These are my Studio D'Artisan SP 013s, the 30th Anniversary Limitied Edition. Well over 1 years wear on these beauties. They're still developing, however some weak spots have appeared in the crotch area, and on the inseam stitches at the hem. This is normal, and usually happens way earlier with other pairs, and I'm surprised the denim has lasted so long without anything tearing.

Finally I've come around to shooting some pictures of my SDAs; this during the Easter holdidays.

Anyway; enough chit-chat, on the the pics:

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:

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 SP 013 @ 4.5 months hard wear

These are my SDA SP 013 which were posted earlier. Now with 3 months additional wear, and 2 more hot soaks some change can be seen. The leather patch was tanned for multiple hours on a sunbed in Majorca, using normal sunblock oil; this has given it a tanned red-brownish tint, though it was earlier a natural coloured leather patch. Pictures were shot in natural, sunny light, thus the fades have not become too apparent. Shots in different lighting will be done at a later point, to emphasize on the fades.
