Post pics of your denim - denim fades and evolution

Looking baggy, no?

Yeah, but I don't think these were really a slim cut to begin with. Just a straight leg. I'm sure it'll be slimmer once I give it a soak. I just got to keep an eye on the length and waist to make sure it doesn't shrink too much on me.

 

[buttonman]

you still haven't soaked it yet?
31.5 is pretty short in itself...

SSDS Svenka (tear drop). Purchased around Nov 07, worn a few times, and then entered solid wear in March after six months with the 5EPs. This stuff has bled and bled and bled. I routinely got caught bluehanded. Hot-washed in the bin with Bronner's. Think the goal from here out will be monthly washing as I want to get them as light as possible. Washing machine will be next.

I apologise for the shocking image quality, it is quite hard to see the fades on some/all of the shots.
Topman straight leg Raws at 6 weeks, one wash.

Good whisker and hem fading, but that's about it at the moment, not much if any around the back of the knees.

i don't really follow what people on sufu say about lot sizing. i went down 2 on the s5000bk's. they stretch like crazy. went down one on the s500xx

my s5000bk's with a poor attempt at a grey card

without grey card

poly, i gotta admit, you get the best fades/whiskers at the hip area. how you do that? do you literally do squats in them every time you wear them to get those?

ha no. honestly, it's just wear. these are a bit different as when I was in europe, I only wore these and was walking in 100 degree heat for miles on end through cities. But the PRPS's, that's just wear. Notice how i might get ridiculous lap fades, but my honeycombs suck campared to some kids

 

[sho'nuff]

i actually dont really care for the honeycombs behind knees in general. i think those are a bit overrated in look.

the lap and the fades around the hem from the stacking , and the fade on front thigh and folds/crease towards the knee are the aesthetics i am interested in.
