Hi Y’all,

Sorry for the delay in posting stuff lately but I went all out and had me a two day vacation, heh. I like to live dangerous you see…

Well now we are back with another edition of Vintage 0901. I mentioned earlier that I would give my jeans their well earned soaking only in July. However I thought that I would speed up the process a bit and went ahead and soaked the jeans already last week. I know, I know it’s shocking but I guess I just can’t wear jeans for 6 months without soaking them haha. So it was just a matter of time.

Still I want to see what the jeans are all about and really wear them whenever, wherever, so on Thursday before soaking the jeans I took them for a spin in the friendly schoolyard basketball court. I am pretty sure you’re not supposed to be playing basketball in your jeans but hey all went well, heh.

After the game we headed to a peaceful lakeside surrounding for some time off. Not too shabby.

The jeans have really got their fair share of wear and it’s starting show. However below some pictures of the jeans before soaking.

Well, off to the soaking. I could have just thrown the jeans into the water and soaked them as such, but would it now be cooler to wear the jeans into the water!

Although I did probably dye the already “blue lake” with the indigo of my 0901s my legs did not turn blue. I did not really leave the jeans into water for an extensively long time, well hell the water was still rather cold.

After rinsing the possible sand from the jeans I decided to hang dry them in a natural way (see below).

The aftermath of the soaking is that the jeans have lost a bit of length and a bit of width, but they fit even better now. Shrink to fit and everything. They will probably shrink a bit more after the next soaking but not much I think.

After drying the jeans for the night (they literally took the whole night and the morning as well to dry), I snapped few photos of the jeans in their post-soaking form.

As mentioned the jeans did not shrink all too much, of course the expected inch here and there due to the raw form but not too bad. The fades are somewhat highlighted now, but that’s all good. The saga continues and I continue walking with my jeans on, this time with the dog, heh.

It’s rainy day today but hey rain only freshens the air and who don’t like fresh. Prosperous week to y’all and be hearing from ya. I’m out…
