You take them off at work? Or you don't wear them to work?

i don't wear them @ work because i have to wear uniform, plus i don't think chicken, oil, grease, and sauce will give nice fading on my jeans.

Corpus 'Fine'. About a year, maybe 3-4 washes. Shown next to a new pair of Crates (now Whodini's). The Corpus, when new, were about the same color as the Crates.

Finally washed my Johnbull SC002's after probably 4 months of wear.

wildstyle, those jeans are looking quite nice. I am just curious how you have such pronounced honeycomb fade after only 4 months. Did you wet sand?

Thanks guys! I bought them last September and wore them for about 4 months straight every single day... bike riding, skateboarding, etc. I stopped wearing them to start working on other jeans. I suppose there could be close to another month of cumalitive wear in there since I will throw them on every once in a while. So let's say 5 months, but definitely no longer than that, although I wish I had more will power and stuck with them longer. :\\

Never sanded them although they were starched once or twice in the beginning to get things going. Would advise against this though as the honeycombs were starting to tear (not a good look imo).
