wild style - I already said it at SuFu, but those JB are amazing. Give another update in a few months - they will be epic.

Inspired by Whodini's pictures, here are my bootcut RRLs. I've had them since February 2006 and have hand washed them four or five times. Though I haven't worn them even close to everyday (and they're not Superfuture-fit slim on me), I've gone hiking, camping, skateboarding, et cetera, in them, and, as you can see, the fading has been pretty minimal. That said, I really like how they look at the moment. All pictures were taken with flash (they look nicer-- more greycast-- in sunlight); the color is probably the most accurate in the second and third pictures. Front:

Thanks. I love the greenish tint that the denim develops. Your pictures capture it a lot better than mine. The knife is a Spyderco Native CPM-440V. Nothing particularly special, but it was a gift from my dad and gets a lot of use, so I like it.

Amen. I've never seen any other kind of denim fade to this color. Oddly enough, my dad got me on Spyderco as a kid and used mine for many years. Lately I've been suckered into assisted-opening knives, switching between a SOG Flash Tanto and a Gerber Vallotton. I always think it's funny when I find someone else who carries a knife like wearing a watch. Not too many people these days do.

Yeah those are pretty ridiculous. Look like APC, but pic quality isn't all that great?

EDIT: I stand corrected.
