jimmy: will happen today.

So I washed my new darktones to get all shrinking out of the way… They're somewhat tighter and slimmer throughout now (lovely shirt innit):

[jimmy]

Thanks I am just really keen to see the color as from all your pics it's a really different blue.

Quick pics whilst taking a pause from tanning:

[jimmy]

[jimmy]

@Giles:

Too much math involved - back to my drink.

I was really too lazy to put on my shirt again to take the pic - just wanted a 'before' shot, not that there will be much/ any fading… Just wanted to clean them a bit...

[Seul]

I wanted to take some pics out in the sun, comparing my new, unworn pair and this'un, but it's been pouring with rain for hours so… Crappy pics for now, better pics as an edit hopefully soon... But checking these weather previews... Oh maron!..

My ALD Frontiers (non-selvage) bought in December 2006. Worn on and off, countless soaks and washes. Borrowed a friend's shitty Kodak Easyshare C813 (??). What a piece of crap, man. XD A little contrast and sharpening in Lightroom, natural light. In reality they a are quite a bit brighter.

Sadly they are beyond repair, the denim is all brittle and tears up fucking everywhere… Maybe I'm gonna salvage the leather patch and use it as a coaster or something. Or sew it on my current (and quite shitty) Levis STF to give em a little bit of class. 

[Seul]

I've been meaning to ask you to post pics of your ALDs and here they are…

**HOLY

FUCKING

COW

LAD**

That's EPIC!..  ??? I feel like DONATING my darktone Prescotts I keep in stock to you just to see what you do to them (and because having to wear Levi's STF must be quite horrible the experience hehe)…

[Guest]

Thx, man! Those darktones look really nice. Frankly, if ALD hadn't gone out of business I would have bought a pair.

Donation, haha…. I couldn't accept that, too generous. But even if I could. I'm a 36 in ALDs, no way yours would fit. 

Levis STF are alright for the price tho... I mean, for some time I thought, any raw cheap denim would do, if I wear it enough. But I went through 2 pairs of H&M in like 4 month. And those motherfuckers stretch like crazy, too. The Levis don't feel as good as the ALDs and lose indigo much quicker, but at least they've lasted for a while now.

[jimmy]

UNBELIEVABLE…....

[arcanum]

thanks beats !!! unfortunately these will have to wait for couple of months because at the moment the jeans are still in my cousin's possesion

and the best part

Amazing! I have non-selvage frontiers too, bought from 14oz Berlin around 2007. Never washed, but nowhere near looking like that!
