^diesel rabox 80m, worn very frequently for about three years. these only had some "raspy" scratches when new and were treated with some kind of resin. notice the crotch repair.
and again my nikkis at 5+ months no wash.

^these are 2 pairs of $40 h&m "& denim" sliq (slim low rise 1% stretch). the first pair were rinsed, then worn and starched for about 6 months and then machine washed. the second pair shows just how dark these were at first. (i had to scratch the denim at the hem just to assure myself they were indeed blue and not black.)

even after the initial soaking these turned my hands blue for weeks and the hardware is junk but the denim is very streaky (similar to the svenska) and they have some cool details (like purple detail stitching and pocket bags, simple back pocket embroidery, chainstitching, unique coin pocket.) i initially bought these to experiment with but i liked them so much i went back and got the last pair they had, one size down (the first pair stretched and ive also lost some weight).

i'd say the first pair fits somewhere between a slim jim and a new standard (or california minus the anti fit) with a low front rise (9.5 inches) and a 7.5 inch hem. im actually going to have a tailor taper the new pair even more to get a budget nudie long john

back:

close up honeycombs:

are they ruined? did i wash too early? will the denim police come get me for this heresey?

CM----Your post says that you washed after 3 WEEKS, surely you meant 3 MONTHS. FYI.

 

[Ahaz]

I think he does mean 3 weeks. He mentions 'almost a month'.

Maybe 136 pounds just isn't enough to get a good wallet fade going on.

 

[cheapmutha]

ddml... i bought these on april 21...

ahaz... im only 150, but i do land on ****** when i skate, so that may be why its faded so much.

 

[raley]

Ya I don't understand the whole honeycombs thing. Mine are distinct but they aren't fading at all. Actually, my APCs aren't really faded anywhere except on the butt. Kind of annoying considering I've had them for about a year (probably wear 2x a week).

 

[cheapmutha]

well... i wear mine 7 days a week and probably 18 hours a day. throw in skateboarding and you have fast fading.

 

[Ahaz]

raley, I have the exact same problem - really distinct creases behind the knee, but no fading in that area. The only places I really get nice consistent fading is the knees. And how bout an anticipatory '**** you' to the people who go with the obvious joke

 

[denimdestroyedmylife]

You get knee fade because you are deeply religious?

 

[cheapmutha]

ahaz.. youre safe. this isnt superfuture.

 

[Ahaz]

That really made me chuckle, thanks. If I were being honest and not funny, I'd say it was from washing my car, playing with my cat and cleaning up the bathroom/apartment.

I'm safe to live an alternative lifestyle, or I'm safe from bad jokes?
