Alright, I apologize for the lack of full jean shots. The light in my apartment was ******.

These are APC NS's, 5 months and 3 washes (1st at a little over three.... I definitly wish I had waited longer, mainly for the honeycombs to actually work.)

I must say the second two washes barely did anything at all. No real changes.

I'm pleased with these. They have a very nice somewhat subtle fade in real life. Next pair of raw I do I will wait at least 5 months though.

The second pic and the final one are closest to the real color.

Some weird z shape fade on my non-wallet back pocket.

Not much has really been documented on these so here it goes. These are the Earnest Sewn Kyrre. I bought them totally dry. The first few pictures are crappy, but were taken after about one month. The picture of the back belt loop gives you the best idea of what color they were:

I didn't wash them for about a year and four months wearing them on average 3-4 times a week. I washed them, then wore them to do some gardening in the rain for a few days. They were covered in mud and I worked outside in them for about a week without washing them. They were disgusting. Here are the post wash pictures. Note the prominent cell phone outline on the right leg:
