                Thanks guys.

                I wear and take care of the jeans but I give Mega some credit too, I was on the fence about how often to soak and was going to go with every 4-6 weeks but he was the one that helped me realize that denim needs to see water a lot more often.  Mega's MBBs have a great color to them because they see water fairly often.

                I only did one soak in the last month due to being busy and lazy but even that one soak I could see another color shift.

                        Love how google translate translates one of the comments "Extremely inspiring, I am there with a smile full bloom!".

                        I am loving these with smile full bloom too! 🙂

                            great pair fanya, i think they look better every month you post them.

                            you've had to make no repairs on the jeans so far?

                                (if anyone is itching for specific pictures of somewhere on the jeans lemme know and I'll get around to it)

                                (and everyone should skydive at least once~)

                                I've only had two issues, and both are pretty minor in my opinion.

                                First one was a crotch repair, I noticed the stitching was pulling and undoing itself so I grabbed a needle and thread and put some reinforcements in, after looking at it again taking these pictures I should probably add a few more.  I probably added the stitching at the 5-6 month mark.

                                The other "issue" is a small hole developing because of my narrow stride, it's not uncommon for me to hear the swish of my pants when I walk, if make it so there is no "swish" it hurts my hips to walk that wide.  I'm trying to thing of how to "fix" the hole and I think I'm going to put a very small amount of super glue on the area to "harden" it up to hopefully prolong the hole that is coming.

                                Most of the actual "wear" is on the seams or where stuff is folded over, the back pockets are the best example.

                                      Thank you man. I bang on about subtle beauty in denim a lot over on SuFu, and I think folks over there know that I'm not a huge fan of some of the EXTREME fades that get most of the applause, but yours are heavily faded whilst still looking extremely natural and maintaining lots of subtlety.

                                      I kid you not when I say that (at this stage) I think yours are my favourite pair of faded jeans I have ever seen.
