I shouldn't say this, but I can because I'm not a judge in this thing, if there are a better pair of faded jeans on the planet then I have not seen them. Incredible.

[fanya]

Kind words Mega, thank you!

Awesome jeans you got there @fanya
You sure know how to fade jeans and to keep them intact. Really impressed that you have been able to keep them in such a great shape. No real "jeans hospital" treatment at all.
My jeans are most of the time in need of patching all over the place after a year of wear. Regardless of weight and cut

IH 301s 07bk

I've worn these for approximately 21 out of the 24 months with pauses due only to hot weather and repairs.  I'm happy to report that they've finally faded a bit, but still much less than I expected.

The crotch has blown 3 times but otherwise they have held up very well.  I'll be entering them in the Last Man Standing contest.

IH-555-03

I'm sorry I haven't post in ages. This is the current state of my IH-555-03. I've washed them in the bathtub like 3 times and send them twice to The Works for crotch and flyloop repairs (Top notch service as I suspected). I couldn't wear them as much during weekdays because of my fecking job and to be completely honest because I have another 2 pairs in rotation (these are my favoritesthough). Still plenty of life in them which I guess is a positive thing, right? (just trying to consolate myself after checking out the state of some other contestants' jeans).

Shortened cross post of a few pictures from from the final submission thread. Can't believe two years went by so fast.

I have really enjoyed the IH Megabusters for the last two years. One initial soak and three or four washes. They have had a few crotch repairs, one hem reinforcement and new stitches for the top buttonhole.
