Mall Brand status.Originally Posted by zissou
Thought I'd put up a few pics of my Banana Republic jeans just for the hell of it. They are/were raw Japanese selvage, with about 10 solid months of wear and about 5 washings. They've been a real ***** to fade, so nothing very spectacular. I've worn them through 3 or 4 room demolition projects in my house, which consists of ripping out lathe and plaster, rewiring, trim removal and restoration, etc. I've tried to beat the hell out of them. They've had one crotch repair and could use some repair down by the hems. As of yesterday, they were basically grey from plaster dust, so I threw them in for a hot wash.
Wow. I'd say you turned a sow's ear into respectable denim. Nice going.

thanks. lucchese from somewhere in texasOriginally Posted by grundletaint
Yeah, they look pretty good. I've got some that look pretty similar, but they're Tony Lama. They were a gift, and they look great... I just can't find too many excuses to wear cowboy boots.

+1. I really like the color of these, never mind the cool fades. I forget where you posted them, but I also really like the edo-ai portions of those mister freedom jeans you have.

fit pics on samurai black knights, need to hem an inch or so, sized down 2.
these are fully shrunk. cold soaked, hot soaked, than drier action
so s5000bk's, black knights, and wings and horns black jeans for 6 months. will be working on black knights from here on out, along with some amazing indigo jeans. I sized down 2. I could BARELY button them all the way in the store, did a cold soak, and a hot soak and tumble dry last night, lost an inch in the inseam, waist is fine. basically my rule for samurai is slim fit = size down 2.
