Hi Y’all,

Hope your weekend has been a relaxing one. Helsinki was soaked in sunshine and we made the best of it by having a little photoshoot in celebration of the Spring season. More of that later but this edition is about my Copper Label project.

I dug up my previous project for the purpose of the photoshoot yesterday and I can tell the jeans felt very nice, very nice indeed. I have been wearing the copper label for “so long” I totally forgot how great the Vintage Label jeans felt like. Even after nearly year of wear and tear. Not that I have anything against my current project, the jeans are lighter, softer and very different from Vintage Label but hey the current project is about Copper Label. I’m getting really anxious the closer we get to summer. One season behind us, the second one is on its way and two more to go following this splendid Spring.

Below a picture of the Vintage Label 0901 jeans taken in natural light. For those not familiar with my previous project, these jeans were worn every day for nearly a year and soaked after 4 months of wear following which they were washed once a month. I hid the jeans away since the Copenhagen Fashion Week and now that I dug them out, I really like what I see. I think few more months of wear and the jeans would have been (if possible) even better.

The funny thing is, after 14 weeks of wear and one wash after 3 months of wear the jeans have pretty much same look and color as the previous project after nearly a year of wear. Of course the above project had a lot more wear in it, but after six more months I do think this project could end up with even better results.

The backside of the Vintage Label project does show some signs of wear, but no major tear. That’s fine with me, goes to show the jeans can take plenty of wear without major damage.

I’m sure that at the end of the year, these jeans show as much wear on the back side as on the front. There are lines all over the seat and back of the legs, without forgetting the snowlines on the cuff regions. One thing that I am really curious to see is if the signature stitiching on the right back pocket will withstand the wear or will it tear?

I will leave you with a sneak picture of the NDH SS 2010 look. With that, take care of you and yours and we’ll be back with more updates and writing shortly. Cheers!
