I saw your ‘something unique to share’ post and thought I would pass along some pictures of my latest project. I’m not sure if this is the type of thing you are looking for, but I actually designed and made my own pair of selvedge (selvage…?) denim jeans. I should point out that I knew [...]

Do you have something unique to share?
So if you think you have something unique to share and take great photos? Send me: Zip file of photos background on the jeans time worn, washes, care, repairs, etc… Name, City, whatever… And if I like it… I’ll post it…if not…sorry its my site! Haha… so impress me… I’m bored and want some new [...]
Jean Shop | 4 Months In
Almost 4 month mark. color holding firm. whiskering etc has held as of 3 months. overall slightly dusty look, probably more to do with the day’s gardening though… Have not washed yet, maybe go for the Arizona miner look and never wash them… that bass/jeanshop/horween/hanes/bonne maman/buffalo trace look.
Rising Sun | 3 Months In
Three months of daily wear, and these jeans are starting to age beautifully. Not a lot of whiskering or fading to speak of — I’m just starting to see the first signs of my wear pattern behind the knee and in the wallet pocket. I haven’t yet washed the jeans, and have no intention of [...]
Kicking Mule Workshop | 3 Months In
I’ve worn them basically everyday, with maybe a total of 10 days over the last 90 spent in other pants. They’re showing only a minor amount of wear on the front pockets, that’s it. I’ve never worn anything so resistant to fading. Having worn them at the tannery the majority of the time, I gave [...]
Nom De Guerre | 2 Months In
Wear Metrics Days Owned: 43 Wear Count: 20 Total Time Worn: 249.17 hours Average Time per Wear: 12.46 hours # of Washes: 0 The first thing I noticed when I began wearing these Nom De Guerre indigo selvedge jeans was definitely the rise. I have typically worn low rise denim in the past, and [...]
Studio D’artisan | 3 Months In
So over the last three months I’ve worn nothing but my 23oz D’artisans, with an initial soak on day one but nothing since then. They are really comfortable now, especially compared to how awkward and uncomfortable they were at the outset. I can’t tell if they’ve gotten more comfortable with wear or if I’ve just [...]
Imogene + Willie | 3 Months In
Just the facts: No washing, no soaking, no cleaning of any sort….yet Worn 4-7 times a week depending on the week Always cuffed (to the point that there is an inch of debris in the cuff) Starting to see significant whiskering starting behind the knees Wear developing across waistline, knees, crotch and fly Everything I [...]
Ooe Yofukuten | Crotch Repair
The photos here show my Ooe Yofukuten #2702s after wearing them every day for three months, washed once in cold water and hung to dry, and finally with the crotch hole repaired. I should mention that this crotch hole occurred as a rip, not from the jeans wearing through. It was initially a really small [...]
3sixteen SL-100x| 3 Months In
The 3Sixteens I’ve been wearing are slowly but surely beginning to age nicely. Nothing dramatic thus far, some wallet wear. My sod buster has yet to make an impression. But all in all, a great fitting pair of jeans. Andrew had urged me to get myself into a 29, promising me they would stretch a [...]
