s5000ai-10sp @2.5 yrs:
.... equivalent to 14mos effective wear. countless soaks__ still no wash. yeah, yeah, evo on these flows slower than molasses in winter time. but, LUV 'em exactly because of its uniqueness__ not about the fades on these pair. they don't contrast due to the dyed weft. what the denim lack in high contrast fades, it more than make for, in terms of
ataris__ tons of vertical falling [from hefty slubs] on high traffic/friction areas.

'cept for the apparent ataris, the denim amazingly just refuses to yield its
ai. even after months of "effective" [medium to light] wear & countless soaks, the denim regains its form & crispness after each soak, as well. the weave, it seems, are drawn even tighter [from the shrunken yarns]. hence, the seersucker-like puckering, like bumps on a "Mogul" ski run.
'wish i could take a mor accurate photo of the denim.
