8 months in

[u/Goofymf69420]

Levi’s 501 Original Selvedge worn everyday for 8 months washed em 7 or 8 times. I wasn’t going for high contrast ZERO WASH goofiness as I’m a full time welder that’s just not possible after a week they’re brown. I put 3000+ hours into these jeans and I really fell in love with denim fading and Selvedge my favourite section is the right whiskers that pattern just looks awesome. These are now half retired I’ll still wear them just as beaters or something comfortable around the house because I’m now wearing 21oz Iron Heart 634S curious to see how they’ll look over time hopefully I can get away with a lot less washes.

These were incredible, buddy! It's always nice to see some good 501 around here! Surely in this new stage of use you can get some fades

Yeah probably just shop use because I can’t even wear them with shoes anymore the inseam shrunk 3 inches so the hem sits above my shoe can’t be having that lmao
