I don't know what to say about comments above. I'm pretty much speechless.
cuz of the retirement or cuz of what?

To help illustrate Max's point;

They've really 'bloomed' since August!
Usually takes me about 2-3 years to get a pair of jeans looking anything close to broken in. Once they break heavily they develop a special place in my heart (and wardrobe), and get taken out on special occasions :).
-
yeah, I really know what Flo (MaxP) was talking about, thanks for explaining again though…I guess that "effect" just comes from washing them frequently and a lot of wear, hard wear!
after heavy abuse and a lot of washes, it looks like the indigo is getting pretty rare in some places. and tbh. I haven't seen my jeans as "clean" as they looked after that last wash (something IJ might be happy about)
-
Thanks Snowy, perfectly illustrated. But keep in mind that it's a personal preference that might differ from yours (IJ?).

Doh, no need to retire if/when the fabric is solid.
Tears, rips in front tigh area/knees etc -> they are retired from daily wear, and moved to weekend-wear department.On a sidenote, I work in a office, we have no dresscode, thank god. I could wear patched/repaired jeans at work, but don't want to.
-
you´re right mate! my way to do things is, that as soon as i have a pair of well worn/faded jeans, i´ll switch to a new pair (which gets most of the future wear) and put the "old" pair in the closet. just going to wear it from time to time, not as often as i did in the past!…still gonna wear it though!
-
No way would I retire those Finn.
Wear and declare!
-
They haven't quite started to bloom like Finn's yet, but that should change now that I'm rolling around in gymnastics chalk while taking photos. I finally managed to put a small hole in mine.
On the job…

No, that is why they are in the extinct section of the website:

Sorry…

Love me some gymnasts. My last girlfriend was a gymnast and her body was next level. They don't look that muscular a year or two after they retire.
It' not easy to maintain that level of conditioning once you don't have to do it anymore. The scars are forever, though…

folks , I've seen many pairs of denim on here , and wondered what lengths you go to , to get such good fading ?
Are you wearing your jeans every single day ?
Do you iron your denim ?
How often are they soaked / washed - or just freshened up ..I know there's comments on threads , I just am interested in each persons way of getting their jeans to look so good.
I have a year old pair of raw nudies but look nothing like on here , is it the weight of the denim that gives a better look ?
or simply the work you put into it ?
