Great picures of great jeans on the last couple of pages!

I'm HC-IH-72 checking in with a few pictures of my Mega Busters - taken this afternoon before giving them their third or fourth wash. They're drying right now.

I'll work on getting my favorites up on the final submission thread.

Hey everyone. I came over here from sufu to see what peoples' final jeans look like - nice work, everyone - so I figured I'd post a couple shots of mine as well (Samurai 710). I beat them in pretty well, with 100+ ski days, a lot of travel, including a trip to Tanzania, where I wore my jeans to the summit of Kilimanjaro, and a lot of other mountaineering in Utah. There's not much indigo left, so I'll include some photos from earlier on, when they had more contrast. I washed somewhere around 16 or 17 times, always on delicate cycle. My wonderful fiancee did all of my repairs (I believe she made 29 different repairs between months 12 and 20), but we just gave up with around 4 months to go. Oh, and regarding my fiancee, I proposed on top of a 3000-ish meter mountain at night here in Utah back in December while wearing my tattered jeans. Somehow she said yes. Haha.

Final front / fit:

Final back:

Filthy jeans at a little shy of 19000 feet, the highest point on Kilimanjaro at which I could take off my snowpants from on top of my jeans without feeling like I was going to freeze to death. Taken on the way back down after summiting (peak behind me):

Hiking in Usa River, Tanzania:

Skiing about a month or two in:

Canyonlands, Utah:

Fit after 9 months of wear:

Front after 11 months:

Back after 11 months:

First set of repairs (sorry, only seemed to have a small version of the finished product):

Salt flats a couple months in:

Bonus pic… the best photo I ever took in them. Fiancee + sunrise from a few meters shy of the peak of the world's tallest freestanding mountain:

Beautiful work @mahlon321 , thank you for competing. Your jeans make me want to put mine on again 

[spitfiredealer]

Nice job @mahlon321
Are you entering them in the last man standing or you got a new pair for the DWC.?

[Megatron1505]

I think the LMS comp would be perfect for these.
