#127--i should have taken better pics in the sunlight, but even if I did, it couldn't compare to a lot of those beauties. Hats off to you hard-wearin' dudes.

2009 Update

Been switching between these and my skulls. Will have better quality photos up hopefully.
These will be on break once I receive my Fullcount contest jeans.

Near Future Is Now!

#127, ended 11/9
My apologies for poor lighting!

1 Year

2008-11-09T21:54:00.000-08:00

Today was the start and is the end for my jeans.
I haven't washed them yet and probably don't play to wash for a little while long--maybe New Years.
I won't bother with photos because they don't look much different from the previous posted.
It's been an.. interesting adventure.
Will update with pics in the near future.

Cheers!

Halloween Update

Well it's about that time. I thought I'd post some pics that I took today. I don't know if I'm going to wash them by November 9, so posting them 9 Days early shouldn't really matter all that much.
Here you go!

recorded this a few days ago. just to update a little:

Crotch Blow Out!

2008-09-28T23:33:00.000-07:00

a few weeks ago my crow blew out and some weeks later my mom repaired the hole.

...a little more than 1 month to go!

lost count of washes

2008-05-28T14:38:00.000-07:00

worn for around 6 months now... i think

pre-wash

post-wash

finally a picture update

2008-05-11T00:49:00.001-07:00

around 5 months now i think?
a very short/lame update:

thanks mike for the picture.

update

2008-05-03T09:58:00.000-07:00

soaked may 1, finally dried this morning. denim isn't all that fuzzy anymore.

Update..

2008-04-30T23:59:00.000-07:00

I Think it's been about 5 months of wear now.
Got my aunt to re-stitch the hem with the same yellow threading--looks a lot better now.
going to be wearing these for a while--most likely on and off with my skull 5010xx 6x6.
thinking about doing a cold soak, but might hold back on it or just say "fuck it!" and soak them. whatever.

Update

2008-04-04T17:34:00.000-07:00

After those 4 months, I kind of stopped wearing these. I realized they were too baggy for my taste, so I put my APCs back on. After about another month or so, I got my mom to hem them. Bad idea I guess, because she didn't have the yellow thread, so she used blue to match the denim. It looks kinda "fobby."
I washed them with my APCs about a week ago to shrink them. I think Im' going to have to get these 660s tapered and re-chainstitched.

4 months or something.

2008-03-05T13:38:00.000-08:00

haven't worn them for a week or so. baggy shits.

"bonus shot"

Soaked! (1/30/07)

2008-01-31T13:43:00.000-08:00

jeans were a little to baggy, so i hotsoaked for a few hours and then threw in dryer.
normally i would have just hung them to dry, but i don't really care right now.
no pictures... because i want to keep people in suspense (lol yeah right)
nothing special...

First update of 2008 (teasers)

2008-01-12T22:51:00.000-08:00

Officially 1 Month!

2007-12-09T09:22:00.001-08:00

It's officially one month since i started. Pics later!

*Update*
Pictures taken 12/10/07

Note: details are better in person. you can see light fading in the creases and folds, but it's hard to catch it with my camera and lighting.

More pictures here

Seeing that there isn't really much wear after a month, i might post in 3 months or whenever i feel like it. Might even do monthly posts...
Stay tuned...

nothing really exciting...
starting to see some fades already on the back from all my sitting...
very minimal honey comb fades coming in already from all my sitting...

can't wear my jeans in the morning 10am-2pm, because my school requires me to wear dress pants. after school, when i get home, i put them back on. i also sleep in them, so they rarely get taken off unless i am at school, in the shower, washing my car, yard work, etc., because i don't want to be sleeping in filthy jeans.

also, posts will be kept minimal just to keep things "exciting," ha ha ha...

i still need to get these hemmed...

Update..

2007-11-10T19:46:00.000-08:00

hot soaked these last night and hot dried them over night.
they were still damp this morning, so i hot dried for another 15minutes.

#127 Reporting In

2007-11-09T16:11:00.001-08:00

received them today--#127!

pre-soak fit:

hot soak for about 5 hours:

After:

post-soak fit:

incredible shrinkage. i'm pretty sure there's still some potential shrinking left in them, too.
inseam is really long--i might have to get them hemmed and re-chainstitched.
damn! should have gotten them hemmed again. oh well. that's the update for today.

almost forgot to post proof of date soaked:

would've used a newspaper, but i didn't have any, so i printed it online.
i don't know why it didn't print correctly.

took a phone pic just in case:

*bonus pic*
11:23PM
just thought i'd post another fit pic:

#90 not reporting for duty

2007-11-07T14:31:00.000-08:00

a week ago i received them to discover that i ordered the wrong size.
they fit me perfectly pre-soak, so i had to call blueingreen and ask to exchange 2 sizes up.
the new pair should be arriving today...
here are pics of the fit before i mailed them off:
