Here's an update on my current denim project. Nudie RRDS 31/36 worn for 5 months and not washed yet. Unless anything unexpected happens, my plan is to keep on wearing these until 01 May 2008 before the first wash. They already smell pretty bad because I don't air them or soak them.

Here's my latest buy. A 35 year old reproduction of a Levis banner. It's made in the mid-70s for Levis, printed on vintage selvage denim. I just love it!
