Studio D'Artisan SP 013 @ 8.5 months wear

About 3 months have passed since my last post on my SP 013s. It's been a 3 months of various activities, and the wear during this period can be seen in the evolution of my jeans. A lot has happened, and the fades, combs and whiskers are much more visible than earlier shoots. Enjoy the latest shoot of these beauties:

Warehouse & Co 1001XX Jeans

A new addition to the collection is the WH&CO 1001XX jeans. which I started wearing recently. These are spun 7x7, rather than the normal 7x6, which gives the denim an overall lighter shade. I believe this is because of the extra ecru weft yarn in the weaving, meaning there's an extra undyed and white thread being used; thus 7x7, and not the regular 7x6. The weight of the denim pre-wash is 13.5oz, making it slightly lighter and more suitable for a warmer climate. The cotton is 100 % sourced from Memphis USA, and the jean is 100 % cotton made; and it's all pure indigo, no underdyes used.

As if that's not enough, this pair of jeans has been through a specially developed oxidization process, which is intended to give the fabric the feel of an authentic vintage deadstock pair of jeans. Now for a look at this beauty:

Levi's Vintage 1873 Limited Edition "First Blue Jean"

This is my LVC 1873 Natural Indigo Limited Edition pair of jeans. Levi's own remake of what is thought to be how the 1873 first copper riveted overalls used to be like in its debut year; this pair known as the "First Blue Jean". Lightweight 9oz denim (pre-wash) with a natural indigo dye, which contributes to an overall light indigo shade.
