Unbranded UB101 - 1 year, 1 wash/soak (sort of)

[wistukb]

Last April, I set out to get a pair of cheap jeans that could last me a long time. After a bit of looking, I decided upon the UB101, or Unbranded Skinny. I went up a size for no real reason, ending up with a 29. I wore them almost every day (and night) for a year, only switching to other jeans if these were being repaired.

Here they are at 6 months, all pictures taken with a terrible camera. Please excuse how awful they look




Then, some pictures at 10 months. Again, I'm not the best photographer, but these are slightly better. There are a lot, so I figured album grouping would be best.

And lastly, one year. I went to Iceland last week and spent some time in front of Geysir. After about an hour of getting drenched by the geysers in the area, I drove back to the hotel and rinsed them off in the shower to get rid of the nasty sulfur smell.

Two days later, however, I climbed up Sn?fellsj?kull. Going up wasn't an issue, but going down, I slid on my butt for a good 50 feet and left a nice streak of indigo in the ice...

Well, here they are after all that:

Two patches in the knees, two patches in the crotch, and a repaired back pocket blowout. One year of wear, and that Gersir/shower wash/soak. Hope you enjoy!

Good stuff! Those combs are awesome.

Good fades. You have 2 phones and 2 wallets?

Actually, a phone, an iPod, a wallet/key/coins, and then a pen/notebook. The pen is what caused the massive rip, so I moved it to the other pocket.

Plus the button fade details - nicely done

Your honeycombs are amazing.

I'm barely past 60 days with my UB 201's and they honeycombs aren't coming out as even. The fading is very centralized to like the right side.

Props again to an amazing pair of jeans!

They are coming along a treat!

Love the defined honey combing & the rip adds to the character

Your combs are on point, looking great for a pair of unbrandeds bro!

Thanks for bumping this out of the lost&found haha. These look great! I wonder what happened to them by now.

Since my original post, these have been washed twice, I guess.

Once in the giant flood in Beijing over the summer (playing outside was irresistible) and then in a sink in my dorm there. They climbed the Great Wall (I think) and survived other hiking ventures. I hardly wear them anymore, but I love 'em to death. Maybe I'll get around to taking more pictures sometime soon.
