@pmadison95 putting the work in wouldn’t want to wear them to bed though

@Jcaz6996 thanks man! These are the heaviest denim I’ve worn from any company, and the rigidity + buttoning was second to none when new and post soak. I’m thrilled to see how this year ends, and while still in the honeymoon phase, I’m already thinking about the year 2 comp. Also haven’t had denim set this hard since my extra crispy SEXI14 of years past. Gonna be a good year!

January update, worn between 20/25 days. SBG is my new fave denim and i really love how they fit...

[cityofdelusion]

[Fades for future]

[jiminstitches]

About 30 days wear on these, they get worn to work on my not so dirty days, knees are wearing quick where im crawling around in the back of my van trying to find tools!

Great progress on the SBGs @Fades-for-future

Here’s mine, 35/35 wear days this far.
I’m a bit unsure of how to properly expose, that black denim is really hard to capture and exposure makes a huge difference.

What version do you like more, guys?

+/- 0 exposure compensation

+2/3 exposure compensation

[pechelman]

Definitely the +EV. This needs overexposure because there's a lot of black in the frame which will meter as less light than the assumed 60% grey. The brick looks better too and probably the best way to spot meter on that and also use to help set white balance if needed.

[cityofdelusion]

I generally prefer the photo to reflect as much as possible that what the photographer sees while taking the photo. That said, when taking photos that are meant to show the evolution of clothing, I prefer the contrast, exposure etc. to be as close to the "reality" of what is being showcased as possible. I vote for the +2/3 exposure compensation - in this case, because I have a pair of 888-SBG too and know what they're "supposed" to look like.

[weftyarn]

Perfect, thanks guys!

[Fades for future]

@weftyarn thanks Mate, your SBG looks great too and yes, hard to take pics at the moment

@weftyarn I think the extra exposure reveals more of the true nature of the fabric without over-highlighting it. It is difficult to capture such darkness without giving the fades an optical boost. I don’t see exposure as an advantage, just a tool for an accurate capture. Not like cranking the contrast post-shot. Jeans looks great! Having my own at the same stage, I know how light can be mistaken for fades with these. Love SBG!
