Denim Experiments

[Largo]

This reminds me, actually. I was staring at those persimmon Sugar Canes a month or two ago, and had an odd inspiration. I took a pair of Thai Levis I'd gotten to experiment on (sandpaper, scissors, other frowned upon practices), and buried them in a bucket of mud and mangosteen rinds, wondering if any of the color (purple) from the mangosteen would transfer to the jeans. Left them for three or so days, and washed 'em twice once they were dry. Results were....inconclusive.

The mangosteen stains, closer up:

Also the rivets became incredibly crusty:

the gallery page is really really cool, sam -- great work! (you and your web designer )

can't wait to see don's jeans...

Thanks Snuggs-

I wish I could take the credit, but Ryan and Akre are the ones deserving of all the accolades. I'm just the mouthpiece.

Keep your eye on it as we have quite a few pair of jeans to add, several of which belong to Superfuturians.

I am very glad to hear that, Sam. Are they all going to be brands available in the store, or are you going to let an Eternal or a 45 RPM sneak in every once-in-a-while?

[sam113]

As long as they come from our friends/customers we'll consider any brand.

It depends how amazing the jeans are.

[tweeds]

really like the gallery interface, sam--and post Don's jeans in the Evolution thread if you would as well!

Would anyone try wearing their jeans inside out? I wonder how the fade will look like after 1 year, outside out.

APC made a pair of jeans with the indigo on the inside. Anyone ever worn in a pair?

[Bill2]

I know Christophe from Mister Freedom left his MFxSC's balled up on the roof of Mr. Freedom for about two months before wearing them....I wonder how they turned out.

i got an idea...

someone put dummy legs on a pair of jeans, tie to the back of a car and drag it around parking lot for ultimate verical lines... or put the jeans sideways and get horizontal lines...

i dont have a car so i cant do this myself

[Pandemonium]

that's been done on tv.

they did a voter comparison between a pair of 'designer distressed' and a cheap pair of jeans that were beaten to shit because they were taildragged behind a car with a load of weight to keep it on the ground.

most people voted that the cheap pair looked more expensive.

of course, they were both ugly but then again, that was the day of the bohemian craze.

[wild style]

I was wondering just the other day what had happened to the wilderness jeans. Update?

Rome1 and I put a pair of Rustlers on the roof of the skateshop where we work. It's only been 2 weeks, but we'll see what happens. Photos to come.

tie them to the back of your bicycle then...

One of the ideas I had was to do that but take a photo of each day and do a movie of 365 frames.

I am going to do this. I dont know with which jeans to do it with. I just got 2 new pairs, Evisu Deluxe 17oz and some Samurais.

[nikesber]

any more ideas? ill do one.

[Ahlvahroe]

any more ideas? ill do one.

i got a good one, ive mentioned it before but you should wear in some raw mall jeans. i want to see if they hold up to our standards. its not really crazy but i want to see if we are elevating some thing with just reasoning or cause it makes us feel better about dropping hella change on 1 pair of pants.

[the wit of the staircase]

i was going to sand blast an old pair of nudies. but i broke the sand blaster.

[Chicken]

i have to bring up tg's successful experiments with denim here. especially her squiggly jeans are crazy and cool.

her thong, on the other hand, is crazy and possibly sexy or scary, depending on who's wearing it.

[nikesber]

yuck thats the ugliest pants/thong ive ever seen no offense!

[Tyro1]

nikesber, could you post some pics of you in some nice looking thongs then?

[Fabulaz]

nikesber, could you post some pics of you in some nice looking thongs then?

Please take that back.

I am going to do this. I dont know with which jeans to do it with. I just got 2 new pairs, Evisu Deluxe 17oz and some Samurais.

was doing this with diors - front and back pics - changes were so gradual that i got bored after 32 days.

cool part while i was doing it, though, was if i spent the night somewhere else - the jeans would have a diff background. chronicle your love life via jeans

[toufu]

its not a nudie thong its a tg thong...

the fuck does it have to do with nudie?

[mr fluffernutter]

No, he's not a fat chick... There's just no Nudie thong.

[toufu]

Sorry ... Oh, you must be fucking a fat chick, huh? Don't worry you retard sack of shit -- we won't hold it against you.

lol...who's "we" ?

[mr fluffernutter]

Well, I did not say he was, I think I said, "Sorry ... Oh, you must be fucking a fat chick, huh?" Wait ... yeah, that was exactly what I said.

Still, there's no Nudie thong. But thanks for coming out.
