bradl]

Interesting to hear that point of view, because it's not one you hear very often. 

[Maynard Friedman]

Oh it is, perhaps not on this forum though!

[llvlaglne]

@max power- whose IH-634RAWs are those?

They are pretty fuckin' epic all right, very nice, maybe too nice to actually ever wear?

[501XX4EVER]

Another epic pair of vintage Levi's from ebay, these are so good I could probably post these pics in the Warehouse thread... :D

[altoclefchris]

2 red tabs?

[501XX4EVER]

2 red tabs?

 

Holy shit, I didn't notice that myself, very well spotted. That is very weird and a bit suspicious me thinks, unless it was some sort of major cock up at the factoy back in the day. :huh:

I think there were some historical examples of this feature.  At least there was some sort of justification for implementing the same feature on the denim project contest jeans
