Pure Blue Japan 008xx VS 005xx (11 months in use)

I am not a fan of big contrast fades, I love comfortable and clean wearing on denims, so I wash these two pairs of denims regularly^^ (once per month in FW, twice per month in SS)

As you know, 005xx is famous for :

* 14.5oz slubby japanese selvage denims

* Deep indigo dyed

008xx is like:

* 13.5oz smoothy japanese selvage denims

* "sky blue" indigo dyed

They are totally different types of denims, but I have to say I love them both ...

Here is my pair of 005xx, I keep on wearing them in first 9 months (5 days per month), and then wearing them 2 months in summer in a second year...

"Cat's Whiskers" fades in front of pocket

The front right pocket is worn out someplaces, so I did a red stiching 
repairs...

I always place my Zippo on the watch pocket,so you can identify I am a smoker easily ( Yes, It is all about the herbal life)！！！

The fabric of ankle areas are much thinner now...Cause I always knee down to help our customers to tie their footwears^^

005xx back view

I did a lot of repairs in hip area...Maybe my ass is too fat?

The deerskin patch looks like dark brown color now, and it is shrunk after couple washes

I wear this pair of 005xx in size 28, it is really tight in the first time,so they honey combs are more visual than others

roping fades and worn-outs!!!!

005 xx brand new vs 11 months in use

Pure Blue Japan 008xx,most comfortable for warm seasons and it has vintage tastes , I think all denims geeks should have at least one pair of "Sky Blue" denims for your collections , it fades totally different as "Deep Indigo" versions

"Cat's Whiskers" fades in front of pocket

 Zippo fades in watch pocket

 The fabric of 008xx turns to be brown sugar color, I am really into this kind of feeling^^

 back view

 I love the worn-outs in the back pocket area, it reminds me of my Nokia N95...

 The sheepskin leather patch turns to be darker, but not much as deerskin

I wear size 29 008xx, so it feels a little roomy...There is no much contrasts for "honey combs", But I still feel OK cause this pair of denims was prepared for warm seasons

 Brand new VS 11 months in use





Sometimes, some customers ask me " What kind of  denims do you think are the best choice denims?" 

I just can tell them"  If they will be memorable for you, they are the best and valued for you...^^"
