Just came out of the first soak after 150 wears. Fades starting to develop and they cleaned up nicely.

Photos 1-3: Approximately 90 wears, 0 washes

Photos 4-20: Unboxing and details

First of all, I love everything about these jeans. The fit, the fabric, the details, the finishing. The packaging and included dust bag and replacement rivets is a great touch. Very stiff and starchy out of the box, but after wear, they are starting to fit nicely.

The sashiko stitching and extra heavy weight denim is what led me to pick this pair out of the options from Simple & Raw (Thailand). The pocket bags and interior lining are also nice, and the contrast stitching is pretty excellent. The super thick veg tan leather patch is a really nice touch. There are fun details to discover throughout.

Fades are just starting to develop after about three months worth of wear.

Hey guys

Some fades progress pics of a wallet of mine that I posted a few days ago.

~200 wears over the past 2 years and a handful of machine wash & dries. going for a vintage fade.

I am inept, so check out the comments for my comments.

I have this wear in my pocket on the rear of my jeans (iPhone pocket) and in the front pocket (wear from my hands in/out) as you can see in the photos. I’m curious for those of you who have worn jeans to the bone how much longer these will last before they need Repair. Are we talking another year or just a few more weeks?

These are fairly new with minimal wear. Got these on the reissue earlier this year. Epic Texture. Hairy and neppy, and after a first soak (these come unsanforized, so I started with a hot soak) they Develop an awesome rough texture, while remaining pretty comfortable.

I had a bit of chaffing at my knees in the first few wears but that has subsided and these are pretty comfortable now.

Pictured in the Weird Guy. Tag Size 36 (shrunk to just slightly bigger than a tag size 34 after the hot soak).

T-shirt is the Wonder Looper Double Heavyweight in Sumi Ink. This tee is 💯, fits so well, (I’m a size L, 6’1, 200lb) and has a flattering drape that masks my dad bod.

These are my work jeans. Called denim super trousers from a company called cactus outdoors. Made in New Zealand. They have gussets in the knees which are great, and the design is a bit of a unique cut if you look at the back. Something a bit different. Not selvedge. A blend of cotton and Dyneema. Sent them in once to have the crotch repaired.

Cheers

I got these on April 1st. I'm three months in, and have worn them pretty much everyday with the exception of some stay at home days and the two days I just didn't want to wear them.

One soapy soak, I laid them out in the sun once a month I have some roping going on at the hem. Some nice creases that are starting to fade on the thigh and the embroidery are starting to show on the back pockets. There's some really nice details going with these jeans with embroidery on the hips in the back pocket with their sewing machine logo with gold accents. And the turquoise rivet is a nice touch.

The denim fabric is an 18oz 100% Cotton Okayama, Japan. Sewn in Thailand. And came with spare buttons in case I even loose one later on.

Verdict I love how these came out, I'd recommend this brand. Usually has their jeans on sale. I'll probably pick up another pair on the heavier side.

Something a little different for a change.

I’ve been in this subreddit for sometime y’all have some of the sickest fades, with that being said I have these 15.7 extra dark Momotaros I’ve worn weeks straight at times hoping for some fades I’ve also had them for 3 years.

Any wash recommendations or things I can do to get some fades In these ?

Purchased this shirt back in September of ‘24. Wore it casually for a while. Then started wearing it to work earlier this year to give it a proper thrashing for the fades.

Love the arms mostly but overall great fading if you ask me, what do you think?
