Vintage 0901 – Week XX
by Taavi Kuisma on Aug.28, 2009, under Headlines
Hi Y’all,
Back with an update on the 0901 project. Basically I could be calling this edition the XVIII-XX, but for clarity and basically just for the sound of it, I’m calling it week XX, for that it is. Twenty weeks in the most wear I have every put to any of my jeans to this date. What can I say, I do love my jeans.
Last time I promised some fit pics, so here we go. After 5 months of wear, tear and several washes, the jeans still fit great.

The seagulls were acting real weird, I felt like I was part of Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds. Lucky I didn’t have any food with me. The seagulls are really aggressive during the summer, they’re kind of like the monkeys in South-East Asia. You know if you got any food, they might try to free you from that food.
The last fit pic better shows the vertical fading of the jeans. As I might have mentioned before, usually the fades are best visible in light environment like a bright day, heh.
And as usual, some closeups of the jeans. When you wear the jeans everyday you don’t really realize just how much they have changed in the past months but when you have a look at the pics, well you get the drift.
The fading is really visible in the front of the jeans. Nothing beats a naturally faded pair of jeans.
The back of the jeans shows signs of wear on the back pockets, hidden rivets, belt loop and of course the seat.
The back of the legs show nice lines which have formed there in time.
And the roping effect in the cuffs.
After last wash I realised that the jeans did not have all that much change in comparison to some time back and now as the denim has somewhat taken its shape, the major change from now on will be further fading of the deep indigo color. The faded parts of the jeans give some indication of where we’re heading, heh.
But I think that’s good for now. Let’s see if there are any major changes with the jeans in the next weeks following this. Naturally there are changes every day, but the question is whether you notice the changes or not.
Anyway, the weekend is almost here. Take care of yourself and be easy, I know I will. Peace.
