posted these on the other sf as well, but hey it's down, and i'm bored:

s5000vx size 30 on a 6'1, 165-ish frame. wish i had better lighting but it was gettin dark. some of these pictures have flash, some don't. you can probably tell...

 

[JeffVyain]

they're in the wash for the third time right now. i'm gonna throw them in the dryer to shrink them up a little bit. just jeans, right?

^^^^

How much wear are we talking?

 

[JeffVyain]

i've had them july...soooo bout 4 1/2 months... i don't wear them excessively hard, but i do wear them damn near every day. they're just taking forever to bust. i can't get combs in them for the life of me.

 

[whodini]

They're looking nice but for 4 1/2 months, that's some stubborn indigo.

Beautiful Samurai. I saw these on the other sf and they jumped up on my list. The fade and the cut look great.

I've been wearing my PBJ since about August (got minimal wear May-August) and see pretty much nothing from them. I think these Japanese brands hold their indigo incredibly well. Takes a long time to get results, but they still look good after over a year (unlike some of the popular European brands that I will refrain from naming for fear of getting flamed).

 

[JeffVyain]

yea they certainly look a hell of a lot better than my APCs. the apc's have only been washed once and are still quite a bit lighter, and certainly not near as beautiful of a coloring.
i would say that SOME japanese denims are very stubborn faders. this would be one of them. but their S0500xx counterparts seem to be fading quite quickly, as do the SD103 and many others.
my sams are dry now. they shrunk up quite a bit but hardly changed at all as far as the fade goes, so i won't bother with pictures. still no honeycombing...maybe there's something wrong with my legs

 

[PG2G]

Yeah, those 505XX are fading quick as hell It'll be interesting to see how they look in the long run. Whether they lose a lot of color overall (like APC) or keep dark in the non abrasive areas and have super contrast

Play on player; these got lost in between all the big-ticket pairs posted recently (all of which are dope, btw), but they look way sweet. Add in the bang-for-buck factor, and I say you're the big winner.

very 3D whiskering, so complex and deep, like looking into a tiger's eye.

^^had to show how the fly is cut out of the whole peice of denim insted of stitched on.... i love it...

i need macro on my cam to really show all the little details... its above sugarcane level as far as detailing goes, and construction is better

How do these feel after 60 wears? I have a pair that are killing me! They are tight and stiff and dont stretch at all. Are they any better now?
