Denim worn over 2 years

[CrashTestBrummie]

it's gonna be a couple of months before I can contribute to this... and I've worn other jeans in the same period, but the long-termers have been the mainstay of my denimism...does that count?

THE MORE YOU WASH/SOAK YOUR JEANS THE BETTER CHANCE THEY WILL LAST 2+YEARS;)

BUT HOW TO GET FADEZZZZ??? (iron?)

[Paul T]

with the evo thread, and the holy grail thread.

why does this thread even exist?

It's a tricky one to grasp, I know, but a fair inference might be that it exists to showcase denim that's been worn over two years, all in one place.

you can't be serious...

BUT HOW TO GET FADEZZZZ??? (iron?)

pretty much denim lasts longer when you wash it because the sweat, dirt, and oil from wearing jeans chemically breaks down the denim and causes holes and blowouts. good quality denim is not supposed to lose that much indigo when washed. fades come from abrasions and not from washing

erk - just think about it this way ..it looks like some of us are growing old with sufu...there's a good chance we will get to see the "Jeans worn for over 10 years" thread..which basically is still a "Jeans worn for over 2 years" thread....in other words - you can post jeans that have been worn for more than 10 years in both threads - whilst a pair that has been worn for more than 2 years but not for more than 10 years would go in the original "worn for over 2 years thread" . It all makes sense.

yeah, some of us may have lost some of our enthusiasm for raw denim, but the grail and 2 year threads are condensed versions, like the best of the best. so i guess a 2 year grail pair can go into both threads i guess...

hopefully these two new threads will encourage more of us to wear our jeans longer. send that blown out pair to SE or BiG, get em' fixed and keep em' going.

[Dick Danger]

Guess I'll break out the 3000BKs for the party.

I'd like to see some more posts in this thread! I love those APCs that were posted.

This is my pair of Skull 5010-xx 6x6 raw. Thanks to Kiya at Self Edge.

They've been worn every day with very little exception for 2 years and 4 months now. The photos below were taken at just over 2 years.

They are falling apart all over the place and I'm uncertain if I'll be able to meet my 3-year daily wear goal. I've done lots of repairs myself (thanks to Fab Four for the repair kit) but it is becoming a weekly task now. We'll see how long they can hold out for!

[ranonranonarat]

depth of whiskering is amazing!!! +rep!!!!!

[jwsach]

hey those jawnz are naicce. +rep on those whiskers!

[salaami]

superb jackboot! they need to go to SE for a complete reinforcement and overhaul, and back to business. amazing

[kiya]

Those look seriously amazing.

That money shot of the rear yoke is great.

[madapaka]

My retired Levis 501xx

[ranonranonarat]

wow, info on those fobdot?

[Fobdot]

wow, info on those fobdot?

Well I bought them in 2 summers ago in Taiwan. They were selling these for about 100 USD. They were raw, selvedge and felt nice. Its fucking humid and hot in Taiwan which is why I think they faded so well compared to other pairs of Levis. Wore em every day for a year and on and off with other pairs for the second. I took the pictures with an Iphone and I hope to retake better pictures later this week for more detail.

[jwsach]

wow those Levis are AM-az-ing.

seriously one of the best ive seen that are reissues.

[watchyrscrew]

looks like some of the thai fakes or sumting to me. Not that it matters at all, those are some gorgeous jeans

[cheapmuthafukr]

warehouse sufu 660 contest jeans. the wife took em over last year sometime, so she gets credit for alot of the wear.

since october 07.

[rnrswitch]

My retired Levis 501xx

These are fakes. Better looking than typical levis as well.

Cross Post from "Eternal 868 10th Anniversary - Arrived!" thread. I also posted these in the Eternal thread sometime back. 2 Plus years and they have lost some indigo and had a few repairs since these photographs. For over a year they were my 5-7 day a week work jeans. Before that were my after work jeans.

[Tarmac]

^ those eternals are fkin beautiful

I have old joints but I am not very rough with em, here you go. my IH are going on 3 years but they look like most people's 6-month. I won't post them here, u prolly laffz

APC, purchased something like Sep 2005, fakkk

[dawei69]

I think we need to specify something here... 2 years of "effective wear" as opposed to "I've had these in my closest for 2 years and wear them on weekends"

[beautiful_FrEaK]

probably already known but you'll find here some pairs which would match the requirements:

that japanese site is full of grailiness!

here's my contribution to this thread, miki san's 5 year worn FC. gordon confirmed that miki wore them for at least 5 years. respect the architect bitches!

here are the sams, not quite a full 2 years, but they took all they could...neg me if they don't measure up...color is really this white, trust.

this thread kicks arse. i meant to rotate sam pics, but oh well.

[aho]

lol salaami they more than measure up...Even if they aren't officially 2 years, they are more 5 years than everyone's average 2 year...if that makes any sense?

[Lendo]

Salaami's Sam's are truly whiter than a bologna sandwich with american cheese on wonderbread with mayo (cold of course).

They are also light as a feather.

Truth.
