How was this achieved?

Other than the obvious, wearing them everyday and not being precious about how dirty they get, what you keep in the pockets and worrying about what they will look like in the future.

From early on, infact within the first week lines and creases will begin to form which will remain for the life of the jeans.

In this case is all about the washing. A hot machine wash with ample detergent will bring the highest contrast, in the wear marks. the more detergent the better considering you haven’t washed jeans in a number of years.

Then its time to start breaking in another pair!

Maurizio Cattelan L.O.V.E 2011

Maurizio Cattelan

Born in 1960 in Padova, Italy. The reason i am so drawn to Cattelan is his sense of humor, something so lacking in the art world.  His work is actually enjoyable!

His most well known artwork: La Nona Ora (The Ninth Hour) c.1999 depicts Pope John Paul II being hit by a meteorite

NOIR Jean02
17 Ounce selvedge denim, beautifully crafted by Japanese artisans. Taking a more western cut than its Jean01 brother. Looser in the leg straight cut and a homage to Lee with a western back pocket. With all NOIR pieces is ALWAYS about the details! vintage style raised belt loops and Hebi patch on the waistband. Universal rivets on the front pockets and hidden on the back. Custom folded coin pocket to show off the selvedge. Chain stitched at the leg opening.

The colour of the Pocket and inside leg taping- Digger green. A colour chosen for similarity to the early Australian Army uniforms of the 20th century.
