      This is a pretty big image, but I decided to  do a quick year in review picture, it's amazing how far these jeans have come.

            Those are so nice fanya. I wish you all the best in the competition. Your pair is one of my favorites.
            So nice seeing the evo step by step.

            One thing is for sure. My 666S are not anywhere near yours. 5months mark.

                Mine have gotten precisely zero wears for a full month now– I sent them to Denim Therapy in NY to have a small hole in the crotch repaired, and to restitch the crotch seam. They should be back any day now, but damn. At least I've been able to spend some quality time with my IHXB-01's.

                  Licorice Noose your MBB jeans are gallery for sure.
                  If not gallery then off to Ruedi and the Jeans Musuem.

                  As a judge I have to say I just admire all of you guys working so hard on your heavy weight raw denim projects! And the half way results are impressing already! Just to mention the hardcore raw denim love given by Licorice Noose or Fanya and all you other guys is unbelievable!! And of course like twin said such a jeans with that strong natural denim evo would always be a honour to be displayed at the Jeansmuseum of heaviest fadings some day! Best if just kept untreated and never washed to show the full natural power of denim evolution to the visitors at its best and keeping the raw denim spirit alive. The Jeansmuseum encourage all contestants to keep their raw denim projects alive for ever. I wish you all the best and have fun on the second half part of this contest! And let's see how long Licorice Noose can still wear his pants and giving them  some more hardcore raw denim love

                  Really roughest vintage or raw denim rags deserves to survive for ever! So never throw away any raw denim rags - Use them as long as possible and when it comes to their end - there is a safe place where your favorite items can rest in peace for ever in the Jeansmseum ruedi.karrer@jeansmuseum.org

                      xpost from the pics only thread.  On a side note I just have to mention how much fun I've had over the past year.  The amount of times my wife has rolled her eyes in bewilderment is priceless.  Here's to 12 mo months of 25oz.  Man did the Crispin belts turn out great for the comp too.  I thought for sure I'd have a busted loop with choosing the 1.7" belt.

                      Cheers

                                        They look great and totally put Tommys to shame. He won't wear his as I made a balls up on the measurements.

                                          Between Tommy and Cam, there's some well dressed kids around here. Thankfully I have a couple years before Cody or Allie develop a longing for real denim. The fades on the little guy learning to walk could be interesting though.
