The Project Wear and Tear ends here…. I’ve worn my jeans since Jan 11 2011. Even though I know there are still 3 days left, I believe it wont change my jeans much and Railcar Viper is waiting for me
It’s been such a wonderful experience and I’ve been enjoying the project with all of you. I don’t think i could commit to one pair for the whole year without all your support. That’s why I would like to thank every single one of you my dear Wear and Tear friends for such a cool project and I’m gonna miss y’all.














Thank You so much Nordic Denim House <3





Great job IKA !!!
Like you mention, it is very hard to keep on wearing a jean every single day for one year.
As you know, I stopped wearing mine (daily basis) at 8Mo of wear… Not that I wanted to stop, but the jean is at display in the store… I’ll be wearing one for 3/4Mo now, and the next will be 12Mo+ (the new 0702). If you display a jean and it is worn to much, people don’t understand the evolution from new to current state… if you can show it gradually, they suddenly do
That(s why I opted to stop wearing it at the 8Mo mark : beautiful evo without going over the top… (See it as a commercial decision)… And I have my eyes on some ONI’s… pfftt, ro much denim, to littel time
See ya soon?
yes, you’re right Rob… it’s so damn hard and i think it’s more like 10.5 months of effective wear. i have also some other jeans at 7, 8, 9 months evolution but they’re completely different brands and cuts. We have to admit that all of us here have denim addiction, we buy more jeans than we could fade them LoL….
shall i bring my jeans too on Sunday?
oki. What time are you planning to pass?
what time do you prefer Rob? im thinking to take the train at 11.27 or 10.27? so we’ll arrive at Antwerp CS at 1 or 12 then take the train to dam?
ask Timmy to join?
Nice work! And congrats for a job well done. I’m right behind you
Thank you Tuomas and you’ll bring the crown home
Jesu Cristo! As the Italian Spiderman might say. That’s one impressive pair of jeans. Well done Ika. I think the top three is starting to be rather obvious right now.
grazie…. and the voting starts now? Tuomas still has 8 weeks to reach the top :p
Indeed, Tuomas has some time left to catch up. But I think we are going to move into the voting stage soon. Real soon.
Hi, Ika.
