Flat Head 1001 - Got this from 3rd Icon last August. After about 8 months of almost everyday wear & one hot soak, fading is still nothing as epic as others on this thread.

Still wondering if I should hem them or just let it stack?

8 months?

I am not trying to hate, but those look hardly worn.

I know...meanwhile my bud's APC NS after 6 months of wear is looking pretty awesome. Puts me to shame.

I suppose if those are your everyday, really its more a testament to how well the denim is dyed than any thing bad.

As I said, I am not trying to hate... thats pretty cool the jeans are still that dark after 8 months of semi-regular wear.

Yea.... SF loves fading, but there is value in jeans that don't fade/get destroyed in a year as well I don't know what that value is but I know it's there.

I thought FlatHead was supposed to get "epic" contrasting fades.

Adubz · May 7, 2010

^That's what I thought as well. I guess that just further proves my lack of ability of breaking in a pair of jeans that's supposedly easy to break in.

Cool The Kid · May 7, 2010

I think there's an ideal fit for jeans to fade nicely... not too big not too small

Those look way too baggy to fade nicely

hey, great effort there, Adubz! the fadez won't be apparent until you wash

__ you'd be surprised how much wear you got on them once you do.

here's somethin' to keep you motivated: Xpost [forgot whose pair these belong to]
