Weekend…

But that does not mean I’m having a break. Theme of the weekend, get as much done in two days as you possibly can and if there’s time, charge some batteries for next week.

In my last post I promised to publish an update on the G003-MB project. Well I’m a man of my word and this week we’ve got a set of detailed pics that show where are we at with the jeans. The Spring season has granted us a day of sunshine and what better way to take pictures than with natural sunlight. No flash required and every little detail on the denim surface will show itself. Kind of like the moonlight showed the true character of the pirates in “Pirates of the Caribbean”. But no zombie pirates here. Just worn blue jeans. Japan Blue that is.

Not even sure where did all of those fine lines come from but more and more surface every week.

The jeans’ front is looking pretty worn. Pretty awesome. I’m happy with the progress this far.

The left pocket is getting some wear too. It took ages before this pocket faded with my previous jeans and this time both of the pockets are pretty much at same stage.

The fading on the back of the jeans is naturally limited to the back of the knees as well as the seat. But just like with the front, more and more fine lies appear each and every week. Probably on daily basis, I just don’t pay attention on these changes every day.

The first sign of twill breaking. Nothing major just what you expect to happen with all the stress these pants go through. I’m actually surprised there are no more twill coming loose.

The left back pocket has gotten most of the impact…

…although the right one is not far behind and is suddenly starting to show signs of wear as well.

The cuffs have gotten the worst of it. I mean all that snow, grime and sand. I’m honestly surprised there’s not much more damage done to the chainstitching or the cuffs altogether. Looking good.

Next up, just a little image taken from the right thigh of the jeans. Why I’m showing the picture is that it perfectly shows the fading from the original indigo to the most faded part of the jeans. Naturally worn jeans. Three months in and I can’t wait to see how these babies look like in 6 months’ time.

Finally the lines on the knees are getting stronger same as every other line developed this far. I also like the picture because it has that blue jeans look to it. I mean natural indigo color gone lighter.

The snow is melting at record pace and soon we can see spots of ground already. Once the snow’s gone and the ground a bit dryer, it is time to introduce the jeans to grass, sand and when the time is right the Finnish lakes.

I’m gonna leave you with another sneak peek of what’s to come maybe tomorrow or latest on Monday. The picture needs no further introductions, the grand blue next to the original melange denim. Enjoy your weekend folks, I know we will. Peace.
