Levi's Shrink-To-Fit Day 4

Well, honeycombs and whiskers have began to set it nicely. It has quite a bit of stack considering I haven't shrunk them yet. The right pocket is starting to stretch from the wallet. No visible fades yet. I got some indigo marks on my white shoes though =(







I apologize for the bad lighting.

Levi's Shrink-To-Fit Day 1

Okay, so I've always wondered how well cheap 40 dollar shrink-to-fits fade compared to more expensive raw denim. I mean, is it worth all the extra money to pay for 200 dollar Nudies? Thus, I'm starting this denim diary to record the progress of my cheap ass shrink to fits. I'm planning to wear them for around 6 months with no wash/soak and see what they would look like.

I purchased these jeans at Levi's Strauss store in Seattle. It's made in Guatemala and is 31x34. I usually wear 30x32, so this should fit me well even after the wash.

So, this is what they look like on day 1. There are quite a bit of cotton pilings.
