Start sleeping in them as much as possible
@Mental_SkëweR -
@Mental_SkëweR nice look
is that an IHJ-71? -
@Mental_SkëweR - great fit.
the leg opening of the 634 seems to work well with your engineer boots. ive always liked brown r/o - what brand & model are they?
-
@Oaktavia thx! It’s a modern Levi’s 1953 type 2. I love it bc of the history behind it (Elvis & many more) but IH and some other brands have even better versions IMO. Hope to get an IH one maybe next season. The type 2 overdue collab with self edge is very attractive!
@hoppy_IPA thank ya! These are the whites Cykel boot in brown rough out. They are partially machine built making them SLIGHTLY more affordable than the more popular Nomad by Whites, which is all handmade. A good alternative to Wesco! However I recently saw they have a 10-12 week wait.

Hah after I asked if yours was IH, I saw the red tab by your pocket. The history behind the type II is pretty neat, I agree. I've been wearing an indigo/indigo 18oz IH type II lately and love it. Sadly, it is extinct at least in our current timeline. I felt lucky to have found and bought it from a forum member, hardly worn. The one of Self Edge is pretty rad too for sure.

Thanks for the visual. Fades looking super unique! Have you washed yours yet? Or are those fades strictly from wear?
I wore them for about 6 weeks before soaking them with mild detergent in the tub [emoji369] About 2-months thereafter was the first machine-wash (delicate cycle with mild/wool detergent), and every 6-8 weeks thereafter. So, now about 4-5 washes after the initial soak. I am not now, nor have I ever been a “must wear jeans for at least six months before washing them” person. Nothing against the idea, it’s just not me, I don’t have that kind of patience [emoji2369]
If I were to get a new pair now, I would do the first soak more or less immediately, as there is some minimal shrinkage left, and then machine-wash every 6-8 weeks as needed thereafter.

The color of these is unreal
-
Looking very sick! Has that fray on the cuff gone all the way through the fabric?
If so, do you just leave it as is or repair? You could drop the cuff in half and do the double roll up to change the position. Looks rad either way though!The color of these is unreal
-
@Mental_SkëweR yeah the cuffs are full of holes. I'm just gonna keep wearing them as is an see what happens. These are soon to become my idgaf pair anyway since I have new jeans on the way.
Fyi, I think we're supposed to remove the images when we quote someone. I feel like a dick telling you that but I know that's what they want.

I’m sporting the Haraki half-roll at the moment.

crocking all over them laces Alex
-
I gave these an extended hot wash yesterday because they were very filthy.
-
Perfect description….it really is
-
-
Looks great Mike. I’m surprised your patch looks so good after a hot wash :o

I think it's the Wesco bee oil. Unfortunately I ran out and switched to my 30 year old Red Wing oil and it immediately turned way darker.
