Studio D'Artisan SP 013: Evening Outdoors shoot + Mascot shot

An update on the progress of my SDAs, now pushing on 5 months intensive wear. This time shot in the evening sun. However, before that here is a picture of my SDA Mascot, who keeps my SDAs company when they're hanging, Mr. Billy Jeans:

Now, on to the actual shots of my SDAs (notice that a coin-fade is appearing in the coinpocket, along with zippo-fade):

The model on the two lower photographs is my lovely assistant and girlfriend, Annette. Though usually behind the camera, I deemed that there was need for a change.

Studio D'Artisan 30th Edition Photographs: A day out in the sun

My SDAs have seen near 3 months regular wear now, and 2 hot soaks; as may be seen the leather patch which started out very light seems slightly more tanned, which may be due to the contraction that happens when the leather is exposed to hot water.

Under you may find some photographs recently shot by Annette (my girlfriend). They are shot in natural, sunny light, and captures the special deep shades of the natural indigo very well. I had to mend the top button hole, and this is why you see the wider stitching on the close-ups. All in all, this pair of jeans shows promise for the future.
